Sparkle Like A Star

During my wedding planning, it came time to pick the wedding cake. I knew exactly what I wanted because my theme was lace with a touch of pearls. When I finally found my cake, something was missing. It needed cake toppers! finally I found the cake topper to go with my perfect cake. It was our initials personalised made with genuine Swarovski elements Crystals and Pearls by Crystal Couture. 

My cake was made by The Cake Studio, I was so excited and happy with the cake that they were asking me where did I get my initial cake toppers from?!

 18 months later, and they still sparkle!

Tiffany & Co. Return to Tiffany Bead Bracelet

On Valentine's Day my husband bought me a single red rose, it was so beautiful it put a smile on my face meaning I love you. I wasn't expecting anything. 

Friday after work we were getting ready to go out, he suggested I wear my new bracelet. I said 'what new bracelet?' he pulled out a Tiffany & Co. box. I was so surprised and couldn't wait to open it! He said 'Happy Valentine's Day'!

I love my new Tiffany & Co. Return to Tiffany Bead Bracelet

My Dior watch and Tiffany&Co. bracelet go really well together.

Whitney Elizabeth Houston (1963-2012)

I know this is all over the blogosphere and internet but I just had to write my own tribute to pop queen Whitney Houston in honour of her talent. I was so stunned to hear about her passing away when I was attending a baby girls Christening day, I logged onto Twitter and read Jermaine Dupri’s message – I couldn’t believe it till I read it on CNN News for confirmation.

I'm sure everyone has their own connection to Whitney's songs but I suppose I can say 'I will always love you' was one of the first songs I learned after watching the movie The Bodyguard! Her voice was magic.

Lionel Richie said, “She was just a gift in voice”! Her voice had range, power, steely control, and incredible dynamics and on top of that, each syllable was delivered with a delicate, divine touch!

In honour of one of the best female voices of our time, Rest In Peace – the world will always remember you.

Spicebomb by Viktor & Rolf

Viktor & Rolf's first fragrance ‘Flowerbomb’ was released back in 2005, it was such a hit and one of my favourite fragrance that the designers actually got jealous of not being able to wear it themselves, so their latest fragrance 'Spicebomb' a spicy scent for guys, it features an intoxicating blend of chilli, saffron, leather, tobacco, vetiver, bergamot, grapefruit, elemi and pink pepper... The design duo says:

"We were jealous of all the women who had Flowerbomb, and we wanted to have our own bomb. We felt that if flowers were a very typical feminine scent, spices were the masculine opposite."

It's set to hit counters late January in the UK and March elsewhere.

My very own Flowerbomb

I have a lot of confidence in this new Spicebomb fragrance

that I can't wait to purchase it for my husband.
