The start of something sparkly.....

I have been uber creative this month, which is why I haven't blogged for a while. Here are the fruits of my labour. Everything I make is unique and I won't make anything again, so the buyer can be assured that they have something totally personal to them and something no one else will have! I have more ideas and collections will grow.
Let me know what you think and I'll accept any suggestions or ideas that anyone else may have too!

I am planning on selling them, however, I haven't gotten a plan yet as I have also just found a new job, so hopes of selling at somewhere like Spitalfields or Greenwich market during the week have been scuppered, but at least I now have an income, after living on the taxpayers money for a few months!

I made this necklace a while back, just haven't had time to post it! I don't know if you've read as far back as when I went to Florence, but I used these beads from when I perused the flea markets on the south side of Florence.I bought some purple crystals from swarovski and some other bits and bobs came from broken earrings etc.

Gossip Gal

Feeling Gossip girl today... thought I'd channel some 'Blair from gossip girl' into the outfit. If you don't know anything about her, here are some pics of Blair from the show:

























I'm wearing:

Ribbon in hair from Net-a-porter
Multi strand necklace: made by me
Dress (inside): American Apparel
Dress (outside) with the ruffles: Marc by Marc Jacobs

Wore this to work.

Necklace: Accessorize (present from my last work place)

Dress: Arrogant Cat sample sale (don't actually know if they brought it out in shops)
Tights: Uniqlo

Weather was grey so I thought I'd brightenn up the office!

First outfit post

The bf inspired me to post pics of my outfits as he believes that they are quite innovative and inspiring... now, i'm not sure of that, but seeing as I have lacked in blogging recently, I thought I'd post up images of my day to day outfits, where I wore them, where each item of clothing/ accessory comes from etc.

I'm not saying I have great taste in clothing- these are just what make me happy.
Coat: Oasis (was cream coloured, but dyed it purple using Dylon dye)
Top: Kimono style top from Spitalfields Market
Skirt (only just seen): Topshop denim range
Tights: M&S Black opaque
Boots: ASOS

Eye eye...

With the recession now officially being announced, people are more likely to buy smaller items such as accessories and make up to jazz up old outfits.

I've noticed that false eyelashes are very one trend at the moment, with many people blogging about them, so I decided to try them out. Being oriental, I have very short lashes. (I envy the boyfriend, who has long ones!!) I was originally going to go to Shu Uemera as they have very ornate false eyelashes as seen below:
MAC are also on the ball with their slightly more demure (but still quite dramatic) lashes.

My lashes as normal... sans make up!









With my two new lashes:

I bought my lashes from an internet site called Eye Beauty where they have a great selection of lashes for reasonable prices together my lashes cost a mere £15, compared to the $50 Shu Uemera ones!

I haven't yet worn these to go out, but I'm sure I'lll find a reason to! Here are some more pics of crazy false eyelashes from Japanese Brand Takuya Angel. I'm not brave enough to try these, but they are so fun!!!

So much for new years resolutions...

Lets see, the last time I blogged was approximately a year ago! So much for my new years resolution last year to blog regularly!!

Last week was my birthday, I'm getting older but not so much wiser any more. Firstly, I'd like to thank all my friends for coming to my dinner last night- I had fun! The company and the food was great! I got a lot of really really nice presents too.

Since my last post, I have:

gained a boyfriend,
lost a boss,
acquired a new boss,
lost an assistant,
acquired a new assistant,
acquired a new wardrobe,
visited 2 countries I've never been to before and just about to go on another trip to a country I've never been to before!

Here are some of the goodies I got for my birthday!

Vera Wang perfum, large bottle, mini bottle, body cream and bath and shower cream. The box was the size of a shoe box and ornately decorated as in the pic on the left. I thought my friends had got me a pair of shoes!!!

Red leather gloves from Oasis and purple sequinned scarf from Reiss

Long butterfly medallion necklace from Oasis and YSL Touche Eclat

Assortment of Chinese purses (apt as Chinese New Year is quickly approaching) and Christian Dior lipstick

DIY necklace

After my blog about the Tuxedo trend I decided to make my own bow tie necklace. I have a piece of left over leather that I bought from Spitalfields for £1 to add as part of my Trends Project I had to complete for the London College of Fashion. Also, by making the necklace out of leather, it crosses over 2 different AW07 trends. Leather and smart dressing....

Black with a patent snakeskin design...


Here's the finished result:












I actually have enough to make 2... so I did! I used an 'old gold' chain for the second which I was thinking of selling on e-bay.

Hat party!

My friend is having a hat party next weekend and despite all the hats that I have already, I'm looking for something different!

I think I have my outfit planned... I was thinking as I have been buying a lot of black recently and I have been watching a lot of death note I could dress in a gothic/ bondage style! Sounds very kinky hehehe.... but here are some images of my outfit without the hat... which I still have to buy.

This is my 'I have never' outfit:
I have never worn a top to toe all black outfit
I have never worn any of these items out before.
I have never worn a belt as a necklace before

Top: Mango (bought a few years ago, but never had the chance to wear it!)
Necklace/ belt: Alexander McQueen Sample sale
Skirt: Future Classics bondage skirt (my buy from Browns!)
Boots: Work sample sale that was on this week and cost me NOTHING! (they are a size too big for me, as sample sizes usually come in a 4 and a 7 and I'm a size 6!!! grrrr...but still can wear them with thick socks)

Ideally I'm looking for a hat like these to complete my outfit:
