Hello Kitty x Laduree - This Makes Me Happy

Yeah I'm too old but I don't care - I love Hello Kitty. I also love Laduree macarons and their gorgeous little presentation boxes so this collaboration is a double win for me.  The Hello Kitty x Laduree collection of deliciously sweet, cutesy treats and all manner of kiddy stationery (notebooks, stickers, letter writing sets, etc) specially produced for the French gourmet brand, is only available in store.  www.laduree.fr for stockists

FASHION WEEK FOODIE TREAT: MATTHEW WILLIAMSON X LADUREE

It's the gift that keeps on giving - Matthew Williamson has created a special Fashion Week gift for Ladurée featuring one of his signature colourful print designs and, if you're a hoarder like me, this perfect trinket box will long outlast the mouth watering macaroons inside (NOM though).

Ladurée's Matthew Williamson Macaroon Gift Box contains eight of the now international French tea salon's most famous creations.  It will be available from its London stores in Covent Garden, the Burlington Arcade and Harrods from this Friday (16th September - the first day of London Fashion Week), then follows the fash pack to Paris where it'll be on sale from September 27 for €15,60.

NEW APC WINTER 2011/12 WOMENSWEAR RANGE - I'LL TAKE ONE OF EVERYTHING

APC has done it again.  The new Autumn/Winter 2011/12 collection has just dropped and MY it's a wonder. 

The French label specialises in relaxed Left Bank-style Parisian chic that Brits can not only fit into but feel great in too. 

The mainly muted, supremely sophisticated colour palette combines with simple detailing and quality fabrics to produce yet another highly wearable collection. This collection maintains the brand's minimalist aesthetic but incorporates a nod to current fashion trends, particularly in its ladylike knitwear and 70's jackets.

Equally perfect for work and play, APC is a go-to wardrobe staple label for many working women as their clothes transition so well from day to night.  The subtly flared Charlotte's duffle coat with its perfect collar is my most hotly desired piece but honestly, there's nothing I'd turn my nose up at - particularly the accessories.

Check out APC's site for the full collection, stockists and to get your hands on these awesome APC x Incase Macbook and iPad covers in their beautiful signature Japanese selvedge dark denim.

MOLESKINE X THE LITTLE PRINCE NOTEBOOK COLLECTION

Moleskine Art have produced a wonderful new limited edition collection of their famous notebooks celebrating Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's magical novel, The Little Prince.

Each debossed notebook comes with an exclusive put-together insert featuring the books' charming illustrations.

As a full on stationery fan, this latest release is a welcome addition to the Moleskine range although not quite as cool as the Peanuts ones they produced recently for the cartoon's 60th anniversary.

Moleskine's Little Prince notebooks are £11.99 and available now online or from various Moleskine stockists.
