Braid Me



Oh to have long whimsical rapunzel hair that you can braid and braid and braid....

In the Hoop




After taking out my somewhat tacky crystal nose stud about two years ago, these pics of Abbey Lee Kershaw for ID are making me wish my ex piercing was still alive and kicking....and after testing to see if said nose piercing was totally dead and buried, guess what, it wasn't.  I don't think I've been as excited as I was when I finally got my shiny new ring in on friday night for a long time...although I have had quite a few bull jokes thrown my way (cheers selfridges for doing the whole 'this is the samllest nose ring you'll find' schpeel).  Think it'll just be a little party piece I pull out from time to time but fun all the same...

Lux


I was flicking through and old copy of Lula the other day and saw an amazing editorial of Virgin Suicides stills redone by Corrine Day and fell in love with the film all over again without even watching it.  Wouldn't it be cool to be called Lux too...?

Hood me in sequins



This girl's sequin hoodie is probably the best grunge luxe piece around...I've lost a lot of love for sequins since every high street chain in England has been sequins ahoy this season.  Wherever you go right now, you can't swing a lace up ankle boot shoe without knocking a asymetric sequinned body con dress/sequin shoulder pads/ sequin harem pants (and the list goes on) off the rails, but this just reminded me why I first fell in love with those tiny shiny baubles and that sequns can be cool and aren't resigned to the realms of The Saturdays/ Strictly. Now, where do I find one...

Liquid Metal



A dress made of Mercury?  Me thinks this could be the new lurex...it's like the slinky of dresses; retro, fluid and fun. 

Grunge


Grungey hat, no make-up and leather jacket....this girl is so understated and cool it almost hurts.

Oh Olins


Shot by Josh Olins, this photo just shouts 1999...only that CK t-shirt is a million times more cool when photographed by the infallible Mr Olins.  Don't no what it is about this pic but something really draws you in.
