Win stuff now!




If I wasn’t being whisked to Paris on a bloggers’ jolly, I’d pretty much definitely be hitting the V&A Village Fête this weekend. The action kicks off this evening (er like, now) and continues tomorrow arvo. My lovely jewellery-crafting buddy Leona from Lady Luck Rules OK and her team of creative cohorts are ramping things up on their stand with a giant game of Rock’n’Roll Tiddleywinks. What loons, I don’t even want to imagine the carnage.

There will also be the chance to win one of LLROK’s Rock’n’Roll Kitten necklaces (named after Leona’s punk kittens Dee Dee and Joey) which have been designed and handmade especially for the Fête.

BUT if you can’t make the Fête, you can still win a necklace – just enter this exclusive (er, I think) wee Disneyrollergirl competition by answering the following question:

If you could have any pet, what would it be and what famous superstar (dead or alive) would you name them after? 

Post your answer in the comments below and the necklace could be nuzzling against your clavicle in no time.
[Small print alert! Competition closes on Friday 31st July at midnight (British Summer Time). The Winner will be announced the following week.]
UPDATE: THE COMPETITION IS NOW CLOSED>>>Don’t forget to check back here for the winner next Friday… 

FURTHER UPDATE>>> Here’s the winner

Help!



I’m off on a bloggers’ day trip to Paris on the Eurostar on Saturday. Where shall I go during my 3 hours shopping slot? I want to go to Colette but haven’t got further than that. I’m giving myself €100 to spend all day so I will mostly be window shopping but may stretch to the odd T-shirt, book or Hermes Constance bag cloud Post-it notes. 

What would you recommend for someone on a strict budget?

Love this…



Dear Blogger

I wanted to introduce you to my label Glovedup Gloves.
Pioneering creator of fashion-forward fingerless gloves since 2001;
I started the business to put gloves back onto the fashion agenda.

8 years on, and a glance in the fashion mags,
or at all the fingerless mitts on the AW09/10 catwalks;
Alexander McQueen, Armani Privé, Chanel, Fendi, Givenchy, Louis Vuitton,
and you’d have to agree that either I saw into the future, or I helped make it happen.

Worn by Anna Piaggi, Dita Von Teese, Kylie Minogue, Lady Gaga, La Roux, Madonna, Peaches (the original not Geldof)
Photographed by Mario Testino, Miles Aldridge, Solve Sundsbo, Steven Meisel, Peter Lindbergh
Styled by Arianne Phillips, Lucinda Chambers, Patti Wilson, Karl Templer
And featured in i-D, Harpers Bazaar, Numéro, Tatler , Vogue (UK, Italia, Nippon, Russia), W, among many others

I work alone; a mega-multi-tasker.
And I make most of the gloves myself.
I fact I do everything Glovedup myself;
the press, photography, website (www.Glovedup.com), and all the dull jobs too.
It’s a DIY endeavour and I do it for glove not money.

I sell exclusively online at www.Glovedup.com
Shipping gloves all over the world, not masses, indeed not really enough!

What an inspiration. Here are some of Laura Shepherd’s lovely gloves…
