Cocosa Designer Brands at up to 80% off

I often get asked how I can afford so many designer clothes? In truth there are many ways you can have the quality and luxury of a brand without the hefty price tag. Cocosa is one of them, it is a private members only sale site offering big designer names for up to 80% off retail price.

Bauer Media's first pure e-commerce site launched October 2008 and has been a roaring success. Once membership has been approved you will be invited to shop the sales, each running for a limited period and brimming with a fabulous selection of luxury brands. They give you behind-the-scenes access to the kind of prices that only fashion insiders have previously enjoyed. The experienced team of buyers hand pick only the most covetable fashion and accessories.

Popular designers include:

Vivienne Westwood John Smedley Tom Ford Sunglasses Alexander McQueen Karl Lagerfeld Jonathan Saunders Nicole Farhi Matthew Williamson Vera Wang

As a special treat if you register on Cocosa you can take advantage of a this exclusive offer of £10 off your first purchase over £50. Simply enter the promotional code ‘luxurystyle’ at checkout to redeem the offer.

I have been a member since they started and have never been disappointed with what they have on offer. You can preview each sale the week before it opens so you can have your purse at the ready for the sale to begin - warning things sell out fast! I just went over to have a look at what sales are live this week and they include Halston Heritage, Kenneth J Lane, Betty Jackson, Matthew Williamson and Tibi!! All beautiful garments at generous discounts. I am so tempted to by a Halston Heritage bag and a KJL gold necklace right now.

From the look book should you want a designer outfit for a summer wedding or day at the races Cocosa is your place!Pearl

The Wonder of Hair Straighteners!

Maybe I am behind with the times and all that but I have never used hair straighteners. I have the straightest hair in the world, my entire family has enviably straight hair I never saw the point. That was until I last went to have my fringe trimmed and I was having a moan about how my fringe goes a wavy when it gets a bit long. She whipped out a tiny pair of hair straighteners and fixed my fringe in no time, impressive huh!
Then I see these new GHD adverts featuring Kate Perry, with beautiful waved and curled hair - did you know hair straighteners can do that too! I have been lusting after 1940's style waves for ages so I think it is time for me to try out hair straighteners after all.

I decided to have a nose around researching GHD as they are expensive, but I want a good quality pair if I am to get some. Now you know I love anything to do with anti-counterfeit information, so the GHD site was super interesting for me. I know full well that the counterfeiters had been forging GHD's for some time. In fact I saw a documentary about how dangerous the counterfeit straighteners are, they can cause burns and set on fire to name but a few dangers. Anyway I think the effots GHD have gone to, to help protect customers is excellent. You can register your straighteners with them to guarantee their authenticity and they have a function where you can enter the web site which has them for sale to check if it is an authorized retailer.
The site is also fully interactive with step-by-step styling tutorials and videos. So watch this space for some super hair styling - and if I never mention it again we will concede that I am not at all skilled with the hair styling!

Any of you have GHD's? Have you tried any of the fancy styles?

So Jackie O

The fabulous Jackie O

The people over at Mister Spex said to me, Pearl tell us which pair of sunglasses on our site are your favorite? Sure I said but before I tell you which ones I chose I will tell you a secret. Well maybe it is more of a delusional fantasy, but when I put on a pair of sunglasses I want to feel like a film star. Perhaps it is due to the fact that living Uoop Norf we rarely see the sun so it is a special occasion every time it decides to grace us. Or maybe it stems from my love of dressing up, who didn't don their dad's sunglasses as a child and jump around pretending to be a rock star? Anyway I like sunglasses, I love all the different styles, colours, designs around. Each summer there is an 'IT' pair and I really feel each style has its own persona. Like aviators for that cool cowboy style, Wayfarers for the indie chic, Prada perspex for the futuristic fashionista and of course the big, black frames for the glamour puss. It is the latter that I always turn to when it comes to choosing sunglasses. I like to hide behind their huge lenses, almost like a mask, I could be anyone, how mysterious. So you can imagine my delight when I finally decided on these Ray-ban's, to see the model was called 'Jackie O', fate I would say!

Ray-ban Jackie Ohh

Will prance around in them for you once they come!

My Stylish Friends

(Wearing: Head to toe Vivienne Westwood - except my mum who is in Chanel apart from her VW t-shirt)

I can't believe it has taken me so long to get these photo's up they were taken a couple of weeks ago on a jaunt to Leeds. Finally the time had come to go and pick up my shoes I had ordered from Vivienne Westwood. I wish I had sneaked a photo of the shoe order book, it is an amazing thing to behold, all the styles, materials and colours you can choose to custom your shoes of choice. VW do stock a selection of the shoes in the more popular styles but the ones I wanted were not available so I had them handmade to order - how exciting!



It has become a bit of a tradition for us all to dress head to toe in Westwood for our days out.

Wanna see the shoes??


Vivienne Westwood Gold Label animal toe courts in black suede.

I have wanted a pair of these shoes for ages, years even so it is very nice to finally get them. Now if it would just stop raining so I could have the chance to wear them!
I have just added a new photo album to my Facebook page featuring the stunning Tracy Emin in a selection of her Westwood looks. Tracy has such a wonderful look, very sexy in a subtle way.
