Hot Eyeware : RockOptika

click for more styles and pictures

You know I love statement eyewear, I guess its the closest thing to framing your face, without literally attaching a guilded gold square to its circumference. Similar to the way the right frame can finish a work of art, the right glasses can polish your image. On the journey to discovering statement eyewear worth writing home about, I stumbled across Rock Optika.  classic yet revolutionary designer eye wear by RockOptika. Tom Herringdon, the man behind this breakthrough brand, launched RockOptika eye wear in Paris,following his years of experience behind big industry names. Designed for destinction , his frames are forged with the highest quality and made in Italy. Now what could be more chic. Perfect for those looking to add something new. You can find RockOptika right here in London at Wolf & Badger Notting Hill.

Well I was lucky enough to be one of the fabulous, fortunate enough to be found at Wolf and Badger's Full Bloom Party.

Set on a sunny afternoon their Full Bloom party was in full spring, drinks a flowing (some magical concoction of Briska cider, pepper, vanilla & vodka cocktails) with a fashionable crowd spilling on to the street... The DJ (Scott Le Rock) was spinning a perfect mix to lull your curiosity in to discover the collections of the new hot designers.Among the fresh meat, my personal was Bracher Emden, their statement embellished bags are the perfect addition to  any otherwise meek ensemble.
There are plenty more worth mentioning, but I'll let you discover- 46 Ledbury Road Notting Hill.

CRIMES AT CANNES ; FREIDA PINTO REPEAT OFFENDER

For all the head start that the beautiful Freida Pinto was given she still managed to somehow get it so wrong time and time again. Less is more, and these outfits suffered from a meltdown.

1.To put it simply the first look is just confused. The half up and half down draping is just odd and unflattering, the split up the leg does nothing for the dress & just adds to our dismay & bewilderment.

2. We can see what she was thinking with the striped skirt an crop top, but the wideness of the skirt coupled with where the skirt ends on the leg just makes her look odd and ultimately unflattering.

3.This girl does love her slits and its evident in this glittery yellow a symmetrical mess. The trick with wearing a slit is toning down other factors- as to retain the elegance. Her failure to do so results in all the factors conspiring against her to equal one hot mess.

Our verdict- she is a beautiful girl, but she either needs to fire her stylist or get one as none of these looks live up to her potential!

We say this with love,

FASHION Misses at THE MET

So it was not all fierce and fashion at The Met, some stars missed the mark.

Here our first 3 Misses at The MET

1.  Anja Rubik in Anthony Vaccarello- Ok we get it you are leggy and your body is to die for, but this white cut out dress looks more like someone ran off with a portion of her clothing. The material as well doesn't help- reminds us of a communion table cloth. Sorry darling, I know they say less is more - but in this case we suggest a refund.

2. Milla Jovovich in Prada
Now we know Prada is known for pushing the box, and it mostly plays off, for us this reminds us of those awful christmas paper streamers. We will however give her points for thinking outside expectations.

3.  Alexa Chung in Marc Jacobs
Last but in no means less guilty is Alexa Chung, I know that people seem to think this woman can do no wrong but in our eyes this is a miss that just couldn't be brushed over. Is this a night time look? It looks more like confused school girl to us. And those shoes? Come on girl! We know you can do better for British then that!

MORE ON THE MET : ALBA : HAPPENING HAIR

We love the wistful waves of this classic Hollywood look. A symmetrical and tousled to perfection this look was created by Renato Campora  and is the perfect elegant look for an eventful night.

Shimmer , Sway, Sparkle this Summer with Marchesa

We are really feeling the sparkle this season for that princess look. Stop being the supporting actress in the movie of your own life. BE the limelight and step into centre stage with a look that shimmers & sparkles. Embrace all you are and highlight it. 

Diamonds are a girls best friend? Then we figure  be your own best friend. Be a diamond this spring summer. Shimmer, sway and simply sizzle this summer.
Our favorite collection? Marchesa SS 2012

INTO THE MET: ELSA SCIAPARELLI

PRIVILEGED Preview's

ELSA SCIAPARELLI AT THE MET

Italian designer Elsa Sciaparelli is what one would consider fashions elite, you know , the ones who, " shook hands with Sinatra" figuratively speaking. In fact the people she would have shaken hands with would be Coco Chanel, her greatest rival, and Christian Dior. Born in 1890, Schiaparelli's abstract designs took off around the 1930's. In many ways, her creations were ahead of her time, she took her inspirations were from surrealists- even collaborating with Salvador Dali.
She lived in a time of significant change in the world, politically and socially. Women were beginning to seek a voice and the world was at war. This climate undoubtedly contributed to difficulties of her business continuing... She had a specific identity and direction, her clothes were art, and in a time of rations, practicality and women at war perhaps her greatest rival was her integrity to her trade. She did not change with the demands of the climate and so her quality became a limitation- she lived in a world not quite ready to fully embrace the work of this great surrealist fashion visionary. She died in 1973. The Met has chosen to pay homage to this magnificent maverick, along side Prada. The exhibition features a section of imagined conversation between Schiaparelli & Prada's Miucca.

A quote is,"One must feel the trends of history and precede" 

 -her work- on show in exhibition, looks right at home in this futuristic generation.

MORE ON THE MET : GISELE IN GIVENCHY
