Juliet Dunn kaftans

I know that I am suffering from some serious winter blues and it’s only November, however, I just came across these gorgeous Juliet Dunn kaftans and they have lifted my mood considerably.  I simply love the neon embroidery on the crisp white cotton and they would look incredible with a tan. There is sunlight at the end of the winter tunnel and I am starting to plan my next beach escape…

Bondi Beach Leather Chic

Lara Bingle in Lisa Marie Fernandez Bikini

The sun came out and so did Australian model Lara Bingle. Leather clad Lara showed off her bikini as she topped up her tan on Sydney’s Bondi Beach. My eagle shopping eye reminded me that I had already seen this smouldering bikini the last time I was perusing the new arrivals at Matches… I might need to make a sneaky purchase and have it ready for my next sun-soaked holiday, hehehe!

Katy Perry in Carven

Katy Perry in London wearing Carven

Katy Perry‘s fans who attended a preview screening of her film Katy Perry: Part of Me on Wednesday evening were given a special surprise in London when the star of the film turned up in person at the venue to introduce the film herself.

Completely unaware of Katy’s appearance in advance, the awe-struck crowd cheered and applauded as she made her way into the auditorium, where she also took time to hand out 3D glasses and popcorn to her audience.

She told the crowd, “Hey, hello! Is it alright that I’m here? We’re going to watch my movie!” before she put on her own glasses, and sat down in the middle of the cinema to watch the film herself.

I have a feeling that that her film won’t go on to win any awards but I totally rate her Carven Map Print Dress which can be purchased at Matches (where else?).
