All Things Original

Monday, January 7th, 2008

anythingoriginalpurse.jpgAll Thing Original is a fab new online shop that stocks a great selection of unique creative gifts from independent British designers and they cater for all budgets!! They have products from accessories to bags and knitwear to art & design – it’s a great collection.

Whilst browsing through the vast collection I found myself being drawn to this beautiful and delicate Apple Blossom purse priced £49.50. It’s a true representation of everything this site has to offer and it’s just up my street – I love it!! It’s elegantly made with a watercolour blossom motif printed on the front. The blossom also boasts satin stitch with beads that are embellished to the pattern. It also claims to be deceivingly spacious inside which is always a bonus for me – I’m forever trying to unsuccessfully jam everything into my tiny clutches, so the more space the better!!

I would recommend this site to anyone who loves original pieces. It will definitely be first port of call when I need to find a gift for someone special. Simply log on to www.allthingsoriginal.com and have a look for yourself.

Louboutin 'It' Shoe

Thursday, January 3rd, 2008

itshoe.jpgFamous designer Christian Louboutin has found themselves in competition with the high street. The design based around their patent lace-ups is going down a treat on the street!!

I love this new look and think that lace-up shoes are a great alternative to ankle and shoe boots. If like me you’re a little conscious of your bigger calves, you will find the lace up design really flattering because they won’t cut your legs off. If you wanted to add some extra length then they would look stunning with black tights or skinny trousers.

You can also use the look to create a perfect rock chic trend – just add jeans and a leather bomber. If you’re more of a girly girl then these patents look just the ticket in a pretty frock. So to have the perfect comfort feeling all day, make sure you double bow them so you have the support to last all day and then in to the evening!!

My favourite pair of patent lace ups has to be these stunners from Miss Selfridge. They are just £35.00 and are everything you need to hit the town. They can be found in store or bought on line.

The Zip Code

Wednesday, January 2nd, 2008

zipcoat.jpgThis season is all about showing off your zips and being part of the Zip Code!!

This latest trend is all about looking tough and hardware is the key. Get your hands on biker jackets with metal zip pockets and zip-up shapeless shifts. Apparently chunky metal and bright zips are the most effective, whether it be boots, jackets or even a hardwear clutch. The usually concealed zip needs to be on show so bold colours and black set it off well.

I’ve managed to find this fab Black Shearling Zip coat from Wallis. It’s a mock sheepskin effect with a funnel neck and zip fastening. Best of all it’s been reduced half price in the good old January sale so you could be zipping up for just £35.00. Buy online or in store.

Snowjoggers

Wednesday, January 2nd, 2008

snowjoggers.JPGThere’s a great new boot in town girls that goes by the name of Snowjoggers. Straight from Hollywood with Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan pioneering the trend, this new fancy footwear has been doing the celebrity circuit.

The Snowjogger is now known as the equivalent of the oversized bag with the padding making your legs look skinny – sounds good to me! Oh and they are also practical for winter too!! These fab boots have incorporated a retro snow boot style with a training shoe sole. The perfect answer to a dry, warm winter.

You can find these little booties in a variety of colours and materials and are all shearling lined. They are around £69.99 and are available online from www.rubbersole.co.uk.
