I stumbled upon these incredibly sexy heels on a re-sale site.
I have never seen them before but I think they probably are the worlds hottest heels, now I admit that I have used that phrase more than once but honestly I think this it this time.
Unfortunately these aren't my size and I suspect they are long gone from store but damm it I want them!
I guess I'll have to make do with the pictures *commence drooling*
For the last four years Gucci has launched a special collection with the aim of raising funds for Unicef, this years Tattoo heart collection will launch on 19th November and run until the 31st January with 25% of sales going to Unicef.
This year the collection will feature signature style handbags and some new designs!
"I love the idea of a heart being tattooed onto the handbags," explains Gucci's creative director Frida Giannini, "It's a permanent mark that you can wear with pride that stays with you. I think that represents very well what we are doing here. This is not a one-off programme, but rather an ongoing commitment to the incredible work that UNICEF is able to achieve. It's really our chance to give back."
I'll update you when I get more info and images

I so rarely get to write any thing for you guys so I am really happy to show these fabulous bags from Dolce & Gabbana.
Oh but it's better than that not only do these bags come in beautiful alligator leather, I am really feeling gator right now, but they are one of a kind!
All together there are 25 stunning bags available and each one will come labelled limited edition 1 of 1. This is actually the first time they have done this for the guys.
Now the sad news, as they are so super limited they are offered by invitation only. The bags will be unveiled at special event between November and January.
Here are a few of my favourites but check out Dolce & Gabbana for the rest of the collection

Last night I picked up this fabulous pair of Christian Louboutin shoes. This is just the start of my love affair with Louboutin (well it's my second pair) and a location selling the sexy red soles just 10 minutes from me could be my down fall!
The "Lady Grant" are a gorgeous pair of matt Navy leather with patent red leather box toe heel's, they also come in a Matt Tan and Black patent combo.
The best bit..because I bought them during a store event I got 15% off! Gotta love a discount.
Actual Retail price: £325

I have an event this evening showcasing Fall and Winter fashions with some jewellery thrown in. I'm having difficulty deciding on what to wear.
I have a Prada Fairy top that I have never worn, that's a crime really, and it's a rare day where it's not very cold or wet so the all white outfit planned around it won't get ruined.
So in my best Carrie Bradshaw.....
Is it a fashion Faux Pas to wear a Spring Summer outfit to a Fall Winter event?
Other available options include:-
A full lace Dolce and Gabbana Dress - although I think that's a little OTT
A black leather (or should I say Pleather) skirt, with black and white silk biker jacket and lace tights
Or a simple black DVF dress with pink suede Louboutin C'est Moi Booties.
The bag's easy.......Louis Vuitton Limelight

The asymmetric Heart Dress by Marc Jacobs
retails at £2430

Next time you find yourself in Paris why not treat yourself to a little pampering at L'institut Dior. The very first beauty spa from Dior has opened it's doors inside the Plaza Athénée, the stunning hotel just a little way from the flagship boutique. The spa features five treatment rooms including one double VIP room. Decor is 100% Dior, luxurious and classically timeless. The walls of the treatment room feature the Dior Carnage pattern but the main talking point has to be the single suspended glass Water droplet.
Treatments, some of which where designed especially for L'institut, include L'or De Vie "The Miracle Treatment", a 120 minute treatment featuring L'or De Vie products created in collaboration with Chateau d'Yquem. The products feature an extract from the vines of Chateau d'Yquem which are considered to yield some of the most powerful antioxidant properties in the world, a must when fitting time. (490 Euros)
L'Institut has a wide range of treatments for men too.
For more information be sure to check out the hotel website

The Igloo collection is the latest release in the accessories line from Louis Vuitton.
Mini monogrammed silk is quilted and filled with rabbit, cotton and wool to wrap you in warmth in the long winter days. Each piece is finished with the tiny golden plate with the "Louis Vuitton" signature.
Individually these piece's could be pretty cute but please, please don't wear them all at once I beg you. Personally, I think the cutest option is the scarf not only will it look great by it's self but it'll also look pretty hot with the new quilted Etoile bags.
Prices are:-
Scarf £500
Mittens £580
Hat (Chapka) £580 Available online now at www.Vuitton.com (UK Version)

I'm sure by now you've seen the up and coming cruise bags from Louis Vuitton (black and white bag, centre), but what you probably haven't seen is the matching scarf! Vuitton's scarves are becoming just as popular as the bags with the Sprouse Leopard leading the way and the Tahitiennes and Monogramoflage hot on it's trail.
Well here is your opportunity to start obsessing early, the cruise collection is expected to arrive in stores from November and with it's HOT bright colours I expect it to be a popular collection.
So when I spotted this scarf in US Elle this month I just had you share with you all, unfortunately there is no price listed.

