1 x super duper tight, girdle effect leggings... Zara, this time- you did good! Resulting in some major freedom from fashion stagnation = Highly good investment if you ask me!

A Thrifty Threesome...

2012-02-11T05:04:00.000-08:00

Photo Credits: 1. Dries Van Noten, 2. TMR, 3.er Je!

Iv'e had this eye-poppingly bright fuchsia pink skirt *WITH some frikin' brilliant POCKETS* rotting silently in my wardrobe since a big summer thrift back in August (for a minute there it thought it had been lovingly rescued from the musky depths of a Mong Kok thirft store, err WRONG- Sorry, pardon!!!)... I've been meaning to whip it out for some time... show it the light of the Hong Kong day n' all... and I too have had this "Who Wore It Best" photo on my laptop since ermmm Octoberish... Now, TMR = the most essential read, a must for all who like to stir up the repell on a daily...of course... However, a bit of a scary prospect when you decide you definitely need that thing she is wearing in order to breathe... yet, rather shockingly when you check where it came from, breathing is not something that happens for a few minutes- at least!
I thought I'd do a cheap-ass thrifty version... consisting of a 10 dollar (1 Euro) skirt, Zara tee, Berskha leather jacket (sale!) and a bit more Zara (zapatos!) aaaaand a vintage temple to topper it off!
Whatduthink?! Close?! More leg perhaps?!

A Week In High Tops! Friday: Disco Pony The New Sequin

2012-02-09T19:03:00.000-08:00

Sequin Jumper in The New Sequin: Disco Pony, High waisted leggings: Zara, Temple Topper: Vintage

Look at that face! (Scoobs'... mine= not there!)

I possibly need to re-shoot some more angles for the new sequin jumper... I ran a little short on time with this one, so be prepared to see this again!!!!
A particularly creepy looking second shot I feel- but limited I was on snaps to chose from!!!
I think I've finally found the perfect match for the sequin jumper in slightly below summer temperatures... the gold buttons of these leggings look freakin cool against all the sequin delishusness! POP POP!
Right... my story is short today... let us let the sequins do all the talking for this one! XX

Mid Week Bear Date Hula Hooping Interlude!

2012-02-07T22:36:00.000-08:00

Just like a Möbius strip... endless fun (literally!)

Tee: Club Monaco, Cap: Puma, Leggings: Bear Date by Daddyz, shoes: Topshop, Hula-hoop: Harrods (Sai Kung, which is not Harrods at all- we just like to call it that!)

I hear what your saying right now... IS SHE.. WEARING...A BASEBALL CAP?!!!

Why yes! Yes I am! I am also hula-da-hooping myself into a blissful state of childlike wonder too! Problem? I think not! You gotta try this thing- both actually... we don't wear baseball caps enough these days... Thoughts? Serious objections?!!
I like to get up to the roof in the mornings and spin this crazy disco hoop around my belly for as long as my unfitness permits! It's pretty hypnotic... staring out over the ocean, syncing yourself up to the universe with some totally rad harmonious circular movements! I highly recommend it. My Chinese neighbors are utterly entertained on a daily... Weird foreign girl in pj's and oversized puppy dog shape slippers thrusting her hips about about trying not to smack real puppy dog in the eye as he comes to smell 100mph spinning hula hoop!

Hula-hooping your way into happiness... It's a thing... I'm sure of it... If not, well Umgunna make it one! Copywrite (Don't even try it!)

Lets get onto these ridiculously cute-as-erm bears on a date leggings! (Hoping this legging post shall not appear on a thread of enraged legging haters... true story- that may have happened last time! It's fascinating how many people are offended by leggings!!!) To this I say... try them on! Baby, your jeans will be lonely for weeks- and your butt exposed in ways you never thought possible!!!

Sourced directly from the up and coming site Daddy Long Legz, a fellow Chictopia seller and HK dweller! This site is the BOMB! and you must check it out if you are a legging lover! Let me give you a wee showdown of legging options you can find on Daddy Long Legz... I dare you not to love something!

A Week In High Tops! Wednesday: Navy Blue & Thrifted Floral

2012-02-07T00:57:00.000-08:00

Floral Shirt: Thrifted, High Tops (Navy) Zara, Shoes- basically stolen F21! Hat: H&M

Inspecting for "glue line" evidence after I told him how much I got them for! CUTE!

There is a story behind these shoes! Oh yes! Excited?! You should be!
Clearing throat... ahemmm. Well, Forever 21 opened here in HK a couple of weeks ago... I avoided it for the first few days... but by the third time I strolled casually past (on purpose!) I decided to just grin and bear it (I say- when I was in fact just grinning with antici.......pation)... see if they were as cheap as in the states... as most things here are marked up a billion percent despite the fact that 99.9% of the product is made right here anyway!
... Amidst the swarms of eager Americana wannabeeeeees (I, clearly not one of them!!! haha- clearly!!!) I spotted this sole pair of mega heels... just staring at me, looking all lonely and what not! Once in hand I pretty much hot stepped it for the cashier, grabbing a t-shirt or two on the way...wondering if I had enough moola to pay... Thing was, they only had the American dollar price on them... now, there is a big difference between the American dollar and the HK dollar, let me tell you! In USD they were approx $26... this in HK dollar translates to about $3 US!
Now... fortunately for me... be it a total blonde moment (haha thats quite funny seeing as blonde's are quite few and far between over here!) of the cashiers- or a moment of omfg I cannot deal with any more today (due to heinous swarms of fashion crazed youngsters all desperate for a bargain in newly opened F21!) so I am just going to pretend I do not realise that $26 cannot possibly be the price of these shoes...EVEN THOUGH that cheap ass t-shirt you are purchasing costs about 5 times the price... no, I shall just let you buy them for less than a coffee.
AND SO I DID! I basically robbed Forever 21...and you know what... I was not sad about it... most excited in fact. That there is my tale. I hope you enjoyed it... you probably did, because it was incredibly exciting. I know! ;) xx

A Week In High Tops! Tuesday: The Perfect Tee

2012-02-06T02:03:00.000-08:00

Severe pain, or ridiculous excitement?! You decide!!! Tee: Club Monaco, High Toppie tops: Zara, Shoes: I appear to be wearing two different pairs... couldn't decide.. Zara (boots) Asos (wedges) Beagle: MINE! Hat: Market

This might sound a little mad... MADNESS I tell you... but, before last week... I had NEVER, ever witnessed a Club Monaco store! Nope, never... barely even knew what it was! I know... it's astonishing... considering they appear to have gotten hold of the perfect tee pattern, fabric, color secrets... and I do enjoy a good t-shirt! I promptly understood why my ignorance was such a good thing however when I flipped the price tag... WOAH NELLY! I have NEVER, ever in my life (note the repeat here...full circle stuff going on!) spent that much money on a tee shirt... something i could whip up in an instant too (here comes the designer on a forced break issue again)... but the problem is... I tried it on... and I was sold... hooked, gone, done, poor... anything you like! It had to be mine! Nothing beats a good staple tee shirt- maybe a hat/good pants... it's a close one!
I almost had the entire collection in my bag when I left unbeknowingly (sp?!) however- due to Hong Kong sales tactics being a little less reserved- British style, and a little more "you want them all no- even though you keep saying just the grey... I will put them all in and charge you thousands, you will thank me later..."
Sadly my bank account cant hack a collection of anything Club Monaco... but hey... YOU grey Tee are MINE! And I love you!
Here are the pants again!!! xx

A Week In High Tops! Monday: Disco Pony

2012-02-05T04:00:00.000-08:00

High Waisted Leggings: Zara, T-Shirt: Zara, Jacket: Disco Pony New Season, Wedges: Asos, Panama: HK Market

Well, my dedication to the art of hideously depressing pijama-style dressing has finally come to an end!!! HURAAH! (for now any way!) During this MAJOR lul in Disco Pony activity where all collection sampling has been halted, all orders put on hold, everything but paper work locked up in a dark prison awaiting the key that only the Chinese new year end dates hold- so it seems has been my ability to get dressed... until the fated day came that I wore an outfit so hideous to work, that even my beloved fiance, who lets pretty much any tragic hair/face/bum/outfit day pass without so much as an awkward side glance- said something... along the lines of "I don't really notice how badly you dress these days... I guess I've gotten used to it!!!!" Granted, I had just caught sight of myself in a shop window reflection and asked how the hell he thinks it's okay for me to leave the house like this!... I asked for that one!

I decided something, anything had to be done about my M.C Hammer pijama resembling outfit habits of late- so I did the unspeakable... I basically ran like a squatter (for I did resemble one- hmmm, how un pc am i being in saying this?!-quite... not enough to remove it however!) from a police raid to the nearest Zara!!! (If you follow the Disco Pony journey... you will know why that is an act deemed "unspeakable"!) However... I must say, when a girl stops designing for a few weeks, and in turn is no longer surrounded by an array of fabrics and potential wonder makers- Zara becomes quite enticing... I mean, everything is already MADE! It's done! No tailor dramas, no trailing back and forth trying desperately to find that piece of fabric you took a swatch of that no longer exists even though it was the worlds most perfect shirt fabric, no long journeys over boarders, or squatting to pee in holes in the floor mid signing to the tailor that you will be right back... just an easy, peasy, nice clean(ish) shop full of clothes you didn't design (or probably did- but that's a whooole other story right!!!)
ANYWAY! Whilst I frantically searched to find something that would no longer make me feel like i'd been getting dressed out of an old dirty hippy cave in the mornings... I stumbled upon the perfect pair of trouser/legging/super tight high waisted beauties, equipped with buttons! YES!
So, naturally... I have worn nothing but aforementioned trouser things since that fated day- and so shall take you through my week of (said pants) whilst I pretend that I am not wearing them this week too... which I am... They have them in blue too... so next week can be round two- Sailor style... They come with zips also, if your more into the zipped up thigh thing... I am, but sadly don't occupy the (skinny) hips one needs for zippy semi horizontal thighs... you're not bored at all, are you!!?!! xx

Hollywood's Golden (Disco) Couple

2012-01-28T07:55:00.000-08:00

The ever goooorgeous Danielle McPartlin with hubby Ryan in her Gold Natalie Disco Pony Dress

I've undoubtedly had some completely incredible beauties rocking the Natalie out... but when Danielle sent me over this photo, I went all light headed wowowow style, because BOY O' BOY does THIS girl know how to make THAT dress look all kinds of WOAH NELLY! What an outrageously stunning couple! Totally honored to see her rocking it so well- Being so delicately snuggled up by Ryan doesn't hurt the overall beauty of this shot either- any Chuck fans out there will agree I'm suuuure!!! Thanks guys! You rock my world! ;) xx

Disco DownUnder!

2012-01-24T07:14:00.000-08:00

The B.E.Ayoutiful Jasmin Struttin her stuff in her White Crepe Silk Disco Pony Textured Collar "Big Dipper" (GHASP... and breathe!!!)

There is a story behind this particular piece of silk crepe glory... a story too long and pain staking (I just spellethed that "steaking" and am now hungry) to tell... alas, I made a vow to tell you most truths that go on in this mad old world of fashion and design- my up's and down's, in's and out's, round's n' rounds n' what have you... so I guess I will attempt to tell you the tale of said silk shirt... IF, you would like to hear it!
. . .
There once was a beautiful girl named Jasmin who hailed from the divine lands of Australia, Oz, Downunder (ya catch ma drift!)... with skin like milky moca frappa cappa, lips like those you might spy in a "special doctors" office catalogue whilst browsing casually at your next erm... facial re-think... and many other fine ass things a girl might dream of having.
One morning, a letter came through my post box (pftt... ha...) not really... my inbox... how novel would that of been?! RIGHT! Jasmin... take note! ;)
Anyway... the girl needed some Disco in her life... (who doesn't?!) I of course was almost as into that idea as getting mail through the post box! - no, no, I kid, I kid... more even, muchoo more! So I got ON IT, quickady quick, micro chips style! Picking out the softest crepe silks EVER in the world... teaming them with some wicked funky texture silks for the piping and collars... and the dream was born.
Minor little problem... dreams sometimes go AWOL in a big way. Especially mine, most commonly when it comes to my tailor (now ex- how many break ups does a girl have to go through in this industry?!)
I don't think my eyes have been in that really wide, are you effing kidding me state quite so many times in my life than they have been in my Disco venture! (actually that's not that true- but for the sake of this story it totally is!)

My little crepe silk beauties came back but oh-so-delicious for their one on one checking session ... minus correct anatomy... THREE TIMES! Now I'm a pretty patient person (I like to think anyway)- I usually expect new designs to come out slightly wrong... that's normal... but when a girl painst(ooh theres that steak again mmm)akingly draws out the designs, along with fabric swatches and measurements etc... it's just silly...vexatious if you will when things are done backwards, inside out, upside down.... you know the score! WRONG basically.

