Shoe lust

I am very excited about my new ankleboots and just had to share them with you......Just brought home these stunning Laura J London ankleboots....LOVE THEM!

Well actually, I kind of like everything from their new collection....wish I'd bought them all....especially these amazing blue numbers.

On another note I still haven't found any damn wedges that I like, and to think they are supposed to be everywhere. Nevermind. I'll satisfy my shoe lust elsewhere for now.

Over and Out

Goodbye Lady Luck!

A few days ago I snapped my name necklace that I got from Lady Luck Rules Ok jewellery. I am very sad about this and very annoyed that I must always be so clumsy.

So I went onto the site and low and behold it is closed! Okay so it closed at the end of Feb so I am slightly behind on this one but all I can say is what a shame! Leona and the team made amazing rock n roll style pieces that were great to cheer you up on a Monday morning.

Anyway, the times they are a changing. Thanks for the great pieces and Lady Luck really does rule, Okay! You will be missed. Think i'll have to get a souvenir necklace for old times sake.

The Whale I Fear.

If there is something I can't get out of my head at the moment it's Moby Dick.

I must have been so traumatised by reading Melville's novel that the old sperm whale keeps haunting me at night and I wake up feeling rather annoyed that there is a whale is trying to eat me!

So basically I am trying to channel my fear into a productive fashion fix. And what better way than by taking said whale and shrinking it to the size of my thumb and wearing it round my neck? Well if I had £270 at my disposal I would certainly channel my fear onto Kabiri.co.uk and purchase Iwona Ludyga's amazing whale pendant.

Though that probably won't be happening for a while so in the mean time I will be resolutely staring at the brill painting by art and craft genius Lee May Foster. Surely after a while the pretty colours will dissolve the whale-phobia and I won't be forced to spend all my food money on Leviathan trinkets.

Amen to that Ahab!

Fall RTW. The Good, The Bag And The Iceberg!

With Paris Fashion Week at a close I must round up my loves and hates ...

The first note has got to be about the late McQueen, whose whole collection was simply stunning….Seeing these beautiful pictures from the show just makes me sad that this is the last time we will see true McQueen styling.

I mean, the fabrics! The cut! And not to mention those baroque platform ankleboots….bloomin’ marvellous.

As far as hate goes, well all I can say is that maybe some people look at the Talbot Runhof collection and think “darling,….so high fashion!” “So hot right now!” Personally I think…Tin Man?!

Now if you haven’t already seen the Chanel rtw catwalk click here to watch it. Mr Lagerfield's show took place amongst REAL icebergs! I kid you not. Okay so the hairy outfits are not my cup of tea but 10 out of 10 for effort.

I LOVE PAMELA LOVE!

If there is ONE thing I desperately need (not want...need) for SS10 it has got to be....(okay so maybe I have a list longer than my arm) but seriously i have decided now, It has to be something from Pamela Love's SS collection, because it is all genius. And I know it's all supposed to be nudes and pastels and floaty florals but I'm bored already. I want to go back to gothic...aw09 was soooo good for gothic and now i'm taking a stand and putting her creepy and amazing heart necklace at the top of my wish list for ss10, forget the wedges I want human organs on a chain. And i'll tell you something, I'll be going straight to Forward Forward to get it....so there!

BIGELOW'S BIG BREAK

Wow, it's hard to comment on accessories when it comes to the Oscars...so many floor length gowns covering the shoes! How dare they. Most of the dresses were sedate, but at least old SJP did something a bit weird with her dress. Although the whole billowy front thing isn't very flattering in this snap.



Anyway, if we can't talk about shoes then there isn't any point and I'll have to just say a HUGE congrats to Kathryn Bigelow for being the first female director to win an Oscar...and it was so overdue. How could anyone have over looked the best film of all time...POINT BREAK! She should have won an Oscar long ago in my opinion. What's better than old Reeves doing a bit of undercover work with some adrenaline junky surfers..!? Nout in my opinion. Okay so the Hurt Locker was good too. You go girl! And shall we also say that she looked bloomin gorgeous in this Yves Saint Laurent gown.




Ciao Ciao!

Falling down the rabbit hole...

Just can't wait to go and see Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland. It has inspired a good few of the SS10 collections which makes me think it must be bloomin brilliant....

Now we have all seen the Versace collection that was tres Alice-chic but I have to say that I LOVE the literal translation in Tarina Tarantino's new Acid Alice collection. Kitsch and bloody lovely! My fave is the white rabbit necklace...so cute!
