Spring has sprung.

The first sign of spring caught my eye as I was doing some yoga stretches in my living room, through the glass double doors leading to my garden I spied 2 bright pink roses. I was very tempted to pick them but then the garden would have gone back to the wintery green and brown it was before.

Ever since then flowers have popping up everywhere I go, I popped into Stephen Jones's shop to view his new collection and I must say he was looking very spring like wearing one of his berets and a matching pair of Vivienne Westwood for Melissa loafers.

Sitting resplendent in the centre of the room was this fantastic Anco Air Orchid which lives without soil, so beautiful to see all the roots it adds to the beauty of the plant. I was in love instantly and need a few of those in my life. My secret obsession is growing orchids, I have around 8 plants just on my bedroom window sill alone and many, many more dotted around the house.

My dear friend Erin held a birthday party at her house on Friday as I entered through the front door lo and behold this incredible Jessica Steinkamp installation was projected on the wall, the flowers drift from side to side as if blown by a gentle breeze. I remember seeing her magnificent installations at Freize last year, how wonderful that I can enjoy her work at Erin's house.

For me the ultimate is this exquisite Aster Brooch by Buccellati, it made up of a whopping 64.18 carat Tourmaline surrounded by 186 round brilliant diamonds and 167 rose-cut diamonds. Available at The European Fine Art Fair until 27th March but remember it's one of a kind which is just how I like it.
