I love Wang but Wang doesn't love me



Alexander Wang Mini Rocco in Oasis
Each and every season, I find myself lusting after the newest hue to join the Rocco and Diego clans.  This season, I'm in love with the Rocco in Oasis. When you're in love with Wang, you can't expect it to wait around forever. You don't have the time to consider whether you can actually afford it or think of when you can buy it as a reward to yourself.  If you wait too long, someone else is going to snatch up right before your very eyes.  I'm speaking from experience because it has happened to me. Twice.  Once again, that dreaded message popped up on my screen.

Hey Heids & Sezza, have I seen this sass & bide collection before?

sass & bide Perpetual Truth Dress
Don't get me wrong. I love sass & bide.  I've been dressing in it since I was fourteen. My wardrobe is full of sass & bide and S&B VIE, in fact sometimes I embarassing find myself dressed head to toe in the labels.  But there's something not quite right about their papa sucre A/W 11 collection. I feel like I might have seen some of the designs before? Especially the above one.  All that heavy pleating on a itsy bitsy dress? It all seems strangely familiar and kind of reminds me of another Australian designer's collection.

Can you guess which designer I'm thinking of?

If my ladies were nail polish...

I'm obsessed with nail polish.  There, I said it.  Happy now?  I, apparently, am renown at work and within my circle of friends for my colourful nail polish collection.  A colleague once said to me, 
"I can just picture you every weekend, just sitting in front of the TV painting your nails.  Is that all you do?" 
FYI, it's not all I do.  But I do to spend some of my Sunday nights doing exactly that. 

Topshop has the most amazing make up collections out at the moment.  It's a pity I'm rubbish at applying it because I love the range of spring brights and shimmery metallics. But it's always the nail polishes that catch my eye. I saw the below silver and blue combo and immediately though of Shan. And as I scrolled further and further down the page, the eye popping shades continued to remind me some other friends. 

So here you have it, just a few of my favourite ladies if they were nail polish.
Meet Shan


Kim Kardashian talents just keep expanding


Much like her rear.  Too harsh?  Her new single, Jam (Turn It Up), is exactly that.  Harsh on the ears.  But since all sales are being donated to charity, I'm hoping that Kim does what Kim does best - sell.  (I'm obviously not counting the kanned Kardashian Kard here.)

T.L ♥s Lego



I'm not sure if it is physically possible to actually grow out of Lego.  For me, it's definitely not.  I'll ♥ Lego for the rest of my life.  Might even get this post's title tattooed on my back.  Tramp stamp style but I'll probably get a Lego piece done rather than the word itself.

Holy Mulberry! Look what I discovered on the train today


It was yesterday morning when I discovered the Mulberry iPhone/ iPad app. And it was this morning when I was sitting on the train that I decided what's the harm in filling my shopping bag with my heart's desires? Now really, what is the harm? Nada, there's isn't any. But still I'd better put my iPhone back into my Alexa before I "accidently" click the 'checkout' option.
