I have always been a huge fan of gingham, it doesn’t matter if it’s a picnic blanket or a playsuit it’s just one of those summer prints that makes me happy. Love these D&G sunglasses!

Red or Dead Eye Ball
Posted by Rebekah Roy on October 8th, 2008
I went to a wonderful event for Red or Dead at Home House in central London. Red or Dead designs footwear, watches, handbags, sunglasses but tonight was all about spectacles. The presentation was truly unique as you could view the spectacles at eye level – (if you’re 5′ 2") and you can easily see all the detail. Most of the shape were rectangular which actually suits a wide variety of face shapes. Some of the prints were amazing from edgy black & white frames to lipstick & leopard prints.
It’s amazing how important eyewear has become. It can completely change how you look. It gives you a specific style the moment you put on a pair of glasses. I think if you wear glasses it would be great to have three pairs. You might think three pairs are extravagant but this collection is quite reasonably priced and available at Specsavers.
This fabric and print was created especially for Red or Dead eyewear and will be used as part of the packaging.
Chocolate martinis, mojitos and the most delectable h’orderves, everything from mini quiches to hamburgers, fish & chip and even shepherds pie. I was stuffed but of course I couldn’t resist the chocolate martinis!
Clare Copland, on the left designed the dresses for the Red or Dead event! Creative director Katie Greenyer is in the middle and wearing one of the dress with a great leather belt. How fab is she! She’s been the creative director for 16 years and has over 600 pairs of shoes, and of course some great handbags!
We are wearing the invites for the event. The marketing is all very cheeky but very clever – very Red or Dead.
The team from On|Off are great fans of Katey’s; you’d understand she’s the kind of girl that once you’ve met her you just become a fan. Lee Lapthorne is on the far left, then one of the prs from Chase, Clare Copland, Katey Greenyer and uber cool Diana Findlay.
Bridget Marsh on the left, is from Cosmopolitan.co.uk and beauty writer Katie Corcoran is from Handbag.com. Love this site, it’s been around for 10 year!
Would you wear glasses as a fashion accessory?

Zink Canada Interview – School of Rock
Posted by Rebekah Roy on October 5th, 2008
Well, I have to say I feel very hip seeing myself in one of my favourite magazines! This is from the autumn issue of Zink Canada.
When Zink magazine said they’d like to interview me I was quite delighted and they asked for a picture of me so I sent them a typical headshot. Then they asked for something more editorial…hmm…I thought it would be fun to work with a Canadian team who live in London so Rachel Jones did my hair & make up and Christopher Dadey did the photography. It was quite fun doing the shoot for Zink although it was very very weird being on the other side of the camera. We shot around Carnaby Street -one of my favourite areas of London and even had a nice lunch in one of the cafes. I was a bit uncomfortable at first but as the day progresses I felt more at ease. Just dressing up was so much fun. I’ve always wanted to wear one of Manish Arora’s dresses but never felt that I had the right occasion; I felt like a super hero when I wore the sunglasses and the pink & silver dress!

Lily Allen goes Blond
Posted by Rebekah Roy on April 19th, 2008
(Photo by Bauer-Griffin) I was a bit shocked to see Lily Allen as a blond but the more I look at her, the more I like it. I have never been a blond and with my olive skin tones I don’t think it’s for me. I’ve had all sorts of colours in my hair. When I was at university every time I dyed some fabric I’d stick my head in the vat, it was mainly pink and orange. I tried to dye it navy blue once but the colour didn’t really stay in. Recently I had a friend who bought some hair dye from Boots and she didn’t do the 48 hour dye test – how many of us really do? Anyway she had an allergic reaction to the hair dye – her whole face was completely swollen! It took a couple of weeks for all the swelling to go down. So either do the test or go to the pros! 
I love this picture of Lily with the Chanel sunglasses. These glasses are fab, they are the Chanel round retro style frames with the quilted temples, style 5120. Dying your hair is great fun and it changes how you look completely. Did you ever wonder why most make over programmes wait until the last moment to show the hair and make up? I’ve always felt that hair is your biggest accessory: a good cut is essential and colouring your hair creates an instant change – a brand new look!

Premiere Classe – Paris Fashion Week
Posted by Rebekah Roy on March 2nd, 2008
I really enjoyed Premiere Classe. I love accessories and the selection was overwhelming – there are over 300 vendors; there were 3 glove exhibitors, 79 shoes designers, 80 jewellery designers, 51 hat designers, 81 bag designers plus scarf, sunglasses and umbrella designers! I think it’s so difficult to be a buyer!!!
Amy from Comfort Station has been showing at Premiere Classe for several seasons!
