Shaun Leane Bangle
Some years ago, I bought D some rather unique looking tusk cufflinks – see below – from Shaun Leane. Today, I clicked onto the Shaun Leane site to find a hugely expanded range of jewellery for men and women. I absolutely love the bangle above which comes in a range of colours, including black, priced […]
MoreBold, Beautiful And Damned
I have just pre-ordered Bold, Beautiful and Damned: The World of 1980’s Fashion Illustrator, Tony Viramontes by Dean Rhys Morgan. If you don’t know his work, check out Blouin ArtInfo: Perhaps no other artist encapsulates the new-wave Zeitgeist of the neon eighties like the late fashion illustrator Tony Viramontes. On August 30th, just in time for […]

Alcohol is so deliciously accessible […]

I am always refreshed and inspired by the new so dipping into them […]
MoreSwarm: Oil Painting Bags
I don’t know about you but I hate The Sales. I hate the crowds, the end-of-lines, the old season stock. Oh, I do occasionally buy things – house items for sure, maybe the odd accessory or fashion trend that I fell in love with, that no one else did and so, yay, it’s marked down […]
MoreDelfina Delettrez Bling
Feeling as if I may be late to this party, I’m looking at Delfina Delattrez bling. I love her rings … and I am so not a ring person … er, not a jewellery person at all really. Am I the only person whose burglar, having rifled through my jewellery drawers, left the whole lot […]
