RUNWAY TOP 6 : CHANEL RESORT 2012

Flowing chiffon meets tailoring, while colour meets prints (and more prints) in the resort 2012 showing from Chanel. Modestly accessorised with a hint of a Parisian nautical theme, my particular fave is the pop of mellow yellow.

WHAT A CORKER

I like to think these quirky 'toast it' coasters were the manifestation of a sudden moment of breakfast table inspiration from Brazillian designer Patricia Naves. Unquestionable Funky in use or stored as a loaf of 'cork bread' on your counter top they're sure to be a conversation starter in any kitchen. Get your slice of daily bread from Patricia's design house OITI
