Rihanna Sues Topshop over Unflattering T-shirt Photo



I think it was last week, I was having a late launch at Costa Coffee and reading some papers. I came across the issue between Rihanna and Topshop. First, I thought it was kind of advertising thing for Rihanna and the time I realised that Rihanna was about to sue Philip Green's Topshop for £3.5m over 'Ugly' T-shirt Photo of hers.



The reason of Rihanna`s claim is a bit funny because she says in addition to - Topshop`s use of her image without a permission- the image company have used made Rihanna look ugly. I think it is a nice picture :)


Anyway.. I do not know how things work in this kind of businesses but in UK law, the copyright of a photograph is owned by the photographer, not the person in the picture. Also, Topshop claims that it was allowed to use the image as it was taken in a public place. Ok, I think both parties have some points here. 

Personally speaking, this T-shirt thing a good way of advertising for Rihanna and it must be a very profitable income for Topshop as well. Of course, Rihanna deserves a right to be asked for her image to be used. 

One thing I am wondering is if the image was a beautiful one for Rihanna, what would she do about it ? Just crossed on my mind, was she going to be happy with the T-shirt or in any way, is this the advertising part of her, "heyyy I am alive and still famous" ?

Toywatch is Ready for Spring, Are You ?




I was so surprised when I came across the new Maya collection of Toywatch at Westfield Shopping Centre. I love watches, any kind of them.. I do not know where this feeling comes from but as you can guess it is a very common habit. It is not that long but since last year, I am a fun of Toywatch.. Company has been generating different kind of designs regularly but very -UNIIQE- ones, especially this is the part that I love!

Recently Toywatch launched the Maya collection (Maya Waven Watches). Maya collection is a wave from the tradition of South America goes back till 1960`s and ethno-chic style. I am totally amazed! It is completely fascinating. The vivid colours of the hand-plaited straps represent the elements of nature and the base is enhanced by a Maya etching of the symbol of the Sun Stone.


Additionally, Toywatch introduces traditional and classic style together on Maya collection. Maya in steel and fabric, gold watch-case, white dial, hand plaited fabric strap with plaits on each end, various shades of fuchsia, just time movement.

Actually, it is a kind of bracelet as well, fits easily on your wrist and a great match for both casual and classic outfits. 

You can purchase Toywatch Waven watches in store or online.











Ready for Spring? If not, do not worry. It is still freezing out there


Unfortunately, I have to admit that "there is no summer in the UK!". I was planning to share my latest fashion products today but weather do not seem to helping me.  It`s just depressing and I don`t think it is going to be warmer any time soon.

However, I still feel that if there is no rain, it is fine. It is not that cold too. Still there is chance to be in summer clothes. I just wanted to share my favorite summer outfit with you.. I felt that this outfit is an appropriate match for depressing English weather, what do you think ladies?
