My Flash Trash
Love Token necklace, £210 Anne Bowes at myflashtrash.com
Fashion Editor recently wrote an article about rising jewellery e-boutique My Flash Trash, citing it as one of the coolest new jewel destinations to shop at this season.
Having since met its owner, Amber Atherton, I feel compelled to give My Flash Trash another little shout out on my blog.
Amber's enthusiasm for hand plucking and supporting up and coming British designers to feature and sell on her website is fantastic. Backing homegrown labels is her forte, and she does it well.
Point in case is Brit trinket master Anne Bowes. Based in East Sussex and London Anne blends vintage, antique and contemporary elements in her work, like the engraved edges of this Love Token medallion, suspended on a modern bead chain.
Check out the inscription too. Cute. And just in time for Valentines...

Cute Embroidered Cotton
Fashion Editor's new favourite afternoon tea venue, Soho's Secret Tea Room, provides the inspiration for a post on vintage embroidered cotton.
Check out the beautifully embellished tablecloths below.
Target this style of needlework on 70's peasant tops when scouring vintage stores. The perfect modern-bohemia charm when styled with pastel denim, shorts and over bikinis.
Oooh a white bikini embroidered with rainbow flowers... Imagine that!

Dear Santa...
Now, Fashion Editor doesn't mean to seem ungrateful Santa. But you see there are a couple of things you forgot to drop off under the tree this year...
What Santa remembered...

We Are Handsome's Grizzly Bear Bikini
This off beat label plasters grizzly bears and graceful stags onto its swimwear. Just beautiful.
Not only is We Are Handsome super cool, but it is backing up and coming talent in the fashion industry. Through its latest venture, A Handsome Project, they're giving budding fashion photographers the opportunity to shoot their own fashion campaigns.
This shot by Natalia Horinkova juxtaposes two of Fashion Editor's favourite things: wildlife and dance. Besides, who wouldn't want a bear on their derriere, huh?

by Brilliant's Simulated Diamonds
The Octavia cocktail ring from jewellery e-boutique bybrilliant.com is just the thing to add to Fashion Editor's 1970's inspired bauble collection.
Featuring a large oval cut simulated red ruby and smaller simulated diamonds, bybrilliant.com is paving the way for trend-driven manmade diamonds, offering everything from simple, classic teardrop earrings to on-the-money key-shaped pendant necklaces.
So what is a simulated diamond? A simulated diamond is a diamond-like stone that has not been mined from the earth. The result is a stone with a similar refractive index and harness of a diamond.
Pick from diamonds set in gold, white gold and silver, only trained gemologists with specialist equipment can tell the difference. Plus they last a lifetime, just like real diamonds.

Accessory Update
There's no denying Fashion Editor's an accessories fiend. When she's not adding a ring or three to her already colossal jewellery collection, she's picking up new shoes, bags, hats, you name it.
So here's a little peek at three of the best:
1: Chanel quilted lambskin handbag
Years of abuse and this baby is still looking (relatively) neat
2: Red hat, picked up in a random shop in Soho
It's been to Bestival, to the seaside, on nights out in Essex and Hackney. And as of this weekend, to Nimes in France
3: Leopard pony skin crest-embellished Senso slippers
The first pair of slippers to grace Fashion Editor's shoe collection. She's more of a loafer girl you see. Strangely addictive though. Like a boyish ballet pump (and yep, just as comfy). These ones from Senso are bespoke - pick from loads of different finishes, pink leopard, silver glitter and so on and the toe crest is optional too. Buy them at Village Underground and Solestruck.com

Guest Edit: Office Shoes Blog
"My tomato red midi skirt is the perfect length to show off these show stopping platforms. They create amazing height and are soooo comfortable - I danced all night long in them at the Kate Moss Rimmel party. I used leopard print and bohemian turquoise jewellery to stick with the power-tribal theme of the shoes."

London Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2012: Venue Watch
Fashion Editor's been running around town catching all the shows at London Fashion Week spring/summer 2012.
Locations are key during LFW, with so many back to back shows and parties in the evening, event venues can become repetitive so when something special comes along, it can really lift tired journalists spirits.
It's day four of this season's LFW schedule and a few venues have stood out as 'cool spots'.
1) Battersea Power Station, Battersea (The red lights are mesmerising and the industrial element makes it feel edgy)

1) Battersea Power Station, Battersea (The red lights are mesmerising and the industrial element makes it feel edgy)
2) The Royal Opera House, Covent Garden (It's like you're sitting in a glass dome, there's so much light and feels very 'fairytale')
3) The Old Sorting Office, New Oxford Street (Purely because I can't stop staring at the glass baubles that are suspended from the ceiling!)
4) The Old Eurostar Terminal, Waterloo Station (Topshop's show space, the catwalk venue for designers like Michael Van Der Ham and Peter Pilotto is pretty unique, and has its own bar!)
