Luvs, the fashionable season is upon us, with Caribbean Fashion Week just days away. So what better time to announce that Jamaica's first couple of fashion - Kingsley Cooper and long-time companion, the fabulous Romae Gordon, are now proud parents!

They welcomed their first child together, Cole Cooper, on Wednesday at 7:43 a.m, in New York.

The news is that both mother and child are doing quite well and dad is totally elated, it's now all systems go for Caribbean Fashion Week 2013, so dears, it's time to strike that pose, as y'all never know just when Vogue might be watching or come a-calling!

And my dears, speaking of beautiful people, well the place the beautiful people chill these days is the charmingly fab Winebar and Bistro-Uncorked located in Sovereign North, in Barbican.

Dears, the place is simply buzzing most evenings, but especially on Friday evenings. It was there that this here scribe spotted the fabulously glowing Nicole Haughton, last Friday. She looked positively fab and then some. And little wonder as Miss Haughton was sporting a fabulous engagement ring. Her beau, the dapper Matthew Wright, was by her side, he, too, a picture of bliss.

Basking in love

No firm date yet for the nuptials, but wait for it, as the couple are indeed hooked on each other and simply basking in the glow of their love!
