Alt: 1. Wintour: 0.

As if I couldn't love Emmanuelle Alt any more!

Bag lust.

I have been coveting the beautiful Kennedy Bow Bridge Bag from Kate Spade New York as of late. I love the box shape, the simple, no-fuss and lady-like bow trimmings... what's not to love?

Doesn't Bryce Dallas Howard look gorgeous? I love the '60s aesthetic of the ad campaign too. Now what colour to choose...

Best of 2011.

Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream

Great for moisturising chapped lips and for glossy looking cheeks...

MAC matte lipstick in Lady Danger

Felt brave enough to wear this a few times this year. My man loves me in it!

TopShop Ambush boots in Black.

Chic and comfy... can get around in these all day.

The Fool by Warpaint.

9-track-LP has been on high rotation all year. Great live band too!

My new Ray Bans.

Had been getting around in my old glasses for 6 years - loved them but needed a change. Totally worth it.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II.

Professor McGonagall is a fucking gangster.

Jack Black Intense Therapy Lip Balm, SPF 25 in Natural Mint.

Sunburnt lips suck. Thanks to this, they are a problem of the past.

Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation.

Probably a new favourite among my friends too.

NBC's Community.

Favourite TV addiction of the year. Weirdest and most loveable characters on TV at the moment. Writers should be taking lessons from this about innovation and originality.
*Cough* Big Bang Theory *cough* Glee *cough*

Brous - Streamers.


Probably the best song I've heard all year. Shame the rest of her EP didn't live up to expectations. Still, this song is epic.


Wishing you a safe and happy New Years celebration and all the best for 2012!

Where do you like to be Naked?

HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT I ONLY JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS?!

I had always wanted the original Urban Decay Naked Palette but felt that some of the colour would go unused. The second, however, seems to have more matte textures and taupe-y shades than its predecessor that I would wear on a regular basis.

Currently sold out everywhere... but I think it would totally be worth the wait!

"Never judge things by their appearance. Even carpet bags."

I've always wanted a giant carpet bag like this one from ASOS. Probably because they remind me of one of my favourite moments from Mary Poppins.



If only unpacking and redecorating were always this easy.

Black velvet

...actually, any velvet is good velvet at the moment. I've snagged these babies from TopShop.

as well as a second-hand black velvet mini skirt. Am now thinking very seriously about this black velvet blazer from J Crew

or this Ecote velvet tee from Urban Outfitters.

Until I make a decision, I shall leave you with this... because it is BADASS.
