Thursday Playlist : Exhale

Happppy last day of January, everyone! Holy smokes that went by fast! even with having the sniffles & snow fall here in the U.K. All better now... and ready to take on February with some new song tracks. I have a movie marathon month ahead of me to catch up on Oscar-nominated films, so far I've managed to see Django Unchained & Argo, both movies were pretty decent, particularly the actor named Christopher Waltz who's equally engaging to watch, like he was in Inglorious Basterds. 

The film work usually captivates me more so, than who is wearing who on the Oscars red carpet, though Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week just went by and I couldn't help but envision which one-of-a-kind pieces would look stunning for the film awards season and premieres.  –  so how was your January folks ? 

I claim no responsibility should you go deaf ; )

Designer Cloning - Spoof Tees & Tops

You know they say, fake it till you make it. I didn't think it can be applied to designer goods and labels, UNLESS maybe they are blatantly ridiculously fake with a spoof take on it! I'm all for a little humor and tongue in cheek and there's quite a few out there, my fave are from the Brian Lichtenberg online store. 

Holographics on the Runway + High Street

Holla holla gram! If I could choose a favorite color, my color would be the spectrum waves off a hologram. Ok, I know your thinking that doesn't count as a color, but holographic's just brings out my inner child, zombie childplay like trance.

Pamper or Prey : Curved Heel Shoe

WALTER STEIGER SIDE GORE ANKLE  £261  / ALDO AGREDA £62.99

Saint Nicholas has probably put away his big red suit and black boots and decided to shave his beard and let Rudolph and the gang rein free, whilst making plans to lay on a beach to bask in the sun with his flip flops and sun hat on. He'll have no more mention of the 'C' word, until that time of year comes around once again!

Just how I'm feeling right now, that limbo land between the Holidays and New Year! Mind you.. sounds like I'm complaining, but I assure you, I'm feasting on copious amounts of leftovers, whilst wearing super cozy fleece pajamas and socks and watching movie marathons up to my eyeballs. My only course of action is scouring the sales online!      

Footwear and handbags are on my main agenda, I've had my eye on the Aldo Agreda shoe, which has that Walter Steiger's signature curve heel look. Good Luck scouring the SALES everyone!! http://www.aldoshoes.com/ca  

Thank You for being a lurker, follower and a friend. See you all in 2013.

Love always,

{ DIY } Fentimans Candle Holder

I've been drinking up a storm, not the alcohol kind .. just yet! BUT the Fentiman's botanically brewed beverages, I do love a good fizzy drink and you can't beat these fine ol' naturally flavored beverages, they come in delightful old style clear glass bottles, with a screw top lid with delightful vintage packaging. So I decided to use these bottles to create a DIY bottle candle holder. 

I had to shave some of the wax off the bottom of the candles, since the candles I had stored, were a tad little thick to insert into the bottle top. In the end a super easy homemade DIY, that will be placed somewhere as a decorative centerpiece. :)

My final post before plump and jolly Saint Nicholas pays a visit ! "Happy Holidays to all, and to all much love and good-night!" X

The FOUR's Mondaine Collection FW 12/13

You could say 'Three' is the magic number for the Hungarian trio Anett Gálvölgyi, Anna Zsófia Kormos and Márton Miovác who are the young designers behind the relatively new brand The FOUR. These two young women and young man, joined forces whilst attending the Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design in Budapest, and I'm glad they did! whilst peering over their enticing well styled look-book.

the FOUR new collection, Mondaine, incorporates the idea of travel and globalism, cosmopolitan, reconstructed identity

Photography – Balázs Máté 

Styling – Andi Gönczy 

Make-up – Ágnes Horváth 

Hair – Márton Miovác  Models – Julia at VM, Adrienn at FACE

The rich thick fabrics with rich patterns and embroideries seem to be inspired by African and Asian textiles. If I could, I would snap up every outerwear from this collection, a 100 x times faster than the above travelling escalator. 

I will see you later escalator ...

Winter Statement Headwear

I think tomorrow is a say-something-hat day. (Vida Boheme)

I reckon, I am more of a dog person than a cat person, but hey.. they are both beautiful furry creatures. Now I don't own a cat or a dog, hopefully one day, but right now... I do own some cat ear beanies! Which I'm kind of rinsing, in this nippy weather, but they do keep me warm. Though named cat ear beanies, they however remind me of small rabbit ears too.

Thanks to Givenchy, there is a wide range of cat- rabbit ears and devil horned head-wear. I brought mine through a shopping haul on G Market, but Ebay has the works for pretty much dirt cheap. Creating the sporty chic look that suits your fancy.
