Ieva Laguna covers Harper's Bazaar Turkey June 2012

Harper's Bazaar Turkey has an interesting set up for their June 2012 cover. Ieva Leguna is front and centre like a monochromatic goddess channelling Cruella Deville. Seems we'd classify this as garden chic in Turkey, if you analyze her surroundings. One things for sure...we'd love to get our hands on that gorgeous Gucci bag she's clutching. That's the fab Gucci 1970s collection shoulder bag she's folded over to look like a clutch. Heaven in a handbag, folks!

Foxy Knoxy aka Amanda Knox hits Hot 100 list for 2012

Well this is strange, very strange. Maxim have just released their Hot 100 list and one Miss Amanda Knox is on said list! Now she may be in the lower ranks on the 100, coming in at 92, but the fact that she is included at all we find most unusual. Yes, Foxy Knoxy has been released from prison and cleared from all charges for the murder of Meredith Kercher. And yes, she is a good looking girl. But the whole ordeal is not one that strikes us as a reason to put the young girl into celebrity status. The fact that today's society celebrates such a thing is frankly a little disgusting. And we'll just leave it at that. Our thoughts are continually with the family of Meredith Kercher. Amanda Knox may have been cleared of all charges and come out with multiple fabulous opportunities to cash in on the whole ordeal but sadly the Kercher family have lost something that can never be returned or made right by a book deal or celebrity hit list. {Maxim}

Jeffrey Campbell's latest brogue wedges inspired by Simone Rocha? You be the judge...

Last September the fashion world was obsessed with the debut of one shoe at fashion week - Simone Rocha's Perspex floating heel brogue. Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and blogs the world over were circulating pictures of the footwear from the moment the first model stepped out with the totally original footwear. In London, we were all proud to claim Simone Rocha as one of our own. In only her third season on the circuit she blew everyone away completely and I have no doubt fashionistas were placing orders as fast as their iPhones could type on that very day. Well, as it turns out, there's another brand that took notice of the footwear and seems to have been inspired to create their own interpretation at a fraction of the price. Queue Jeffrey Campbell and his "Float" shoe. Frankly speaking, these two designs are a little too close for comfort. So the question is... will you be supporting Rocha or Campbell with your hard earned cash?

What to do with all those big blue Ikea bags? How about make a dress?

How many of you have about a dozen of those blue Ikea bags lying around the house? I think I have five sitting in the closet in front of me as I write. While I have been using them as charity donation bags, turns out another blogger has decided the bag can be used to flesh out your wardrobe. Ikea Hackers recommends creating a dress with your spare Ikea bags which is achievable with just a clever imagination and a pair of scissors. Somehow we don't think, however, that this is a one size fits all option. Ever made anything crazier using random items around the house? Do share!
