“Almost unheard of in today’s marketplace, Miriam Haskell’s creations are still made entirely by hand. The value of a Miriam Haskell piece was- and still is- a reflection of this workmanship and meticulous detail.

Jewellery Inspiration: BLAKE LIVELY’s Layered Bracelets

SUMMER BRIDES
This summer has been a season of some pretty epic weddings. We have seen two young women become princesses and one fashion princess become rock royalty.

AndContinue reading “SUMMER BRIDES”

SUMMER SPIKES… from Runways to Sophie’s Closet
Giselle Bunchen wearing Balmain in V Magazine (April 2011) There is nothing wrong with letting our inner tough girl shine: a little bit of punk rock can be just as glamorous as diamonds. And Burberry, Balmain and Jean Paul Gaultier all seem to agree. BURBERRY F/W 2011; NOIR Stackable Rings; JOOMI LIM Gold Spike Bangles;Continue reading “SUMMER SPIKES… from Runways to Sophie’s Closet”
