The work that goes into the above Swarovski crystal horse (named Lucky Spot by Stella’s late Mother) installation is immense.
According to New York Magazine’s Cut Blog, the crystal art piece which belongs to fashion designer, Stella McCartney, now hangs in her new New York boutique. It was previously on loan to the Belsay Castle in Northumberland.
Isn’t it awe inspiring that something so stunning could be made out of 8000 crystals individually hung on string?

The only boots you should be wearing this winter? The thigh high,what I affectionately like to call the thigh grazer.The women above clearly know how to make a pair work for variety of dress codes.
There is a host out there to suit a spectrum of tastes. Perforated? Stella McCartney has that covered and Rihanna has worn it. One part wader and all parts lust inducing? Miuccia Prada saw to it and Tolula smashed it with a furry pair of shorts.
The trick to keeping the thigh grazer out of ‘Pretty Woman hookersville’ territory is the sweet art of balance. Play with proportions.
Wearing mini lengths with a high heeled pair? Stay classy like Tolula by keeping the top loose fitting.
Make like Stella and gang by snagging a delish thigh grazer too. The fun part is there is one to suit each budget.
Purchase Topshop’s leather ‘Britany’ in cash for £100. Topshop’s yummy pair are great value for money. These are timeless. These you will wear over and over again. Throw it under a dress and a structured belted cardigan for the office. Or pair with a boyfriend blazer and slouchy micro shorts for night.
Write a cheque for the drool inducing Topshop Unique pair for £225. The heel on this baby is ferocious! Oh and did I mention the cut outs is the accentuated with elastic detailing?
Charge Stella McCartney’s faux leather pair to your credit card for £515. Stella how many ways do I love you? The wonderful faux leather,the do not mess with me gun metal heel. I could go on and on about its merits. I cannot finish counting the ways…
Happy Thigh Grazing!
