A faithful maternity maxi dress is our summer staple, and it was fantastic to see Elisabetta Gregoraci wearing the Kelly Dress in this month’s Tatler. The model and wife of Flavio Briatore teamed our floor length design with statement earrings, bracelets and an adorable Yorkshire Terrier. We think she looks fabulous and wish her the very best.

The shoot week has started well for autumn winter 10/11. All is running very smoothly. Here's a picture of our model choosing the music in the studio. Day one nearly done, 4 to go...

Tiffani Thiessen wore the Isabella Oliver “Tie Knot Dress” in Caviar Black to the 2nd Annual Character Approved Awards in New York last night. We think she looked fabulous. The Tie Knot dress is available in caviar black or indigo.

We love to brighten up our morning commute with a dose of the latest style news, and free fashion weekly Stylist offers the perfect read. This week, it was fabulous to spot The Trapeze Trench and the Tie Knot Dress in its Power Dressing for Pregnancy feature; an article that focuses on pieces that ‘take you from presentation to pre-natal yoga’, and describes our trench as ‘the perfect cover-up for spring’. Thank you Stylist.

Hi, Baukjen here.

Last night after work we went to Sara Beman and her husband's house for dinner with friends. One of Sara's new year's resolutions is to cook more and here is evidence of her doing very well. It was delicious!

After everyone had gone home, Sara and I went upstairs to her study and spent a few hours talking about silhouettes, fabrics and colours for a VIP customer who wants a special dress for an important event. Lovely evening but a bit tired this morning.

Hi, Baukjen here.

Just finished working with Ania on preparations for the upcoming photoshoots. Ania then got changed as she's off to a party. Ania is wearing last season's Goddess dress with peep toe ankle boots and a skinny belt. You look great Ania! Have fun x

Hi, Baukjen here...

I’m a fan of the Sykes collection and headed down on Saturday evening to St. Martins Lane Hotel where Joanna Sykes held her AW10 collection presentation. I love how she uses models of all ages (well, from model age upwards). Here’s a picture of a beautiful older woman modelling the Sykes AW10 collection. The collection looks fantastic too.

Hi, Baukjen here,

A few weeks ago my computer crashed and I lost all my bookmarks. Years of bookmarking favourite fashion, cooking, travel, kids websites lost in one go. And yes, I have since learnt that I could (and should) have backed them up to avoid losing them.

During breakfast with Sasha Wilkins ( of one of my favourite blogs: LibertyLondonGirl.com ) she told me all about Google Reader. You can enter all your favourite blogs, twitterees etc and then each time you log in, you see whom has put up a new entry. It's very easy. I've put my favourites in and then organised them in to folders such as fashion blogs, friends blogs, travel blogs etc. I now check in once or twice a day and catch up. And if my computer crashes, no problem, Google Reader is accessible from anywhere.

Here are some of my favourite fashion blogs at the moment:
