1. Pamela Love jewellery for Zac Posen

Pamela Love’s romantic-macabre-gothic Alice in Wonderland jewellery collaboration with Posen is delightfully curious. The collection line-up includes headbands, belts, and earrings, brooches bedecked with irises, rose buds, leaves and unexpected jarring spike studs. It first made its debut in Zac Posen’s Autumn/Winter 2009 catwalk show left and had me hypnotised. Zac and Pamela’s muse for the jewellery is Alice in Wonderland. They could not have picked a better muse.

2. Yves Saint Laurent Spring Summer 2010 shoes

How much do I love these shoes? Let me count the ways…

I love the lines, adore its structure, and fell head over heels for its dark romance sensibilities. The wilted effect roses are truly epic.

3. Roland Mouret’s stellar selection for Net-A-Porter

Mouret, who is known for his structure, gave us the ‘Galaxy’ in his Spring/Summer 2006 collection. The design went on to be worn by many an A list celebrity and endearingly called the dress of the season. His ‘Moon’ design was just as popular. Now he has created a spectacular collection exclusively for Net-A-Porter.

The designs in a bold palette are aptly named the Rainbow collection. From ‘Isa’ an asymmetric turquoise mini dress with draped hips in a stretch silk gazar to the tangerine orange ‘Ostadar’ with a deep v neck to two piece designs like the rose pink ‘Ziad’ skirt suit. Each is as fabulous as the next. The question will not be whether to buy, the dilemma darling is which one.

4. Winter Accessories

Winter is the perfect excuse to stock up on the cutest accessories! From snoods, hand muffs, earmuffs to scarves there is a host of Winter warmers to chose from. I say spoil yourself rotten. One has to stay warm right? ;x)

 I’m off to obsess some more about these.
