Candles for the fash pack on the go

Otis Batterbee City Scent CandlesIf you're jetting from fashion week to fashion week (a. you must have a very secure job to be given such a task in this economic climate and b. you lucky dawg), you're going to be loaded up with a ton of swag by the end of it. But chances are you're going to want a few things of your own and of good quality in your Asprey carry-on that you can use after long days of working the tents and parties. These three candles are inspired by Otis Batterbee's favourite hotels in his favourite cities (The Ritz in Paris, The Carlyle in NYC and The Covent Garden Hotel in London). Take 1 (instead of 3) with you to keep your room smelling lovely and to keep your luggage under weight. And at £35.00 this candle set isn't in the upper stratosphere of price. It's not cheap as chips but, if nice candles are a must for you (and for some peopel they are), then it ain't all that bad.

Otis Batterbee Travel Sleep MaskPersonally, I think the travel eye mask's are worth buying too. They're backed with 100 per cent cotton velvet, lightly scented with lavender and they come in things like Prince of Wales Check? Natty as a Saville Row tailor and would making any sleeping beauty (or beast) draw admiring stares (unless you drool, in which case they'll be staring at that instead).

In any event, thanks for the tip little beauty bird (we love our anonymous email tips). This is a faboo find.

Aram Dikiciyan's ethereal beauty

 


I stumbled on this German photographer's recent exhibition whilst browsing the Japan Times last week. Ethereal. Eerie. Simple. Very beautiful.

 

Aram Dikiciyan was at Clear Gallery through today.

Tatty Devine, pretty personal accoutrement

 

Tatty Devine magpie broach


Have we told you how much we love Tatty Devine yet? If not... we do. Alot. Their new batch of jewellery is fantastic. Magpies and Cockatiels and rose puzzle pieces and all sorts that we know our friend at Wee Birdy's going to love. It's a sort of updated take on old-fashioned floral broaches and a bit of a new take on dandy cufflinks.

 

The yellow rose ones might be hard to pull off in the board room but, hell, if you're man enough, you can pull off anything. And there are loads of us no longer in, ahem, the office with all this economic fallout going on. And it's not as if I don't regularly see men pairing pink and purple ties and shirts (NB: NOT in America, home of the pleat-front chino and blue button down the, now disgraced, banker uniform).

They even do muy cool collaborations with the likes of Gilbert and George and Rob Ryan. See more pretty pieces below:
