Where The Heart Is (at Sir Alistair Rai)

TM-L02-2




As we blissfully await in anxious anticipation for the big V DAY, I think it's safe to say that my heart and mind have currently been all about "pretty in pink" things and lovey-dovey kinds of gestures. I just can't seem to help my sappy, clichéd mentality these past few days. Sorry people. Interestingly though, this highly romantic state of mind is inevitably trickling down to my innate fashion senses, leading me to scope out some hot, must-have pieces for the month of February, which just might add a little loving smile to my closet.

After doing my ritual visits to the Fashion & Style section of the NY Times, I was pleasantly greeted by an enticing article featuring Sir Alistair Rai's sweet new accessories (which I must get my hands on, pronto!). Clearly, at first glance, I've instantly fallen for her Tri Mantra Love Scarf and Honeymoon Clutch. With the subtle, alluring designs of "love" and a heart etched on the corner of each piece, I might have no other option than to make my Valentine's Day purchases as a little gift to myself. For one, I love the laid back ease and colour of Rai's lovely scarf, and the vintage photo element featured on her chic black and white Honeymoon clutch. Thankfully, my trusty shopping fave, Creative Contrast, now has them readily available for me to instantaneously scoop up. Cannot wait!

Angelically Liberating with Matta

By irinaark · January 13, 2010 · 0 Comments · 4 Views




As I peruse all the frilly, vibrant colour palettes and styles of Matta's sweet, "angelically-infused" scarves, I can't help imagining myself copping one in every single texture, design, and ombre-styled hue, sweeping it around my neck, while retreating to one of my personal, laidback "ultra-chill" spots and unwinding with a cup of tea, or possibly a glass of wine at hand. As silly as it may sound, these are one of the little, heavenly images I like to make for myself when I find precious, chic pieces that inspire me.

It's no doubt how Cristina Gitti, founder and designer of Matta, prides herself on spot-on, uniquely handmade designs, which prove that each and every piece brings along something quite special to the table. I can't seem to place my finger on it-- whether it's the use of colours, especially the light ombre, transitioning shades of mauve or citrus, frilly, pom pom features of Matta's Dupatta scarves, or simply the designer's overall approach to free-flowing, beautiful designs that each reflect Gitti's inspirations through her many travels.

Nowadays, whenever I make my little fashion "personal, must-have" purchases I tend to place a bit more thought and emphasis into what I buy, not so much on whether it's the new trend of the season (so I must have it), but rather the quality, thought, and special beauty that were established in it's work. While many of us at one point or another used to be fashion "pack rats" for the sake of our wardrobes (I know I have!), it's a much better feeling these days to actually appreciate a timeless piece of fashion that possesses some character and come away feeling fulfilled with an exceptional purchase -- and Gitti's Matta scarves simply convey these thoughts of mine in every sense of the word.

Her scarves are quite rare to come by, but luckily, I was able to scope a range of gorgeous ones at Creative Contrast, with many priced lower than other retailers. Thank the heavens! Matta, you will be mine!

Animal Prints and Florals Dominate This Spring

By irinaark · April 13, 2009 · 0 Comments · 4 Views
"The warmer weather brings our inner animal out of hibernation. So it only seems natural that you should express your ferocious style with some bright and bold animal print. Don't worry, we won't bite... hard" - this is the way the fashion press describes the runway trends this Spring.


Many top designers combine animal prints with feminine florals to complement bold animal designs with softer, more intricate flower prints. This Spring's runway fashion presents many beautiful interpretations of this theme, with leopard, zebra and cheetah prints combined with flower designs in both bold colors and more muted gray and blue hues.

Many celebs, like Paris Hilton and Eva Longoria are spotted in animal and floral prints.I love this beautiful dress on Paris!

For those of us who cannot to splurge on hot couture, I found two new gorgeous Tolani scarves in pure 100% cashmere at an affordable price. These scarves are made in delicious leopard prints combined with exotic flower details. Both of these styles from the brand new Spring Collection from Tolani are available at Creative Contrast for $145. Use the promo code SPRINGTIME to get an additional 10% off!
