Made Up.

My lively make up palette for the forthcoming season. Daring, I know. The Matte Eyes is my favourite, easily dressed up 'vampy' with a dark lipstick and eyeliner or down 'hippie' with a lipstick lighter than this shade and not much more.



Matte Eyes in Afternoon Tea, £6.50. Crayon in Equinox and Zephyr, £8.50. Eyeshadow Mousse in Glint, £8.

Watch This.


I was after a a new watch but due to my fussy ways, I couldn't find the perfect one; black croc leather, medium sized face, silver trimmings. So I settled for this mens, rubber one with black trimmings. Naturally.

Playfully Polished.

Like an absolute kid in a sweet shop, I had to get a few of these nail varnishes by Models Own. I'll post when they arrive with how they look.


These were my finalists;

Proper Copper, Purple Grey, Orange Sorbet, 3-in-1 Base/Top Coat, Gold Digger

Mine And Mine.






Latest couple of buys; black shirt is a wardrobe staple and a dress because it had me at gothic lace.

Ensemble.

Here's a little Spring outfit. If you are more in touch with your feminine side than myself, feel free to remove the black accessories and replace with a less.. morbid colour.






Black Whipstitch Flat Floppy, £25. Crop Lilac Silk Shirt By Boutique, £55. Red Pleated Skirt, £35. Camel Double Wrap Skinny Leather Belt, £32. Java Camel Suede Peep Toe Platform Wedges, £65. Black Overstuded Leather Bucket Bag, £95. All Topshop.

Gold Rush.

Here is the most expensive nail varnish you will ever lay your little eyes on. It's name? Gold Rush. It's credentials? 1,118 diamonds and a gold leaf like appearance. It's price? £83,000. As a profound nail varnish collector I just can't say no to the multibuy offers on their site. And whilst this isn't one of them they do a more affordable 'Ready To Wear' version. Click here to shop the collection.

Nail It.

I haven't had my nails done for a while and my latest attempt at creating a galactic masterpiece could have turned out better but it is wearable. I did two coats of Nails in Lead, one of Gypsy Night and one of Sunset.




The next fad in store for my talons is to be either a good old black cherry claw not dissimilar from Rihanna's, a bit of heavy metal or some Minx in one of their newest shell designs. Probably the latter. Save the claws for the birthday and ignore the thoroughly impractical one.




Heart This One.




Totes think this is so pulchritudinous.
P.S. I've been enraptured by thesaurus's of late. 
Heart Set by Richard Nicoll for Topshop, £45.

Just Jewellery Lust.


The clue is in the name really. Tina Lilienthal is a German born jewellery designer who has established herself as one for creating 'fine fashionable jewellery with an edge'.




However, I have saved my best til last. I love everything about Maria Nilsdotter, from the collection to the website, lookbook, blog, and to an extent the prices. Her philosophy; 'I create my jewellery starting from a story, a fantasy or an emotion. My wish is to create wearable art with playful touch. The jewellery is characterized by symbolic figures with unexpected twists and contrasts. All my work is handmade of precious metals, stones and pearls to create timeless and beautiful jewellery'.


Bex Rox.

I love it when I come across pieces as versatile as this eighteen carat gold plated brass double knuckle duster ring in the form of a wave by Bex Rox. Whether it's with some jersey and ripped denim or an LBD and killer heels, the simple crescent shaped detail effortlessly adds style.

Wave Knuckle Ring, £305.

"Marlene Dietrich-Meets-Punk".


This awe-inspiring collection, named "Rendez-vous", has been described as "Marlene Dietrich-meets-punk" by Bruno Frisoni, Roger Vivier's artistic director. There are twenty pieces per style, each costing between £1,500 and £6,000.

The amazing shoes exhibit an assortment of textures and personalities. These include lizard, crocodile and sting-ray for their ankle boots, 'bristling with straps and warrior-style ankle-cuffs'. The shoes with a more feminine feel to them were 'draped with glistening, golden chain-mail, like a mini coat-of-armour around the foot'.

Beautiful. You have til Autumn to save up.
