Gaga over the Paparazzi from Rags to Bitches

Rags to Bitches is a what I call a destination boutique, the kind of place thats well worth hopping on a train to find no matter how far away you live. Stylists to Helen Mirren, Colleen Rooney, Lily Allen, Celine Dion and Alexa Chung have all rummaged in this treasure chest.I love the basement workshop complete with live pattern cutters and machinists beavering away for the boutiques made-to-measure bespoke service. Co founders Flic and Simon believe that cakes and cocktails should be on the NHS, you gotta love that! They host regular boutique events featuring, yes you guessed it .cake and cocktails, alongside sewing lessons, live DJs and this month the chance to win a ruby would you believe! Check out dates for events at www.rags-to-bitches.co.uk. And from Rags to Ragazza (the Italian word for girl). Inspired by an inherited vintage clutch and her Italian roots, former lawyer Zoe Halfon created one of my favourite clutch handbag labels, Papa Razzi! Zoe thinks her clutches which come in a variety of colours and designs are like Italian women, effortlessly chic yet fun and sassy ! Id have to agree and so do pop stars and royalty as seen on both Rihanna and the Coutess of Wessex .
