A mere mention of Butler & Wilson never fails to conjure images of deliciously sparkling gems and fantastically oversized rhinestones.
Starting his business from a market stall on the King's Road, Scotsman Wilson progressed to a stand-alone store in 1972 on the Fulham Road in London, which, alongside a sister branch in the smart shopping destination of South Molton Street, continues to go from strength to strength.
Adored by the likes of Princess Diana, Kate Moss and Sharon Stone, it has been 40 years since Simon Wilson designed his first collection of costume jewellery, and to celebrate he has produced a suitably lavish book which epitomises B&W style.
"From the very beginning we never did subtle" says Wilson of his design style. And for the next 40 years, we hope he doesn't begin to.
The 40th anniversary book features over 200 full page images of the most iconic pieces and photo shoots. Priced at £48,

Butler & Wilson are reliably the first port of call when a glamorous bit of sparkle is required. The company has provided jewellery for many TV shows including Strictly Come Dancing, Britain's Next Top Model and the X-factor, and celebrities such as Girls Aloud, Madonna and Kylie Minogue. A current best-seller is the Swarovski encrusted evening bag. Most recently, vintage clothing has been added in addition to the successful launch of a men's collection blending semi-precious stones.

A decade later, the Fulham Road shop became famous for its traffic-stopping billboards, which featured the most distinguished actresses and models such as Jerry Hall, Faye Dunaway, Catherine Deneuve and Bianca Jagger to name but a few, emblazoned outside the store wearing Wilson's decadent creations. The top names were happy to pose in front of the camera for leading fashion photographers such as David Bailey, Terence Donovan and John Swannell, simply in exchange for a few pieces of covetable Butler & Wilson jewellery.

Today I am leaving for a two week vacation to Europe. My long lost college roommate and I are going to be hitting up Spain and Italy and in Italy Vlad will be meeting up with us for a Gondola ride or two! I am super excited for this vacation and this time will actually be vacationing. We are lucky enough to have someone who will write posts for me while I am gone, Nerdphanie! You all remember her as a guest blogger! Now she is signed on as a two week blogger to fill my spot. She will bring you lots of new bags and goodies to look at. I will be posting sporadically, but not my usual four or five posts a day
