Stuff I Love: Bex Rox

I am an absolutely massive fan of Bex Rox jewellery when it comes to getting my bling on! You can add a piece (or 3) to any outfit and it almost completely lifts my mood by at least 10%. So, guess what kids?? Yup....Loves it ;) These are a few of my favourite things:

Bex Rox: ruby antelope ring

Bex Rox: art deco cuff

Bex Rox: Elephant bracelet

Monday Loves It: Double Gold Chain and Vintage Hoop Earrings

Absolutely LOVED everything about this photoshoot featuring Racquel Zimmerman in the June issue of Vogue. Perfect styling. 

Label I Love: minimarket

As if I need another reason to add to my list of why I want to visit Sweden ... My most recent discovery is Swedish brand minimarket. I especially love the way they have styled their Spring Summer 2011 lookbook. They do a great line in accessories too. Urban Outfitters in America has already cottoned on and bought up some of the collection, so hopefully London will follow suit. If not ... anyone want to buy me a plane ticket???

Tuesday: Object of Desire

Put a spring in your stomp ... with this reinvention of the classic Dr Marten with a pretty Liberty print. Wear with denim, leather, silk, lace ... anything goes! Loves it.

90s Revival: 'Nice Stems'

I have already been predicting a full-scale 90s revival here for a few months now ... and I want to remember the movie which captured the decade's penchant for preppy peppiness to perfection: Clueless (obvi!). From collar shirts, to knee high socks (set to the soundtrack of The Cranberries), the film definitively captured a sartorial moment in time.  

One of my favourite scenes in the entire film is when the camera pans in on Cher's perfect pins and white t-bar mary janes.

Violet Darkling

My latest discovery is jewelery designer Violet Darkling. New Zealand designer Louisa Richwhite has fused the concepts of delicate jewelery with her love of the nocturnal and creatures only seen at night, using a mix of gold, silver and gemstones to create pieces which are beautifully handcrafted and extremely eye catching. Loves it!!!

French Fancy Number 6: Delphine Delafon

A recent discovery of mine from a weekend trip to Paris: these perfect summer bags by designer Delphine Delafon. Combining the nonchalant elegance of a luxe-rucksack with something more special: each bag is made to measure by the designer and you can personalise your bag by choosing the materials you want for the bag and the chain. Loves it! 

I Love Your Work, Harri Peccinotti

Below are some of my favourite images by uber-legendary photographer Harri Peccinotti. I don't know why, but they feel really relevant for right now. Maybe it is the bright colours in these particular pictures; or perhaps it is the exuberant celebration of les femmes fatales. Harri Peccinotti is famous for his graphic explorations of the female form, and he is undoubtedly an inspiration to designers and photographers, including Tom Ford and Terry Richardson, who love women for their femininity. 

Harri Peccinotti is someone I would love to meet - I bet he has some great stories under his beard!!
