Home sweet home! My iPad has a new home





After weeks of deciding and scouring the Internet I've finally  found a home for my iPad in the form of this IPad sleeve from icon brands.    This is the one modelled off a amp box nd designed by the Australian accessories company .... a selling point was im very clumsy and ive dropped my Ipad a few times and this is really padded to the touch ....


Im totally happy with my decision..... available from www.iconbrand.com



A CLOSER LOOK AT DOLCE & GABBANA WOMENS SS 12

We have waited and waited and now its finally here ... spring and also Dolce & Gabbana SS 12 is starting to drop in-store and online Ive managed to get these images from luisaviaroma.com so I could show you more of the collection not on models but how it would appear online  if you were to buy.  The collection is all about the Italian family and features some amazing prints of floral and even peppers... its very 50s inspired with the long printed pencil skirts and full prom skirts - but this is Dolce & Gabbana they always bring it to the table and make sure they add sexy to their designs and this is done buy showing off the midriff but in a classy way .... Ive said it before and I will say it again this collection is faultless and flawless and I love it more now than when I first saw it in Milan....

Nicole Farhi AW 12 press preview


The Nicole Farhi AW 12 show for me was one of the best at London fashion week this season, so it was great going along to the press preview to take a closer look.  The collection is rich in colour and texture and was inspired by the Edith Sitwell boo "English Eccentrics".  Prints are used in contrast with one another, to create a soft feminine silhouette.  The Silhouette are clean, drawing sift 1930s feminine lines.  Lots of silks and layered knitwear are present and create elegant fluid shapes.......



The pairing of soft materials and hard textures continues through mettalic stud embossed clutches, leather plaited bags and chunky enamelled jewellery.
