This is my third year writing this post (wow, how time flies! See 2010 here and 2011 here) and I am such a fan of lists and putting your wishes down on paper, or a blog entry in this instance, that I am going to do it again. Not only because it seems to have some sort of cosmic HTF attracting powers when I do these posts, but also because it’s fun to look back upon lemmings fulfilled. 2011 was a good year on many fronts, especially for ticking things off the ol’ wishlist. Rarities procured in the last 12 [...]

So yeah, it’s kinda Sunday. I know, I know. But you gotta admit, I’m getting better. At this rate I might actually have it up on Saturday next week. I would have posted yesterday, but I spent pretty much the whole day watching V: The Original Mini Series. Does anyone else think Marc Singer looks like Kevin Bacon? Anyone? Okay, just me then. Clarins Metallica, OPI Greenwich Green Cele Petroleum, Zoya Kym OPI Plum Full of Cheer (alternate view), LA Splash Ocean Fairy Barry M Indigo, Nicole Such a Go-Glitter (over Barry M Indigo) Urban Decay Metropolitan, Accesorize Aztec (alternate [...]

It’s not often that I post twice in a day, but I was going through my flickr looking for fodder content for my last post and I saw so many things that I had photographed and planned to talk about that I never actually got to. So here’s one of them. Back in May, I bought a really kickass necklace from a UK designer called Kreepsville 666. I first saw the necklace on Pinup Girl Clothing, but as that seems to be the hub for all things cute, creepy or vintage, it sold out really quickly. Thankfully they were still [...]

Wow. What a week! Unfortunately it was all work, work, work and hardly any play though so once again, I arrive (almost) empty handed. I was going to wait until I had some swatches again to post, but I found a whole heap of haul pics on my camera, and even got around to setting up my light box again to take pics of the new stuff. So well… here we are. My nails have grown back to a respectable level so hopefully I won’t break them again and I’ll be able to swatch more stuff over the weekend. I [...]

Life, camera problems (as in there are no pics on the camera because I didn’t take any), broken nails, dry cuticles, killer flu and being outrageously busy have all prevented me from continuing with my dupe posts this week, so I spare you the horror that is my swatching hand for a few more days and we will return you to regular programming next week. But that doesn’t mean that I can’t write up some inane dribble a totally kick ass post, right? I am on a no buy at the moment, because in a mere 10 weeks I will [...]
