Wonderba&sh

I first became aware of the luxury Parisian label Ba&sh earlier this year when I went to the Royal Chelsea Flower Show with my friend Rosie Fortescue who was wearing one of their striking pink jumpsuits.  Given I love all things Paris and all things Pink, I was soon hooked (or as the French say, ‘ooked).  The label started in 2003 by childhood friends Barbara Boccara and Sharon Krief, and together they create those everyday, contemporary yet feminine designs we all wish hung nonchalantly in our wardrobes.

October, as we all know, is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, where many designers and big high street retailers create limited edition items for the cause.  For the third year, Ba&sh has got involved, this year releasing two slogan t’shirts donating all profits to the campaign.  I’ve been living in mine whilst hanging in New York, so c’mon y'all, make like all le cool cats and grab one for yourself HERE (RRP. £55.00).

#NoMakeUp Selfies for Cancer Research UK

Over £8 MILLION has been raised for Cancer Research UK in the last SIX days during a campaign that’s seen women flooding our social media pages with their bare-faced ‘selfies’ and donating just £3.00 via their phone.  The trend grew totally organically by each woman nominating several friends to follow her lead.  On Day 5 of my bed-bound ‘Spring Fever’ I was nominated by FOUR of my girlfriends on facebook (flowers will do next time girls… jus’saying!) but as it's all in the name of charideeeeeee…  

Cancer Research UK have said that the generous donations would allow the charity to carry out 10 clinical trials that it did not have money to fully fund last week.  Harpal Kumar, chief executive of Cancer Research UK, said: "We have been overwhelmed by the support people have been showing us through the #nomakeupselfie trend… It has been an exciting week, and we would just like to thank everyone again for their support."
