Blow By Blow.

I was a lucky enough girl that for Christmas I got a Kindle from my Mum & Dad. Best thing I have ever got as it is simple, easy & can go with me anywhere & everywhere.



The first book that I read on it was 'Blow By Blow: The Story Of Isabella Blow' by her husband Detmar Blow & Tom Sykes. It was such a wonderful read & I would highly recommend it to any real fashion fans.


It depicts the life of this wonderful but tragic character who had an absolute love & eye for fashion creative. She is famously known for her kickstarting the careers of Alexander McQueen & Philip Treacy. It is a truly fascinating story with an unforgettable end. Go. Read. Now.

Bewitching Jewels.



What a wonderful Sunday it has been! Went out for a coffee/pastry with a dear friend and a look round the more expensive shops of Edinburgh. I love to pretend to have the money to afford their pretty goods they have to offer.

While having a right good spy at all the designer lines, I was stopped in my tracks by the most magnificent clutch. The Alexander McQueen knuckle-duster clutch to be exact! Just look at it... sheer beauty!




This has also made me desire and wish for one of McQueen's cocktail rings. If anyone is reading and wished to buy me a present in the near future, the antique gold-tone plated brass skull cocktail ring with bumble-bee swarovski crystals would do nicely, thank you very much!
