Jimmy Choo competition supports HIV awareness

72 Shoe
Vintage 72

Hello lovely readers! I want to tell you about a fab competition for a very good cause!


Project Pep
Jimmy Choo and Elton John AIDS Foundation have launched a photo competition to support the launch of Project PEP, a charity collection that donates 25% of sales to the Simelela Rape Centre in South Africa. The money goes towards providing the HIV-preventative treatment PEP (which must be taken within 72 hours of exposure to HIV) and counseling to victims of rape in South Africa, which has the highest count of rape in the world.

The theme of the photo competition is ‘You, Your Shoes and 72’, and as you can see from some of the photo entries here, they’ve had a very diverse response over the past few weeks.

The overall winners will be announced after the competition closes on 7th December. On offer is a Grand Prize of the ultimate Jimmy Choo VIP experience – the winner will be invited to spend a day of luxury at the Jimmy Choo HQ and choose 7 pairs of shoes and 2 handbags to keep. Plus over 100 exclusive Jimmy Choo prizes will also be awarded. You can enter the competition here. Good luck!

Lust-Have Tree Decorations

Check out these lust-have Xmas tree decorations:








Sigh... these stunning decs' are from Anthropologie, avail in the US and Europe only. No fair, because aside from Xmas decorations, this store also has to-die-for clothing and homewares and quite frankly, I want one of everything! Where in Oz can I buy Fern a dress like this:



I wonder if I could pop over to the UK for a wee shopping trip?

~ Lovely Lucite ~

Some places it is called Lucite and in others it acrylic - whatever you call it I love it - trays, ice buckets, frames, boxes, sticky tape dispensers ... this list is endless - here are some lovely examples of the beautiful home accessories made from lucite that I love.

It's not often that I come across a boutique that has so many wonderful treasures but live like this is a little slice of heaven: From the pretty pastel blue of the exterior to the exquisite merchandise inside, all wonderfully displayed, to the friendly staff!

They stock Anna Lou's jewelery in a dark, wintry palette of black, plum and teals. They have a pretty selection of silicone bakeware, the cutest of cupcake wrappers and delightful rolls of oilcloth fabric. There is a selection of items from Cath Kidston, Rice and Orla Kiely. There is also a baby & kids section full of great gift ideas. I could have spent hours in there!

The shop is situated in the heart of Cowes on the Isle of Wight. But, they do have an online shop: live like this (link).

~ Thunderbolts and Lightning ~

Drama in The Cove this afternoon when a big electrical storm hit! The house across the road had a direct hit and up in flames it went in a mater of minutes.

The poor man who lives there was home at the time and unable to get a thing out as it took over so fast - he has lived there for 50 years.

Certainly gave me a fright as it felt like it hit us - thankfully nobody was injured.

Hope the weekend is a little less eventful.
