Pink Lady x

 The eternally stylish Eleanor strikes again.
What I love about Eleanor's style is that she dresses in a 'look' day to day. Somedays it will be quirky 70's songstress in a long printed maxi with heidi braids. Other days it's sexy librarian with a demure frock and glasses, until she turns around and you see the cut out's which reveal just the right amount of flesh on her back to drive book nerds wild.

Eleanor wears: Left hand: Dinosaur Designs pink resin/veneer bangles, Vintage silver ring. Right hand: Babyanything heart ring, Karen Walker cat ring, Vintage watch.
This day was a bit of a vintage pink party, personally I like to see it as an homage to Molly Ringwald in 'Pretty in Pink'both for the colour but also the lace and waist belt. Any other girl would have looked like a musk stick with all of this pink, but Eleanor still looked like the coolest kid in town.

Gold finger x

I pulled out my 70's gold watch the other day and clashed it with some babyanything and tiffany rings

Carmel was rocking a tiny gold KW diamond ring at Bourke St.

babyanything 18ct gold heart ring with diamond. Vintage 24ct gold and sea pearl ring.

I'm having a bit of a gold moment.
I never used to wear any gold until I was given a vintage name plate necklace by my mum for my 21st. I loved that necklace, anyone who knows me will remember it, it was really delicate, not huge and kitsch like Carries. It had a really fine delicate chain that just rested on your collarbone.

I lost the fucking thing didn't I !?!

I wish I still had it as it would fit in perfectly with the jewellery I'm craving at the moment.
Fine, delicate and SUPER feminine.
I want the kind of jewellery Lux would wear to her prom in the Virgin Suicides.

I made the gold heart ring with the diamond because that's what I would want for an engagement ring. When questioned by past partners I used to say I wouldn't say yes to a proposal unless the ring was a skull head with diamonds for eyes.

A potential suitor replied that they only person he could get to make something like that was ME so therefore I would be let in on the secret and spoil the plan.

Lucky I never did get asked that big question. 

For a number of reasons, but also because in hindsight, the ring would have been all wrong x
