Covet a Clutch

A clutch finishes off any outfit. 

Whether your going City Chic or Holistic Hamptons, the art of the clutch polishes off any outfit with a well rounded (or squared- dependent on your choice!) seal of approval. 

With March 'springing' into fruition (get it?), a new season calls for a new wave of Little Bag candies! My must haves for this season?

1. These wonderful little perspex numbers from Furoshiki Shiki. Not suitable for the lady who leaves crushed Maltesers at the bottom of their bag, these see through bad boys will put all of the contents of your bag on display. So be sure to have a thorough clear out before rocking a Shiki! 

2. J'adore Clare V! These streamlined 'Oui' and 'Non' bags by Clare V come in the most delicious of monochromatic colour tones. Pair with your ripped jeans and blazer or maxi dress for that chilled out beach Sunday- I guarantee this is one to round your wardrobe off perfectly! 

3. See by Chloe does it again for this season! The younger line of the Chloe luxury brand has released this demure clutch for the up and coming little lady. Pair with a tailored look and channel your inner Blair Waldorf! 

4. For my pure amusement to 'make you happy' (in every sense of the word), Charlotte Olympia  has released this Tequilla Bottle Shaped Trick into the market! Love! 

Tijuana or Tottenham Court Road- we'll race you there!

The Run up to the Main Event

My wardrobe changes a lot.

I may put on an, attempted, well ironed and starched formal number one day, or chuck on a creased shirt and worn in biker boots another- but the one article of clothing that stays constant in my wardrobe is my signature uniform in the run up to the main event- my dressing gown.

Call it what you may-dressing gown, silk robe, I've even heard a whisper of a housecoat from a friend that reigns from the northern regions- it’s the one thing I can’t bear to be without.

Wearing my trusted silk number at least once a day for the past year, it is officially safe to say that it has seen better days- and it is now time to, alas, find a replacement for my trusted companion. With a slightly heavy heart [ok shelving the dramatics], I started my search into the market for the perfect replacement and came across the luxurious Julianna Rae.

A tailor-made approach to luxury Robes; Julianna Rae’s apparel is designed for the healthy, active, independent woman who have a sense of style and most importantly a sense of themselves.

My favourites from the collection include the Il Cieli Spa Wrap, and what’s more it’s reversible! 

Fine & delicious silk on one side, and delectably soft mini-terry on the other- that’s definitely a two in one worth investing in!

I also fell head over heels for this La Tresor Silk Wrap with a delicate lace trim on the sleeves and side seam pockets- the perfect getting ready companion before heading out for an evening in the city!

Stocked mainly in the states, you can pick up one of these babies here.

Go on ladies- wrap yourself in luxury this spring! 

Beulah London

As you all know, I love personalized things.

I’m forever on the hunt for unique gift ideas where I can emboss someone specials initials, or sew down a meaningful quote or something just to put a personal spin on what could otherwise be known  as a ‘generic gift’.

I'd heard about Beulah London's infamous personalized scarves from a friend who was dropping serious birthday gift hints 

but my are they so much more than that. 

With my official writers cap on- Bow down to Beulah London.

I first learnt about Beulah London- the real brand, while travelling across India exploring local and imported textiles and fabrics. With a concept that was established in Delhi, Beulah London is a sartorial approach to a carefree way of wearing today’s fashion.

Providing a sustainable livelihood to women who have come out of sex trafficking, Beulah has an absolutely beautiful message behind the brand. Representing the journey of women out of darkness and despair into a new life of hope and restoration, a 'Butterfly Effect' if you will. 

 Beulah London channels a positive social change in collaboration with fashion which I’d encourage all readers to become a part of!

And what’s better- you can look good while doing good too!

I have swooned and fallen straight for the Spring Summer ’14 collection from Beulah.

And I’m not talking puppy love- this is real unadulterated passion people!

My favourites from the collection is this Bisque number

that I most definitely will be wearing to friends weddings this season! 

This absolutely stunning Ornament gown perfect for events from gallery openings to benefit gala's. 

Art Deco Earrings and an open decolletage- definitely a winning combination!

Stay on trend this season with this pastel powder blue number

and rock with nude or taupe courts. 

Beulah London is without doubt one of my favorite picks for this coming season, so get swept away with the movement here.
