the glamour!

Tuesday, May 25th, 2010

oh how royal! that’s what my first reaction was when i saw this baby in real life. i’m dying. it’s GLORIOUS. i’m probably the closest to salivating over jewellery as i’ve ever been. it’s vintage, it’s from the wonderful kelly [the glamourai]. i had to have it when it popped up in her online shop. and it’s so big. i can’t wait to wear it!

do go and check out her online shop for more of her unique jewels.

seahorses.

Sunday, April 25th, 2010

well, we didn’t make it to the seahorse farm [closes at 4pm on sundays fyi]but the weather was fab, and i do love a good photo backlit by the sun, especially when i use my 50mm lense.

making it’s debut, my new DROWN necklace. it’s amazing. wonderfully talented alicia of sea of ghosts blog fame has a new jewellery line out, and it’s amazingly amazing. Nebula, features digital space print set in arrangements inspired by the geometric shapes found in chemistry, and the crystal and mineral formations found in nature. Of course, as you know, i am a big fan of statement necklaces as well as all things spacey and intergalactical, so as soon as i saw the refraction necklace, it had to be mine! Do check the new collection out, it’s available for purchase from Alegorie.

i’ve been on a blogging hiatus for the last week or so due to my crazy busy life and moving this site to some sort of different server [blah, boring internet speak], but it’s almost a week to Rosemount Australian Fashion Week, it will be posts-a-hoy! my RAFW buddies will be Alicia from sea of ghosts as well as bestie Alecia [can't i find friends with different names? ahaha] who is volunteering during the week. if you’ve seen on twitter, we’re all sharing a nanna house together so expect complete debaucherous behaviour from us! there will be guest posts from leash and hardcore fashion coverage from me. i absolutely can’t wait, but don’t even get me started on what clothes i have to pack. ughughguhg.

outfit: acne ‘yours sincerely’ tshirt, cue blazer, drown ‘refraction’ necklace, marc jacobs gold and canvas brogues.

it’s a statement, see?

Thursday, January 7th, 2010

you know i love jewellery. i love it. i love statement pieces. i love to wear things that stand out. i love to layer pieces that you normally wouldn’t put together. so how excited do i get when i find new designers making things that i would wear in a heartbeat? VERY EXCITED. [am i rambling? i'm rambling aren't i?].

now, i’ve posted about assad mounser before. because i’m in love. with her designs. omg. have you seen them? completely amazing. so i was thrilled to find that amanda too has a fashion blog of her own, which is fab. can’t wait to see more from her. but on pay day, this is mine. my love for it, it’s a serious thing. :)

so from there i found norwegian wood by angie johnson, a montreal designer. fabulous fringing, wood and feathers. this is my favourite piece from her collection, i love the fluro:
