I don’t know what’s wrong with me at the moment but I’m really getting inspired by some beautiful interiors and fantastic furniture and wanted to share with you the wonderful things I’ve found. I adore Danish fashion! I don’t know why but I just love the simple shapes, beautiful prints and great quality. Marlene Birger is a fantastic designer and I just love the prints she produces so you can imagine my excitement when I stumbled across these beautiful shots of her home! Take a look and let me know what you think.
I can’t help be inspired and it sent my mind on a whirlwind of ideas to use and impliment into my own home. I don’t know about you but I struggle finding unique furniture too. I love Phillipe Stark and his organic designs but I wanted to be resourceful and recycle. Well look what I also found!! Recycled furniture made even more beautiful with the clever use of wallpaper and a good quality paint!! Bryonie Porter has produced some beautiful furniture by recycling old pieces. Recycling, eco friendly and beautiful!!
I’m inspired, what about you??

White can be tricky to pull off head to toe so why not team it with this season’s nude. Keep the silhouette simple, adding touches of nude. I love Donna Karan’s draped dresses with a white tailored jacket or Bottega Veneta’s white vest and corset details! Take a look at ‘Breeanne’ below, it has touches of nude embroidery, wear with nude leggings, on or off the shoulder!!
How to wear it:
*mix textures, a stiff cotton jacket will set off a softly draped dress
*wear white over your slimmer parts; nude will flatter the rest
*for accessories think arm cuffs, strong necklaces and perspex bangles
Finish with polished, soft curls, use hot rollers for full on glamour. Shoes are best in muted colours, but go as high as you dare!!

NICOLE RICHIE was feeling slightly overwhelmed at the Selfridges launch of her fashion label Winter Kate this week – understandably so, since the reception to it so far has been phenomenal, with 3000 people turning up to meet her when she launched it at Galleries Lafayette, in Paris.
“I’m really happy with how it’s going,” said Richie. “The collection is inspired by the Sixties and Seventies – I’m a big fan of that era; the music as well as the clothes – and I like the idea that clashing, in prints and colours, just didn’t exist then! It’s also inspired by the kind of clothes I like to wear. I think in summer especially, when it’s hot, you just want clothes to be loose and easy. I wouldn’t design something I wouldn’t be happy to wear.”
The designer – who was sporting her new engagement ring along with a Winter Kate floaty top, skinny jeans, ankle boots and trademark floppy hat – admits she does find the media obsession with what stars wear in their everyday lives “a little bizarre” but insists it doesn’t impact the way she dresses.
“I’m just really busy, you know?” she smiled. “My kids are two, and five months, and I’m working a lot as well as looking after them. I don’t have a lot of time to think about what I’m wearing. It’s funny because if they looked closer they’d see I’d probably been wearing the same jeans and tank top for the past four days, just with a different layer over the top.”

Blue:
Explore fashion’s new obsession with deep blue, in every shade from the hottest lapis to the darkest navy. Ruffles, pleats and embellishment, mixed with bold tribal-inspired jewellery, bring depth, daring and dynamism to springs coolest hue. ‘Parillai’ has the tribal print with the lux of silk, team with toe posts for a great holiday outfit.
How to wear it:
*give luxe pieces a primal edge with a tribal collar
*midnight blue takes on a yet darker allure with the sexiest sky high shoe boots
Finish it with our over the shoulder pouch bag by Mimi Berry in Cloud Blue, or even a scarf tied nonchalantly around your hair to protect it from the hot sun on holiday. (you could add conditioner in the day and hide your hair under the scarf, hey presto beautiful shiny locks at night!!)

While there are loads of spring trends we cannot wait to explore (extreme wedges, and digital prints, oh my!) we couldn’t help but notice that some of our most-watched dressers have been venturing off into exotic territory and wearing a trend that we have affectionately termed Asian Fusion fashion. Though some of these pieces seem like they could be souvenirs from a trip to the Far East, the current iteration of this look is actually anchored in the American and European fashion communities. Specifically, the style sprung from talents like Marc Jacobs and the inimitable Vivienne Westwood, both of whom sent brilliant brocades, deft draped garments, and gloriously printed pieces down their S/S 10 runways.
Check out our very own Asian Headdress pictured below:
We wanted to dole out a few pointers on how to wear these eclectic and decorative styles. While Marc Jacobs and Vivienne Westwood’s runway shows offered extreme head-to-toe looks (the Kabuki makeup on the models certainly adds to the theatrical aura), we particularly like the fresh way these four fashion-philes are wearing these Asian-influenced pieces. By mixing a cheongsam-style top or a kimono-sleeve jacket with closet staples like silk harem pants, jeans, or chic winter shorts, these pieces are getting decidedly modern fashion cred.

Scorching shades of red stormed the catwalks this season, drenching S/S10′s most covetable pieces with hues of vermilion, raspberry and coral. Dive in with bright, clashing accessories and just a touch of contrasting black for a look that’s bold, brilliant and bursting with power!! Have a look at our ‘Gypsy05′ organic cotton maxi dresses that are made in a solar powered factory in downtown LA!!
Lauren Conrad of ‘The Hills’, pictured here, has it in every colour! Want to look like a goddess??? You will in this dress, it’s gorgeous and good to the planet too. (Also available in yellow and shades of grey)
How to wear it:
*romantic ruffles and soft draping jersey add texture
*highlight searing flashes of scarlet with accessories in fun clashing colours or warm with luxe gold
*pair a long dress with a contrasting jacket for simple evening elegance.
Finish with a clash of colour with a sequin clutch (Check out Accessorize for them), add a bold gold tribal collar or cuff!! Bright red lipstick would be too heavy, go for a red lip gloss instead!!

Mimi was founded in 2001 by London based designer Mimi Berry. The original Mimi store is situated on Cheshire Street (just off Brick Lane) and is home to Berry’s studio where the entire Mimi collection is designed and housed.
A graduate of Central Saint Martins, and regular exhibitor at London Fashion Week, Berry has acquired an international reputation for her commitment to classic craftsmanship and stylish understated design. The Mimi store with its wooden floors, gilded mirrors, traditional English haberdashery cabinets and industrial light fittings, is an eclectic feast for the eye and a treat for any handbag collector.
Each season Mimi launches a new collection for both men and women, which includes everything from sleek weekend bags, sturdy satchels and gorgeous clutch bags, to a diverse selection of ladies leather purses. The range uses beautiful colors throughout, including scarlet reds, yellows, rich browns and bright metallics. All Mimi pieces are made from exquisite Italian leather and are manufactured in the United Kingdom to ensure the highest production quality and ethical standards.
Mimi sells in select boutiques in London, the UK and Europe, as well as internationally in the US, Japan and Australia.
In 2007 Berry was commissioned by Tate Britain to design a unique collection of leather bags, purses and cardholders to be sold exclusively at Tate shops. The Mimi For Tate collaboration was so successful that the range remains ongoing with new styles launched seasonally.
