Pussy Glamore has fast won itself the title of being the stylish girl’s choice of sexy, sophisticated lingerie and now its young designer, Marissa Montgomery, has created a new exciting headband collection named ‘Hair Lingerie’ to capture the prolonged folk trend currently favoured by top designers.

In keeping with Pussy Glamore’s playful, feminine look, the floral themed headpieces and daisy-chain inspired bands in delicate gold are perfect for lazy beach strolls and summer nights. In other designs, alluring Swarovski crystals embellish floral and bird motif headbands in colours of emerald green and sumptuous red, showing Marissa’s eye for detail and versatility.

Marissa, the daughter of celebrated international photographer David Montgomery, famous for shooting the cover of Jimi Hendrix’s Electric Ladyland album, has already gained a cult celebrity following with the likes of rock royalty Leah Wood, Elizabeth Jagger and Peaches Geldof endorsing her ultra sexy luxe lingerie line, and having proved her design credentials the new headbands are sure to be a must have for the summer. Available now, prices start from £105.

Why not combine horticulture and retail therapy the week of the Chelsea Flower Show. Sloane in Bloom has invited chic boutiques to pit themselves against each other by creating floral window displays that will be judged by the Royal Horticultural Society and the Sloane Association. This takes the art of window dressing to new heights and there is no price for enjoying the spectacle – it is absolutely free.

Jo Malone will transform their flagship store into a floral wonderland from May 18th for a week. The theme for this year’s display, which won for the last two years in a row (last year saw a charming confection of white and pale pink flowers including Lily of the Valley, Liz Earle remarked on her blog at the time, ‘The deserving winner was Jo Malone for her magnificent scented arrangements’), will be inspired by the story of the Jo Malone Red Roses Collection (see above). Other hopeful stores taking part in this years overall theme of elegance, are Tiffany’s, Hermes and Bulgari.

Shoppers can take a seat at the Tasting Bar where a Jo Malone stylist will be on hand to help you find that elusive signature summer scent – perfect for long holiday evenings. You will be treated to a luxe hand and arm massage with the divine smelling Red Roses body lotion and while you are a guest in the store you can indulge in a floral inspired tea menu of rosehip champagne cocktails, herbal teas and scrumptious rose cupcakes.

There is no doubting Naomi Campbell’s humanitarian efforts on the charity front. Always heavily involved in high-profile events, her projects have included Fashion Relief, the South African branch of Live Earth, Nelson Mandela’s charity 46664 – she calls him ‘grandfather’ – and now it appears the PM’s wife, Sarah Brown, is the latest patsy to be seduced by Campbell, announcing that she has personally chosen the shouty supermodel as the global ambassador and spokesperson for the White Ribbon Alliance For Safe Motherhood.

Curious goings on at 10 Downing Street indeed, did someone accidentally misinform Mrs Brown of Campbell’s true nature? Moreover Brigid McConville, the UK director for White Ribbon Alliance, has said: ‘Naomi will be a great ambassador for White Ribbon Alliance because she is the embodiment of this great spirit of creativity, positive energy and womanhood.’

If you can objectively describe all of Campbell’s public outbursts as embodying the positive energy of womanhood then you must possess either a vivid  imagination or are completely barmy. Even Mandela had the sense to ban her from presenting his concert in aid of his birthday last summer after a particularly embarrassing performance at Heathrow airport where she was reported to have kicked and spat at police officers.

There is no doubting that if celebrity ambassadors can raise awareness for a charity that it is a good use of their otherwise sterile time however, there are surely a small handful of glamorous, beautiful celebrities with the same pull as Campbell who would be glad to lend their name to such a worthy cause.

Stars Scarlett Johansson, Gwyneth Paltrow and Natalie Portman are all known for fronting charitable causes or if it is British blood they are after why not choose someone with a bit of substance like the graceful and now global phenomenon that is Frieda Pinto. Notably and most unfortunate for White Ribbon, Keira Kinghtley was bagged by Women’s Aid earlier this year, when she played the role of a domestic violence victim in a video for their new campaign.

But one has to question the choices made here when you consider that the face of a new and important charity venture is a mobile throwing, diva who has serious anger issues. Let’s only hope this is the start of a new chapter for Campbell and she can take on her new role with gusto and without being plagued by her own ego.

Former Senior Editor at Harpers threw a soiree at The Langham for the launch of her book A Partial Indulgence last night. Snow Queen vodka cocktails were flowing as was the conversation which was buzzing between guests all evening.

The curly-haired writer told The Handbook it was important to take risks when writing, well she did recently take a swipe at a few celebrities when she wrote a piece for the Daily Mail recently about her party days, and then thanked everybody heartily for coming before sitting in a corner with her proud mum and dad on the sofa at the back signing books for them.

Immodesty Blaize, daring designer Pam Hogg and friends hobnobbed at the bar while rock jeweller Stephen Webster, who is opening a new flagship store in a few weeks, and his glamourous wife were looking tanned and healthy from flying all around the globe on business.

Glamourous lingerie company Fred&Ginger has announced the arrival of their online bridal boutique, providing brides-to-be with a sumptuous array of antique ivory intimate apparel for their big day.

The collection, designed by Victoria Holt, draws on the glamour and sophistication of the 1950′s, combining French silk satins, crinkle chiffons, Chantilly lace and the somewhat more modern stand-by, Swarovski crystals. Holt has great experience of the fashion industry, having worked at the international fashion house Jenny Packham. She is now producing Fred&Ginger, a unique brand that reflects past elegance whilst appealing to a contemporary audience.

The collection is made up of both combination sets and single pieces,  all designed in classic silhouettes and offering a wealth of choice, from kimono gowns and camisoles to corsets and French knickers. All pieces are designed and made in the UK, and retail from £65 – £280.
