Life is exhausting now. I have a new job – a career – but the sun rises and sets while I’m still in the office and I can feel the days trickling away from me like dust in the wind.

There is not much time for me to do anything other than work. (Even in my dreams I’m at the office, can you imagine?)

In the days or weeks (or is it months?) since I last blogged, I’ve managed to acquire two more pieces of ManiaMania – bringing the Immortals tally to a trio.

The purple stone is an amethyst; a limited edition piece co-designed by Abbey Lee Kershaw (you can order one here). If I were to design my own version, it would be a silver setting with a black stone – smoky quartz or obsidian or onyx. I couldn’t imagine anything more perfect.

(I won’t buy any more Immortals rings until a black-stoned version is released. Promise.)

My first purchase from NET-A-PORTER: an Alexander McQueen double skull ring in silver. With little gemstone eyes.

I think we’re going to be very happy together.
