Daisy Jewellery


When it comes to jewellery this season, more is more! Ring stacking, wearing two or more rings on one finger, is the hot trend for 2010. Daisy Jewellery has a huge range of stackable rings, letting you create your own customised, individual style statement.

Having featured in Cosmopolitan and Grazia magazine, Daisy Jewellery is a firm favourite with fashion editors and celebrities like actress Sienna Miller, model Clara Delevingne and makeup artist Jemma Kidd. Having featured at recent prestigious awards ceremonies including The BRITS, Daisy rings were spotted adorning the fingers of Lindsay Lohan, Ke$ha and Estelle to name a few.

With a huge range of designs available, from thin silver bands featuring daisies, butterflies, bees and dragonflies, to chunky gold rings with fierce dragon and lion motifs, you can mix and match every piece, or choose from one of the carefully chosen stack sets.

Daisy stack rings are available from stockist nationwide and come in sizes small, medium and large. Individual rings range in price from €30 to €94.
Call 01 6774626 for stockist information.

Alexander Wang at NY Fashion Week

Ive always had a fascination with capes, delighted they are back once again for AW2010......
Love the cut of this blazer too...

Gorgeous Autumn/ Winter 2010 looks from NY Fashion Week

Marc Jacobs showcased a drool inducing series of coats at NY Fashion Week.

Scrumptious fabrics and cosy furs are a look Ill definately sample.

Yum.

I recently picked up a similar Afghan style coat in Camden Lock whilst in London but a girl can never have too many coats.



My particular favourite......

Rest in Peace - Alexander McQueen



I was very very sad today to hear the news of the passing of Alexander McQueen, he was truely one of the most gifted designers and visionaries of the past 20 years and I will miss his wonderful imagination and the inspiration he provided.

The 40-year-old, who was born Lee Alexander McQueen, was reportedly found hanged in his luxury flat in London's Green Park just days after his mother Joyce died.

A statement from his company, Alexander McQueen, reads: "On behalf of Lee McQueen's family, Alexander McQueen today announces the tragic news that Lee McQueen, the founder and designer of the Alexander McQueen brand, has been found dead at his home.

"He leaves the fashion world with an unfillable void."

His tragic death comes days before London Fashion Week and a month before he was due to showcase his new designs at Paris Fashion Week.

RIP Alexander McQueen.

Cough Cough ****I want !!!!!!**** Cough

This post is a purely selfish one in the hope that someone will see this and buy me these shoes for my upcoming birthday. I'd say the sales assistants in BT2 are pretty sick of me going in and stroking these shoes on a daily basis. Ill be chucked out next time.

I love them.

I'll wear them all the time.

I promise.

Size 7.



The "Lady Dragon" family from Vivienne Westwood Anglomania and Melissa.

..... features include an adjustable slingback strap and peep-toe opening and as with all Melissa shoes, they're crafted in Brazil of natural and sustainable rubber. They are extremely comfortable, mold to your feet after just a few wears, are totally waterproof, and can be cleaned in a sink with good 'ol soap and water.

See, totally practical.

Approx 120/140 euro from BT2.

SIGH.






Or....

Vivienne Westwood + Lady Dragon Orb Smoke

The "Orb" edition is the newest sensation of the coveted "Lady Dragon" heel between Vivienne Westwood Anglomania and Melissa. The gold-toned mirrored orb compliments the translucent smoke rubber - an insanely whimsical shoe in a gorgeous neutral palette. Other features include an adjustable slingback strap and peep-toe opening.

Comes in a lovely pearly blue colour too.....

I love her look - Brigitte Bardot

Taylor Momsen rocks up to New Look

Taylor Momsen, her of Gossip Girl is the latest celeb to strut her stuff in front of the camera for high street favourite and shoe grotto heaven New Look.

Currently pretty hot property in the fashion world Taylor "was very involved with the styling of the shoot with the result that her personality came through in each of the looks. She loved the clothes and took armfuls home."

Lucky girl.

I particularly love the checked shirt/tshirt dress combo as Ive been searching the shops lately for one of my own, they are all too short/too smockish tho....so the hunt continues.

Supermodels strip for LOVE

Model Kate Moss joins a gaggle of supermodels who've stripped off for eight different covers of LOVE magazine.

LOVE editor, Katie Brand said: "For this issue of LOVE, we took eight women who are generally acknowledged as the most beautiful in the world, got them to show off their bodies - widely regarded as the most perfect in the world - and photographed them all in exactly the same position for the cover."

"We did this to show how much they differed physically from one another, which is why we also printed their measurements."

"The point is that 'perfection' is not fixed, timeless or transcendent. It varies, as the measurements of our cover girls show."

Check out a selection of the images below.

The new issue of LOVE is on sale now.
