Last night we raised a colourful cocktail to welcome international handbag label, Rabeanco, to their brand new Covent Garden store.

Fashion boys and girls came out to celebrate the sumptuous rainbow hued bags. Guests mingled amongst Rabeanco's soft leather purple holdalls, bright clutches and mini purses. Blogger Peony Lim took to the decks, the WAH nail girls treated the party to their usual brilliance and everyone crammed themselves inside the photo booth to out do each other with ridiculous poses. Check out our facebook page for more party-goers best Blue Steel impressions.

And drumroll please! The winner of a gorgeous Rabeanco bag is Freire Barnes. Congratulations Freire.

'If we're all adhering to Apple's creed, the act of typing is fast becoming a thing of the past. Talking -not only on the phone, but to your phone - to issue commandments such as "remind me to get milk today" and "remember the umbrella" is the way we're heading, and our digits play no part in this scenario.

If Apple's trend track record is anything to go by, we can therefore look forward to increased noise pollution and a well-deserved thumb break. So, with no typing role to fulfill, and early retirement on the horizon, reward your forlorn fingers with rings cast in the hottest new metal around; rhodium.

This gunmetal grey beauty of a material is the antidote to gold and the only colour jewellery worth reaching for if you're looking for instant style credentials. My picks this week include Kasia Piechocka's Sapphire Weight Ring (above), Anabel Campbell's scrolling Honeysuckle Ring, Emilie Morris' Rat Jaw Ring and the Interlocking Ring from my own Typhoon Palace collection.

After all, as the late, great Steve Job's said, 'For you to sleep well at night, the aesthetic, the quality, has to be carried all the way through'. These delights certainly do just that, all the while giving off an unmissable undercurrent of cool.

To celebrate its arrival at Harrods' Fine jewellery room, leading pearl company Mikimoto has designed the Mikimoto Rose Petal collection. As a Harrods exclusive the range features Japanese Akoya pearls surrounded by ruby, pink sapphire and diamond set in 18kt white gold.

Comprising a multifunctional necklace (the rose can be positioned at any point to create a lariat-style strand, or the two clasps closed to form a classic necklace) and a pair of earrings, the collection marks an auspicious launch into the world famous department store.
