Modalu London - Pippa Grab SS12 New colours!

Goff Photos 
London has had a nice dose of sunshine over the past few days which has seen an array of summer hues on the bustling Oxford Street. We spotted the much loved Modalu London Pippa Grab as made famous across the globe by Miss Middleton herself. Our last purchase from this English boutique brand was the Pippa in Chilli. Now we have a selection of new colours to choose from and a matching purse too! The purse is a classic shape, very practical with enough compartments for all our daily essentials! We've featured our favourite new  shades which include Nude, Sunrise Orange, Raspberry, and Mint! You can see the full collection at Modalu.com which we've heard tends to sell out of lines as soon as they come in! Decided which colour to go for? We think Mint could be the one, or maybe Sunrise orange? - decisions, decisions! 

For our Canadian readers, we've heard that Town Shoes are exclusively selling Modalu there so keep your eyes peeled for when stock comes in at Townshoes.com.


We'll keep you posted on which one we go for! :)

New iPad = New iPad Case!

The new iPad launches today and people have been queuing for hours to be the first the get their hands on the ever so popular gadget from Apple! We've compiled some of the chicest cases available for this spring from online favourite net-a-porter.com. We love the Alexander McQueen Ocelot printed canvas case featuring the signiture metal skull. Proenza Schouler's PS1 leather offering in neon coral is very on trend for this season. We love the fact it can house your tech but also be used as a clutch! Colour blocking features on the collaborative design by Jonathan Saunders for Smythson. The camel and bright red leather is combined on a very practical style design which allows you to use the iPad without having to take it out of the case - great for those on the go. Another standout style is by Stella McCartney - tangerine colour really makes a style statement and the interwoven chain trimming gives it an edge. Now all you have to do is figure out which one to go for!? Our verdict - the PS1 is on our wish list!

Basso & Brooke x Cambridge Satchel Company AW12

Here are some highlights from Basso & Brooke's AW12 show at London Fashion Week. We've always been big fans of their prints on apparel and love them on the ever so popular Cambridge Satchel Co. capsule collaboration below. The geo prints really stand out and make a statement but if you're more inclined to toned down styling, they also come in plain colours!

The Jimmy Choo Justine bag

Here's a little video from Jimmy Choo introducing the gorgeous Justine bag for this Spring/Summer 2012! The contrasting textures and colours work really well together - our favourite is the yellow and taupe combination. The design has a sporty feel but doesn't loose it's chic appeal. We're love the little bulldog featured in the video! Enjoy! :)

Orla Kiely AW12

Orla Kiely presented a ladylike collection of bags for her AW12 collection. We love the feminine bow detailing, especially on the tan, black and cream colour block framed bag below. The use of patent and mid sheen leathers works well and gives a vintage feel to the collection. Her signature print also featured which we are big fans of! Overall we like the classic feel and clean lines of the collection.
