party gloves

the spring/summer collections are starting to roll in, but what use are they to us right now? you may ask. well whilst browsing style.com i came across a rather cute trend at the Erin Fetherston spring summer 2010 show I thought i'd share with you all. Although the clothes were amazing it was a finer detail that really caught my eye...

slightly see through lace and silk gloves adorned with string, chains, sequins and bits of broken gold and silver jewellery. such a simple yet chic look that's perfect for autumn evenings out to the theatre or glamorous winter parties. you can honour MJ's style with a sparkly white gloves or be gorgeously decadent with a black lace glove covered in gold.

this glove is my personal favourite from the collection, love how the glove is nearly entirely see through with just a thin layer of black. This trend is easy to recreate and hopefully i'll have my own pair of Erin Fetherston party gloves soon!

its easy to make your own:

all you need is 1 pair of lace/silk gloves
some black or white string
old silver and gold broken and unwanted jewellery

simply sew the jewellery onto your gloves and your good to go.

these gloves are only £4 at asos.com and would be great for customising.

sunnies & more

afternoon all.

my visit to the v+a yesterday turned about to be quite stressful as the person i was ment to go with was ill and it was pretty busy when we got there, but i had fun and the hats were beautiful. i found out though to my dismay that boaters do not suit me and in fact make me look like a private school boy, in a bad way. *sigh*.

moving on, asos has some of the best sunnies around at the moment, and even though its not half as sunny enough as it needs to be to whip out your shades i picked the best of the asos bunch for you all to muse over.

from left to right:

Retro Super Future Exclusive Hippy Tie Dye £100, Christian Dior Large Retro 70's Rimmed-£120.00, Spitfire ASOS Exclusive Candy Bar Sunglasses-£17.75 , ASOS Catseye Sunglasses £7.75, Jeepers Peepers 'Zia' Exclusive Snake Flat Top £17.75 , ASOS Apple Sunglasses £8.00, Luella New Season Retro Glitter Wayfarer £150.00, Spitfire Rainbow Flat Top Infinity Sunglasses £17.75.

the apple ones are funny, would like to see what sort of outfit someone would team them with!
my favourites have to the last pair with the rainbow top. so summery and would go with every outfit!

this is the item on the top of my wishlist at the moment, need to go shopping on monday to pick up vogue paris and see if my local topshop has this in stock.
its very bohemian and so me, i need it!!!

also on my wishlist right now, this gorgeous vanity case from etsy.
its a little pricey but you cant put a price on beauty!
enjoy the weekend
