The Magic box of Solange Azagury-Partridge....

The mere mentioning of Solange Azagury-Partridge's jewellery leaves me feeling breathless. Each piece comes with a magic that transcends beyond your imagination & time, that rare Alice in wonderland moment that leaves you reminiscent of your childhood. A true modern day visionary, Azagury-Partridge allows you to enter her world of surrealism & poetry.









And now for my favourite collection of all......Hot lips! Awwwwwww.......

After dark FLASHBACK.......Janet Jackson 'IF'

I remember this song with such fondness, first of all this video is the hotness!!!

Gosh.....I rehearsed the dance moves from Janet Jackson's 'If' from Winter 2000-Spring 2001 (yes, perfecting the moves of 'Miss Jackson if your nasty' takes that long). Laying down each move without flaws became an obssession, not one person that came to visit left our house without having watched me do the WHOLE routine at least once. To make matters worse, Christmas of 2000, I had been rehearsing sooooo hard that I hurt my back & couldn't walk. My dad was like 'If you can dance like that to Janet Jackson, you can walk around the corner for Christmas mass.' lol! I was not laughing at the time BELIEVE me!!!

Boy, how time flies....This midnight flashback just makes me want to do it all over again. (Sings) If I was your girl, la la la la la la la........ :)

Enjoy!

My wants, my needs.......

I am in dire need of the following items:

(BIG LONG LASTING SIGHS)

1. Wolford Fringe tights



2. Burberry Prorsum Cutout leather sandals



3. Helmut Lang Wool-blend jacket



4. Alexander Wang Diego suede studded bucket bag

To wear a coat or not to wear a coat?

I realised at the end of September that for the past two winters I had got away with NOT wearing a coat. I wore cotton jackets, blazers and everything but a coat. Since I had managed to do this for two years, I thought I would get away with it again 3rd winter in a row. The funny thing is I have no idea what I was remotely trying to prove, if anything at all. You see I actually HEART the season winter & reap the utmost joy and pleasure in wrapping up in the best wool number I can find. Over the years this has come in the form of a Burberry quilted coat, a Reiss herringbone and the list goes on. But for the past month I have been soldiering the British weather & riding high WITHOUT a coat.

At work my friends, Livie & La diva are constantly rabbiting on about me not wearing a coat and I have always had an excuse. 'The shoulder pads on this dress won't allow.', 'I live closer to work now so, the journey is not long enough for me to get cold.' I mean what the HELL!!! :)

Well the weekend just gone, it all went to pot when my mum asked me why I continue to travel through the cold streets of London without a coat on. She went on and on about it so much that I just couldn't take it anymore. Having carefully thought about it, I realised that my current problem was that after just getting married, paying lots of bills, and going part time at work, I just couldn't afford the kind of coat that I wanted.

I obviously won a sympathy vote because when I next went to visit mum, she offered me a golden handshake and when I opened my palm it was filled with enough money to buy the coat of my dreams. Hallelujah, Christmas had come early! The time for some long awaited retail therapy had arrived.

I hopped straight onto NET-A-PORTER.COM and drew out some contenders (that I had picked out earlier) ;-/:

1. Vanessa Bruno Wrap-over wool coat



2. Burberry Double-breasted cashmere-blend coat



3.Helmut Lang Wrap wool trench coat



After much debate (I can be so darn indecisive) and some votes from La diva, Livie & a few other trusty friends at work, I decided to go for the Vanessa Bruno number! Yay!

The life and times of a self acclaimed diva....Arghhhh..... :)
