<div style="text-align: justify;">
I created a new board on my <a href="http://pinterest.com/schmoozemuse/">pinterest</a> today called '<a href="http://pinterest.com/schmoozemuse/">Jewellery Box</a>', so I can add things that I know I would wear, but also what I admire and wish I could have! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I've found myself wearing mostly gold for the last few years (my grandmothers wish), and so happy there are finally so many designers out there now who are creating beautiful, creative gold pieces. When it comes to my jewellery, I'm not too bothered about following trends. It's really important how each piece makes me feel, and how I connect to it. </div>

I remember when they first opened, and now six years later, they still leave me with the feeling they buy their collections for me. When I popped in I wanted to buy everything! You can create the perfect capsule wardrobe or just add a few pieces that you know you can invest in. I've picked some of my 'need it now' pieces from their jewellery collection...</div>

Yes, The Diamond Jubilee is a week away...and hopefully you've got everything sorted out for your party (panic and mayhem set in yet??!)...the bunting, the tableware, the menu..but wait...haven't you forgotten about the most important person in your life?!<br />
<br />
Yes, I'm sure your furry friend will be joining in the fun of it, getting utterly spoilt by all your guests, dipping into the leftovers and, well, if they are anything like Le Cat, they'll find a quiet little corner and most probably snooze for the day! <br />
<br />
As we all know, we're a pet loving nation, and the Queen herself wouldn't have anything less for her Corgi's, so here's a few fun things I found to share!<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I went to an inspiring art exhibition last Sunday. '</span><a href="http://www.theotherartfair.com/"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Other Art Fair</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">' was housed in what almost looked like a secret hideaway, tucked away around the corner of the University of Westminister, on Marylebone Road, London. Here, up and coming artists sold their work directly to the public, prices starting from £50 onwards. It was an energising experience, where gifted unsigned artists got the chance to introduce and talk directly about their art and vision to people who were there to buy or have a casual wander of curiosity. A yearly event, 'The Other Art Fair' is targeted to both art lovers and the not so in-the-know but who have a chance to possibly just buy something they are drawn to.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There was such a diverse range of artists' and their work there, from fine art to abstract, prints to sculptures, all with one thing in common...sharing their thoughts about their work on a personal level. I will definitely go to <a href="http://www.theotherartfair.com/">The Other Art Fair</a> again next year. You get the chance to talk one to one with the artist of whom's work you would actually want to buy, and after all, the artist I'm sure would want you to keep it for life and build memories from it.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">The unconventional approach that Keira takes with expressing her art comes in the form of a typewriter. She creates beautiful and intelligent art works, all 'drawn' from the simplistic keys/letters of a typewriter. In today's modern age of technology, going back to an almost forgotten tool such as a typewriter and creating images that are inspired by people and her surroundings is creative and inventive. There was much hustle and bustle at Keira's stand at The Other Art Fair, people were intrigued as was I.</span></div>

