Since Yesterday
Got my crimpers out again and today I'll be channelling Jill and Rose...
P.S. Check out Rose's NAILS!
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
Bygone Fashion
Just discovered a great livejournal style blog, Bygone Fashion. Here are some images by the photographer Mark Shaw who shot some of the most classic and elegant fashion photos of the 1950s/1960s and was also known for his documentation of the Kennedys home life.

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.
More Miles
I've just posted some Miles Aldridge images that relate to my own work over on my art blog The Nova Express, but here are some more purely for eye candy's sake.

Any excuse to break out the Babyliss crimpers again! Love the make-up in this shoot.
Zobop
This is relatively old news, but I just discovered it today:
Necklace by Matthew Williamson, inspired by the work of Glasgow artist Jim Lambie. Created as part of Williamson's collection for Atelier Swarovski and featured in his SS10 runway show.
