ACCESSORIES - BURBERRY METALLICS

I was doing a little window shopping on Bond Street earlier today and there are certain windows I always visit and a MUST is Burberry ... Always love what they produce and how they visually merchandise it and I tip my hat because they know how to make a window and draw attention to it.

The Bond street store has a window totally dedicated to metallic accessories such as clutches/tablet cases and wallets. It was a simple window and the product tells you all you need to know and it spoke volumes to me ... I'm obsessed with the colour palettes of blue, yellow and bronze it reminds me of looking into a tin of Quality Streets ... So vibrant and so tempting.

Check out my snaps and let me know what you think.

UGG MEN'S SS 13 PRESS PREVIEW

Although I was only able to see an edited version of the collection for men from UGG for SS 13 I'm totally impressed with what I was shown. Let me take it from the top about the preview itself .... Not like any I've been to before.

Set within The Scotch Mason's Yard, London just behind the Jermyn Street ...... invited guests arrived to a whiskey inspired cocktail reception which I will be the first to admit I'm not a fan of but now totally won over..... We mingled and chatted until our whiskey tasting and talk and quiz so we had to make sure we were listening .... A talk on whiskey you may ask? But honestly it was very informative to the tune I came second in said quiz, so it was unlike press previews I've been to but it certainly made an impact.

We were then let loose to ahh and coo over the SS 13 and what a collection it is ...

I headed for the bags first which include travel, day bags and weekenders which were in canvas a leather to which I may add the leather emulated kid leather which is one of the best leathers around and to touch was like butter.

Now on to my forte.... Shoes!!! A well rounded collection which offers hi tops, loafers, ankle boots, sandals and the piste du resistance wingtips and derby's. The first thing noticeable about all the shoes were their weight and the lack of it ! Brilliant ideal for summer who wants to walk around with heavy boots in the sun but all are lightweight and breathable and have a unique feature they are lined with fur so for those sockless day your feet will breathe and won't end up having hard skin because of this feature.


With decks shoes hi tops called Geek Chic this is going to be a very popular collection ... The collection takes you the Marrakech a place which has attracted musicians, artists and moguls in search of exotic experiences. UGG for MEN SS 13 goes behind the red walls of a thriving ancient city that has emerged as an international epicentre of style and influence. UGG for MEN blends the foundational elements of the collections, authenticity, fine craftsmanship and effortless style with designs and colours inspired by the Red City.



Definitely worth checking out .......

LOUIS VUITTON PRE FALL 2013 PRESS PREVIEW

Earlier today I was invited along to the Louis Vuitton Pre Fall 2013 press preview which is entitled "Lace is More" aswell as icons which are timeless Louis Vuitton designs which are always a part of the standard collection but reinterpreted based on current trends.

The main silhouette in the Pre fall 2013 collection is based on the mistress look from the SS 13 fashion show. Retaining the same elongated lines combined with different lengths reminiscent of the 60s.

The Pre fall 2013 heroine reflects the solemn glamour and sombrero grace of a very young Romy Schneider.

Oversized coats, jacquard lace, 60s skate miniskirts, mink collars, feathers and tweeds all featured strongly in the collection which all put together creates a cool attitude and playful luxury.



Verdict - OUTSTANDING !!!!
