'The Luella'...

...is what I shall be naming the (or I should say 'my') colour combo of choice for as soon as the weather allows it.

Pink and orange was Luella Bartley's hero duo - remember the s/s 09 pastel confection fest? I cannot seem to forget it, even almost two summers later and after the labels sad demise. So sad. I did get a wicked bag and trench out of the closing sale though...
So at today's first hint of sunglasses tease, I got a bit fixated on finding an orange shorts & shoes/pink top outfit. This is the fault of the fashion team here, who hung up a winter version on their styling rack, which sits opposite my desk (dangerous) a few weeks ago. I have been thinking about it since. How ridiculously sad come to think of it.

Still, I am going to get these asos shorts. I know I can't wear them with anything else and they'll probably make my winter pale legs look like Elwood's (that is my white cat), but even one wear is worth it. They are like sunshine on a hanger.

ESPECIALLY when teamed with Camilla Skovgaard shoe heaven. Sadly they only have a 37.5 on the outnet, but that just gives me a project for my next weeks convalescent web surfing.

Finally the perfect Splendid T. net-a-porter


Too much? Note to self: start to love neutral lipstick.

Pretty in Pink


Tuesday evening saw me standing outside Harrods post outfit panic (invite said 'dress code: cocktail with a hint of pink', read five minutes before cab arrived). Quick fashion cupboard raid later and I'm in baby pink sequins and Stargazer fluro pink lipstick. Shall have to do.

The cause? Estee Lauder Pink Ribbon campaign has taken over Harrods for the annual illuminations ceremony, with Liz Hurley doing the honors (usual uniform: micro, glitzy, spangly, it was f-f-freezing btw). In 5,4,3,2,1 Harrods would be PINK! I was lucky rough to be invited to the VIP bit, festooned with fetching pink 3D specs, an LED balloon, and felt very Christmassy and special when they did come on, even if they weren't pink per se.



The Estee Lauder Pink Ribbon Collection 2010 is on sale in Harrods now in support of the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. A great cause if ever there was one and a lust worthy collection if ever I saw one.

The reception afterwards was prettily pink enough to make my 2 year old niece Poppy very proud. Just another day in beauty land...
