Julian J. Smith collaborates with River Island

After Versace for H&M, Missoni for Target, Roksanda Illincic for Whistles, Preen for Topshop and the recent announcement of Marni for H&M (Mar-8-2012) - the high street to high end phenomena continues with another fabulous collection about to hit the stores. Up-and-coming London based designer designer Julian J Smith collaborated with River Island for a capsule collection that will be available in stores in April.

Here's a peekabo of the fabulous collection that personifies Julian's trademark prints, geometry and colours making a bold statement.

River Island presented the collection through a short film during London Fashion Week featuring Maria Palm sporting the wonderful collection. Here's the short film followed by pictures.








Loving the chemistry of the print clash, but couldn't help wonder its Missoni-ishing. 

I can't wait to get my hands on that clutch.

What do you think about the collection?

COS Spring Summer 2012

Love COS (Collection of Style) for its sophisticated styles, clean lines, simple silhouettes and no-fuss colour palette. Their clothing can be best termed as simplicity with a twist and wearable art.

COS's Spring Summer 2012 was very COS and edgy and there was nothing not to love. Printed pants, colour palette of light blues and dark midnight, whites with a hint of green and bottle green, separates with stylish draping yet simple cuts dominated the collection. Every piece from their collection was a piece of art.






I want them all, I just wish they start international shipping and accept international credit cards.

Best Lingerie Store in the world - Harrods

Importance of wearing the right lingerie can never be undermined. It makes a huge difference to your look and confidence, and what I love the most is, if you keep looking and experimenting with different styles and the fixers, you can get the illusion of the perfect figure and hide your flaws too.

But when it comes to lingerie shopping, finding the right size and style can be really daunting. While you're picking your lingerie not only would you want to go someplace with a wide variety but it is important that you have an expert to help you pick the right size. Even if you know your size, the same lingerie brand's size may vary from style to style. Thus it is important for every woman to be aware of the need to have every bra fitted. That's where Harrods scores for me, as they have a very good fitting department and an enviable collection collection in terms of styles, brands and sizes.

Of all the countries I've been around the world, for shopping, by far Harrods lingerie department in London is my favourite for lingerie shopping. Now I know, most of us who don't have big budgets don't even think about Harrods, but trust me when it comes to lingerie shopping, Harrods is the place to be.

Harrods has the widest collection of lingerie from the most exquisite to the everyday need and almost every size you can imagine. When shopping for lingerie it is always recommended to go to a departmental store where you can find mutiple brands and hence wider variety.

With an inventory including Fauve, Le Mystere, Lejaby, Chantelle, Calvin Klein, Panache, Elle McPherson, Stella McCartney, Agent Provecateur, Freya, Audabe, Myla, La Perla and Wacoal Harrods naturally becomes the best choice for lingerie shopping. Sleepwear, shapers, lingerie sets, knickers and breifs, swimwear, corsets and basques, sports bra they have it all.

In addition they also stock the most difficult to sizes as well, which could be hard to find at other lingerie departments or stores. Whether it a 30A or a 30GG or 36F that you're looking for, you'll certainly be spoilt for choice.
The luxury ambience, excellent service, roomy fitting rooms, wide range and most importantly a good fitting service makes Harrods the best place for lingerie shopping by far.

And if you find it too expensive, hit their lingerie department during sales to find your perfect lingerie at throw away prices, but remember they don't offer fitting service during sales. So find your size and preferred style before the sales and pick them up when the discount rains on Harrods.
