From 'Lovers & Losers' to my new 'Little Black Book'...

Years ago my gorgeous bestie Siouxsie bought me a Smythson Wee 'Lovers & Losers' notebook which I used as a phone number/address book until it was literally full to bursting and there were no pages left for new acquaintances.  It is pretty love worn so on my birthday wishlist that Miss R asked me to write was a Smythson address book.  My amaze brother Mr R gifted the below 'Little Black Book' to me and wrote the most lovely message inside {he has such a way with words, his birthday cards always make me cry!} Last night I borrowed Miss R's wee 'Little Black Book' and copied all of our shared friends and famille into it's new big brother, I really enjoyed it, such a delight to write in - thank you Mr R.  You rock!

...don't they look so darling altogether?...

Dinner at Paul and James' house...

Last night Miss R and myself went to our friends Paul and James' house in Bethnal Green for dinner and some X Factor action.  Their house so should be featured in Elle Deco, they both have such a great eye for interiors.  Miss R, P and J are all massive fans of the factor of X, so I had to get acquainted pretty fast with the new judges {Miss R & Paul both majorly crushing on Mr Barlow} as being sans TV means it is a little off my radar.  James was on cooking duty and what a cook he is!  Dinner was a dream.  We started with beetroot's {golden as well as purple} with a yoghurt and parsley dressing which were delicious.  Then a Moro inspired main course of mackerel, saffron rice with pistachio, cardamom, fried onions and yoghurt and a spinach and feta salad.  I was lucky enough to enjoy a bit more of the beets being a veggie and all.  We were treated to a box of Parisian Pierre Herme macarons for dessert.  Miss R and myself had both never tried these before and oh my they give Laduree a run for their money in the taste stakes!  Some really interesting flavours including Olive Oil & Vanilla - which was sublime, Jasmine - a personal fave, so creamy, light and subtle in it's floral flavour and Liquorice & Violet which is the one in the below photo with a different color shell either side of the filling. Pierre Hermes macarons are available to buy online http://www.pierreherme.com/products/macarons.html / in their London boutique {13 Lowndes Street, London SW1X} or in the concession that James visited in Selfridges. Go try!  Thanks for a wonderful evening boys...

My name is Miss J...

...and I am an addict.  I am addicted to Miu Miu accessories.  There, I've said it.  They say the first step is admittal.  Can anyone blame me with such beautiful delights on offer every season?  Well maybe I am not a complete addict, I haven't forfeited rent/bill/grocery money to fund my addiction, yet!  As you know it was mine and Miss R's birthday last week and we were lucky enough to get some birthday dollar from le famille and guess where some of mine ended up?  Winging it's way to the exquisite Miu Miu Bond Street store, that's where.  From the hotel style revolving door, stiletto sinking deep pile carpet to the gold bullion shoe wall, everything is exquisite.  Today I managed to acquire a pair of THE hardest sunglasses to get your hands on this season. As soon as I saw these babies on the catwalk back in March it was LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT {as you may have already read in a previous post}.   After missing the first drop of these Noir beauties {thank you Miu Miu PR with incorrect delivery info} I thought my dream was over until to my surprise the helpful store assistant called me on Thursday and said we have just had a delivery of two pairs of red and two pairs of a different colour.  If you would like them you had better be quick!  So I hot-footed it first thing and was served by a gorgeous assistant who made my purchase all the more magical.  Loving the maid-like dresses that the girls were wearing, would kill to get my hands on one of those I tell you.  Maybe I should seriously consider a Saturday job?...Anyway I thought I would share them with you, from the ribboned bag to the chartreuse velvet case {lined inside and out no less}.  The red encased glitter even matches my signature shade of red lipstick {Chanel, Rouge Allure, 'Enthusiast'}, I am a happy bunny.

Brave Bailey...

Yesterday Mr R took Master B for his first ever operation at the grand old age of nearly 6 months {his half year birthday is on the 29th}.  He gained and lost something at the vets; a microchip and his manhood.  I will let you do the maths.  Miss R was beside herself with worry all day bless her.  But knowing the brave little beautifully boisterous boy Bailey is, I was sure he would be ok.  When they collected him from the vets he was rocking a rather fetching pink collar to stop himself from biting / licking his stitches {dogs love doing that don't they?} and Mr R's words to the vets were "so you cut off my puppies b*ll*cks and give him a PINK collar to wear".  Men.  Hilarious.  I have to say that Bay sure suits a bit of pink, Miss R has already been told not to get any ideas!  Get well soon Bailey and well done for being such a brave boy...

Foot Fetish Friday - Minimal Masculine Mule...

Loving the footwear at Acne's S/S 2012 show at LFW.  Really clever considered design.  A backless minimal masculine mule-esque {never thought myself and that word would grace a post} shoe propped up on a heel.  Shown in classic black leather as well as dark blue and a rust colour coated glitter - another example of the hybrid trend that started in clothing and continues into footwear.  Is it a flat? Is it a heel?  No, it's both!

William Wilde's new collection - VIXEN KILL! KILL!...

Several months ago I had the pleasure of assisting my great friend Mr Wilde shooting his new collection 'Vixen Kill Kill'.  I have been itching to post some behind the scenes footage and now the time is finally right.

Kill!'s Go-faster stripes and neon studded panels are teamed with chain drapery and biker-style latex fringing says William, in a colour palette of hot pink, bright orange, silver and black.




Adding to his signature gingham print latex, {this season arriving in alert orange, fluoro pink and black},  come colour clash candy stripes in said pink and orange, a fluoro pink chevron studded corset, an asymmetric biker jacket dress as well as lingerie sets, more dresses, skirts and tops accessorised with chain harnesses and mittens that complete the bikerette, rockstar stylings of this collection.
