you heard what i said bunny!

wishing a happy easter to all my ragga-muffins...

something to sink your teeth into

I feel it is about time I went to some trouble and posted a proper 'outfit post'.

I have been basically wearing variations of this outfit for the last three weeks. The leopard camisole is probably my favourite wardrobe item at the moment. It is so simple and easy to wear, and is satisfying my leopard-faze.

Annnnd I am not embarrassed to admit that I own the matching shorts, and shirt to go with this BL skirt. That is Bettina Liano, not Blind Librarian.

Shoes, although you can't see them are like blocks of black lego strapped to my feet. Kind of a cross between prostitute creepers and those japanese clog-foot things. Sah hot beb.

Ba-bling ba-bling is courtesy of Diva and Wolf circus. I know, Diii-vah, cringe. But I was so pleasantly surprised and excited when I went there the other day, and the spiked gold cuff and eye-can-see-you ring that I stepped out with were enough to turn that cringe into a cry of delight. Not as tacky as I thought...

I apologise for the weird images– I cannot resist the ol' photoshop, and have an obsession with over editing.

A bit of me on your plate. Nothing like some fatoush in your feed.

No idea what I'm on about? Its called Instagram– get on it.

I have been clogging the feed with snaps of life that would make the lion king proud. I am tired people. I can't write. God I can't even read.

Just look at the pretty pictures and feel content.

Do do list for tomorrow…

1. BUY THE NEW ISSUE OF OYSTER

2. Rangle with the loss of day-light savings, and try and get up after 7am.

3. Try and tame my hair without the aid of a hair-straitener

4. Try and have a better day then i did last week– i swear last wednesday was the worst day of my life.

I just had to share this with you guys. Way too cute...

Me want Mawi

Please excuse the extremely annoying title. I literally could not come up with anything better– and that's really saying something. Normally I revel in the challenge of coming up with some witty, adjective laden phrase, but today I simply cannot

be

bothered.

This probably has something to do with the fact that I have spent the last few days writing endless numbers of articles packed with attempted humour. I expect the last few are more draining to read than they were to write.

So while traipsing through my endless piles of emails I cam across this literal gem of a link. Registering for M'Oda Operandi was well worth the effort just for this one find. Yes, lovelies, this is absolute gold. (yes even despite my grammatical weariness I still manage to pull something half funny from my bottom).

I have only heard of Mawi a couple of times (the exact time and place eludes me) but this time round, I am not going to forget.

A perfect fusion of spiked bracelets, rose gold linkages, blackened stones and textured metal come together in a metamorphasis of absolute genial. These cuffs put ASOS to shame and have jewellery designer scurrying back to their metal hot-house in wonder, amazement and utter embarrassment.

There is nothing I could say that would sum up the magic of these jewellery items.

Far beyond my wildestfinancial dreams, these beauties will never charm any wrist, lobe or finger of mine, but to be honest, the pictures alone are enough to add some magic to my day.

In other news, today I am heading off to check out the Bettina Liano warehouse sale. You know, it wasn't until about 2 weeks ago that ˆ discovered that BL was more than just a year-ten jeans brand. There was a time during my schooling where every girl had a pair of BL's and those who didn't have that haughtily obvious yellow tag protruding from their buttock was seen as an absolute dag. I never succumbed to the peer pressure, but from that point forward BL was tarnished with the snooty hinds of my peers.

Getting over this mis-perception was quite an achievement on my behalf and now I am pleasantly interested and intrigued by this Australian brand.

In risk of overloading your mind, and well, destroying my half-asleep one, I will leave you to marvel in the beauty of Mawi.

Buon weekend!