I'm so sorry guys some horrible fake website is popping up in my ad's I am working on removing it. I in no way condone fake so please please guys DO NOT buy from zhefiry they are fakes with out a doubt and no matter what they say.
If you didn't already know Net-a-Porter get new items every Monday and Wednesday and it's one of my first web stops.
In today's new items there is a banquet of delicious pieces, but before I show you my other 2 favourites I wanted to show you this Tibi Lame dress.
In case you missed it Lame was big news on the runway for Spring Summer 09 so this is the perfect opportunity for you to be ahead of the fashion pack. Bag this fabulous Gold Tibi dress now and you can sit back smugly while everyone has to scour the stores looking for that perfect Lame piece.
Now I did mention other favourites............
Despite the tassels (you know I hate them by now surely?) the Chloe Applique Bucket bag is really rather cute. The white leather bucket with floral metal embellishments and a chain link strap retails at £1580. It'll work for the Euro Folk look were rocking right now and it's also perfect for the SS floral prints of next year.
And my final piece for the evening has got to be these Alexander McQueen Red Crystal Peep Toes. I think even Dorothy (Wizard of Oz) would give up her magic red slippers for these beauties!
Don't forget Net-a-Porter has free shipping until the 20th October so grab them as quick as you can. Click the link above for your free shipping code.

Vive la Bag!
Finally a runway show with bag, bags galore!
I'm not 100% feeling the clothes but at least they are summery and not the drab colour palette we've seen in so many of the previous SS shows.
There are a few pieces that catch my eye and I'm sure the leopard bags are going to be a huge success, I especially like the metallic clutch versions. And don't forget to check out those bangles, if you have the leopard scarf just try and tell me you don't need the bracelet too!
Another favourite of mine is the red shimmering metallic monogram bags and I also like the bi-colour embroidered bags.....oh dear that's 3 I've rattled off and it's a long way off release date. I think I may be in trouble come summer.
I can't wait until there is a little more information on this collection at the minute there are too many bag options some will have to be dropped and I will be keeping my fingers crossed until I find out what survived the cull.
The show video is available now on Vuitton.com so go and check it out for yourself but until then here are a few pics for your enjoyment.

I love these shoes!
Only a few days ago I tried they dark paillette pumps on but they were a tiny bit tight and there was no bigger size.
Now today on Net-a-porters new items are the fantastic Pearl version. Beautiful silver and pink's these shoes are FABULOUS (yes they deserve capitals) now as gorgeous as the look in that imagine them when the light hits them, and with the holiday season approaching these are perfect.
If you needed any more excuses to get the.....Net-a-porter is currently offering free shipping!
Well what are waiting for?

I really look forward to the Chanel show partially for the set dressing rather than the collection. In the past we've seen Giant tweed jackets and a carousel of Chanel items this time the set was a recreation of 31 Rue Cambon, Chanel's first boutique.
The show opened with suited security guard/doorman and the song "our house" by Madness. From the store front the models poured, but reference to the store did not end there, some models walked the runway with a bag designed to look just like the store shopping bags, shown in white, black and pink.
Of course as always the black and white palette was a big force on the runway as was the classic Chanel tweed this time reworked with what looks like shimmering threads running though.
I'm not a big fan of the hosiery on display this time around they look a little like support stockings. On the other hand I do really like the the peep toe shoe boots with the bows and there are a few pieces of costume jewellery that also catch my eye (look closely at the pics) especially that giant neck collar the swimsuit modeling is wearing...it's no wonder she's wearing sunnies.
The floaty ruffles and dresses in a metallic shining lame have a slight Spanish influence, with at least one dress being perfect for Flamenco, good job she has a guitar with her....yes that's right you read that correctly a Chanel guitar. You have to hand it to Lagerfeld he does the most fabulous random accessories.
