Keeping up with this seasons trend of stars, Topshop just introduced this shirt to their stores a few days ago. Could their inspiration have come from Kate Moss??

Birthday Night


Yesterday was my birthday and we went out to dinner for curry. Not just any curry, but posh curry! The Bombay Bicycle Club.

This was not your normal Indian restaurant. The food was delicious, the service was impeccable, and the atmosphere was beautiful. Sitting at our table we felt as if we were on a beach holiday. As a bonus, the waiters gave us champagne, liqueur, and dessert on the house. They even gave me a ’special’ birthday candle for the table.

If you love curry and love great food and service, then it is worth having dinner here. I plan on going back in the near future. Click on the link for The Bombay Bicycle Club’s website

Salvatore Ferragamo


The picture of Claudia Schiffer posted below at the Chanel couture fashion show reminds me of the recent Salvatore Ferragamo advertisements that she is in.

Farewell Valentino


Valentino Garavani walked down his last haute couture runway this week. The runway show in Paris was a spectacular event with a star studded audience. Valentino’s fashion house is one of the most famous in the world and even though he is retiring, the Valentino name and empire will still exist with a new design team. As the fashion legend took his final walk to a standing ovation, the audience was full of tears, but Valentino kept his cool. After 45 years of making fashion history, Valentino will greatly be missed, but I have a feeling this will not be the last we see of him and glamorous creations.

Out in London Town


Last night we went out to celebrate my cousin Erin Rose’s birthday. Even though we were running late, we decided to stop outside a store and admire a beautiful chaise lounge in the window.

We got to the restaurant, PJ’s Bar and Grill in South Kensington, realizing we were the first ones to arrive. Good thing, because I feel awful when I arrive somewhere late. After a few birthday drinks and some chit chat, we parted with the group and my love and I went out to dinner at The Little French Restaurant in Earl’s Court.

Outside the restaurant waiting for our table

On our way home, I noticed a house that I pass by every day, but never noticed the lights by the front door at night. Looks great, don’t you think?.

It was a lovely night. Happy birthday Erin Rose once again and I hope you had a great evening!

Mariah

Mariah Carey was photographed topless while vacationing in the Caribbean. Just wearing a black bikini bottom and a magazine carefully placed, I have to say, she has never looked better. Mariah doesn’t seem to be bothered having her picture taken either. Good for her!

The Orange Coat



Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany’s

(More to come on Audrey Hepburn. Will be posted soon)

Early autumn I bought a stylish orange coat from Zara. I was looking for one similar to Audrey Hepburn’s (my style icon) in Breakfast at Tiffany’s for a few years. It is a beautiful color that simply fits the season. The look is classy and sophisticated. Hubert de Givenchy is the genius who created the iconic coat for the movie in the 60’s, and ever since then, designers have been imitating and re-creating the trend.

Sweet Violet


Gianfranco Ferre and Alberta Ferretti

From lilac to plum, purple is taking over the runway this spring. The look is very romantic and feminine. Purple is the color to wear when you want to make a statement without being too bold. The color is being matched with satin and sheer fabrics for a soft and glamorous look.
