It has been a very long time since I have posted a DIY article, so I though this would be a great opportunity to show you, my first, actually and probably last for quite some time, DIY. I came across Ashley Madekwe’s blog a month or so ago and particularly loved this outfit on her, but more specifically I found myself drooling over her jacket. I really liked the idea of mixing silver and gold studs, more so the fact that she had studded the jacket herself motivated me to try it out myself. Little did I know, studs are real little buggers! Yes, I am very aware that studs are ‘very two seasons ago’ but I couldn’t care less, plus I don’t have anything studded. So I ordered myself a nice big pack of pyramid studs from the ‘retired punk’ (ebay seller) and waited for them to arrive. Once they did I got straight to work on my jacket, except wait I don’t have any of the tools necessary. I knew that if I didn’t start now I never would. I used various techniques to put the studs on, i.e. knifes, scissors and anything else i could get my little pores on, but none worked better than my teeth :/
So that is the last time I am doing a DIY involving 175 very small studs, but nevertheless I am very found of my new studded jacket and it was worth every single scrape and scratch. It’s not really an outfit post, just pictures of a very proud owner and her new studded jacket, now minus all the scrapes and scratches

There is something so paradoxal, and yet so comforting about watching some of the most beautiful collections on absolutely drop dead gorgeous women from the comfort of one bed. I love this idea of drooling over beads, tulle, floral silk, furs whilst still being in my pijamas. It simply just makes me smile. Anyway here are my top three and I must say Diane’s latest collection about “a man in a woman’s body: smile, seduce, be proud to be you” completely did it for me. I love the idea of frilly, pretty and layered dresses/skirts under very tailored and manly jackets, paired with ridiculous accessories and killer heels.
1. Diane Von Furstenberg
2. Jason Wu
3. Anna Sui (The one that I least expected to blow me away)
I just wanted to share these lovely rings with you guys. The street ring is the new concept of Maleen Neel. The idea is pure perfection; Straight from the start it’s a child’ game of pick and mix. First you chose between the Alley and the Boulevard ring, you then simply chose your size, then you chose three stones among the 47 stones available you would like to receive FOR FREE, and voila. The price is very reasonable too, 132,66 euros to be exact.
I really am not quite sure what put me off this collection or the previous one, or even the Jimmy Choo collection for that matter. I don’t know if it was all the sneak peaks and the talks surrounding the unveiling of the collections, or if it was the idea of queuing up for hours to end up having something that thousands of other women will have or if it was the collections themselves that simply didn’t attract me. But this suffise to say that I did no queuing, and own nothing from these collection,however I must say that every time I did end up feeling like I missed out and could have found something I really would have liked. Anyway, I was curious to see what the courage fashion bloggers, those who did stand in line for hours in the hopes of snagging that one special item they were lusting over, actually brought and what they did with they Sonia Rykiel x H&M garments. Did you guys buys any Sonia Rykiel x H&M? if so what did you get?
I must apologise for the disturbance on the website, as a lot of you already know I changed hosts, so let’s hope things are better know. Also, apologies for the lack of posts, I am due to presente my thesis on Friday so I have my head stuck in my books for the while and my outfits consist of pyjamas, leggings and hoodies, i.e. certainly nothing worth showing :)
I brought this jumpsuit some time ago now and it has been at the bottom of my wardrobe ever since, I attempted to wear it a couple of time but it was a failed attempt every time, either the shoes were not right of the length was just off. Anyway I ended up wearing it one night, pairing it with high heels and rolling up the bottoms and I really liked it. I wore it here during the day with a jumper thrown on top and I quite like the result. even though the sun graced us with its presence it was no were near warm enough to take pictures without the jumper, so I will leave that for another post. Word of advice, if you do end up wearing a jumpsuit to a party, be advised not to spend to much time at the bar and visiting the bathroom ends up being a real expedition with one of these things!