I was taken aback by the strikingly beautiful works of Rosie Emerson. Stunning imagery of elongated forms of the female body. What is evident is the femininity and power within the works she creates, some almost mystical like. Rosie's works have been sited in many major publications such as The Independant, Vogue and Harpers Bazaar, and the fashion world have embraced her for her 'Alchemy' portfolio (2011), in which she had collaborated with Jewelry designer Annoushka Ducas. Rosie works through different mediums, such as, ink, collage and acrylic. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Maybe it's be Cos (see what I done there? Ha! :) I spent a year in Stockholm, that I drift towards more subtle yet stylish designs, but there's something about Swedish labels that are not only trustworthy (not in the boring sense at all), but you know that you are investing in a timeless piece.<br />
<br />
With a flash of eye popping colour amongst mostly muted, minimalist tones and design, <a href="http://www.cosstores.com/">Cos</a> (Collection of Style), one of the five sister labels from the <a href="http://www.hm.com/gb/">H&M</a> group, really are becoming the true leaders of affordable fashion on the high street at the moment. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Offering affordable, ready to wear designs (Women, Men's and Children) here in London, (oddly opening in Stockholm after!) and expanding internationally, they are flying the Swedish fashion flag and going from strength to strength since 2007, and so if you didn't know about Cos, where have you been right? Their latest opening is in Milan - yes my jealousy creeped up as I watched my Twitter feed in a frenzy last night with people attending their Press night!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Don't be fooled by the simplicity of some of their designs and opt for basics elsewhere at a cheaper price point...if you want quality (as you deserve!), you will see that <a href="http://www.cosstores.com/">Cos</a> are passionate about thinking fabric, detail and investment pieces to fill your wardrobe. The mantra 'Less is More' rings true, and yet they also excite with their more innovative and trend led designs. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And if the H&M brand weren't spoiling us enough with Scandinavian cool (think Cheap Monday, Monki, and Weekday), it seems, <a href="http://www.vogue.co.uk/news/2012/03/27/hm-to-launch-own-luxury-label">as reported last month</a>, we will see '&OtherStories', the luxurious new label from H&M, set to launch in 2013! Can't wait!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Until then, I'll leave you with my picks of the week....Simply be Cos....</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
So you know when you buy just one little thing...and it sets off this frenzy that you neeeed to have more in your life. It used to be shoes for me. I would love a pair, and have to have them in at least two other colours..oh and scarves/shawls...my trips to India since a teenager have done that. I have shelves in my wardrobe dedicated to them, and vacuum packed (large) bags stored as I just don't have the room! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Well, the other day, I popped into my local secondhand store, and I was drawn to a small, pretty tile. It was the femininity, the simplicity of the bird and it also reminded me of a henna design that made me smile. It also goes perfectly with some blue glass bottles I brought home from Spain a few years ago. Think I'm on roll!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
A jump from my usual grey options, if I only buy one bag this Spring/Summer, then it has to be this green satchel from UK based <a href="http://www.cambridgesatchel.co.uk/shop/collections/the-classic">The Cambridge Satchel Company</a> . At a steal £74, it's worth investing in more than one..after all, they have an array of neon colours for SS12 and I can't resist the <a href="http://www.cambridgesatchel.co.uk/shop/collections/new-for-2012">Graphite Grey</a> it's a-calling!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For a personalised touch, they also offer an in house <a href="http://www.cambridgesatchel.co.uk/shop/embossing">embossing</a> service too!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Meandering through my weekly online shop, I came across <a href="http://www.glassboutique.co.uk/">www.glassboutique.co.uk</a> based in Brick Lane, London. A smaller store within the online market place, holding sixteen brands for both men and women, Scandinavian labels sit comfortably with Parisian, US and British brands. There is a simplicity and effortlessly understated cool to their handpicked choices with guaranteed staples in your wardrobe and being a smaller business, they don't compromise on their customer service, as I experienced when I gave them a call to enquire about something, they were friendly and the 'can do' attitude came across, which is imperative these days within such a competitive market. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Right now, they have an amazing Mid Season sale - up to 70% off! And their shipping costs are low and affordable too - as a bonus, Standard Delivery within the UK is free with orders over £40. Get in there quick, there are limited sizes, but fret not, newness coming in within two weeks.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It's always important to support the smaller boutiques and Independents, and that includes online. I'm excited to see what's to come with Glass Boutique...for now, I'll leave you with my fave pieces!</div>

I love stumbling across old photographs, especially one's of family. I can spend hours going through albums..and although the present digital world and the instagram takeover makes it so easy for us all to snap our moments and memories, there was nothing like the anticipation and thrill that came with processing or receiving photographs, as though it were a gift.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I have always been drawn to grey. Every year the thought 'I'm going to add some colour in my wardrobe' immerges, but not much materialises from it, and I 'end up' (well, want) mostly grey pieces..mixed with white or black! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I stumbled across this a while back on a lovely blog <a href="http://www.conversationpieces.co.uk/2009/10/23/friday-im-in-love-with-grey-2/">www.conversationpieces.co.uk</a> as I was looking for ideas to garnish a grey wall (no surprise there!) where I was living in Stockholm last year. It was a sign in a shop window in Islington..but I am going to have it in my future home for sure...</div>

