Love Jones

I was at a loss but you chose for me...

I present to you my newest love BIBA-108B. If you still have yet to check out the SS11 offering from the mad talent that is Raphael Young, I suggest you make a detour immediately. He has also been given the Net-A-Porter nod; he is one of the new names they are carrying this season.

I think hubby captured the Nappa Iron Blue beautifully do you not think. Can I say merci beaucoup to the darling Melody from Raphael Young for the complimentary leather purse which I truly adore and the beautiful bunch of yellow roses which were a perfect surprise. As of now I am a devoted Raphael Young brand ambassador.

BIBA-108

The weekend was spent holed up with my hubby and daughter. I ate way too many cream cheese & strawberry jam filled bagels and tried, in vain, to stay away from the Raphael Young e-store all because I cannot make a decision between BLUE or BLACK...Which would you choose?

I did as much homework for school as my attention span could endure (give the girl a cookie) and spent an age collating the entries so far for the Give-Away. Needless to say, spreadsheet is now my new best friend. Your name is down, right?!

I posted phone images of this outfit on Twitter a couple of weeks ago and had a couple of requests for 'proper' pics which I finally saw to. Here I am wearing Zara Pants / Zara blazer / Appeali top / Storets shoes.

I will finish by saying that my heart goes out to all in Japan and I hope the country begins to find its feet soon after such a horrific disaster.To my readers that reside or have family and friends out there, my thought and prayers to you Xx

Super excited. Why? No, not because I have the nuance to carry off a turban on my head without feeling/looking like a total pleb (I am having a really bad hair week) nor is it because my Lita's have finally arrived, 2 months later and with a ridiculous customs charge attached.

I am off to Paris in less than 48hrs for a long weekend with my hubby. I have never been before but already I can imagine the giddiness that will swarm over me as I set foot into major lure Raphael Young's flag-ship Paris store. Kill me now! Ad if I am really really really good I might, just might, convince a certain person that what I really need in my life (say it after me) is another pair of shoes...
