Our stunning Rocío Brooch was chosen by Vogue.com earlier this month as one its favourite fashion accessories for this spring.

And they do know what they are talking about! With leather as one of the key looks this season and the brooch making a come-back as a must-have accessory, this fabulous oversized leather flower brooch in hot pink and green is not to be missed if you want to be bang on trend.

I was giving my daughter her supper this evening when the 7 o'clock News on Channel 4 opened with the sad news of the death of Alexander McQueen.

My jaw just dropped in disbelief. Only last night, I was showing my husband a picture of the infamous 'armadillo shoes' he had made for his Spring/Summer 2010 fashion show.

The circumstances sound tragic and headlines full of speculation are flying on the internet - together with pictures of the body(!!) being carried out of the designer's flat on a stretcher...

Alexander McQueen was one of the most talented British fashion designers ever but he was also someone's son, brother, partner, friend. So today our thoughts are with those who cared about him and are now mourning his loss. May he rest in peace.

With romantic, floral prints and accessories as one of the key trends this season, you’d better not suffer from pollen allergy!

Yes, flowers, flowers and more flowers were seen on the Spring/Summer 2010 catwalks: Erdem, Moschino and Stella McCartnery, amongst others, showed them in beautiful printed dresses, Dolce & Gabbana dared with multi-floral shorts and corsets, Marc Jacobs did gorgeous printed silk skirts and Ralph Lauren showed a few 'Little House of the Prairie' kinda looks.

Oh, and let's not forget the accessories! Chanel made a 'to die for' floral version of the 2.55 bag, John Galliano opted for oversized flower brooches to adorn cleavages, waists or lapels and Viktor & Rolf did beautiful flower sandals.

With such a 'garden party' going on this season, Caradiaz couldn't stay behind and therefore our new collections include florals too in beautiful leather and semi-precious stone statement necklaces and brooches decorated with ovesized dahlias and camelias. Each item is individually hand-made by craftsmen specialised in leather goods and it can take a much a five hours to complete a piece. They are just fabulous!

So... are you going to embrace your inner ‘flower girl’ this season?

Well done, Claire!
