The great Gatsby is leaving it’s print, again

Have you seen The Great Gatsby? I haven’t, or not yet. I will probably watch it on DVD. However, there is no need to have watched it to realise how much of an impact it’s had on the fashion industry.

You can check most retailers new ranges, they all have some of this great Gatsby mark. The film has had a real influence and I like it. It promotes a true fashion era that was the 1920’s. This period had flapper dresses, long gloves, hair bands and costume jewellery, pearl necklaces, such a classy and chic look.

You can obviously find costume jewellery on the cheap, notably from Accessorize which has a great and very affordable range. However, if you want truly stunning jewellery then go straight to Tiffany. Their Jazz Glamour range will amaze you by its simplicity.

These are my favourite pieces:

Reaching new highs

Comfort is key. That said, you cannot sacrifice style for comfort, or can you? I finally found out that it is not exclusive. I can give you the big secret….. it’s Kurt Geiger. Fashionable shoes, bang on trend and comfy! And it’s not all, they are affordable.

Here is my pick right now: party shoes and casual chic, both great with skinny jeans!

My favourite little Chanel number

Pink cute and so now! Chanel handbags are a treat and every woman’s dream. They however keep their best sellers year in year out. Their classic clap mini bag is one of them, especially their pink one. This little patent one is a true gem!

Polloni shoes give an edge to your office look

The summer is officially over. Therefore, it is time to put your nude patent heels back to where they now belong, either the loft or the bin. You can invest in a black pair for the winter, and should you do so, M&S is a reliable place to start your hunt.

Alternatively, you can decide to go for something edgier which will make you stand out from the rest of the office crowd by checking out http://www.pollini.com/eshop/home/ and investing in a pair of Polloni. They have a wide and uber-cool selection to suit all tastes and moods such as these little beauties:

Otherwise, they also do gorgeous heels for party girls and comfy boots for a chic country weekend look or a trip to your local coffee shop (of course Dish Cafe in Hampton Court) on a wet Sunday morning!

Aonie the must-have Italian jewelry

I am always on the hunt for something different, something bespoke, something that I will be the only one to wear. I do not like bumping into other ladies wearing the same outfit or same accessories as this makes you look common and not so original.

I was therefore very pleased when a friend introduced me to Aonie. She was wearing a pair of earnings from their recent collection and I fell in love with it. They have such classy, original and smart designs that you can wear in all circumstances. Their prices are reasonable too, a nice treat for a friend or yourself!

I definitely recommend you visit their website: http://www.aonie.it/?lang=en

Nat et Nin bags – the new Paris craze

I wrote before on Nat and Nin handbags. They have been very popular in France with the boho crowd and continue to be. Their popularity is growing to the point where they are now having private sales, also known in the French jargon as Ventes Privees.

Despite their growing popularity, rumour has it that the quality of the finish is not as good as it was once. We can only hope this is a temporary glitch that they are addressing and sorting out.

No matter what, the Nat et Nin handbags are still worth hunting and fighting for, especially as their website and e-store is super friendly! So you can get your hands on their new collection first!
