I just couldn't resist .... this weekend

This weekend I couldn't resist:

• Buying these See By Chloe dark blue patent leather boots
• Visiting 100% Design in London and
• Attending the opening of Decorex and the BIID International Breakfast Seminar, where the guest speakers were product designer Gareth Devonald-Smith, famous for designing the Lollipop Chandelier for Porta Romana

• And New York Interior designer Harry Schnaper, who gave a very inspiring talk about being a late bloomer and entering interior design after numerous jobs as a teacher, a culinary artist, waiting tables and bar- tending. His favourite projects are very much based on the art deco look resulting in elegant and timeless interiors.

Stunning look

This stunning image from The Sartorialist is definitely a traffic stopper!

The dress is from the Herve Leger Spring 2009 collection... the Dove Multi Ombre Bandage one-shoulder mini.

Absolutely stunning...

Golden Boy ... Christopher Kane

Christopher Kane sure is the golden boy of London Fashion Week!

His new Spring/Summer 2010 collection is more womanly, think American-gingham dresses in pink,blue,black and navy ... with the emphasis of the womanly mood enhanced by puffy sleeves and attention to the bust.

Cant wait until Spring....

However, as the weather is getting colder, I'd love his purple velvet jacket instead....

September .... where has it gone?

September is always a busy month for me here in the northern hemisphere.

• School starts... whether it's going back to the same school, starting a new one, or even going off to college ... the kids and I are back!

• The London Design Festival ... with 100% Design London , Focus 09 and Decorex International 2009, the main focus ....

I haven't blogged for over a month and I'll be busy till the end of the month, running around trying to see and do as much as I can!

Plus catching up on all my favourite blog sites and lots of magazines to get through.....

Where has the past month gone?
