Thomas Sabo celebrate the Jubilee with a bit of London ‘Charm’
I am a huge fan of the German Jewellery Brand Thomas Sabo. I was so excited when they launched their Birmingham Store in November 2010 because I just adore the quirky charms they produce, which just seem the perfect gift for so many occasions. Indeed my best friend Dawn got me a charm necklace when my little boy was born which I totally cherish. Thomas Sabo charms and jewels are, frankly, the perfect gift. So it is no surprise that they have produced such a fantastic collection to help celebrate the jubilee. There are delicate pearl earrings and pendants that are topped with tiny silver crowns.

Kurt Geiger Press Day A/W 12/3 – Pretty in Punk
Last Thursday I attended a whole raft of press previews for Autumn/Winter 2012-13. I started with one of my favourite shoe retailers – Kurt Geiger. Now, people who have known me for a long time know that I have a long-standing love affair with the Kurt Geiger range. I have boxes and boxes of the most amazing Kurt Geiger, KG and Carvela shoes that I would never part with – if Kurt Geiger ever got shown at the Design Museum a la Louboutin, they could call on me! So I was really excited by the press day and the new collections, which was entitled ‘Pretty in Punk’. And I loved…
