Leathers!!!!

Sooo... I've FINALLY paid off my Claude Maus leather skinnies. You probably all forget about them as I first mentioned them forever ago. So worth the wait. They fit like a dream, are warm but not stifling, and buttery soft. Not to mention practical - great for rainy windy days (road tested those conditions yesterday).
Claude Maus Leather Leggings, Stuart Weitzman wedges, Karen Walker jewellery, Tissot watch, Supre tee.

I'm also digging the new lipstick I got from MAC "Neon Orange", although as I'm even fairer than usual at the moment (thanks winter) it basically looks hot red on me. Which I like!

Beauty Bible: Nailing It

So you all know I'm a nailpolish fiend - especially when it comes to strange colours. But this addiction has its perks; the lovely Kate from Beauty Bible (amazing local beauty website!!) invited me to write a piece on nailpolish, so I had a much enjoyable ramble.
Check it out here!!

17/06/09: Shop Shop Shop

So I FINALLY went shopping (properly) today now that I am free from uni. God it was good. Pretty much took up my whole day post-gym. And although today was freezing (something I combatted c/o my beloved Tv leopard merino leggings and my fave of mums cashmere jerseys) it was stunningly sunny and beautiful.

Black Box was perfect, but then again when is it not? I left wanting/needing new jeans. Stolen Girlfriends Club jeans are pretty much the only type that fit my body perfectly, and always have the most kick ass styles - I'm seriously craving their perfectly faded torn skinnies that are slashed all up the leg, but have a denim layer underneath (for warmth and practicality - therefore they are obviously a sensible/necessary purchase oui?). Also wanting some of the Tv jeans that are slashed all the way up.

A pit stop to Vixen in St Kev's saw my find this uber comfy clompy pair of Dr Martens mary janes - heaven for my decrepit feet. When I brought then out at home later I thought the fam would have a fit - but they actually liked. Was a tad shocked, but pleased.

Paid a long overdue visit to Children Of Vision and the ever lovely James Dobson - I did the usual, stared longingly at all the stock, stroked the puffpaint splatered pieces and pesterred him about when Romance Was Born's summer collection was coming in - I want aaall of it, no joke. Except possibly not the semi-infamous Octopus Bonnet.

With some extra cash that was accumulating in my wallet I fiiinaaally paid of my ankle boots from Mi Piaci - have been searching for a staple pair like these FOREVER. Most are way to large widthwise for my scrawny feet, and not many had the inbuilt platform that I wanted - but these ticked all the boxes. And now its holidays and I am reacquainted with my social life I actually have places to wear them! Excellent.

Treated myself to some new lippy - a MAC Satin in Snob (have been needing/wanting for a while now).

Superette have some awesome Lover pieces, think me and the little sis will have a bit of a try on when we pop in on saturday. And I still NEED/LOVE the Ksubi Aras. Every time I put them on it just feels like they complete me.

Tried on some of the new(ish - considering my lack of shopping lately) Toy Watches. So cute. Like plastic versions of my current and much loved Tissot (I call it my Seventies Porno Watch) and also remind me of the white Chanel watches that I've coveted forever. So obviously I loved the Plasteramic in white!

Final stop was Karen Walker, had a lovely long chat with the awesome Scarlet and spent forever looking at possible 21st birthday jewelry options - loving the owl ring (quite meaningful as my late grandmother collected owl ornaments) and the carrots (ideally in gold - more carrot appropriate colour oui?). I've wanted that blue cocktail knuckle duster forever, and have desperately wanted the cigarette butt charm for even longer. Sigh.

Beauty Wish List

I so need/want some new makeup treats - and I'm not talking about Maybelline mascara from the supermarket (although that is also needed right now).  I already have one of YSL's Rouge Volupte lipsticks (in the PERFECT shade of apricot/coral) and its one of the best I have ever bought. Definitely need another. And their Touche Eclat is definitely needed right now.. Trust me yo do not want to see the dark circles under my eyes (a charming by-product of end-of-semester-itus, 3 x 5:20 am wakeups a week, working 3/4 weekend this month + other job also). As you see, I think I deserve some treat!
Clockwise: Mac eyeshadow, YSL Touche Eclat, MAC Prep & Prime, Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream, Chanel Teint Innocence, MAC Eye Paints, Chanel Moisturisng Bronzing, YSL Rouge Volupte.
