Happy early birthday to me. Finally, the Alexander Wang Rocco Baby Duffle bag has made it into my closet.
Long sold out in black on black, I chanced on at Di Nuova, a designer consignment store in Paddington. I don’t think it’s even been used.
Tagged: what I bought
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.
I’ve been mooning over Talon for some time now. Thanks to a competition run by the label on Twitter, I’m now the proud owner of a glass amulette.
The necklace is delicate and beautiful – perfect to be layered with other pieces of varying lengths – and the presentation is stunning. I’m especially fond of the piece of bark nestled in the gift-box – the juxtaposition of the smooth, clear glass with the natural textures of wood, muslin and dried grass.
I would like to take a moment to thank the designers at Billy Bride for making rings for people with ridiculously small fingers – this is the first time I’ve found a statement ring that I haven’t had to get resized.
For a long time, I’ve been trying to build up a collection of rings, at least enough to wear one on each finger and preferably enough to stack multiple rings together. I’m not there yet – but I’m edging closer.
Left to right: smoky quartz ring by Billy Bride, plain silver ring from Toxic, clear quartz ring from a shop on King Street in Newtown, pointed silver ring from Chinatown Night Markets, the Villain ring by sass & bide, studded silver ring by Wendy Nichol.
