Michabella Delight! | April 22, 2010

Most people by now know that I have a huge obsession with statement jewellery. It’s pretty serious. I can never seem to get enough of it. I’ve written about my love for them, and even created a video showing others how to wear it so they may join in my delight. I find statement pieces to be endlessly versatile in that they instantly dress an outfit up or down – giving you attitude and/or elegance.

So naturally, I must share with you any delicious finds that come my way!

This time, designer Michelle Harvey has caught my eye. Her company, “Michabella Creations” … Read More »

Feathered | October 19, 2009

This season is all about 40’s glamour with a twist of rock. Most of the clothing that came off the runways is feminine, elegant and in deep colours that reminisce of the “old world”.

I’m so excited about this trend, because one of my favourite movies is the classic, “My Fair … Read More »
