Christmas Treats

Tabitha and I decided to finish off our Christmas food shopping today and found some amazing Christmas treats! 

 We definitely want one of these Make Your Own Chocolate House Kit for £14.95 from Harrods. 

 How girly are these Fairy Princess Biscuits for £30 from Harrods. 

We love how this cake even includes a pond! Fun In The Snow Cake for £25 at M&S. 

For some small treats to share these Mini Delights Box for £25 at The Hummingbird Bakery will go down a treat.

How cute is this Snowman Doughnut at Krispy Kreme with it's little carrot nose! 

Our favorite is this adorable Gingerbread Man Cookie Jar for £14.99 at Oldest Sweet Shop. Even though it's not edible it's cute enough to be! 

iHeart Studios

Yesterday we went to the iHeart Studios event at the Biscuit Factory hosted by Zandra Rhodes. The event was in the middle of no where and we was kept waiting outside as the event was not organised to start on time. 

Once we got into the event we still did not have any idea of what was actually happening or what it was even about as we was waiting in an empty room.

This soon changed when we walked into the event and was amazed with what we saw. The whole atmosphere was Christmassy, foggy surrounding with fake snow machine.  

Free candy floss was being handed out from this retro candy floss cart, which was extremely cute. 

Below is the fake snow setting which made it feel like it was actually snowing. 

There was a range of free alcoholic beverages available to have with no limit. 

Free popcorn was being handed out from this retro popcorn maker machine too. 

And there was even an indoors ice-skating rink available that completed the event with a Christmas feeling.

They also provided a photo-booth with props which kept us entertained and amused. 

We really enjoyed this event once we got in and was impressed with the night as we thoroughly enjoyed it.

Ligature White Shoot

I’m in love with this white shoot it’s really intriguing how the bareness of colour works so well with the mixture of different textures, it’s a shoot that definitely caught my eye.

The headpiece used in this shoot from American Apparel is gorgeous.

Another piece I love is how the maxi dress from BasharatyanV has been worn underneath as part of the layering, yet it’s so strong it comes across as a main part of the outfit. The clear plastic top is also a favourite of mine and so on trend.

Fashions Night Out

On Tuesday me and Tullulah took a visit to Fashions Night Out, after receiving an invitation to the event. It was apparently going to involve loads of designers, a free drink on arrival etc. Yet to our disappointment the whole event was actually a scam.

When we arrived at the event we were shocked how cramped the room was. All the designers could not fit in which resulted into many of them being left on the street. After standing around for a while we were asked to come back later as they still was not ready for visitors.

When we returned to the event, we discovered that a majority of designers had left as the organizer had not payed for the venue. Resulting in it having to be closed.

We talked to a couple of the designers who had told us they had traveled quite far from places such as Reading.

All around disappointing evening for both attendees and designers.

Felicities Press Day

So in-between our catch up on LFW I am going to be writing about some of the press days that we have attended!

Last week Tabitha and I popped down to visit the girls at Felicities. They have lots of really amazing London based emerging designers and we loved seeing all of the new SS13 collections!

Please see some of our favorite pieces from the showroom below -

Eva from David Longshaw

David Longshaw was the first brand to catch our eye in the showroom. We loved the colourful prints featuring sandcastles and planes! David's latest characters to join Maude and Doris are Eva and Doug. You can see a super cute film about them HERE.

Imogen Belfield Jewellery 

We had spotted Imogen Belfield in Rock Vault this season and adored her pieces , so we were keen to get another close look at them! Imogen casts the pieces using porcelain which is then dipped into metal meaning that every piece is unique.Take a look at her website for more information and images HERE.

Beautiful Soul

Beautiful Soul is a very English ethical brand. The pieces that particularly stood out to us were the pink lace ones including this stunning trench coat above! The entire collection is really feminine and we loved the daisy prints. Also the girls at Felicities told us the designer Nicola has just opened her own online store, so many lovely things to buy - so be sure to check it out HERE.

Evmorfia

The Evmorfia SS13 collection is edgy and wearable, consisting of three colours - black, white and a salmon pink. We have come across Evmorfia before at Felicities and we are always in awe of her beautiful leather jackets. The one in the image above is our favourite so far! She also has some stunning evening dresses you can see more images of the collection HERE.

Vita Gottlieb

Vita Gottlieb is another new brand to Felicities. The collection is inspired by travel and alternative culture which you can really see through the pieces. The different textures of the pieces were amazing and I couldn't stop myself from touching the variety of beautiful fabrics. One of our favourite pieces was the shoulder piece in the image above which was stunning. See more images HERE.

Mr Woods

I am a massive fan of taxidermy so I was so excited to see the Mr Woods collection! Inspired by the Edwardian and 1920's era's Loren Wood creates stunning and unusual bespoke millinery. The piece in the image above is 'Keith' he is a bearded dragon sitting perfectly on a pearl silk hat with a silk lining. Mr Woods has to main collections - Firstly 'Hardy' which has quintessentially English feel and includes wood pigeons and hares. Secondly 'Epoque' which is the Edwardian inspired collection featuring exotic birds, tassels, beadwork and silk. See more pieces HERE.

This stunning horse ring is apparently a replica of the original ' Black Sapphire Horse' which is a rhodium plated, silver engraved ring with black sapphire eyes! Some of our other favourite pieces were the Minotaur and Rosie Skull Rings! See more information HERE.

The new Alchemy collection consists casts of a bird skull (that we were informed the designer found on a country walk) that have been made into stunning double rings, bangles and pendants. My favourite was the double skull pendant in black rhodium and rose gold! See more images HERE.
