I didn’t mean for it to happen. I didn’t expect it to happen. But while I was away on holidays, I fell in love. The feeling however, was not mutual and I sit here heartbroken as I write this. They didn’t fit. *sigh* I could squeeze my foot into them, but they were too tight. I tried on a 6, which was the biggest they had but it just wasn’t going to happen. I left Topshop and continued to obsess about the Office Brit Pop in Green Patent that would come to haunt my dreams. We found a cafe and [...]

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 [...]

I haven’t done any swatching in about two weeks now, and rather than tell you why, I’ll just show you. Waaaah. Being sick has effed with my immune system big time and my nails are brittle (my hair also looks like doodie, but that’s another story).I’ve got some great stuff sitting on my desk and a new lamp and everything. But alas, it must wait. I’m having somewhat of a fashion crisis at the moment, which I thought I would share with you all, just to see whether I am crazy or not. well, crazy on this topic at least.

When I am bored, I tend to trawl the internet, spending money that I shouldn’t and lusting over things I can’t afford. One of my favourite places for such acitivities is Pinup Girl Clothing. Holy cow could I blow a wad of cash there. Not just on dresses, but bags, shoes and accessories too. Although I spend a lot of time in t-shirts and jeans, when I do have to get dressed up, my tastes tend to lean towards vintage goodies. These are the dresses at the top of my (very huge) wish list. In no particular order… 1. Dolores [...]

I just found this dress while perusing PinupGirl Clothing. I’m still way too broke to buy anything like this, but I am SO in love with it, that it has danced immediately on to my wishlist. I know what I will be asking the boyfriend for this birthday! Estelle Dress in Hunter Green via PinUpGirl The colour that springs to mind that would match this dress perfectly is OPI’s latest addition to their Suede line – Here Today, Aragon Tomorrow. Zoya Veruschka (which I haven’t got around to swatching yet) is another pick. I think that the rough satin material [...]

I’m still wearing my Zoya Jolene & Mode Diamonte combo – I only got my first chip this morning, and that’s probably only because I washed my hair. I’ll probably take it off tonight in favour of one of my new Zoyas – them beetches be wearing like iron on me lately and I don’t always have time to do my nails every day. I did however want to share this swatch of Chi Chi Moondust that was missing from my Night Sky Polish Comparison post. Chi Chi is an Australian brand, and their polishes retail for around $12.95. Moondust, [...]
