VANILLA TWILIGHT


I know I didn't do a Christmas "haul" post, mainly because the word "haul" makes me think of the word "hurl", need I go further... Anyway, here are a few of my Christmas/recent acquisitions, INCLUDING THE JEFFREY CAMPBELL LITAS, which I've definitely not made enough noise about! It's just a generally divine shoe - I was hoping that a cooling-off period (of 2 years!) would help me get over them, but no. Here I am, 9 inches taller and an infinite amount happier.

Also, the top picture is of a cosmetics set from Manufaktura, an incredible Czech cosmetics brand (whose products are a lot more impressive than their website). Now, I rarely get patriotic towards my half-home country, but maaaan the discovery of Manufaktura made me dance the jiggle. Whatever that may be. Then there's my satchel from The Leather Satchel Company which is just the most amazingly British addition to any girl's closet, and a new travel watercolour palette which I had to get because I'm one of those freaks who can't walk out of an art store empty-handed.... And my first somewhat elaborate attempt at fiddling with it.

LFW // POCAHONTAS



dress by Rare, shoes by Jeffrey Campbell, jewelry from Zara and Topshop

London Fashion Week is upon us and who could resist the temptation of playing dress up? Seeing as the closest most of us will get to front-row seats is Topshop and Google's collaboration live stream (no complaints there tbh), pulling out my funkiest heels and dress just seemed like the right thing to do. Especially considering the fact that as everyone was flying into London to join the party, I depressingly found myself on an outbound flight, ever the (im)perfect timing. Nonetheless, let's thank our lucky stars we've been blessed with the digital era and make our cyber presence known. Amen.

WINTER NYMPH


model: Scharolta Si.

A free winter spirit, full of innocence and wonder... I guess we didn't intend for this shoot to come out quite so twilight-esque, but everyone needs a bit of vampirification in their lives and I'm sure you'll all agree that Scharolta looks beautiful. Hopefully that will at least slightly atone for my making the poor girl roll around in the snow in a light jumper and a pair of tights...


P.S. Thank you soso much to those of you who have nominated me for the Liebster Award - I promise to do the post as soon as possible and apologise for the delay! I'll ensure to make it worth your while =)
