Surely Not!

Really? I spotted this on the American Apparel website and laughed. I don't think this will look cute on anyone, not even the coolest lady, actually the only person that springs to mind who could possibly look ok in a scrunchie is Whitney from The City and perhaps Correy Kennedy. Maybe. I'd have to see it. And I tried to find a picture but nope. If you find one email me!!!

I have terrible photos from my childhood of me sporting homemade scrunchies that match my outfit. I remember my Mum made them from all her old patchwork fabric. Frightening! I don't remeber this from SATC but this is quite hilarious!

It was all Yellow...

As you know I quite enjoy Natalie Portman and a friend sent me this pic of her. And I was quite shocked! I wouldn't have thought she'd be a yellow nail-polish wearer! She gets away with it though without it looking tacky, cheessy or twee which I'm pretty sure is what I'd look like if I sported this colour! I wonder if this is whats 'in' at the moment in the world of nailpolish?

I do LOVE nail polish at the moment, I must admit. Not sure why! Maybe it's because I have been typing lots lately and enjoy capturing a pretty painted nail when I glance at the keyboard. I have been enjoying these colours lately dark plums , light solid and barbie pinks. But I would love to try that mushroom colour, blue and lilac!

P.S: Maybe I should try this! haha just joking! Oh Heidi when will you learn- though I love your tackiness!

Tilly Bloom!

We got this perculiar jewellery by Tilly Bloom (all the way from Brooklyn, US) into the shop last week and its quite great so I thought I'd share it with you! The kitty dressed up makes me laugh! I heart it!

Gullig! (thats swedish for cute!)

I would like to drink from this cup and eat from this plate! These lovely things are by the talented and super cool Swedish duo Camilla and Elisabeth who run Studio Violet! I know moustache paraphernalia seems to be in the 'in' thing at the moment (I am seeing necklaces galore!)-just like last season it was wolfies and the season before it was owls! Us lala girls like these cutesy things all the time (I especially enjoy everything deer-like!)

Studio Violet are so cute they have re-claimed porcelain cups, teapots and plates and worked their magic and waaala nifty little pieces of art. Oh, I want to go to Sweden!

You Smell

Last night I went out for a delightful dinner of tapas with my girlfriends at Imp Cafe (oh the food was delish and they do the best breakfasts too!) and a funny thing happened! Our lovely waiter came to take our order and he's like"Which one of you lovely ladies are wearing Lolita Lempicka perfume?" I was like me!!!

Now, this man was a really manly man (a tall, dark, chest-hair type) and us girls were really impressed he not only knew the name of my perfume but without a pause went on to list off 5 other scents he considered 'sexy and irresistible" (they included Gucci Rush, Versace- the one in the woman torso bottle and dolce&gabbana Light Blue and a few more neither of us girls could remember!) I was not only chuffed (because I agree Lolita Lempicka is one of my favourite perfumes) but have to say his girlfriend is one lucky lady as her man has a fantastic taste in smells!

Our waiters' observation lead into a deep discussion about whether your scent makes you more attractive and had any of us found 'our' scent. I have so many perfumes and can't really say I have found the one and only scent that defines me as a woman. But out of my collection I have a top 3 I really enjoy wearing!

1. Lolita Lempicka (for obvious reasons!!!!)
2. Sun Moon Star by Karl Lagerfeld (long lasting and powerful-I couldn't find the ad campaign for this, well it was launched in 1994!)
3. Daisy by Marc Jacobs (such a nice everyday perfume, love the bottle + their ad campaign!

One of my girlfriends only wears Issey Miyake- its so her, and when I smell Elizabeth Arden Red Door it instantly reminds me of my mum and when I get a whiff of Tommy Girl is reminds me of being a teen. I think the concept of having a distinct fragrance is really beautiful and I can see why so many celebrities create their own! I just wonder if they actually wear it.... Do you have a favourite fragrance?

P.S I regret not asking our waiter what man perfume he wore...maybe I'll go back for breakfast tomorrow....haha

disco-naps

This is what I feel like today...ho-hum, tired, exhausted, sleepy, computer eyes....
I'll post something nice and fashion-y tomorrow, pinky promise!!!!
