Acquisitions

I LOVE jewellery! Love it! When I was little I used to dress myself up in my mothers necklaces, bracelets and rings and run around the living room singing to Whitney Huston and Madonna (i was pretty cool) then when i got older I took it upon myself to rifle through those treasures again and claim my favourite pieces. In hindsight, not completely ethical but hey, I like shiny things!

Over the years I have built up quite the collection including cheapies from Sportsgirl, things found at op shops, more from my family (ahem) and lots of gifts. The image below is of my latest acquisitions. One is a necklace by Polly Van Der Glas given to me by my lovely boy who just so happens to have the best taste in jewellery, lucky me!

Polly's work is exquisite, this ring on a necklace is a silver cast of a plaited lock of hair, just beautiful! Her work is on display at QV in Melbourne, 25 Jane Bell Lane and runs till April 2nd, get there quick!

The other 'knock someone out' ring was Finders Keepers Market purchase. Now, embarrassingly, I have to admit to not remembering the stall I bought it from so I can't tell you the designers name. I think I had tunnel vision or something, I bought the ring, ripped it out of the bag (throwing it carelessly in the bin) and shoved it on my finger where it has stayed every since. I ADORE it but don't know who made it and have trawled through the market website to try and find them, alas no luck. Any help would be much appreciated but this ring is too cool not to tell everyone about.

Hope you like my shiny things!!

The other Moss

So word on the street/email newsletter is that The Kills are coming to Australia for Splendour in the Grass. I REALLY want to go, it's around the time of my birthday, it's technically a holiday and if the rumours are true, the line up is going to be amazing!

I love The Kills for both their music and front woman. Alison Mosshart is freaking amazing! Her style is outstanding and i'm in love with her bravado! She's like Mick Jagger in a beautiful, cool woman's body!

Here is my ode to her in pictures;

** I have wanted these gold Marc Jacobs boots for an eternity. Are they not just amazing?!

** Mosshart in her side project The Dead Weather

** Ok, looking at this pictures makes me wish I never gave up smoking!

** As does this!

** In all her glory and those MJ boots!

Testing!

Ok so my blog layout is definitely a work in progress right now. I do however adore this background image but Anatoly Zenkov an amazing Russian Interactive designer. He's seriously brilliant.

Anyway, i'll leave it up for a bit and see how it goes!
