Jimmy Choo Pink Candy Bag Crush

I am totally in love with the delectable Jimmy Choo Candy bag in Hot Pink.  This bag brings the summer with it.  Available in a palette of many juicy colours it makes a great addition to any outfit.  Be loud and proud and pluck it from the gorgeous powder pink coloured shelf of the Jimmy Choo store or bag yourself one online at Net-a-porter.


Team with the oh-so chic Crystal embellished black satin sandals from Giuseppe Zanotti with cutout details to pick up a hint of colour from the bag. Zing with a hot choice of nail colour.



Throw on this beautiful Geir Horse printed maxi black silk-georgette maxi dress with a divine horse face print and ride off into the sunset.  This stunning dress by Kimberly Ovitz can be worn belted with a statement chain belt or loose. Divinity in motion.

Remember G-Shock watches from back in the day.  Well here is one that makes me say OOOHHH LA LA...talk french to me baby.  The G-Shock ManBox is a colourful treat for the eyes and takes me back to a playful time of sweeties and crayons.



Style tip- Wear with all black and let your G-Shock ManBox show itself proudly.

Todays crush..The Rodarte Light Fantastic

These Nicholas Kirkwood for Rodarte AW10 shoes are such a beautiful creation, I would love them to light my path to somewhere glorious and special.


Style tip - Mix with soft fabrics for and tough and smooth look.  Keep it simple and let the shoes speak for themselves.

Alexander McQueen's Final collection

As I write this the final collection of the late Lee Alexander McQueen is being shown in Paris.  Read the full story on Grazia Daily.

What an amazing honour it must be for those who have been invited to attend the showing in a beautiful Parisian salon.  I am sure that the collection will be amazing as was his creative genius to the very last and as reported by Grazia he has used some of the many influences he had previously like religion and fantasy.

Also as reported by the BBC has won a well deserved posthumous Brit Insurance Design Awards 2010 for his latest spring/summer catwalk show. Take a peek at this article written by Rajini Vaidyanathan from BBC News about the 6 ways that Alexander McQueen changed fashion.

I hope that the brand of Alexander McQueen will live on for years to come even with the loss of the man himself.

Topshop Unique Jumpsuit..Yes Please

I am totally crushing on this delish Shark Print Jumpsuit courtesy of Topshop Unique. The jumpsuit is full leg and 100% silk..a snip at £150. I love the print and the cutaway detail adds shape and interest to this exciting piece. As a major Jumpsuit/Catsuit/ Playsuit fan I can’t wait to get my own.



Styling tip.. Keep it simple so as not to detract from the amazing print work. Team with some killer wedge heels to make your legs look like they go on for miles. Throw on a leather biker and you are ready for a night out.

For a casual look put on some Converse trainers and a slouchy cardigan with a loose belt..either way you will look amazing in this!!

Michael Jackson - True Style Icon

I am eagerly awaiting a moment when I am free for a few hours to sit and relax in the comfort of my sofa and view my latest purchase. Micheal Jackson – This is it. I am a true true fan and have been since I discovered his great music, style and moves at the age of 5. After seeing the advertising I am most excited about the Costume Featurette so we can see the work that went into making the Icon amaze and certainly dazzle on the tour of the century.
As a proud holder of pretty pricey tickets to the much anticipated This is it tour I was shocked and deeply saddened by Michaels’ untimely death at the age of 50. This was it for me. It was my chance to see my icon and what a show it would be. After seeing this is it in the cinema, sitting at my computer on the day of release to book those tickets to view the show that never was , I sat in awe with a depressing edge….this really was the show to end all shows.

Micheal was a true icon of style as well as musically. When can another man carry sequins and rhinestones so convincingly as his signature look..truely a man after my own heart. His flamboyant take on military, that Rhinestone Glove, the red leather jacket from Thriller, Leather straps in Bad…..He is and will forever be an ICON.

This has to be one of my favourites…paired with the Ray-bans Aviators shielding out the world he works his style endlessly

 
MJ Forever
 
Please be sure to leave a tribute on his website in their bid to make 1 Million Tributes to Micheal Jackson.
