Siam Silver

I'm sure I inherited my love for jewellery from my mother, who always had stacks of rings on her fingers and piles of silver bangles on her wrists, and those heavy gold earrings layered up on three at at a time back in the 90s!

While her love of heavy gold bling may have dissipated over the years, she still loves her silver and has amassed a collection of real beauties. To that end, she spent time earlier this year travelling to the far East to find the best silver craftspeople. Having selected a beautiful assortment of sterling silver jewellery, she set up Siam Silver a gorgeous selection of fine silver bangles, and earrings. I love them all and am almost never without my Ondine and Rondelle bangles!

Day by Day with Au Jour la Jour

"Quand on a été tourmenté, bien fatigué par sa propre sensibilité,

on s´apercoit qu´ il faut vivre au jour le jour, oublier beaucoup,

enfin éponger la vie à mesure qu´elle s´écoule".

Samuel Beckett via Au Jour la Jour

The ethos of Italian design duo Mirko Fontana and Diego Marquez's brand Au Jour la Jour (Day by Day in English) to live life to the full day by day is inherently apparent in their bold prints and vibrant colours. The images below are from their Pre Fall 2013. For me, I love that they remind us that first and foremost, fashion should be FUN (or maybe flattering then fun...) so go ahead and say YES to a Panda printed sweater!

Vlisco: Hommage L'Art

For most Dutch wax printed cotton afficionado's Vlisco is one of the finest creators of wax printed cotton, producing fabrics that are both high in quality and fine in texture but also full of vibrant colours and bold eye-catching prints. Their collection Hommage L'Art draws on their century-old batik wax resist dying process as well as Java and wax-block printing  and features both classic and modern hand drawn motifs and designs. 'Read More' for some images from the collection.

Stella Jean 2013-2014

I had to share some looks from Haitian-Italian model-turned designer, Stella Jean's Spring 2013/Fall-Winter 2014 collections. It goes without saying that I LOVE her use of wax printed fabrics, but the styling, shapes, colour combinations and textures are what really blow me away. Style Crush.
