Yesterday I visited Kohls and discovered a diffusion line from a designer better known for her stunning bridal collections over in the UK. Vera Wang, the much loved bridal couture specialist has a great range of clothes and accessories suitable for everyday. Wang's label entitled Simply Vera Wang is exclusive to Kohls and I instantly fell in love with these gladiator inspired Didi Dress sandals, perfect for toughening up summer dresses and skirt suits.

I've opted for the pewter colour which looks great against tanned skin, adding a little sparkle to your feet. I was particularly impressed with the price! On sale at just $28.99, this purchase was a steal! I still can't believe how extra affordable everything is in New York, compared to London's shops and boutiques. Check out the Kohls website for more information on Simply Vera Wang.

Tomorrow I'll be heading over to New York for some sun, shopping and a little bit of work in between. To celebrate, I'll be dedicating next week's blog entries to all my findings and fun in NY - consider it a 'Internationally Stylish Week'. I'll keep you updated as often as I can via the blog and twitter whilst in the big apple!

London weather has been blissful this week, the sun has been gracing us with its beams and we've thrown off our winter coats to bask in the warmth that is Spring. And when the sun comes out to play, lollies and ice creams are the most delicious accessories. Today I was in search of some gourmet ice cream and stopped at Oddono's Gelati Italiani. There's something special about this place that keeps me coming back every spring/summer.

Firstly, I love the range, the choice of flavours. In fact there are 30 flavours, including cinnamon, basil, chocolate and cognac, vodka lemon, honey, chocolate ginger and chili ice cream. The best sellers are Chocolate, Nocciola (Hazelnut), Bacio (milky chocolate and hazelnut).

I also love the fact that the family run business creates their dessert masterpieces by sourcing the finest natural ingredients from around the world: Vanilla pods from Madagascar, Valhrona Chocolate from France, Natural Pistachios from Sicily, Hazelnut from Piedmont, the list goes on. If you're ever in Kensington, this is the place to go for a taste that's best described as ice cream heaven.
