GOLD JEWELLERY WITH A HINT OF NATURE!

I Love a Lassie - Knotted String collection - Knotted Rings I Love a Lassie - Rose Thorn collection - Necklaces and Studs

Nothing goes better with summer bronzed skin than gold jewellery and I Love A Lassie has some great nature inspired pieces. The handcrafted collection, designed by Arlene Katorza is centred on simple tokens that make you smile: the string Grannie tied round her finger as a reminder; a fragment of antique lace; an original bawbee coin; a long-lost cameo; a jaggy rose-thorn from a traditional Scottish garden and some intriguing contents from an old bird’s nest discovered on a woodland walk.

The collections are full of precious tokens in the form of necklaces, earrings, bracelets, rings and cufflinks.  Each design is cast in solid sterling silver and offered in additional finishes of 18ct yellow gold vermeil, 18ct rose gold vermeil and black rhodium.

Choose from great dramatic statement pieces or a selection of smaller items designed to be layered together for a more personalised look.

French Connection have unveiled the new campaign for AW14. The campaign centres around the world of magic and illusion, featuring boundary-pushing magician Troy (featured on Channel 4 and E4) and Camilla Christensen. Working closely with French Connection and Rankin, Troy explores new, bespoke tricks and stunts with the help of the new season collection.

Reworking and updating traditional tricks, Troy brings a modern, fresh approach to magic. In a similar way, the collection too sees a shift to more modern dressing with a focus on sharp separates and easy transitional looks which can effortlessly be worn from work to weekend.

If you were asked what the most mentioned brand was on Sex and the City, what would you say? We all shouted “Manolo Blahnik of course! Duh!!!” Well, artist Pierre Buttin has created a video montage of all the brand plugs in the well loved iconic series and revealed the top ten brand mentions which are:

1. Vogue (36 times)
2. Martini (34 times)
3. Yankees (26 times)
4. Knicks (25 times)
5. New York Times (24 times)
6. Manolo Blahnik (16 times)
7. Dolce & Gabbana (15 times)
8. Prada, Post-it (14 times each)
9. Chanel (13 times)
10. Gucci (12 times)

Carrie did say Vogue fed her more, which should explain the mag taking the top spot. Top fashion mention was of course Manolo Blahnik which was beaten out by Martini, Yankees, Knicks, and the New York Times!
