oxidised.

these rings are by 'balnikova', who first came to my attention through following this blog - i was flattered when i looked up her flickr because i absolutely love her stuff. top of my wish list is the 'mini knuckleduster' in oxidised silver (top image) and these really sweet rock rings made from polymer clay (below).

rainbow hair.

it's a bit late in the day to be posting about dip-dyed hair but this really takes my fancy and inspires a very fresh colour palette - especially the candyfloss pink against the teal blue. the original image is of gwyneth tang taken by 'hanneli' last october.

blazin'.

i am absolutely desperate for a pair of these nike blazers, they come in amazing colours including a mustard yellow and a cherry red. nike can do no wrong.. give them to me. available from office.

perfumed pages.

i've had these magazine tears for years and i still really like them.  there's something about the chunky font which gives them a bit of attitude.

into the gloss.

here's a panoramic of some of my better looking beauty products i can't live without.  head over to 'into the gloss' for more beautiful people, products and pictures. it's like 'the coveted' but for make up and the best beauty blog out there at the moment.

inside the wardrobe.

i find it really funny how fascinated we are with other people's belongings. don't know if it's a british thing with our incessant nosey-ness or if this is a worldwide hobby but i always find it amusing when friends come over and 'go through' my wardrobe and bookshelves. the coveted (which i have posted about recently) go further than providing images of people's belongings by also quenching my particular thirst for layout, more specifically how people arrange their wardrobes.  These images are from the wardrobes of fiona green, joanna hillman and mona sharf.

on the wall.

as much as i love a white wall, it's a great space to use as an interchangeable mood board - i can't take a decent enough picture of the bits and bobs i have up on the wall in front of my desk at the moment, so here are two lovely images i've found for the time being..

the coveted.

head over to the coveted - a 'behind-the scenes' website founded by Erin Kleinberg and Stephanie Mark, photographed by Jake Rosenberg.  it gives you a look into the closets of some of the more influential names in the industry and is one of the most inspiring sites (in terms of inspiring you to go out and make money, and lots of it).  this is elite fashion but definitely worth a look.

tcs.

styling work i did in the summer for the convenience store. head over there with your credit card to get your contemporary fashion fix - the only uk stockist for heikki salonen.

core of the cave.

seem to be doing one too many star themed posts so this is the last one. (for now) - i'm just really drawn to the colours. would be so good printed on velvet and mounted onto the ceiling of a car.

slickest logo in the world.

hair (again).

don't know why i'm posting up so much about hair (especially as the wang-inspired braid movement seems to be over) but this 'do' really takes my fancy - think it's to do with the white tones in her hair, it would look amazing with proper old, silver locks.

ivory.

used these images a while back as the main inspiration behind my cos project and am still absolutely in love with them. have searched high and low but can't find the originals anywhere - these are via 'some required'.

gold leaf.

trend: there's a big beauty trend with gold at the moment and i'm pretty sure it'll trickle down into clothing very soon.  i really like the rawness of the gold foiling and think it could look really cool on garments - collars and cuffs of shirts, the bottom of jackets etc. gonna try it out for sure.

youth.

these images make me want to cut-off my jeans, listen to my walkman and skate around the city in the sun.

balanced.

i want to live here, they've found a perfect balance of old and new and although light and airy it feels really cosy.  image via '16 house'

bag it up.

got this bag from cos for christmas.  it's an amalgamation of three celine bags so suits me just fine. love it up.

the index.

all-star girl.

timeless style.  i'm going to get back into wearing my white converse high-tops - they have such a classic, cool look.  this was my favourite girl from last fashion week - she really stood out to me -effortless, laid-back style.
