Mix your metals, wear all your jewels, take the bracelets and run

I want to address something today that's very close to my heart...See, in this "fashion by everybody" climate, it's easy to lose the plot, throw all your crap on your body and call it "avant garde". But that is stupid  never works, it doesn't look good, it might trigger your brain at moments - sure , cocoa puffs trigger my brain, but it's still boring to put them on a pedestal at the Tate Modern. They might not mean anything to you.-

Sometimes it's a good exercise to go back and think, and create something with a bit of value. After all, Picasso was an accomplished realist before he started drawing little blue people, and Britney could belt it out before she started whispering. What I'm trying to say is - There's ways and ways of pouring your silverware onto your arms without it being a random aglomeration of gold and gunmetal.

So onto the practical side of things, this is what I did. Say for instance -hypothetically- that you wanna wear your rose gold watch and your silver Great Frog skulls. Unlikely because the watch is is a ladies' and you're probably a guy if you own the bracelet, but nevermind. This is a very real problem. The pairing is not in harmony - it is not -. However. "In life everything is possible" (said the YSL sales assistant when I told her I really couldn't afford that 1700 pounds handbag), and with a little bit of adding up and shuffling around, we can actually come up with a combo that's quite modern and becoming:

I decided to wear this today and I really shouldn't have because it was FREEZING (5ºC it says?). We've been predicted snow in two days time so, expect to see my hardcore winter gear by the end of the week. That said I did layer a lot and it wasn't *too* bad. Everything as expected...black jeans, 3 black sweaters. Same as ALWAYS. i have very fixed ideas

This is nothing special, but I'm very careful not to omit wearable, everyday things. I know that's what I like seeing on other people cause it gives me ideas. Today I wore all my snuggly stuff on. I'm still feeling a little funny, and I just wanted to be warm and comfortable. I went to Portobello

You all know I love a bit of dress up. I found this fox fur collar the other day at Portobello and I'm getting seriously dependant on it. It even looks good on this jacket.

Noir sans maquillage

I St.Tropez'ed two days ago and it looks super natural (love St.Tropez) Still trying to figure out what to use on my face though- I tried Perricone's tanner and it gave me a huge spot. St.Tropez face is fine but gives me blackheads which I'd like to avoid

P
Who's been snacking on sushi again? You're gonna turn into a little fish. And then you'll swim away in the winter rain, never to be seen again
D
hahaha! you should write these things down

Anyway, I'd like to avoid anything that irritates my skin, it's just not worth it.  I think I'm gonna try Clarins Liquid Bronze next, I've heard great things about it. We'll see 

 

The wines, the headpiece

I've been wearing variations of this outfit all the time. The suede boots, some shorts or skirt..I haven't taken off these tights except to wash them! Love them.

I curled my hair with rollers today. With all these brazilian blowdry business I really miss my curly hair. I still love the brazilian because of the shine and tame-ability it gives, but I definitely prefer my hair wavy. 

The cuffs

You might or might not know, that I am obsessed with cuffs

I wish every day was Halloween

Halloween celebrations started today for me. I really wanted to do a full get-up this year, so I got a victorian ghost dress, and did a quick hairstyle! Loved loved loved this outfit, it was so much fun.
