Folli Follie Bracelets – A fashion passion
Last Christmas I attended a special bloggers event at Selfridges in Birmingham. It was an amazing event which I truly enjoyed, and the night was enhanced even more when we were given a special Christmas goodie bag to take home. I literally let out a squeal of delight when I discovered an orange Folli Follie pouch within, and squealed some more when I opened it to find a beautiful signature bracelet in one of my favourite shades of blue. Christmas had certainly come early! Since that night I have fallen deeper and deeper in love with Folli Follie, a brand which I think designs beautiful jewellery which also deliver the…

Dower and Hall welcome the new season in sparkle
Eminent British jewellery designers Dower and Hall turned thoughts to the season of glitter and sparkle when they showcased their Autumn/Winter 2013 collection in London last month. Showcasing a collection that ranged from Vintage inspired pieces to the thoroughly modern, Dower and Hall showed just why they are celebrating 30 years in the business. Every single piece of jewellery was beautiful in its own way, but as with every collection, there were some standouts. My particular standout was the brand new Chintz collection, which is not available yet, but is sure to be very popular. A stunning mixture of sterling silver with an openwork design, paired with a sea-glass Opalite,…

Red-hot edit from Selfridges
What is it about the colour red that makes it so special? Is it because red is the colour associated with passion and love, from Valentine’s hearts to red-hot lovers? Is it that fact that it is also the colour of naughtiness, of red devils, Bette Davis in Jezabel, and the deep red apple that tempted Snow White? Or maybe it is because of the connotations with Hollywood glamour, would those Ruby Red Slippers have been such a powerful symbol if they had remained silver, like they were in Frank L Baum’s original story? I think it is maybe a little bit of all of the above. Red is always…

Bank Christmas in July event – Simply Stunning
Another hot, indeed scorching, Summer day, and another event where we were looking towards the festive season. This time the event was in the swish surroundings of London’s Westbury hotel, and the brand in question was Bank. And if, like me, you think of Bank as a destination only catering for very young, casual and fast fashion, be prepared to have a serious rethink, because the Bank Christmas in July event was full of glitter and sparkle. There was definitely vintage inspiration on show in the collection, with beading, embellishment and sequins all heavily in evidence. The Great Gatsby elegance shows no signs of disappearing, and 1920s style evening dresses…
