In a new collaboration with Chopard, the Italian-born designer's latest creation comprises rose gold chains, 22 carats of diamonds, 134 carats of rubellites and 199 carats of pink sapphires. Zanotti has also made a pair of matching rose gold, pink sapphire and diamond hoop earrings.

Both items will be auctioned at amfAR's Cinema Against AIDS gala tonight.

New hair colour for 2011

I've thought about this before, but only now I've decided to put pen to paper, or at least fingers to keyboard and come out and say it. Inside my Wardrobe works hard to provide you with inspiration for the year's trend, hence we're currently putting together the take on 2011's hairstyles and 2011's fashion trends. But hairstyles are only a part of the equation, another part is made up by the year's haircuts and another its hair colors. And what will they be, might you ask?

Before we discuss the year's hair colors it's first important to discuss the year's rule.

Tabitha Simmons' sandals for Project Ocean

Step into this season's colour pop trend with the Eol peep toe sandals by Tabitha Simmons. 

Secured with a double buckle, this two-tone style features a lace-up back with decorative fish-shaped embelishments. Finished in turquoise and royal blue, they have been designed as part of Project Ocean, a partnership between Selfridges and the Zoological Society in London.

Project Ocean aims to increase awareness of the issue of over-fishing, thus inspiring change and raising funds. All profits from the sales of this product that costs £935 will be given to charity.

Project Ocean at Selfridges

The ocean is a source of food, a place for recreation, and it's beauty has inspired countless artists. But, it's under threat - from overfishing and poor fishing practices.

From 11 May to 12 June 2011, Selfridges is partnering with more than 20 enironmental and conservation groups to celebrate the beauty of the ocean, highlight the issue of over-fishing, help us all understand the threats to the ocean and make positive choices about the right fish to buy and eat.

A Sea of Blue

Blue has always been my favorite colour, but this Summer it takes another dimension. 
Christian Dior

Intense blues make a serious splash for Spring/ Summer 2011. Rippling silks and slippery satins, drenched in oceanic hues, flowed throughout the collections.

Lace us up, Pucci

These incredible boots, first admired on the Emilio Pucci SS11 runway, would not be the most practical purchase. But then again, they would go with so many things and be suitable for so many occasions. 

I believe every wardrobe should have room for some special shoes as well as the versatile ones. 

And as far as sexy, elegant, bohemian Spring boots go... these Pucci's top the list.

The Royal Wedding's Hats

When it comes to a special occasion in British society, the occasion is not complete without a hat. There has to be a hat, it's part of the social fabric. The much-awaited royal wedding on April 29 was a triumph of a day for hat lovers. There were hats of all shapes, sizes and colors, every person was wearing one. 
For most people, the hat is quite serious and frivolous at the same time. It completes the outfit and it's a finishing touch.


While all eyes were on Catherine Middleton's stunning Alexander McQueen gown and Cartier tiara during last friday's ceremony, guests showed up to the event in some amazing accessories of their own - hats!
British milliners had their biggest day of the year, as Victoria Beckham accesorized a dress she designed with a topper by Philip Treacey, as did Zara Philips, daughter of Princess Anne and many other guests.
Let's have a look at the Royal Wedding's Hat Gallery.
