Some things that are just made for each other. Like star-crossed lovers, they are best when they are together.
Jelly and Ice cream
Vinyl and dance music
Black and lace
Lipstick and red
Mascara and black
One of my new favourite combinations is animal print jeans with lace socks and red suede creepers.
Happy happy happy! I stare at my feet all day long when I wear this combo.
That is all.

During London Fashion Week we did a quick, but I feel essential, round of the exhibition. Whilst there seemed to be endless people just hovering around outside seemingly hoping to be photographed in their admittedly very lovely outfits, I couldn't wait to have a good nosey at the, often overlooked, exhibitors.
At the Bloody Gray stand I was really loving the work of Martina Spetlova. A myriad of textured skins in bright colours and plenty of zips.
Martina graduated from the the MA course at Central Saint Martins with distinction. Her fabulously bright collection was chosen for the Central Saint Martins show, shown as part of London Fashion Week in February 2010.
Martina's latest collection carries on in the same vein as her graduate collection but slightly more tempered. the riot of colour and texture is still very present, but she has included simple knitted dresses and jersey pieces. It was zippered, patchwork jackets that caught my eye however. They exude luxury.

For going to London Topshop furnished me with a beautiful dress I have been wanting since I first set eyes upon it in the SS11 lookbook.
A heady mixture of ombre, orange and chiffon make for the dress of my dreams. I wore it to the Vivienne Westwood party and actually felt rather lovely wafting around with the flowing train...which Cory Kennedy then stood on.
I also wore it on Saturday dressed down with leather leggings and leather jacket. We also took the chance to snap a new Royal Portrait too since our last one is over a year old. And, quite by accident, we matched each other perfectly in orange and black!

Imagine just how wonderful a necklace would be, if it came complete with crystal spears and cowbells!!!!!
Not only would it be real purty to look at but other people would hear you coming a mile off and would be able to get out of your path in plenty of time.
Behold the ASOS Cowbell and Spear Necklace £50.00...
If it's good enough for Heidi then it's good enough for me*...

* for all the pedants out there, I know that strictly speaking she would have goatbells not cowbells. Please excuse my creative liberty taking...

I'm sending birthday wishes to the wonderful Hunting and Collecting as they celebrate their first birthday today...
Hunting and Collecting opened its doors on the 27th of february 2010 on rue des Chartreux 17, in Brussels, Belgium, saying -
"Our aim is to bring emerging culture : fashion, design, art and lifestyle to the heart of the city.. We have been hunting and collecting designers and artists from all over the world, curating what in our eyes is relevant in independant creative expression today. Each season, spring/summer and fall/winter, we will be exploring new territory and we will publish a journal, with a small selection of what we have featured in store and on our website."
I will forgive them the use of the word 'curated'. Mainly because it is apparent, that every single thing they select for sale, is intelligently considered and carefully chosen. That may sound 'worthy' or dull but nothing could be further from the truth. The resulting stock each season is stylish, refined and timeless.
I have selected my current favourites, starting with a bag, I have been smitten with for the longest while. As soon as I get some pennies together, it will be mine, all mine. Oh yes it will.
Antiatoms Paper Bag in craft leather €138.00
Carl Clerkin wooden Bucket Seat complete with carrying handle €195
Arielle de Pinto Web Necklace in gold vermeil €255.00
Many Happy Returns and Congratulations Aude and Niels.
Queen Marie
