Online cravings: Malaga necklace

Some of us are just imagining, dreaming and “pinteresting”, but girls behind the fashion blog The Closet Clause shared their online cravings straight up – in the post.

Look at the fabulous colour palets of these items! I absolutely love Matthew Williamson’s blue clutch and Reed Krakoff’s Wedge Sandals, but no less than our own Malaga necklace.

The necklace is a combination of painting, braiding and hand-dying.

Definitely one of my favourites! Need to think of how can I get my neck on it! Majority of my brother’s necklaces are one-of-a-kind, therefore I can’t steel all of them. Plotting the plan….

Meanwhile if you want to grab it right from under my nose – check our website (soon to be redesigned to look prettier!) or our Boticca online store.

Bottega Veneta: love of colours

Bottega Veneta has been one of our favourite brands for quite a while. I always love walking into their store as you are greeted by the most amazing items in beautiful hues.

I am lusting after their shoes, bags, clothes and in fact want EVERYTHING.

Here are a few pieces from the most recent jewellery collection bursting with beautiful colours.

You can view entire collection of jewellery pieces by Bottega Veneta here.

Jimmy Choo: inspired by Iris Apfel

Continuing Iris Apfel topic…

By the way I have just realised that my latest Iris Apfel post was sitting in drafts forever and hasn’t been published…oh well, it is now.

So continuing the theme, Jimmy Choo has created a fabulous range of pieces named ‘Iris” after the lady herself.

There’s a high heel and a flat version as well as handbag to match the footwear.

I found quite a few bloggers saying that at her age she would never wear a stiletto, but who cares? The fact that her colourful personality is so inspirational must count for something.

The colourful Iris Apfel

Fashion icon, interior designer and style consultant Iris Apfel is an inspiration to my brother and his creations. And no wonder, I’m totally hooked too. I’m sure you’ll see why when you look at the pictures or read something about her.

According to Iris, who’s 90 now “I think you can be attractive at any age.“. If I manage to look as fabulous as her before I hit this age – fashion mission accomplished.

If you want to find out more, here’s a wonderful article that gives a peak into her ever so colourful and quirky apartment.

Skull Studs

Just received some pictures from my brother of skull stud earrings. I say they are gorgeous and rather edgy. Must start wearing earrings again…

The Luxury by Cartier

Have you seen this advertising by Cartier? I’m not sure what else to say except that I watched it several times already and each time I watch I get goose bumps.

Karl is on Facebook

It seems like quite a few of my recent posts been related to Chanel, but i can’t help it. The man is a genius.

And now with the launch of his own website Karl.com, it’s even bigger. You can shop, you can read, you can watch, you can listen… What I can’t do is close that website… I Love it. Oh and the picture about Karl L. being on Facebook – I just love how big fashion houses embrace digital technologies and social media. I LIKE.

Three Bad Mice found neck candies

Once upon a time…there were three sisters who set up a fabulous fashion blog. Oh and before I get into this…how cute is their picture?? ADORABLE!!

So back to what I was about to say. Just yesterday I caught up with “Confessions of a shopaholic” on BBCiplayer which coincided with this post by 3 Bad Mice. Both made me chuckle as one thing all of these ladies have in common (including myself) – a penchant for luxury with a restricted budget.

So it’s an absolute delight to see that some of these luxuries are necklaces by my brother. Venice necklace is one of my favourites and am lusting after that one myself. Hope you like it too….

You can see more of his fabulous, colourful creations in our Boticca boutique.
