Folk Supernatural - Lilla Balazs

OK, I know I have been moaning for weeks now about the onset of Winter. I'm sorry.. it's a proper downer but lets face it, nasty, grey, cold days are just poo. You are either too cold or about to pass out from heat exhaustion because you're overdressed for the bus ride to work OR you just don't have enough hands to manage the scarf, glove, hat, umbrella additions to your outfit while looking for the ringing phone at the bottom of your bag. With that said, there are positive sides too. In these times of cold you get to indulge in warm wine, sleeping in AND best of all, having the perfect excuse to purchase another (preferably statement) coat to add to your collection!!!!

This year I choose the embellished gem of a coat from the A/W13 collection of Lilla Balazs. Recently graduated, this London based fashion, textiles and accessories designer draws on her Hungarian roots to create a collection she calls Folk Supernatural. These heavily embellished garments are just too dreamy and bring a whole new understanding to the ideas of modern folk dressing.









The way I see it.. if you need to be warm you might as well look good!

I cant put my finger on it but something in this shoot sums up this week. It could be the darkness of the clothes and make up against the seemingly sunny (yet freezing) back drop... whatever t is... Holidays are near for all.

This Room Is In Use and Full Of Bulgari

Anyone who knows me, knows I wear a lot of black. I love colour... don't get me wrong but for me, black is where it is at. As luck would have it, there is nothing better than black to offset some serious sparkles. Want a perfect example? Take a look at these dripping in Bulgari, dark, sparkly and killer cool images by Greta Ilieva for the latest Wonderland Magazine.

Now all I have to do is swap my chincy faux jewellery for some some serious grown up bling. Ha, like that will ever happen.. unless... where is that lotto ticket????

To Fast For Love & A Bit of Mötley Crüe Too

I'm enjoying a lazy Sunday morning lying in. I just love chilling under the duvet with a cup of tea and a good read.. it all seems so decadent. Although, my choice of Sunday morning reading is not quite as chilled and totally puts my wussy ideas of decadence to shame. I'm currently indulging in 'The Heroin Diaries' by the notorious Nikki Sixx. NOT, light Sunday morning reading to say the least as any story of addiction is ultimately a sad one but it's hard not to get musically and visually seduced by early 80's hedonistic LA.  Mötley Crüe with all their motorcycles, whisky and strip clubs have the ultimate New York Dolls mixed with Kiss brilliance and will never be surpassed when is comes to big hair and tight pants.











As much as I really love all that hair, fabulous make up and tight, tight.... tight leather trousers, Mötley Crüe has some friggen seriously kick ass tunes. FACT.

Time to crank the stereo up to a billion... Dr Feelgood is waiting!!!

I know I still have to get through a full day of work, endless to do lists, boring errands and fake smiles. I know the day could not look any greyer or the bus trip get longer.. BUT, you know what... I have a fabulous Friday feeling and even though I don't have a single plan for the following two days.... I bet they are going to be the BEST!!!!

Time to embrace Friday as fun day...
