♥ Gilda & Pearl

I am loving lingerie line Gilda & Pearl. Their decadent designs are handmade in the UK and would make a fabulous Valentine’s Day gift. The below designs trump tops! I am enamoured by the ‘Blue Dahlia’ set in first image and adore ‘How to marry a millionaire’ set in image two. I think that is such a memorable name.

The Blue Dahlia set is priced at £72 for the pleated bra and £45 for the skirted knicker. The How to marry a Millionaire set is £65 for the bra and £39 for the bow knicker.

Shop the lingerie at Gilda & Pearl.

♥ Wendy Brandes

These above pieces by fine jeweler Brandes would make any girl very happy. The hefty sterling silver, heart shaped ‘Diana’ ring, is named after the late Diana, Princess of Wales. It was inspired by Diana’s efforts in the late 80′s towards to the AIDS cause.

The Diana ring is $450. It also comes in plain gold and a gold bedecked with diamonds options too. I am in love with the decadent Mignonette earrings too! They are $935.

Buy the pieces at Wendy Brandes.

♥ Duchess Marden

Roses have become synonymous with Valentine’s Day. Eco fabulous beauty product company, Duchess Marden uses the rose in it’s products, as it is known to have a positive impact on well-being.

Spoil yourself or a love one with the all natural luxury line’s Enzyme Exfoliatant. The soothing mask is great for tired skin at $44. I am forever spritzing myself with their Rose water. It is such a mood lifter! It is $40.

For Him // Part 1

Monday, January 25th, 2010

Leading up to Valentine’s Day I will be doing a series of gift posts with delish pressie ideas. There will ones for us ladies,make sure your guy sees these posts ;x)! Oh and off course,there will gift suggestion posts for the gents in our lives.

I start off this series with one for the boys.

Thomas Pink, known for their luxury tailoring, and perfectly crafted shirts, have a yummy piece or two that would be perfect for a gentleman. Here are a few suggestions.

Images from Thomas Pink

Top Row
Pink and Purple Macmillan Stripe Woven Men’s Tie £59- A tie says a lot about a man. This woven tie is utterly luxurious and pink and purple always work well together.

Pink Traveller Plain Men’s Shirt Button Cuff £49.00 -
This traditonal shirt with an English collar is super smart. The pale hue keeps the pink from being intimidating. The cut is timeless.

Second Row
Limited Edition Pink Panther Cufflinks £75 – I am enamoured with these cufflinks. It is a pair of Pink Panther cufflinks in solid silver featuring sweet swarovski crystal eyes.

Red Hexham Men’s Merino V Neck £89.00 - I love a yummy knit and the man in your life will love this too. This 100% Merino V neck is light, effortless but super stylish. This would look great on its own or beneath a blazer.

Third Row
Pink Double-Washed Casual ‘Aish’ Solid Men’s Button cuff Shirt £49.00 - I like that this informal shirt is the result of the label stone washing one of their fab favourites(Royal Oxford cotton) twice. So it’s a classic with a soft informal well worn feel. This would look wonderful with a great pair of jeans.

Abson Herringbone Men’s Boxer Shorts £20 - These luxurious boxers are in a soft to the touch herringbone twill. I heart when mundane everyday basics are given luxe twists.
