Spook-tastic

This would look delicious with all my pretty perfume bottles displayed on it.

Look What The Stork Brought Home

My babies have FINALLY arrived! Parcel Force delivered my Jeffrey Campbell Zero Peep Toes to my work about half an hour ago. I flew up the stairs with the box and here is the result...

Layer 1 - opening the USPS box

Layer 2 - The Jeffrey Campbell box appears

The Reveal!

The Joy!

The Fitting!

First Steps!

I'm off out tomorrow night, so I'll do a full outfit post tomorrow.

A Friend In Need's A Friend Indeed

I saw this on a blog a few months ago and have just been reminded of it.
It's a Companion Parrot by Tithi Kutchamuch.

Go Green For Spring

You know spring has finally arrived in Scotland because the wind picks up and it starts to rain.

Not all the time, so you never know whether to leave your leather jacket in the house or wear a mac. Nor is it still cold enough to wrap up warm and wear hats n scarves n gloves. Instead, heavy showers pelt down from the sky with little warning. The wind doesn't blow from the north, the south or the west, no - it blows up, down and all round about so your brolly is knackered before you even leave the front porch.

Hence the need for a light-weight, showerproof coat (that covers your bum) with a hood. I'm hardly an 'anorak' kinda gal, so the hunt is on for this year's 'spring coat'. I bring you: "The Parka"!
Yes, I can hear many a scream as we all remember Liam Gallagher and co trying to reinvent the "mod", but I'm thinking more "army jacket" - Travis Bickle or Trent Reznor...



Vanilla Scented from Chicotopia is rocking exactly the sort of coat I'm after - pity it's vintage...
I'll be scouring the vintage shops in the west end this weekend, but please keep an eye out for me!

Zero to Hero in 168 Seconds

Got a new credit card the other day - oops! I've been so good for about 2 years now and not actually put anything on credit, but a girl's gotta treat herself once in a while. The time has come and these Jeffrey Campbell Zero Peep Toes I blogged about a few weeks ago will be mine! They've just got everything going for them - a big chunky, kick-ass wedge, ankle strap so you don't fall off them, beautiful cutout detailing in the heel and the rocking horse toe gives them a Westwood/Japanese feel to them. I want them NOW!
Before I go blowing all that cash, erm credit, I'd love to hear from any of you darlings who actually own a pair of Jeffreys - are they comfortable? Just getting too old and lazy to break shoes in these days. I just wanna pop them on and rock my socks off! Let me know your thoughts x

Nasty But Nice

I appear to be a latercomer to Nasty Gal's fantastic online shop. I found her whilst scouring the web for reasonably priced Jeffrey Campbell wedges for the Spring (which must be coming to Glasgow soon? No?) Anyway, here is my current lust list from the store...

Jeffrey Campbell Zero Peep Toe Wedges...Swooooon...

Faking It

I've been a fan of Henry Holland's Mock Stock Tights for ages, but these Bow Print tights modelled by Karolin Wolter for Tush 1 2010 are just delicious. Think I'd rock them with a pair of high-waist denim shorts and wedges.

If Only Money Grew On Trees

This piece by Ashish is perhaps a bit too 'costume', bit too 'Gaga' and a bit too 'wicked witch', but there's just something about it...

These PPQ wrap around/tie-on platforms are stunning and they'd show off my swallow tattoos into the bargain! The chunky as hell necklace is the bees-knees too. Anyone know if it's designed by PPQ as well?

Love Christopher Kane's gladiator knee-highs


This ultra cute cut away black dress by Marios Schwab. Not sure about the nude ankle boots - I'd probably team it with some shiny patent thigh-highs...


This is Ziad Ghanem's electric blue dress from his 'Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds'-A/W 2010/11 collection. I would happily only ever wear Ziad's creations for the rest of my life, it was difficult to choose just one. If you've got plenty of spare Spring cash floating around, hop over HERE to bid on an original design. But keep your paws off the denim corset - it's mine!

Harnessing Your Desires

A friend asked what my must have accessory of 2010 would be. Without a shadow of a doubt it's the body harness. Perfect for all black wearing, flat chested girlies like myself. This is Zana Bayne's leather bondage harness which is divine, but maybe only for certain occassions. Can't see me wearing to a summer wedding, well, maybe...

A Nice Little Vintage Piece

Brilli-ant

What can I say? This was made for me! Silky soft lambskin vanity case. It looks like it's just been retrieved from an oil slick. Simply must HAVE...

The Fear

In some twisted way my fear of birds has transformed into a sort of obsession. It started last year when I decided to have two beautiful swallows tattooed on my feet. I adore them and immediately started planning my chest piece inspired by Glenn Arthur's hummingbirds. Maybe it's some sort of subconscious reverse psychology - holding the thing you fear close to you? Who knows... But I'd love to get my hands on Ann Demeulemeester's latest menswear offering.
