love

Alexander McQueen's Spring 2011 clutches are gorgeous. I love the intricate detail of the leaves, flowers and the skull. I love the contrast between the knuckle duster and skull and the whole nature imagery. Shame it would cost me my arm and leg to have one. I wonder which high street brand will copy this first? Take your bets...

christmas treats

I got some very lovely presents for christmas, including my pink hat, which is just adorable, it has a little pink bow on the side :) My mum also got me this waterfall knitwear jacket/cardigan (what would you call it?) from Republic. Its a really nice material and I love the colour, a sort of mix of light and dark greys. The long sleeved top is just a basic jersey from Primark, the legging, oh the legging are my absolute bargain, not sure if it's visual in this photo but there is a transparent panel running down the sides of both legs, they are from Tesco at £1! yes I did say £1. The boots are from Brantano, bought them years ago now, but there very handy in this cold, snowy weather!
On another note, I adore the mac 2010 Christmas range, why have I only just realised that? I so bad want all of their range, especially because the sets come in the loveliest tartan boxes that you can reuse. Most of the sets are SOLD OUT on the website, but there are a few left which I have my eye on. Should I spend £63 on mac? Decisions decisions...

christmas day means a christmas outfit ...

My lovely mother treated me to a Christmas outfit which I love.
Leather style shorts from topshop, £38
Blouse, Topshop, £38
Necklace, Secret Santa present from my friend :)
Flat shoes, An absolute bargain from Asda, £8
Black Tights, erm tesco maybe?

I adore my New look ring, it was part of one of their concession ranges and got it for such a bargain at £7 in a sale ages ago!

Christmas hat and yoyo are optional, but I think they really complete the look...

xmas time

It seems that whenever England gets a touch of snow the whole country goes in to meltdown! True to form the snow this year has ruined many a plans, I do not want to get stranded in the freezing cold thank you very much. But with the freezing cold, comes dressing up very very warm and snuggly in chunky knits, thick scarf's and a good winter coat. I love mine this year, a camel coloured duffel style coat from River Island that my nanna bought for me! plus a hood..which is a necessity in this weather...I always seem to lose or can't find an umbrella at the right time.

I am now back home from university,which means catching up with family and friends which I haven't seen for a while. I also decorated my christmas tree which my family happily left me while they were all in work and school. I think I did quite a good job. Unfortunately being home also means back to work, which is mon-fri at the moment. However on the plus side, I get to have a mooch at all the gorgeous new clothes from Topshop, it distracts me too much.

feeling sensual

"Sensual pleasures are like soap bubbles, sparkling, effervescent. The pleasures of intellect are calm, beautiful, sublime, ever enduring and climbing upward to the borders of the unseen world."
