Beautiful Valentino Haute Spring 2014
If Haute Couture has an everyday function, it must surely be that of inspiring and delighting those of us who love beauty. Whether you’d wear it or can afford it really isn’t the point of the party, is it? Sure, sure, there’s an obvious marketing statement to be made as well as reference to the […]

Accessorising …
Don’t know about you but I’m not seeing much for F/W 2013 that is inspiring me to buy. I’m feeling more inclined to accessorise what I’ve got. I’ve come across a few fun sites recently that sell the more funky, even industrial, junk jewellery that I prefer to wear … I’m not into fine jewellery […]

Like most of us, I’m really looking for the inspirational, something I might be able to adapt for my […]

MoreInspirational Design: Uma Wang
We all have a favourite look, don’t we? With all the spring fashion shows over, for Spring/Summer 2014, my personal pick for star designer is Uma Wang. Love, love, love is oozing from me for her. I would buy and wear nothing else but this whole collection for the entire summer and beyond if I […]
