London calling...

From the land of Ziggy Stardust, ‘God Save the Queen’- The Sex Pistols, Vivienne Westwood and the Union Jack... Home of punk and the motto that we should all just ‘Carry On.’ Britain welcomes the Olympic spirit once more, since last hosting the games in 1948, after the Second World War.

Not an athlete? Not to worry... There is something we can all take from the Olympic spirit... We should all ‘Go for Gold’ 'Train Hard' and 'Let the Games Begin'..................

Under the sea...

Shards of coral at Alexander McQueen... A mermaid and surfer love story at Givenchy... This ‘Ocean’s ‘12’ trend is catching on like a fish to water, with no fear of being thrown in the deep end. Think ‘futuristic water world’ meets ‘The Little Mermaid.’ There are beautifully draped gowns, sequinned scale-like textures, vibrant colours and ocean prints.

A beach escape, all in your wardrobe... Now that we like.

Springtime dreaming...

Spring/Summer is making its way in store at Pink... We are longing for lazy days in the sun, where the warm breeze on our arms is the only jacket we need. We are dreaming of sitting under the shade of a tree and walking barefoot on the beach. Not long to go now... The grey end is near and we can smell the sweet scent on flowers waiting to bloom. Grab your Prada heels, hold a shell to your ear and daydream with us too...

A jewelled life...

Sometimes we don’t quite know what connects us to a piece of jewellery. It could be the colour, a charm, the place where we bought it... Or maybe it’s because it was given to us by someone special, or perhaps it was passed down from someone we love. Whatever the reason, jewellery is probably the most special of all accessories, because It’s something we keep so close to us that it becomes a part of us. It can provoke emotion when we look at it or bring us back to a fond memory or happy moment in time. It’s a reminder of love, or a love lost, or the promise of a love that’s to come.

Venessa Arizaga certainly understands what it means to have a connection to jewellery. Her designs are made for women with a strong character and a sense of humour... Her bold statement jewels are lovingly crafted from rainbow silk threads, chains, stones, crystals and charms... Collected from exotic locations all over the world.

“I like to think of each piece I create as a treasure and a good luck charm, something special you want to keep close to you to reflect upon good times and evoke your favourite memories.” - Venessa Arizaga
