Stick Me Designs – Stylish Accessories for the Modern Diabetic

Now, if you have to carry diabetic treatment equipment around with you, which would you prefer? A dull, unispiring, black nylon bag that looks very boring when spotted in the handbag, and tells the whole world your business – or – something in a bright cherry red with a funky zebra stripe lining – or- perhaps a bold floral on a soft blue background with wonderful oversized polka-dots inside?

When, during her second pregnancy Rykina Velte discovered she had gestational diabetes, she knew exactly what she would prefer but couldn’t find it anywhere. So did she give up and go back to the black nylon? No she founded Stick Me Designs and designed it herself.

Rykina is based in the US but will ship all over the world, the bags cost just $35, and she is currently working on a men’s collection. Visit the site to read her full story.

I saw the lovely limited edition Lee Miller Olympus trip camera in a magazine and thought I would go and browse through the V&A Shop website for more presents for fashion lovers. I have included a few here but link to the shop for a whole range of unusual, thoughtful and different gifts for friends and family this year.

Fashion lovers will love to read more about Ossie Clarke, particularly as the label is set to be relaunched by Marc Worth during London fashion week in February 2008. The book includes interviews with Ossie Clarke’s wife, designer Celia Birtwell, who will also be well known to fashion lovers.

And finally, I just thought I’d check out the price of Vogue Covers at Amazon – A very reasonable £24.99.
