Bridget Jones is the ultimate female movie icon. We all watched the first film back in 2001 and it's held a special place in all single girls' hearts ever since. The fourth installment - Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy - arrived in theatres on Valentine's Day and we've all become obsessed all over again.
I devoured the new film (and cried buckets) but as a fashion editor, I just couldn't switch off from Bridget's girl-next-door style, and how it hasn't changed throughout the entire franchise.

I did notice though, that B is all about high-end accessories, which actually feature throughout all four films, showing the key element of a designer wardrobe - items made to last.
Mulberry 'Bayswater'
The blonde beauty doesn't part ways with her Mulberry 'Bayswater' in dark brown. The 'Bayswater' is one of the most iconic bags out there - growing up, I remember it was one of the 'ultimates' - every celebrity and model had one.

Instantly recognisable by its signature postman lock, it's one of those bags that everyone knows.
Bridget has always used it, filling it up with all her bits and bobs, and in the new film, the now mum-of-two packs it the brim with maternal necessities. When the character goes back to work, she adapts it again - slung cross-body, giving it a new lease of life. Sadly, Mulberry doesn't make Bridget's colourway anymore, but the 'Ebony Heavy Grain' is a pretty decent match.
Anya Hindmarch 'Raffia Eyes Cross-body' bag
Bridget wears this cuter-than-cute rafia bag on numerous dates with her new love, Leo Woodall's character, Rockster.

It's £350 and still available to buy. A great one for your summer wardrobe!
The Tiffany & co. 'Elsa Peretti Open Heart Pendant'
Bridget has always worn the iconic Tiffany 'floating heart necklace' as people refer to it, and it features in the new film, too, although it looks like it's had a fresh clean and revamp.

It symbolises the 90s to me; I had this exact necklace and adored wearing it during my youth! Maybe I need to dig it out and take a trip down memory lane, a la Bridget?
