Come On Eileen

Come On Eileen

fashion style    4:59 AM   

The minute I laid eyes on these Eileen bangles by Amrita Singh, I was smitten - they are stunning. I get the feeling that there are so many stories hidden in these bangles: perhaps bought when visiting a bustling Indian market, or a luxury boutique in Thailand. Or maybe, an unexpected gift from a relative in Morocco, or a friend in Hawaii. In these bangles you will find all sorts of possibilities - there's a story for every woman.

When I look at the gold and bright colours, my mind is taken to a hot place of paradise, where the air smells of sea salt and coconut, and exotic birds sing from the palm trees. I would wear my bangles all day on the beach, adding a touch of glamour to a bikini, kaftan and sandals, and I wouldn't take them off all day - these bangles will easily work for evening too. Teamed with a silk maxi dress and surf-spray hair, the look would be natural, effortless and elegant.  

A trip to paradise isn't on the cards right now, but these bangles definitely are.

29 Dresses (And Counting)

29 Dresses (And Counting)

As you know already, I'm a huge fan of Dia Boutique, and the gorgeous limited edition dresses by Karen Karam are to die for. My favourites are the Ink Blue Sweetheart Dress (£170.66) and the Ruffle Back Dress (£175.87). The Sweetheart dress is so girly and feminine, but the dark, inky blue gives it a modern edge, while the Ruffle Back dress is simple and chic at first glance, with a surprise waterfall of ruffles down the back. I think I have 29 dresses in my wardrobe already...what's another couple?
