Label Love- Ischiko

guiwenneth — Fri, 08 Apr 2011 09:56:11 +0000

I stumbled across this label whilst in Marisa Helene in Leighton Buzzard, lusting after Annette Görtz stuff that I can’t afford. For safety I decided to stick to the sale rails and I promptly fell in love with an Ischiko dress for £99 (down from around £300). I bought. I’m saving it for my honeymoon and I so can’t wait to wear it. It’s very dark grey, drapey, beautiful and super soft. I am now pretty much hooked on yet another brand of clothes out of my price range.

I’m afraid I stole some of these images from the webiste of The Cupboard, an amazing looking designer clothes shop in Edinburgh. Please visit and look at the lovely things they stock; it will also make me feel better for thieving their pictures.

I’m pretty sure my dress is the same as the second one down. Seriously, how awesome is it?

Annette Gortz

I am currently lusting after the follow from the Annette Gortz S/S 2011 collection:

I may have to wander down to Liberty’s after work… though, there just happens to be a shop in Leighton Buzzard that stocks Annette Gortz- and happily I’ll be very near by on my hen do weekend! It would be rude of me not to go in and at least try things on…

Petit Pois- inspirational cupcakes

guiwenneth — Fri, 25 Feb 2011 14:21:56 +0000

To be honest, I pretty much think all cupcakes are inspirational. But these ones are just so different. I know recipes for healthy cupcakes are nothing new- but this new Petit Pois range seems to have got it just right.

Behold: low calorie, high veg content (chocolate and beetroot, anyone?), preservative free, all-natural cupcakes. I’m even loving the little green pea on top.

They’re available from Selfidges from March 15th and come in 4 flavours- vanilla, chocolate, lemon and orange. I think I need to do some experimenting of my own… but maybe I’ll just buy some of these to start with.

Had a bit of help from the boy there.