But enough already... lets get back to the delightful Jasmin. Now, as you know (probably) all Disco Pony pieces are hand made individually to order, and take approx one week to create... so multiply that by three and add a poor patient princess to the equation. Long time right. Yup! After the third go I just kind of died a little inside and sent the girl her pieces! Her special, one of a kind- ever so slightly disfigured pieces! Rest assured people (I can hear you go errr, that's wuuurd) She will get them again, in all their real glory- I just couldn't make her wait any more! It's just mean! Plus, they really are so soft and flowy- I can forgive them their specialness, and so could she. So I love her. And that dear Ponies is the tale (or at least about 20% of it- any more would be telling you too much- and then I'd have to "erase" you! ha!

But folks, doesn't she look so stunning! I want to see more MORE, always MORE!!! :) xx

Missing: McQ's! Practically perfect in every way- If found, please call... 555-DISCO

2012-01-23T10:25:00.000-08:00

Found Here...

I say, it's not everyday a girl comes across a pair of leather so utterly butterly soft, n' studs so smooth n' skulls so er skully n' heels so perfectly not high not low n' price the same considering all things above/ aforementioned! SO WHY DO I NOT HAVE THESE LINED UP WITH ALL MY OTHER BATH TUB BEAUTIES I ASK?! That's a good question... one I can only answer with oh, moving countries but a mere 3 times in the past, what now? Who knows...not long... lots of boxes...anyway- what I'm trying to say is... I am finding getting "dressed" but a fleeting nostalgic memory these days... wondering how to walk in anything but my trusted hot pink Nike's. I've made it my new years (Chinese New Years- which started today actually, so I'm right on target here!) resoluuushe to actually start dressing again... the kind where you layer on something that ordinarily might be saved exclusively for curry and Californication night in attire, but which happens to look so cool you feel pretty pleased with your ability to be that warm and THAT FREEKIN VOGUE BABY. That's what I'm talking about! So I've spent a good few days wading through my wardrobe (my floor) and hanging my shit up and re-learning the art of dressing. Then I came across this particular photo and thought... those are the shoes that could get me out of this funk.. back into my old semi strutting ways, waltzing along the pavement (jungle- ( yet another reason for the recent procrasti-fashion slobbery- for snakes care not for fancy footwares and temple topper hats, but more for unsuspecting dogs and bare ankles)) head held high, not shamefully slumped toward the ground.

So, WHY you ask did this particular photo come up? Well... I'm in the middle of planning my wedding (ooooooooo I hear...I hear it!!!) and I suddenly realised mid omgwtf why does anyone do this to themselves- exactly where it might just HAVE to take place... and then... remembering I had actually done a photo shoot there way back when, in the old Barcelonian days (sigh) I quickly waded through my mental blog archive ("shouldn't have taken you long" I hear you say- seeing as I'm the worlds most absent blogger, and (dramatic pause) my weekly post count is actually in the minus right now!) only to find the post this photo belongs too. Then, as you may have guessed came the puzzled look and out loud "What the hell happened to my McQueens?!!! WThaaa?!) Do you know?!
Moral:
I hope this has been a thoroughly useful stream of random consciousness for you! May it enrich your evening and fulfill your wildest dreams! or not...whatever!
Night night! Happy New Year! Kung Hei Fat Choi! xx

By the way... if you hold your hand up to that photo... just below the shoulders... that's how long my hair is now! Yup! I tell you... it was a nifty move! A-BUBYE rats nest! Hello shiny quill!

Spotted! Disco Pony in Trop Rouge's Closet!!!

2012-01-03T01:44:00.000-08:00

I know, I know, I'm a total dork! But there is nothing more exciting than seeing inside the closet of a rock star like Christina of Trop Rogue and seeing DISCO PONY- I know Disco when I see it!!! Yeah baby!!! I'm dying to see her in this jumper! It's the new sequin taking over the Bronze spotlight that Natalie sported- that has so sadly gone gone gone now... "Thank you Zara"! (note the insane amount of sarcasm here please!)
Thanks for the closet tour hotty! Much enjoyed! :) xx

Last month I was contacted by Foam magazine after they had spotted Natalie, also one of their cover girls in her Disco Pony Natalie dress.
I'm such an addict of FOAM magazine, so it was a total honor to be interviewed by the lovely Angelica Bonomo...
I'm getting all ancy pants wanting to get on with all of the collections, but Chinese New Year is now rapidly approaching, meaning everything shuts! Note to self... make sure to ignore your own holidays entirely when doing business on the other side of the world- not everything runs according to the Western calendar!!! Learning, learninnnngggg!!!! ;)

Banana Pants...