Location: Hötorget<br />
Name: Marcel Pacheco<br />
<br />
Marcel, an art student, loves life, art and music, in particular genres such as hip hop, samba, bosa nova, and jazz. Born in Sweden with Brazilian heritage, his beautiful hair is difficult not to swoon over! His style inspirations come from old movies and Japanese animation films. In Stockholm, he likes to shop at Beyond Retro, Weekday, Myrorna, Stockholm Stadmission and vintage stores. <br />
<br />
Style is unique and personal, with fashion often being overpowered by the seasonal trends, and so Marcel tells me "Everything is subjective, creativity comes in any form" which explains why his favourite quote is by Pablo Picasso: "Ah, good taste! .... Taste is the enemy of creativity". <br />

Film director and Screen Writer Per is casually and effortlessly stylish. His work takes him all over the world, so he likes nothing better than to spend time at home, a 'homebody' as he describes himself, when in Stockholm. His Fall/Winter palette represents a blend of colour and textured harmonies - the refined and timeless cord blazer, the classic Trilby and lifting it all together with one of this seasons' key colours, orange and blue checked shirt. A 'Heritage' look for all to be inspired by. <br />

<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="color: #ff6600;"><span style="color: #666666;">19 year old student Julia, gives a nod to the people around her and the Swedish bloggers for her style inspiration. She loves to shop and other than the brands she is wearing she includes Monki, Weekday and vintage finds amongst her ‘go to’ style buys. With her Fall ’11 short hair, 90′s inspired ‘Flatform’ shoes and the ‘all black is never enough’ mantra, she states youthful, style and confidence.</span> </span><br />
</span><span style="color: #ff6600;"><span style="color: #666666;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #ff6600;"><span style="color: #666666;">Black dominated the runways for Fall again, but that’s ok,we don’t mind, as although wearing all black can sometimes look heavy and drained, Julia shows that mixing the textures creates dimension and focus on each piece worn. Stockholmers’, you never disappoint on the style stakes…’</span> </span><br />

These days that seems to suffice, and 'just is' the way we operate, which is thoughtful in these busy times I guess, and brings a smile to my face, but I used to be a 'post-er'...that's the generation I come from. I used to spend ages in a card shop, picking out the 'right' card for someone.<br />
<br />
Getting a letter or card from somebody you know is always appreciated, and to give somebody a thoughtful card, that you have spent time choosing, is equally as rewarding. And sometimes, when I see what I know is a funny card by it's picture, but don't yet understand the Swedish punchline, it's just not as much fun giving it, even after I ask the sales person or a Swedish friend 'what does that mean?'.<br />
<br />
So when I stumbled across <a href="http://www.fikatown.com/">FikaTown</a>, a 'Boutique Greeting Card' company based in Stockholm, it got me thinking, (and got my guilt surfacing), that I need to get back to sending cards. Especially now I'm in Stockholm, and all of my loved ones are not! <br />
That doesn't mean that I won't stop greeting online or by a phone call, a lot of my friends and I have an unspoken rule of not sending cards anymore, (like a comfortable silence) and that's ok, (or at least I think it is??!!)...and to be honest I don't have many of my friends' addresses anymore (oh gawd I'm digging a deeper hole than I need to!!!). I guess what I'm trying to say is, I am going to try and make more of an effort! <br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.fikatown.com/">Fika Town</a> cards are perfect for those who you know in Stockholm...or a Swedish friend or loved one abroad, and actually if they're not Swedish, it gives them an insight into your Swedish world!<br />
They've hit the nail on the head when it comes to spotting the things we first notice about Stockholm, a play on cultural happenings and keeping it simple and humorous with their designs. <br />
<br />
The cards come in six different collections: <br />
'Fika', 'Style', 'Wedding', 'Stereo', 'Birthday' and 'Baby'. Pretty much covers the niceties of life. I love how positive and fun their company seems to stand for. Their website <a href="http://www.fikatown.com/">www.fikatown.com</a> is clean, easy to get around, informative, and makes you smile. They can even personalise your cards if you get in contact with them. These are a few of my faves....<br />
