If you still need a little gift for Mother`s Day, I will recommend having a look at www.net-à-porter.com, www.mytheresa.com or www.colette.fr. There you can find lovely fashionable presents to thank your Mums. Just one comfortable click from your desk plus express shipping and you will have a wonderful surprise for Sunday. My favourites are the Lanvin earrings, the Smythson jewelry box and above all a handwritten card or poem. The best comes from the heart and is in general priceless…

Here she comes, the last one out of three: The Anemone Barbie® by Christian Louboutin. The most glamourous of the trio is completing this limited edition collector`s set with a visit to the Cannes Film Festival. In a statement-making gown and of course some stunning heels by the famous shoe maestro, there is no doubt you will be falling head over heels for this red carpet diva. Available from today at net-à-porter.

Here she comes: The new Barbie® by Christian Louboutin called Dolly Forever. This time she is wearing a khaki mini dress (showing the safari trend for summer), sunglasses, gold extras and the absolutely gorgeous Forever Tina fringed boots. Naturally our little fashionista is accompanied by 3 extra pairs of red-soled mini Louboutins, each with their own shoe box and bag. She seems to enjoy her adventure in Paris a lot.
If you are interested, you can order the cute redhead online. The last of the three limited editions is to be launched in May to the Cannes Film Festival. I will keep you posted!

As I have never outgrown my passion for Barbie dolls, this one is on top of my wishlist for Christmas: The Cat-burglar Barbie® by Christian Louboutin. Launched this December and first in a series of three, she received a complete head-to-toe Parisian make-over as envisioned by Christian Louboutin: “She needed great shoes, a thinner ankle and, to me, as I’m obsessed with feet, a foot more curved.”
The master of fabulous footwear completed her black cat-suit with four different versions of his statement red-soled heels that all come with miniature shoe boxes and cloth shoe bags (how adorable!!!). Also included with every one of the first Barbie® by Christian Louboutin limited edition dolls is a chic collectable calendar that documents all their jet-setting adventures together. Barbie “went” to Paris for one year exploring the designer`s ultra-fashionable life and visiting all his favourite places.
In February a safari-themed Barbie® by Christian Louboutin will be launched and the series will be completed in May with a creation dedicated to the Cannes Film Festival. If you do not want to miss them out, go to www.net-a-porter.com.
Merry X-mas to all of you! May all of your wishes come true…
LoL, Sandra
