BEAUTIFUL YSL ADS

I have always loved YSL make-up ads, actually their ads in general. Remember the Kate Moss pictures? They are always so beautiful! Just look at the new ads! Perfection!

LIVINGSTONE FOR LONDON FASHION WEEK

Ahead of London's mayoral election, Ken Livingstone has announced his backing for a "permanent venue" for London Fashion Week. "London is a world centre for fashion. Great designers such as Vivienne Westwood, Alexander McQueen and John Galliano use London as a place of inspiration, to experiment and launch new ideas," he explained in his Cultural Manifesto, delivered at yesterday's launch of Culture in 21st century London at the Institute of Contemporary Arts.

"I will ensure there is support for the new design talent that is the bedrock of the industry. I will help London Fashion Week establish a permanent venue in the capital. At the same time I will work to improve conditions in the industry, particularly for models, through ensuring that the recommendations of the Model Health Inquiry are implemented," he continued.

LOUBOUTIN'S COMING TO TOWN

Make your way to Mount Street this month for the launch of Christian Louboutin's European flagship store. Following the recent opening of the Harvey Nichols-based boutique, fans of the legendary shoemaker will now be able to take delight in a gorgeous three-room shop showcasing the latest spring/summer 2008 collection in all its glory.

"In such a pretty street, I want to have my prettiest shoes," says Louboutin of the new Mayfair address. In keeping with his original boutique on rue Jean-Jacques in Paris, shoes will perch among mirrored alcoves (which also disguise a hidden library room) while handbags will be displayed in brightly coloured tin frames and a Perspex part light structure – created by the designer himself, no less – will take pride of place. I can't wait!

BAFTA TV AWARDS 2008

Kelly Brook looking very glamorous at BAFTA Television Awards. She was wearing navy-blue Suzie Turner gown and white Dior fur shrug. I think that she can pull off the old Hollywood glamour so well.

Usually I am not so impressed with British actresses awards outfits choices but this time I found some beautiful dresses on the red carpet. For example Gina McKee in emerald Alberta Ferretti dress.

TATTY DEVINE GOES STATESIDE

Cult jeweller Tatty Devine has got together with the de Young gallery in San Francisco to create an exclusive new collection celebrating British artists Gilbert & George. Among the typically cool and quirky range are a pair of gin bottle cufflinks, Gilbert & George glasses, and "Hope" and "Fear" brooches and necklaces. Before you get too excited, however, we have to point out that the pieces are only available to buy from the museum shop, to tie-in with the Gilbert & George exhibition it is running until May 18. So for Tatty fans who can't make it stateside, there's something else to look forward to: a collaboration with London-based artist Rob Ryan, whose paper cut designs will be on show at the Tatty Devine Brick Lane gallery from April 25.

My opinion on the subject...

Tatty Devine jewellery is very unique, you won´t find similar designs anywhere. They are really fun and kitchy but I think you can even wear them at work, for example Music Note Bracelet in Red. It would definitely make a boring work suit look a bit more fun. Here comes some examples of Tatty Devine jewellery. You can buy them at http://www.tattydevine.com/

Champagne Cocktail Party Necklace £44.00. It is from the new Movie Mayhem Collection.



Sexy Legs Earrings £41.00. They are also from the Movie Mayhem Collection.
