GOLFING IN GENEVA..... THE LOOK!

The weather seems to be finally improving here by Lake Leman, and it looks like just the right time to head to the Golf courses.  
 
Geneva is lucky enough to have several golf courses. From the impressive membership-only Golf Club de Géneve on the Rive Gauche (in the middle of exclusive Cologny and Vandoevres)  to the Geneva Country Club on the Rive Droite in Bellevue (not far from the airport or Richemont for that matter) to the   Golf & Country Club de Bonmont with its 18th Century Mansion (and 8 room Hotel) in Cheserex
 
What to wear?  Well the Green Pebbles Girls have put their heads together and come up with our ideal Golfing look for this season.

 

 

 

 

Peak Performance's brand new Golf collection is perfect.  Great tops and skirts as well as fab jackets!  Maurice Lacroix's ladies watch retains a hint of a  casual look whilst being intrinsically luxurious and sophisticated.  

 

Raceline's Victoria Cap is an authentic custom-made piece of headwear that features jewel-quality snaps, a pure and distinctive visor shape all done in limited series.  Royal Albartross's Golf shoes are recognized worldwide as the best  in luxury Golf shoes.

 

Now we're ready, we're off to practice a few swings!

 

THE PERFECT "OLYMPICS" SPORTY LOOK!

 

 

 

With the Olympics just around the corner, like the Green Pebbles Girls you've probably been inspired to take on a new rather energetic sport!  Not being particularly sporty ourselves we were at a loss with regards to the 'right look'.... afterall one is supposed to be dressed comfortably in order to do some strenuous exercise!

 

A worrying thought for the Green Pebbles Girls since comfortable often means "drab" in our experience!  Luckily the girls at PR Fact gave us a few tips which we thought we'd  share with you!

 

 

Sneakers from Puma, a vintage style t-shirt from New Yorker, A Tendence Watch to see just how slow you are running, a stylish water bottle from SIGG (you could go a step further and choose one of their limited edition water bottles) and of course an all weather jacket from Swedish company Peak Performance.

 

If, on the other hand,  like some of us you'd rather ' look the part' rather than 'take part' then just add a few accessories to the look to spice it up. For example the Blauer scarf (you could use it as a flag if like one of the Green Pebbles Girls you happen to support the US)  which can be pretty useful if you are hanging around watching others participate and it's a bit windy.  If you want to sparkle just as much as the medal winners, then you could always opt for one of the fun Swarovski charm bracelets. bracelets  If you actually want to have the medals on your chest but can't be bothered to actually try to win one well, the 555DSL Medal T-shirt is your next best bet!

 

 

 

JARLO LONDON PRESS DAY - A/W 2012-13 COLLECTION STRIKES GOLD.....AND RED, GREY, PURPLE & COBALT BLUE!

 

It is easy to see why celebrities like Keira Knightley, The Saturdays , Nicola Roberts and Anna Friel (not to mention the Green Pebbles Girls of course) are all fans of Jarlo London!

 

 

The JARLO LONDON Press day revealed a stunning collection for the upcoming A:W 12/13 Season.  Think maxis adorned with embellished shoulders and matte sequined jackets- whilst not forgetting the vintage style dresses which first put JARLO LONDON on the fashion cards. 

 

 

The new Autumn/Winter 2012-13 collection embraces soft shades of purple, greys and golds.  A suitably warm palette to contrast against the cold weather of the Winter months,  

 

 

 

 

 

Whilst a palette of cobalt blue and reds can be seen in the crushed velvet skirts and fur collared coats.

 

 

 

 

Carly Hallahan, the ever stylish designer behind the brand, continuously strives to create a collection which is both elegant and feminine keeping in mind the curves of women. 

 

 

 

 

Whether you embrace the vintage silhouette tea dresses or the loose sheer fabric floral shirts-there is something for everyone.

 

 

The Autumn/Winter collection is a melange of fabrics: sequin, chiffon, pleather, lace and fur.  All of which embrace the vintage feel through beautifully fashioned designs.

 

 

 

 

Music plays part to Hallahan’s inspiration for her designs just as her Australian roots are reflected in her maxi dresses to create an effortlessly chic look.

 

 

 

 

It wasn't by accident that the maxis have become a popular choice for Bridesmaids.  The S:S12 collection is an array of pretty pastels and candy stripes perfect for that Spring/ Summer wedding.

The Green Pebbles Girls' Wedding Season Begins!

Even the most cynical Green Pebbles Girls can't help but feel a little romantic during this time of year!  As Spring flowers start to bud and the bells ring out happily, we feel drawn into dreamlike fantasies....particularly if confronted by a little red box (Cartier comes to mind!)

 

 

Cartier Engagement Ring Box

 

or a little turquoise box for that matter (Breakfast at Tiffany's anyone?)

 

 

Tiffany & Co. Gift Box

 

and if that little box contains THE RING, such as a marvellous Tiffany & Co. Square Fancy Intense Yellow diamond ring in platinum crowned by two rows of white diamonds well what can we say,  les jeux sont fait!

There we have it, the Green Pebbles Girls are already walking down the aisle savouring each and every step because they are of course wearing Jimmy Choos Ivory Silk Satin 5.7 inch platform sandals with a delicate ankle strap adorned with a Swarovski crystal buckle, rendered all the more majestic by the sound of the Mendhelsson's Wedding March.

Surrounded by that surreal magic which accompanies each bride down the aisle making them shine with splendour, the Green Pebbles Girls will of course be wearing the latest creation by ROSA CLARA' from the Soft Collection 2012

clutching a MARTHA STEWART Calla Lilies Bouquet made up of calla lilies, wired gladiolus, sweet peas and stephanotis on the vine, we glide down the aisle for the final I DO!

Nothing could be a more perfect ending to this stunning fairytale than PEGGY PORSCHEN's amazing Falling Petals tiered wedding cake, an absolute work of art, to leave the new couple and guests alike in awe.
