Now Accepting Donations: Inquire Within

For the past three weeks, every time I go into work I slip this bad boy on and the other PR staffer Torah and I have a major swoon sesh, convincing ourselves that we need it in our lifes. Out comes the calculator, the budget book and the list of pro's and con's. The con's of course, are along the lines of "it would be a CON if it weren't in my life"...

I'm considering lay-bying this bad boy for self-21st birthday present (which is coming up in July). I don't like jewellery, I don't want a car, I don't want some party dress I'll wear only once, and I'm obsessed with fur. So it makes sense...right?


Though it wouldn't be just a birthday present, it would be a graduation present, a commemoration to my big move and a pat on the back for my general goal kicking over the past few years.

Somebody tell me this is a good move.

PS. Torah, if you're reading this: I still shot-gun the size 8. Love always, Thun Luzzy.xox

Lust List: Mochila Inspired

There's something so raw and exposed about Mochila bags (or backpacks if you translate), like you can feel every stitch, every weave, every emotion that has gone into each one. My obsession with these bags also stems into leather work. Tassels, embroidery, embossing and thatch work are all on my lust list at the moment. I'm still waiting to find a bag that combines all of the above. An eclectic mish-mash owned by a half-Aztec-half-Columbian bare-backing cowgirl gypsy queen.

Show me your favourites in the comments.

Lust List: Eye-wear

Sequential to my trip down memory lane the other day, as promised here is my current eye-wear lust list.

After going on a trying-on rampage in the city yesterday and pissing of shop boys and girls the mall over (I'm looking at you Shades), I thankfully knocked quite a few contenders out of the competition, however the last few are still vying for the prime position on the leader board aka. my face.

In third place we have the Karen Walker Super Duper Strength frames. Thick heavy frames (me like), round with a hint of cat-eye, perfect for hiding a multitude of sins, even though this multitude can include err, my entire bone structure (me no like). Like, hello, I need my cheekbones! Still, for the sake of fashion I do love these. Swoon!

In second place we have another strong contender from Karen Walker, this time round it's of the  tortoise variety with the Number One's. The structural kitty silhouette frames also remind me of Bat Man, though I have absolutely no idea why so I'm just going to go with it. It worked for me with my old Persol's and it's still working for me now. You do the math.

Coming in under the radar to take first place are the sneaky Betsy frames by Isson. Cute name aside, they're a bit more Bat Manish than the others which I'm tres digging. Also a bit awkward; the frame at the top doesn't quite know what's going on (like me a lot of the time) and it's trying to be cool (me, again) and it's kinda getting there but it still makes you think hold on, do I hate this or do I love this? A bit of an aesthetic dilemma never goes astray. My only problem (who am I kidding). One of many of my problems is do I want the black or do I want the purple which is equally as compelling in the love/hate relationship stakes.

The jury is still out, so I may kind of really desperately need your advice on this one.... s'il vous plait?

Lust List: Bra Lovin'

Following on from this post, here is some more fluro bra lovin' via One Teaspoon's 2011 winter collection - though I can't say I'm a fan of Bambi's pained expression. Hasn't the poor dear heard of prunes?

I am absolutely lusting over these Austen Floral Shoes. Conceived by collaboration between shoe king Jeffrey Campbell and the owners of Pixie Market, I hope I get a chance to snap these up before the feverish masses beat me to it.Share

Dear EvilTwin poncho

Dear EvilTwin poncho,

I must own you ASAP.

I will wear you with shiny black platform stilettoes, black leather leg warmers and some sort of black dead animal.

Is this okay with you?
