Swarovski Elements Jawaher Launch

Swarovski are the pioneering brand that like to evolve. Whether it be supplying decoration for designer footwear or bringing out the latest desirable jewellery, Swarovski are above the rest when it comes to creating something new and their latest venture is no exception. 
Swarovski have joined forces with other top designers to create decorative Abayas and other pieces that will make the wearer feel special and unique.  There are many different ways that Arabian Women like to dress, whether it be traditionally or more contemporary so with this in mind, Swarovski have many different outfits in different colours and styles to suit all wearers, young or old.  The outfits created are made with so much love and care and the quality is very much apparent in all the options available.
I attended the launch of this new venture and when I saw the models wearing the designs, they looked extremely sexy and elegant. The way they moved gave-off an air of grace and femininity that jeans and trainers could never do. It just shows us that women don't need to wear revealing clothing to be seen as sexy.  Confidence and that air of mystery can be so much more appealing to men regardless of religion or belief.

Forward PR Press Event at the Savoy


The lovely Forward PR invited me to their press event at the Savoy hotel. The luxury hotel with the beautiful rooms were a perfect setting for Forward to showcase the brands that they are presenting.


Rebecca Cella's latest line is perfect for the Winter party season. With her Made-to-Measure service that beautiful dress for New years eve or for that Office party can be unique and make the wearer feel like it was designed especially for them. Sequins, glittered lurex and feathers are a featured on the designers collection to add to that glamour you would want for a special outfit and with Bridal wear also available, Rebecca's collection has everything a girl could want.



Magenta 8's designer Giovanna Velasquez has created a new Humming bird collection featuring beautiful lining with illustrated humming birds by Vicky Murdoch. The collection features coats, jackets, capes and boleros that Magenta 8 specialises in. With the hummingbird print above being a favorite, this collection is bound to be popular for accessory to top off an outfit.





Ciel are the ethical and environmental friendly label that creates beautiful fashion and awareness for the fashion driven customer. With vibrate prints, creative jerseys and cosy knitwear, Ciel has winter all wrapped up for their customers. The brand also have lingerie selection including the Liberty art print knickers and organic cotton nightwear which is great for Christmas gift ideas. One of the unique pieces that caught my eye was the blue sea print dress, beautiful and would be wonderful as an evening dress or as your summer dress.







Kimono's are a beautifully crafted item that have been on/off trend for years. Beautiful soul specialise in taking vintage Kimono's and re-styling them to one-off pieces that are unique in every way. As well as the one-offs, the brand have also taken inspiration from the patterns and prints featured on their ancient robes and made a great collection of jackets, dresses, blouses and corsets for women and new Blazers have now been designed for the male market also. With inspiration prints in the lining of the men's jackets, these are set to be a big hit among any trend setters.
My favorite piece was the cropped wipe sleeve jacket above which I have defiantly fallen in love with.
Beautiful soul have recently made a piece for Laura Bailey proving that this label is one to watch.

Over all there were some amazing labels on Forward's Press Day.  With great orignal product and talented designers, these brands are ones to watch as the future is definantly bright with them. 

Jaeger Black Event @ Regent Street Store

As a fashionite who loves her previews and shows, I hot footed it down to the Jaeger store on Regent Street as there, the store was hosting a preview of the new Jaeger Black collection and it had to be seen.
The AW catwalk looks were chic, tailored and great for the new winter and party seasons ahead. Out of the outfits the black lace dress and the black satin crepe biker dress were the key party season pieces while Gold button peg trousers and the fishnet ruffle blouse were some key items that would be great for the office and drinks after work. The Jaeger Black line in all was a very classy and smart collection with a nice hint of sexy for that is never too over the top.


As a huge fan of Jaeger and as I am the owner of the famous Tilly bag I am very keen to see what goodies Jaeger have at their fashion press event that I could be carrying for London and Paris Fashion week.

After the show guests had the chance to have a make over from Sisley so I had Pierre, one of the international make-up artists do mine for me and the results were amazing.
I received a goodie bag after my make over which had some lovely treats from Sisley and after my lovely Make over they definitely have a new fan!

Caritaz Clover Necklace! On my wish list!

The lovely and giving people at Caritaz have some amazing silver jewellery that is beneficial for the wearer(as so lovely to look at) and for the chosen Charity that Caritaz will donate 25% of the sales to!
As I only ever wear silver jewellery, the Clover necklace is on my hot list to wear for the up and coming party season. Would also be great for a lovely Christmas stocking filler and should be on every girls list to Santa! The Necklace is based on the Sex and the City 2 necklace that Carrie wore in the movie(another reason why I swoon). 
With the stunning Swarovski Crystals, you get something beautiful you will treasure and help a Charity at the same time!
Sounds like a winner to me!


More exciting News! Caritaz will be on Bunnihutch shop soon so stay tuned to that!
