Kate: The Kate Moss Book

We have found the perfect gift for fashion lovers at Christmas and it comes in the form of 20 years of Kate Moss in one book. We are pretty sure it is going to be worth every penny of the £50 it is priced at and will be the perfect coffee table book. The glossy hardback covers Kate's modelling career in 30 wonderful photos . Interestingly, the book was co-edited by Kate's ex-boyfriend, Jefferson Hack and it will be published with 8 unique covers. It illustrates and captures her intriguing and unparalleled career.

Sir John Soane Museum

Stuck for something cheap to do to in London this weekend, then hop on over to the Sir John Soane Museum. It is a mishmash of wonderful treasures and it is safe to say Sir John Soane really knew how to decorate a home. The 19th Century architect knocked down and re-built three terrace houses to house his home-made museum. He constantly remodeled the houses and this is evident as you make your way through the maze of art and ancient artifacts  including an Ancient Egyptian Tomb to name one. The best thing is, it is completely free entry and only a short walk from Holborn underground station.

Secret Escapes, London

Last weekend I booked a hotel through Secret Escapes, to be honest I didn't expect much but found a beautiful little hotel - La Suite West. It is small, but clever design has created a functional room with a luxury feel. With a four poster bed the room feels intimate but the shutter dividers reveal storage, coffee facilities and wardrobe space. There is beautiful food, helpful staff and a comfortable night sleep on offer. Of course no luxury hotel is complete without a marble bathroom, rain shower and Molton Brown toiletries. For those of you who want to stay somewhere different, book a room quick, the discount is available again this weekend on Secret Escapes.

Open House London

This weekend, across London doors were opened. Open House London is a great festival held every year, in which some great hidden architecture is open to the public. There is a diverse range of places to visit. On our list this Saturday was the Freemason's Hall in Holborn, the bell tower of a small church in Bethnal Green, the exhibition space in a small fabric shop on Broadway Market and the roof of popular gig venue Village Underground in Shoreditch. The best thing is, it was all free and there were plenty of photo opportunities.

A Love Potion

Fragrance is extremely close to our hearts here at rose tinted, we have our signature wears and it is rare we come across a fragrance that makes us re-think our choices. DSquared2 Potion for woman launches nationwide from October and it really is the perfect combination of style and scent. A sensual and addictive fragrance with blackcurrant and violet in the top notes, rose and lily-of-the-valley in the heart and the warmth of vanilla, rhubarb and musk in the base. A fragrance that is noticed when you walk in a room, for all of the right reasons, a new signature scent - go and try, trust us you will not be disappointed.

Coloured Crochet

No longer reserved for old ladies houses, colourful versions of the beloved crochet blanket are keeping the trendiest of legs warm as the temperatures drop - these blankets by Rocket & Bear are pricey but more than worth it, hand-made by a very talented lady in Bath and packaged in there very own canvas bag.

LFW TAKEOVER - Day 5

Todays online highlight was by far, the Mulberry Poodle. We were not concentrating on the model but the friend she brought along. Dressed in a matching outfit the Mulberry Poodle almost stole the show on the final day of LFW 2012. The collection itself created by Emma Hill was engulfed by Springs pastel colours and gecko motifs. This was also one of the most start studded shows of the week with the likes of Kate Moss, Alexa Chung, Lana Del Rey and Olivia Palermo on the front row.

Mulberry - Catch Up Here

Meadham Kirchhoff - Two young designer, watch this show for the circus spectacle alone, bright and unique - Catch Up Here 

Simone Rocha - So very pretty, you will want it to be Spring 2013 now! Peter Pan collars, lace and flattering silhouettes - Catch up Here
