Click and Save..


Bored, random clicking and saving in front of friends...always do it, just never post it, so this time I did.  worrying that 3 of pics include cigarettes.  Don't think I need Dr Spock to tell me what that means...

More Random Dree Love...


Dree just makes you realise it really is all in the details...the studded cuff in the top picture just makes the look whilst those leather lepels on the jacket in the bottom pic just add a whole new dimension of texture to such a simple look.  And it's always an acheivement to stand out at all when you're standing on a carpet that looks like it was modelled on some of the riveting illustrations from one of my 70s Maths GCSE text books.

Cosy Toes





These docs are just so much softer and cosier than their harder brothers and sisters and I instantly fell in love when I spied them in this months Elle UK.  Sitting in a rather chilly showroom right now, looking out of the French windows at the depressingly dark sky and just looking at these booties is warming me up from the inside out almost as a big mug of earl grey tea.  After helping a friend decorate their Christmas tree yesterday, eating advent chocolates in the morning and listening to Magic's best assortment of Christmas Crackers all day (Band Aid '88 3 times so far), I am feeling thoroughly festive and the sheepskin lining of these docs is only adding to it.  Can't wait till Christmas shopping is over so I can get myself some Christmas cheer...

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...
