Adidas Consortium Stan Smith Collection

Last Friday I went down to the Launch of the Stan Smith Consortium Collection with the
Fresh Laces team and Drummer NathStar.

The cobbled street were over run with sneakerheads sipping on a bottles of beer and discussing the new releases.  The atmosphere was super cool, that even the rain could not succeed at dispersing the crowd. The limited edition store No.6 London was buzzing and DJ's Darq E Freaker and Lily Mercer supplied the tracks to keep the vibe Super Fresh.

There are four textured leather looks in the Adidas Consortium Stan Smith pack.
Reptile skin, cracked leather, textured ostrich and pebble phoenix.
All will be available from January 25th at No. 6 London, No. 42 Paris and No.74 Berlin.
My favourite leather look is the reptile skin, I love the twist on such a classic tennis shoe.

It usually takes me 15 minutes to do my make-up but I like to give myself an hour for special events

Let Me Accessorise You: Celeb Rouge

I first came across Celeb Boutique on a visit to Westfield Stratford, and I have been a huge fan ever since.  I love this Amicia Red Strapless Bodycon dress and have styled it with jewellery from our Statement and Precious Collections.

This statement dress has been styled using the Mandaraa Necklace which has dramatic red coral branches surrounded with red Swarovski crystals and gold plated chain.  The Gold is then echoed in the rest of the accessories.

Let Me Accessorise You: Gatsby Glam

One of my favourite films this year was The Great Gatsby starring Leonardo Dicaprio, I wish I was alive in that era just to re-live all of those glamourous clothes.
So imagine my excitement when I came across this pink sequin flapper dress from Miss Selfridges.
The colour is totally divine and the cut has a vintage inspired look perfect for my jewellery designs.

Pearl and Crystals are an elegant and classic jewellery choice, the Gabrielle Headdress compliments the flapper style dress and the Pearl Drop Earrings have a hint of sparkle for  giving you a glint of shimmer with every turn of the head.  The Crystal Cocktail Ring is so pretty and a steal at under £40 in our online Sale.  The Marilyn bracelet brings together Freshwater Pearls and Swarovski Crystals and finish he look of the day ~ Gatsby Glam!

Day 2 of the Let Me Accessorise You series and today's dress is from River Island.
The detailed embellishment is stunning, a perfect party dress for the Christmas season and I have chosen black and grey jewellery to accessorise the outfit with.

Our Black Onyx Earrings add a subtle hint of sparkle to the face without being over powering as the dress is very loud.
The Black Princess Cuff goes on one wrist and the Beulah Ring and Aaliyah Bracelet dress the other, Perfect!

My Gift to Ashanti...

On Wednesday the 4th of December the beautiful Ashanti held a concert at the O2 Indigo and we had the pleasure of being one of the official backstage sponsors.

Raw Fusion Presents Ashanti at the indigo2

The atmosphere was amazing and Raw Fusion and Unrivalled Media put on a great event!

The best part for me was meeting the talented Ashanti backstage after the show and presenting her with a luxury jewellery gift.  

I chose the Lavanya Necklace from the Statement Collection and Nadira Howlite Tassle Earrings from our Precious Collection, as the two items look amazing together and I thought it was a great choice for Ashanti who I've often seen sporting Gold Accessories.

LAVANYA NECKLACE: STATEMENT COLLECTION

NADIRA EARRINGS: PRECIOUS COLLECTION

I hope Ashanti loves them :)
