Fresh from the ‘creative room’ at Cotton Candy Corsage, is the new Summer Prom Collection 2009. Find these dreamy, eye-catching, sumptuous and dazzling designs at Fifi & Ally, Glasgow.

There are 3 key colours streams within the collection:

They can either be worn on the wrist or as a brooch - perfect for the true ‘Prom’ feel, or to make a stunning addition to your lapel or summer ensemble!

The elves at Cotton Candy Corsage HQ have been busy these last months, while the rain has been battering the mean streets of Glasgow!

There are lots of new shapes and vintage, ‘upcycled‘ creations to get you in the autumn mood, and keep up with the mutation of the floral corsage as it makes the transition to the new season.

Look out for funky, wear-with-everything ‘button belles’ mounted on glitzy cards and mixing tartans. tweeds, beads, buttons and prints.

The more elaborate belles can take centre-stage on a new a/w Mac or trench, or simply to pin your printed silk-scarf in place, a la Gok’s Fashion Fix! Enjoy and look out for the designs hitting the website mid-September 2008…

Dharlings, don’t they look the business wearing this sumptuous oh-my-god-I-could-eat-it wrist corsage? A delightedly satisfied customer (Chloe, Stewarton) loved her bespoke commission so much, she spent half her holiday photographing it fashion-spread-stylee in the glorious Greek island of Kephalonia. Here are some of the stunning photos - thanks Chloe!

Hello my lovelies!

I must just tell you how excited I am about Sex and the City: The Movie coming out later this year. I popped out for lunch with Carrie and the girls just before Christmas for a spot of festive shopping New York style, and it was absolutely dharling. Samantha is such a saucy minx, and if it wasn’t for my Rupert tucked up chez moi, I would certainly share a cocktail or two with Smith Jared…

A rummage through Carrie’s wardrobe would be worth a gazillion manicures, and those accessories! I noticed in the trailer she is wearing a stunning, over-sized floral design corsage. I would adore one of those, who wouldn’t? It’s definitely THE year of the corsage, so ladies, get in the queue behind moi.

ciao x
