The dogs glittery bollocks

Love this goes with my little art deco obsession of late



Gold gold go away come again another day
no not really. Gold has got some serious staying power - every season it's new golddd this! and this gold
 that! Like a family friend we adore you.

 
3.1 Phillip Lim Spring RTW - This is so elegant could be shorter though :)

Lovelies colories



Lovely colour ways that i stumbled upon by Proenza Schouler ( Spring 10).
The shapes are pretty cool as well. Like the new take on the drop waist looks a bit more flattering and edgy than the traditional art deco style.












Aahahah tie dye you whaaaa



Love the hair a lot a lot. Everyone keeps telling me it wont suit me which breaks my heartttttttttt
I think i feel a rebellion coming on.

Today i begun baking. My AMAZING idea for cheap and cheerful christmas presents was to make big beautiful cakes and box them up with ribbons and tissues and boxy boxes. So last night i bought a lot of stuff from tesco - first and foremost loads of ingredients but my creativity will come out in these cakes if its the last thing it does. I have got some my little ponys that have scratch and sniff bums. They're lovely colours, im going to stick their trotters into the frothy butter icing and fanny will really be your aunt.
They're gonna be vaguely personalised so ive got some aeroplanes for my sister lovely bright pink, green and blue ones which will be emersed in a bright blue buttery happiness.


I am sad to say that im 19 and still scared of being alone. Home alone in Devon is however, a different ball game. I wouldn't mind being in London right now christmas shopping but NO tough tits. Im here in this freezing cottage. Beautiful by day, dont get me wrong. But having just watched the film paranormal activities which by the way is shit, yet scary so dont bother - i am having trouble with the bangs and creeks of this neck of the woods.



Just learned Paloma Faith 'New york' on the guitar and belted it some. Definitely good therapy. I love her shes god.


Now is the time to take a photo of my cakes and do what good bloggers do but no. I am too scared to go upstairs and get my camera....
Nice one.
Got a christmas project to contend with from Uni so need to get brainstorming. Chowder.

We'll drink drink drink to Lily the pink the pink the pink

I am really feeling Art Deco at the moment and can see it influencing fashion if not now within the year. 
Mark my words mark. 





This could mean lovely head dresses, hats and headwear in general. Shapes, collars and lovely flouncy flapper things. Make like postprohibition and drink to lily the pink. 
This here art deco biatch is Lily.




Like this. But modernised versions. PAINT EVERYTHING WHITE. I do love white emulsion paint. Instead of getting said Dr Martens i might just paint my old school army boots and change the laces. 
This is what i mean by lovely headwwearware.....






It does remind me of my showgirl costume i wore recently. Victoria Beckham actually wore my twins very leotard! Quite an achievement to fit into that - although Beckham no doubt had hers clamped at the back. 




Looking undoubtedly beautiful in an old Vogue spread.


 


Our attempts weren't bad at all! I love show girl stuff.






These would be really lovely jackets. Made in amazing woven knits but in fabulous colours - you never know maybe even white painted / metallic / frilly / pleated the possibilities are endless.
The hair styles are fabulous. DO try this at home :)


Over and out. chchchcccccccc


Inspirational making mood material

Love these.
Whilst suddenly running out of money no thanks to rent day, i have decided i am going to do the dirty and make some christmas presents!!!
WHAT FUN any excuse to make something. These Miu Miu socks are rather good making mood inspirations. Im also tempted to make everyone a pair of their very own personalised pyjamas but nice and long and swayie. 





Growing up i'd get in these MAKING MOODS where i would just have to make / create with whatever was readily available to my mothers dismay it was often something unreelable like cotton or selotape. Selotape was a firm favourite.
Anyway these days they come further apart but are awfully severe nonetheless. I actually get them indefinitely when i have a hangover. I suppose i'm just still drunk and excitable at these points.
So yes in order to make all this promised stuff i need to get ratted.
A good seasonal way to get RATTTTTTED at the moment is mulled wine. and what better place to sip this warm spicey friend? Winter wonderland in Hyde park of course!




I do recommend going. There is an initial feeling of displacement with all the blonde haired germans that run the show. Who needs to go to Germany when you can go to winter wonderland? No seriously, who needs to go to Germany? 
There are some yummy big sausages and mulled wine - the whole fair is basically made up of either sausage or wine or both stalls. So there isn't a lot on offer - but what more do you need?? There is this AMAZING 50's amusement arcade and a haunted ride with some pretty convincing corps hanging. As for the ice skating i just dont care. I'll watch, heavily drinking mulled wine - granted. Nothing more nothing less :) 

As for my christmas wish list i'd be sooo happy to get some Dr martens - for song long i have shunned them but having been doing them for my project at the London College of Fashion (that's LCF really but we do like to cough up the full title to those that don't know. shame) and our relationship has spiralled out of control.
Who wouldn't want/need a pair after all Santa wears them. yes he does.
WHITE DR MARTENS PLEASE otherwise these Raf Simons ones are the pick of the bunch.




And some white ones for good measure.......
