‘Rough & Ready’ – Didi Colley’s collection is chunks of SEA, SUN and SKY

20121008-180434.jpg

I know that the colours are reminiscent of Didi’s former Miami home, but travelling around Costa Blanca, I feel myself catching glimpses of her pieces at every turn.

It doesn’t surprise me that her celeb fan base includes Danii Minogue and Miranda Hart, who were brought up amongst the fantastic sceneries of Australia and Cornwall respectively.

Wearing one of Didi’s sunshine yellow lemon quartz and lapis nuggets set in 22k matt gold plating is like carrying your own private dream key to nature’s wonderment. I can’t really figure out what gives me the most pleasure, the roughness of the stone, the translucent colours, the smoothness of the gold plating or the natural healing properties?…and yes I do believe in all that.

Didi’s new SS13 collection is not only made up of pendants, but rings, bracelets and drop earrings, and will be available shortly from Matches, Trilogy and Kabiri in the UK.

With pricing ranging from £50 – £250, it must be my most accessibly priced dream.

‘Rough and Ready’ – Die Kollektion von Didi Colley – Stücke vom Meer, von der Sonne und dem Himmel.

Ich weiss, die Farben erinnern an den ehmaligen Miami Wohnsitz von Didi, aber während ich in der Costa Blanca herumreise, erhasche ich um jede Ecke einen Blick auf ihre Stücke.

Es überrascht mich kein bisschen, dass Danii Minogue und Miranda Hart zu ihrer Promi-Anhängerschaft gehören – schliesslich wuchsen sie in der wunderbaren Landschaft von Australien, beziehungsweise, Cornwall auf.

Wenn man einen der Zitronenen-Gelb Quartz und Lapis Nuggets, in 22k mattierter Goldauflage,  trägt, fühlt es sich an, als ob man seinen eignenen Schlüssel zur  Verwunderung der Natur hat.

Ich kann mich nicht entscheiden, was mir am meisten Freude gibt: die Ungeschliffenheit des Steins, die Lichtdurchlässige Farben, die Glätte der Goldauflage, oder die natürlichen Heilkräfte?…und ja, ich glaube an all das.

Die neue SS13 Kollektion von Didi besteht nicht nur aus Anhängern, sondern auch aus Ringe, Armbände, und Ohrgehänge. Und sie werden bald bei Matches, Trilogyund Kabiri  in Gross Britannien verfügbar sein.

I have been obsessed by jewellery as of late – but this little Terra Plana shoe find has got my feet dancing!

20120126-222229.jpg
I know they aren’t the latest model, but I think these shoes can now be truly termed classic, as Terra Plana is sadly no longer. Having been tipped off by two friends in the know, I traipsed off to Albrook Mall, Panama City – yet another one of the so-called BIGGEST shopping malls in the world. UGHHH!

Although it seemed like a mission, I found these for $29.00 at Dorians, a department store that sells brands for less! Eek! Not quite my beloved TK Maxx! I mean how did these shoes find themselves there? Maybe Silver Jack? The plot thickens…

…and in case you’re wondering, I have no idea who Silver Jack is! He appears to be a Ken and Marlborough man hybrid on the Dorians website!
