The Best Things In Life, Come In Small Packages

Some people say the best things in life come in small packages. Well, in this case, we couldn't agree more!
There will soon be a new member joining the family. And honestly, it's impossible to stop thinking of all the beautiful little clothes and baby shoes...

Burberry Prorsum Resort 2013 Collection


Yes, it rains in the U.K., and as everyone around the globe knows, Burberry’s exponentially increasing fortunes spring from Christopher Bailey’s manipulation of trench-coat iconography. 

So it’s hard to criticize a formula that is clearly successful, absolutely recognizable, and unwavering in its continuity. Bailey tagged his resort collection “sensual strictness,” but compared to other pre-collections, there’s actually more of a casual air about the reworkings of house tailoring, like his taupe-and-ivory seersucker pantsuit, paper-bag–waisted trousers coordinated with “Prorsum” print T-shirts, knits with swooped necklines, and the house’s signature shrunken motorcycle jackets. At the young end, there are cute printed shorts (actually boxers, adapted from the men’s collection) and at the slightly more mature end, pencil skirts. The trench, though, gets its moment of glory moment, upgraded to a light gold lamé.

Sweet 16... Ooops, 30!

We are back to London after two weeks of holidays in Portugal. And last week we celebrated our 30th birthday, or Sweet 30, as we like to say.
The cake was the highlight and we would love to share some pictures with you.

It was a "Lady Dior", one of our favorite handbags of all times. This "Devil's food cake" is made of chocolate and the filling was mascarpone and fruit, as strawberries and berries. One word: delicious! The worst part was to cut this masterpiece. Have a look and you will understand why... 

We would like to say a big thank you to Marisol from "Sweet things" for everything, as she is the face and artist behind this amazing birthday cake.





What are your thoughts of our Lady Dior birthday cake, Shining Stars?

Victoria's Secret Bond Street Opening

Victoria's Secret London flagship store launch date has finally arrived. The long-awaited boutique on Bond Street will open its doors today, Wednesday August 29. The new store follows the opening of the smaller Westfield Stratford branch last month.

The impressive 40,386 square-foot emporium lives up to all hype - there are three floors of sparkling, super-glamorous and frilled fancies to choose from. While there are more pink, striped furnishings than fans could possibly wish for, the interior also has a British twist - think decorative paintings, carved, wooden fixtures and giant glass chandeliers. Walls are covered with black and white photographs of the Angels signed by the models themselves, while the shop floor is dotted with costumes from the brand's 2011 catwalk show in all their feathered, winged glory. Other highlights include the fourth-floor, invite-only VIP suite, where high-profile shoppers can sit in a makeshift library on plush sofas as they are presented with the label's latest collections. Sadly for fans, there will be no star-studded launch party - and no Angels will be present to celebrate today's opening. We have our fingers crossed for a London show instead.

The London flagship store has been one of the most anticipated launches of the year, and was first announced over a year ago in August 2011. Originally set to open prior to the Olympics alongside its Westfield sister store, the opening of the huge Bond Street space had been postponed until now.

Guess where we are going today.
