Show some Luella Love


Unfortunately one of my favourite labels, Luella, is due to close since its long-term investor Club 21 has walked away from financial support of the young British label. The difficult economic climate was cause for the investor to continue to provide support, without which the label will not be able to remain in business. Legions of fans are definitely upset by this, so much so that a 'Save Luella' club has been opened on facebook. I'm not sure how much this could help but I can only hope that Luella will find new investor soon. But on that note, 'Save Luella! Wear pretty dresses!'

I'm all a Flutter


The new collection from Sretsis for Autumn/Winter 2010 is appropriately titled 'Make My Heart Melt' which is a mere understatement to say the very least. While this collection is not my favourite to date, 'School of Rebellious Sweethearts' was, this one is running a very close second and definitely has me longing for many, almost all, the pieces. I reaally love the first two looks. And how lovely is the background? You know I could prattle on about Sretsis forever but I'm sure you can see why. The newest addition to the growing label is eyewear which I am totally swooning over, featuring little daisies on the wings and available in a variety of candy colours and prints. They have also expanded their focus on jewellery with more pieces available to accompany the collection. Feminine and quirky = LOVE.
