Rigby & Peller Lingerie

Tuesday, January 22nd, 2008

rigby-and-peller.jpgLooking for understated elegance, head to Rigby & Peller. The expensive and luxurious brand has some fabulously sexy, lacy numbers.

Apart from the obvious occasion, Valentines Day coming up, buy some lingerie to make yourself feel good. This Rigby & Peller Felina Seduction Underwired Basque will have any man to his knees and will make you feel like a million dollars! The lace basque oozes sophistication and is finished with some glamorous diamante detailing. There is an option of matching thong or bikini brief, but in this day and age I’d go with the bikini brief – French knickers ooze sex appeal.

Get your Felina lingerie set at Rigby & Peller online. The basque is £96.95, and both the brief and thong are priced at £33.95.


Jagger Jewellery!

Sunday, January 20th, 2008

Jagger Kiss NecklaceJade Jagger has produced a new collection of jewellery just in time for summer! It is what you would expect from the sun kissed party girl; a gold dominated collection with a slight boho feel mixed with a few diamontes to give it that all important glitz and glamour!

The collection is slightly ‘seen it all before’; all the gold and bling, skulls and lip charms, however I’m sure it will do well! This necklace is a Jade Jagger Kiss necklace, it is gold plated with a diamonte embellished lip charm. For £300.00 this may be a little over priced, however judge for yourself on Net-a-porter, they have a selection of Jade Jagger’s new collection for you to critique!


A Must Have!

Topshop Floral Tiered Mini SkirtThis skirt is just sooo adorable! Topshop have got it so right again with this cute tiered mini skirt; it is just what we need to break us out of those drab winter clothes and into the fresh new spring collections. If you haven’t already noticed by now floral is really going to take over this summer! With Stella Mc Cartney and Balenciaga being the drive for inspiration with their unforgettable floral prints dominating the catwalks, it is of no surprise!

This skirt is truly fab! It will look great with some thick woolly tights or leggings for the winter, then when the sun finally comes out you can ditch the tights and get some air to those legs! For £30.00 you will be silly to miss out on this bargain!

A truly beautiful collection called ‘Mint Choc-Chip & Raspberry Chocolate-Ripple has just been launched from the label and I have to say its good enough to eat! Taking inspiration from Edwardian and Victorian times, Patrick and Skinner have produced a collection bursting with elegance and beauty. The use of sumptuous silks and lace in unusual colour palettes really set this collection apart from most!

Pilati’s Star Collection!

Sunday, January 20th, 2008

Stefano Pilati’s Star NecklaceI first noticed this stunning necklace when I was flicking through a magazine and saw an advertisement for Yves Saint Laurent; there was Kate Moss wearing a cute grey jumper dress with this stunning bold statement around her neck; the multicoloured plexiglas star necklace!

I have to say this necklace is fantastic; so unique and completely reflective of the Star trend which is going to be so hot this summer! This necklace was designed by Stefano Pilati, he has produced a whole collection of star jewellery for Yves Saint Laurent; I can’t wait to see what’s next!

This necklace costs £1,795! For those of you lucky enough to afford it check out Stylefinder for stockists!

Chloe PVC MacRain, rain go away! If you’re getting sick of those long rainy days too, I may have something that might help you to brave the wet weather; the ‘PVC Mac!’

PVC dominated the high street last year with PVC belts, bags and shoes all jazzing up our winter wardrobes! Well if you were a PVC queen throughout the winter season you’ll be pleased to know that PVC isn’t going anywhere this spring! Hoorah!

The latest trend is the ‘PVC Mac,’ perfect for this miserable weather!

The first Mac will definitely turn some heads; this shocking pink design from Chloe is just what we need to brighten up those rainy days! Check it out for yourself on Chloe.com.

The New ‘It’ Bag

Sunday, January 13th, 2008

yves-saint-laurent-tote.jpgThe new ‘it’ bag has hit the fashion market! It’s designed by Yves Saint Laurent and it’s called the ‘Patent Downtown Tote’.

Another great designer bag to give the this season’s already famous and most wanted Marc Jacobs ‘Classic Stam’ a run for its money. The Sleek and stylish tote is the perfect arm candy! It’s in keeping with the big bag trend, its black a colour to match pretty much all outfits and has a great shape, ideal for the chic city girl. Its £840.00, and so totally worth every penny.

Get your Yves Saint Laurent ‘Patent Downtown Tote’ from Harvey Nichols online.


Killer Heels!

Sunday, January 13th, 2008

Jill Sander SandalsHow about these for a pair of heels! Jill Sander has wowed us with a unique collection of shoes this spring. With stick thin heels being the way forward this season, Sander is definitely achieving the look with these crazy heels. The unusual structure of the heel is definitely what sets this sandal apart from most, it immediately grabbed my attention and I’m sure it will set tongues wagging across the fashion world.

I’m personally not sure about these new reed thin heels, I think they look great but are definitely not practical; I’m sure I would take a few stumbles in them! However if you think you can handle these killer heels, this particular pair are available from Harvey Nichols for £315!


Jimmy Choo Collaboration!

Sunday, January 13th, 2008

Jimmy Choo Collaboration2007 seemed like the year for collaborations with Stella Mc Cartney joining forces with H&M and Alexander Mc Queen with Puma, we saw some exciting collections from our favourite designers!

Well you’ll be pleased to know that 2008 brings more collaboration’s to tantalise our taste buds! The latest designer to step on the bandwagon is Jimmy Choo! The hugely successful accessory label has teamed up with US pop artist Richard Philips to produce two limited edition clutch bags. These bags feature vibrant prints from his archives including ‘Riot’ and ‘Nuclear’! These prints are fab and will definitely add a sense of fun and glamour to your wardrobe; something every woman needs! This particular clutch comes in white and red and can be yours for £295!


Get Painting!

Sunday, January 13th, 2008

Spray Paint Trend!Yes believe it or not the hottest new trend for spring is the painter/decorator look! It seems that the more paint splattered over your clothes the better! Dolce and Gabbana definitely haven’t held back with this look and I can’t say I blame them; splashing paint over thousands of pounds worth of clothes sounds like fun!

I absolutely love this collection; Dolce and Gabbana have successfully made the scruffy paint effect look chic and stylish! The simple yet structured dresses provide a perfect base for the exciting combination of colours and brush streaks.

So give your old decorating clothes a new lease of life or even try some paint splattering at home! You never know you may give Dolce and Gabbana a run for their money!
