Art Deco styling from Next
A good friend once said to me that Art Nouveau was all about summer – pretty colours, swirls and florals, but that Art Deco was Winter – a stark palette of black, white, cream with a few bright primary shades thrown in. I would take the metaphor further and say if Nouveau was day, then Deco was most definitely night. And maybe that’s what makes Art Deco styling so perfect for glamorous festive evening wear. Next have taken the Deco trend that has been such a key story in recent seasons and have reinvented it for Winter 2012. Taking all those stark, contrasting colours – the black and white, or…

Sekonda Party Time Watches – Perfect for every occasion.
When you think about the perfect gift – you have to go far to beat a watch. Suitable for both sexes and all ages, a watch can be pretty as well as practical. It is a gift that suits everyone, even if you don’t wear any other sort of jewellery, the chances are you will wear a watch. My watch obsession at my present time is the Sekonda Party time watches. I love these, they come in the widest range of colours, from the classic black and white designs, to the brightest of yellow and orange. With swim proof and splash proof versions, these are highly practical watches, but the…

This collection is sure to be a total sell out, being the perfect gift for a loved one, and also completely exquisite jewellery that would adorn any bride on her big day. The collection is huge, showcasing…

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. Red London Routemaster bus charms…

Nelly.com launch party – Oh what a night!
Late on Tuesday evening the email I’d been waiting for dropped into the Inbox – an invite to the Nelly.com launch party. This was the much-anticipated launch to the exciting online company that is already the toast of Scandinavia, and is now set to conquer the UK. To be held in the luxurious surroundings of Aqua, this was a party not to be missed. And of course, it surpassed all expectations. The whole of Aqua had been the willing victim of a Nelly takeover. There was a nail bar treating guests to glittering manicures, rails of gorgeous dresses from the likes of AX Paris to drool over, and then there…
