New Boots

...since I ruined my old pair of witchy boots by getting them all caked in plaster....

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.

In Praise of... Topman?!

Yeah, not something I ever thought I'd be raving about, but Topman have some great jewellery in at the moment - almost better than their TopSHOP sistas.
While looking for Christmas presents for my 16-yr old brother (what do teenage boys like?? Any ideas??) I happened upon these beauties to fill my own stocking.... if I can wait that long.

Bat brooch - £6. This will look lovely on my new long black velvet hooded cape. The man in the shop said they also do bat necklaces. Need to prowl in the bigger branch to check these out.

Silver cross two finger ring - £4. Have been after one of these for ages. I would be slightly perturbed if I saw a man wearing either the brooch or the ring, these are strictly witchywoo items, not for the trenchcoat mafia!

Also showcased in thee above photographs is my latest manicure effort. I'd been the proud owner of long and strong talons for months until the other night when I broke them while trying to open a taxi door. If only there were chivalrous men in the world........ Anyway, I decided to make the best of my newly little nails with a coat of my new Accessorize nail polish in Shade 6 (virtually identical to Topshop's 'Lead') and dipping the tips in gold glitter by W7.

Accessorize nail polish - £4 / W7 glitter polish - £1.99

Today's Purchases

Earrings (set of 2): Urban Outfitters £8.00 / Ring: Topshop £8.50

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:

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.

Student Loan: Say Hello, Wave Goodbye.

Well I didn't end up buying ANYTHING from my previous post. It was that old chestnut of things looking great on t'internet and looking a bit crap IRL. Instead, I blitzed around the high street in record time (1 hour, thanks to dreary Glasgow weather and an inundation of University freshers making me not want to hang about too long) and got the following to kick-start my A/W wardrobe...

I'm especially chuffed with the skirt, from the teen section of New Look. Occasionally being petite has its perks, such as being able to fit into kids' clothes and not having to pay VAT. There's been a lot of bitching done about those animal hats from River Island, though I think the one getting the most flack is the panda hat which does look a bit daft. Mine has ears and pom pom things, but I think it errs more on the sassy, catwoman side than the twee, novelty side.
I also got a sheer leopard print onesie from good old H&M, but alas - no pictures on the interweb.

Bored, so...

Here's what I'm planning to purchase from New Look's A/W selection, if I can find them in the maze of the Buchanan St store. Winter = fur, leather and velvet. Bring it on.
