Always Got Love For Love.

I genuinely have little palpitations at the thought of Pamela Love. This month is just getting too exciting. First she goes and releases more ab fab fantasy collectables, then I realise the release of her Topshop collaboration is in seventeen sleeps.

Love's collection, from £90-£1,035.

Her Topshop range below is not quite as gothic as her own line, she takes this one back to her Native American roots. I do love it but hearts and feathers are pushing it.

 Love's Topshop collaboration, from £50.

Silk, Straps And Spots.

If I was £1,704 better off and didn't have to work this evening, I would revel in gathering this outfit for a far more titillating occasion.

Arrowhead Sterling Silver & Obsidian Necklace, £1,085, Pamela Love. Y Satin Envelope Clutch, £505, Yves Saint Laurent. Pink Silk Racer Back Strappy Cami By Boutique, £38, Taupe Leopard Print Silk Cropped Trousers By Boutique, Java Black Suede Wedges, £65, all Topshop. Nails in Cadogan Square, £11, Nails Inc.

Swanky Safari.

'Practical' sandals, baggy vest, stone chinos and tribal decor can only mean one thing; a bloody fabulous safari ensemble. Not that you have to be on safari to wear it, the Savannah and wildlife would merely be the ideal accessory. I have tried these sandals on a grand total of three times, but they look like a shoe and not a sandal once on - an arguably overcritical detail I have tried to see past but simply can't. A victim of my own fastidious fashion if you like. Nevertheless wear the following this Summer if effortless style is you forte.

Cotton-Voile Tank, £60, Chinti and Parker. Tribal Spike Three-Finger Sterling Silver Ring, £535, Pamela Love. Repeat That Tan Sandals, £55, Office. Stone Chino Shorts, £30, Multi Woven Leather Plaited Belt, £26, both Topshop.

Pamela Love for Topshop.

You know that old cliché, 'dream come true'? Well this is one of those. Fave high street plus fave jewellery designer collaborations make Rosie a happy girl. Shame it's only five pieces but I have high hopes for those five. I've been waiting a while now but with them due in May, the suspense is starting to kill me. (Insert some ironic line about loving Pamela Love.)

Silverware And Swimwear.

For those who haven't heard of her, Pamela Love is a New York based jewellery designer. Her pieces are all reminiscent of a gothic, dungeons-and-dragons era. When eagle claws, raven skulls and swords were not a thing of fairytales. See for yourself..



Left to right; Sterling silver talon cuff £960, Sterling silver obsidian arrowehead ring £460, Sterling silver eagle claw earings £385, all available at net-a-porter.

I love her necklaces and above is one of my favourite pieces, the sterling silver arrowehead necklace (£230) and the sterling silver eagle claw necklace (£290).

If you're anything like me and finding satisfactory digits on the scales is looking more like mission impossible as departure day inches closer, I'd start looking for a one piece. Or a very clever little number. As the swimsuit technology needed isn't quite up to par yet in creating the 'perfect' silhouette Mouille are here to answer our short-term prayers. Anyone with a lump here and a bump there who isn't looking forward to baring all on the beach, fear not. I mean, sods law Miranda Kerr will be on the lounger next to you with her 34-24-34, and it's guaranteed that she will prance around with very little covering her modesty but who says quantity is quality? I'm not saying it will fix everything. Just help. A little.

Go to ASOS to check out more of these bad boys or the bikini's if you're more daring or head to http://www.mouille.co.uk/ to find other stockists.
