Hell on Leather
The silver studs I ordered online finally arrived today, so I was able to start work customising one of my leather jackets. The lapels are covered now, and I added some up the back of the sleeves and round the back of the collar too. Next thing to make is a back piece! I like the way it's going so far, though.
you got a pointy bra, 10-inch waist, long black stockings all over the place...
Also purchased today were the following pieces of lingerie...
...from good ol' Toppers. Topshop are really enjoying a moment for vintage-style bras and I'm certainly not complaining! I would, however, like to complain about the lack of a 'briefs' or 'knickers' page on their website. All they have to offer are 'thongs' (y'all better know how I hate thongs) or boxer shorts for girls (ditto). They DO sell knickers in store, so why the absence online? Means I don't get to post pics of the matching bottoms I got for these bras. But trust me, they're just as cute as their top halves.

Cruising online I found even more lovely bras and 'bralets' to put on my fantasy shopping list. If my boyfriend is reading, take this as less of a hint, more of an order!

Kinky Boots
Today my mum treated me to this fab 'n' kinky pair of black patent leather boots from Dune...
I've been after a pair like these for ages (and a black patent leather belted mac to match for the ultimate in streetwalker chic), the heel is just the right height for everyday wear, and seeing as the leather is waterproof I can happily kid myself that they are 'sensible' footwear for the winter weather.
Because the Lady Loves... Pam Hogg
Just a few pix to show off the wild and wonderful personal style of Ms Hogg.....
Matchy-matchy with Dame Viv.
In black at Alexander McQueen's Memorial.
At the NME Awards with Bobby Gillespie.
In a gorgeous powder blue coat at the Whitechapel Gallery.
In one of the most fabulous fur coats... one of her own, I think (?)
I'm sure I've posted this picture before, but it's a favourite.

Xmas List
I went shopping (again) today and came home with an empty wallet but a mind full of ideas for future purchases (or things I can hint at to generous folk)...
Topshop rings:
Words cannot express how excited I am at the prospect of owning some armour rings. No longer will I walk past that poster of Meatloaf and feel a twinge of jealousy at his golden claw.
Urban Outfitters loafers:

Urban Outfitters loafers:
Was so tempted to buy these today, were it not for the ankle deep snow. I probably wouldn't be able to show them off til April.
ISSA
Time for another wordy post. I always get in the habit of updating with some pretty pictures when I can't think of anything to say, but I'll try and summon up some musings today.
Issa isn't a label I know very much about (but things gonna change) but when I was indulging in my main hobby of 'browsing internet for nice pix' I came across their A/W 2010 catwalk collection and boy is it ME all over..... Feast your eyes:
Red lips? Check. Oversized shades? Check. Shiny shiny leather? Check. The classic movie star-style headscarf scaffolded by the towering quiff is so perfect I could maybe squeeze out a small salty tear. At the moment I may be suffering a fringe but in the past I've always been a s.t.a.u.n.c.h devotee of the quiff/shades/lippie combination.
The 'Q/S/L' when combined with the black headscarf reminds me so much of fashion designer/writer/filmmaker/muse Diane Pernet. Her white skin and kabuki-style black mane set off by a veil and impenetrable shades hae become her trademark and made her an instant favourite of mine.
So, even though the end of Summer fills me with dread (even more so this year - this will be my last EVER 'school holiday' as I'm going into my last year at university. Next summer will be filled with the fear and loathing of having to get a job and enter the real world), the appearance of the A/W clothes in the shops never ceases to excite me. I'll be stocking up on headscarves, cape-like jackets, leather opera gloves and layering different textures of black in true goth fashion. I can't wait - and because I live in Scotland I probably WON'T have to wait very long.......
Til the next time I'm feeling verbally inclined! x
