Chopard: Disney Princess Haute Joaillerie

Chopard Haute Joaillerie:
Disney Princess Collection

I know what you're thinking, "what's the deal with this sudden obsession over Disney-inspired posts? What's this, the third one so far?" To be honest, I have no idea. It just seems that both retailers and myself can't quite get enough of Disney, Princesses or indeed fantasy itself this AW season. Whatever the reason, I'm not complaining, as anything Disney gets a thumbs up from me all year round!

If you haven't heard of the Swiss luxury jewellery brand Chopard before, you probably will on the run up to Christmas this year, as they will be showcasing their Haute Joaillerie collection inspired by Disney Princesses throughout the month of December in Harrods, to accompany their Disney Princess Christmas window displays. The ten piece collection will feature necklaces, rings, earrings and broaches inspired by the likes of Cinderella, Tiana, Mulan and Sleeping Beauty and are absolutely stunning. Each piece is vibrant with colour and sparkle and is the perfect accompaniment to both Christmas and Harrods Disney themed Christmas displays. I think I've managed to narrow it down to my top three pieces, but you can see them all by clicking here.

I think I'm drawn to Sleeping Beauty's earrings the most because of their bright colour (a contradiction for someone who prefers to wear head to toe black, eh?) and cute little bejeweled birds: it's just very sweet!

What are your thoughts on the collection? Do you have a favourite piece?

A Display Fit For A Princess

Harrods Christmas Display;
Fit For A Princess

Nothing pleases me more than fashion and fairy tales  so when the two collide together to grace the window's of Harrods annual Christmas display, I can't help but get all giddy with delight. Everyone knows that when it comes to this festive time of year, retailers in London as well as other fashion capitols around the world start to reveal some of the most magnificent window displays we've ever seen. Harrods is one of said retailers and this year it's set to be magical by the help of some well known designers in the fashion industry.

The concept? For top designers - including Oscar de la Renta, Valentino & Versace - to redesign a dress for each Disney princess and have them displayed as of November 1st. It gets better: there's even a 7,000 sq ft Disney Princess pop-up store on the 4th floor which is open to the public as of now! I was actually thinking of taking a trip down to London for the Christmas markets this year, but now that i've heard about Harrods Disney Princess display, I definitely have to. 

There are ten designs to be put on show, however I've chosen my top five to show you here. If you want to see them all, just pop on over to Pinterest by clicking HERE.
