furry pom poms feathers and sequins

There's something about this time of year which makes me throw on feathers, fur, sequins, pom poms and glitter. All together. Yep. I spied these pom pom clip-ons by Cheeky Poppins (would make a great gift), these naughty jumpers, a sequin mini, an embellished clutch, some fluff (as worn above by Lucy) and I am hunting down this midnight blue gilet/vest... 

h&m sequined out

Sorry for the late post this week, I've been at a wedding in Switzerland, a lot of fun, I will post pics soon. Now you may look at these and think ridiculous….but honestly they are great. Add a baggy jumper or t-shirt and they can look brilliant, plus you could add a blazer for a party…and all for only 39.95 USD, sold out in store but still available online x

happy christmas...

I am hibernating in deepest darkest Surrey

...I will be instagraming pretty things as secretstylist...

Wishing you have a very Happy Christmas and a rocking 2012!

secretstylist christmas gift guide...part two...patsy

Everyone loves Patsy (by the way, I cannot wait for the Christmas special). Completely nutty and definitely naughty, she's not shy and loves anything that sparkles and often causes a stir with her wardrobe. It is soooooo easy to buy for her this season, try...

a Jimmy Choo coffee cup holder, of course (Net-A-Porter)
a little bit of Liz...a serious 1950s vintage sparkler (Atelier Meyer)
make-up designed by Daphne Guinness herself (Mac - launches 26 Dec)
a rock n' roll ring (Melissa Lo)
Army gold (DAY Birger et Mikkelsen at The Outnet)
a very subtle, sparkly jumper (Discopony at Chictopia)
an equally subtle bracelet (C Wonder)

a bling cape (Love Moschino at My-Wardrobe)

making her chat more with this mystic pendant (Marijoli)

racy lacy trousers (Zara)

dalmatian print loafers to run between parties in (Topshop)

secretstylist christmas gift guide...part one...tallulah

Just humour me on the names. I've created three Christmas gift guides which you can forward on to boys, brothers, fathers, lovers, friends and mothers...

First up is Tallulah, she loves to travel. She would rather spend her money on a flight to a far flung country than a new pair of shoes. She thinks Prada is a flesh eating fish. Make her throw away those revolting half zip trousers and inject some glamour into her rucksack with....

a cosy scarf for long plane and train journeys (Charlotte Taylor at YBD or Anthropologie)

a cross-body suede bag (Meli Melo at Young British Designers)

a new peacock bikini from We are Handsome (Barneys NY or Net-A-Porter)

rocking boots she can wear anywhere (Zadig & Voltaire)

a stylish ipad cover to wow the hostel dwellers (J.Crew)

a blush dress she can wear to parties (Elizabeth & James at The Outnet)

a beautiful book to inspire her (Assouline)

a leopard print dress for the beach bar (Zimmerman at Net-A-Porter)

Moroccan style earrings to wear endlessly (KJ's Laundry)

 

new york jewellery designer nugaard in hong kong

I'm compiling a Christmas gift guide for boys at the moment. I've been emailed by so many frantic hubbies who need to buy the wiff something hot. Honestly. Before that gem arrives check out these leafy jewels from New York designer Nugaard. Currently selling in Polkadot Boutique in Hong Kong for a limited time only (until Monday in fact...). If you're in New York or London you can find them in Anthropologie, and similar styles in Soho and the Union Square Holiday Market (NYC). 

mooskins...the perfect christmas gift

New York is full of rather attractive girls. About  1 million of them, and 70% are single. I need to keep tabs on the Husband. I've found the ideal solution in the form of a personalised iPhone cover...with a photo of me on it. Naturally. He was thrilled. Check out this UK company, Mooskins, which does just that...choose your own photo or put the lovely Cliff on there. Hilarious. The perfect Christmas gift?

hong kong christmas sales: 10+ pop-up store

There are so many to choose from. I'd just pick this one. I love all the designers (Madeleine Thomspon, Flaunt, nude is rude, niin, Marielle Byworth and more...) plus we love The Space. I'm off on a little holiday now (yes bloggers can take time off) so keep warm, don't be naughty and see you soon x

online shopping....male grooming

Having watched a lot of men running the New York marathon yesterday (well done Ed and Tim!) I decided to post on male grooming. A little bird told me about Niven & Joshua which was launched by two friends of his from his days at Leeds uni. They stock the best of the best grooming products, ship everywhere and have an award-winning blog Ape to Gentleman. A great site for presents me thinks. Now for a picture of Clive...who, with the right grooming products (plus low lighting and a squint) could appear in a bed next to you very soon...

He's thinking about moisturiser

Oooooooo Clive