2012-01-02T03:31:00.000-08:00

Black Fedora: Vintage, Silver Jumper: Disco Pony (New Season), Necklace: Antique Vintage, Black and Yellow Leggings: RI by CARRIE designer legwear

Pap shot!!! Quick tuck job!

RI by Carrie Designer Legwear

"Diamond in Jungle" quite the apt name for these bad boys! I was hoping to shoot them in Paris last month, but it rained...and rained....and rained... not so tropical really! So, I thought I'd go ahead, don a Disco Pony silver space jumper and take a walk in my own jungle. I am basically ooooooing with the softness of my banana pants... seriously, I might be moving in!!! I'm going to need the entire RI range by Carrie now! Blue next please!
We took these pictures just outside of our house, in front of a big banana plant for humours sake! (god I'm funny ;) I grabbed a big leaf off the floor and now have some VERY SPECIAL photos indeed!!!! haha! I might whip them out when I'm in a more jocular mood!!!
Back to the bananas though... I'm totally impressed by the work of the gorgeous Carrie. If you are in the mood for some pin altering sexy softness, i'd highly recommend checking out her entire range of leg wear! I predict big things for these leggings! I'm proud to have a pair in my closet (ahem, on my floor along with everything I own- New Years closet rethink?!!!) They belong somewhere far chicer than my floor... actually, I'm going to put them back on now... mooch about and eat some steak, Monday night rock n' roll!
P.S I'm so totally working up the nerve to chop my locks off to this "tucked in hat" length... what do you think??? New Year, New Hair?! Happy New one lovely ponies :) xx

Happy Newest Year

2012-01-01T03:04:00.000-08:00

I saw a bright red balloon floating about, above the mountains on New Years Eve as I sat on my roof top reading... it floated towards me, being all floaty and red and balloony... Then it vanished below the trees...
On my way back from the city today, I found it. Since red is considered good luck in China... May it be a happy sign for all of our brand new hopes and dreams in this brand new year! VOM! No just kidding... it all happened! It was nice! :) xx

Disco To The Maxi

2011-12-27T02:55:00.000-08:00

Wearing: Disco Pony Maxi Sequin Dress "The Natalie Maxi" inquire here, Black Zip up Boots: Zara, Khaki Jacket: Maple HK

Ponies!!!! HELLOOO! It's been a big ol' while since I did some blog prancing! I think I've missed it!!! I've not missed wading through unsightly photos however, but I guess you gotta do the dirty work to get to the gold right!!! I think I'm somewhere between ego blogger and a business woman now! It's a process, but I'm very pleased to be heading toward the latter... Not to say I didn't just love doing a little photo shoot, I may even start doing more of them (maaaayyybeeee!!!)... The weather over here in Hong Kong is nothing less than bliss! I'm so awestruck by how beautiful this place is... woah, a very good place to be over Christmas I must say!!!
Tomorrow I am back to work in a big way... getting all the pre-orders sorted out, pulling all the new seasons fabrics. All the collections for the official launch are now ready, and I'm VERY excited to get them made up in their final fabrics!
I hope you have all had the most wonderful Christmas, and are feeling the bloat in all it's Christmas glory! As you should be!!!
Here, I am wearing the maxi version of the Disco Pony Natalie in a cool golden semi-matte sequin. I'm really liking wearing this in the day time with my trusted vintage belt and a lightweight khaki jacket to grunge it up a little more!
All it needs to transition into night is a quick shoe change and a snappy bubbye to mr belt, et voila you are good ta go! Lips stay red at ALL TIMES- Obviously!!! ;) xx

New York City Disco Stoop!

2011-12-21T14:31:00.000-08:00

I think this has to be my favorite stoop shot of all time! So bored, yet so beautiful!!! Natalie in her Silk Disco Pony Jacket

This girl... always does me and Disco P so very, very proud! Total New York City grunge perfection, non!? OUI!...
Not sure I'm going to be able to wear my jacket any other way now, now that I've seen the way it really must be done!!! I definitely designed this jacket to be worn with a simple tee... it's super light weight and silky soft, and looks undeniably chic when dressed down town style!... I so completely love these photos, I think Natalie is a bit of a frustrated rock star really- Disco Rock... This needs to be explored!!!
Agh, I'm so confused as to where, and who I am right now... after a rather hideous flight back to HK from London, nestled directly in front of a man seemingly having night terrors whereby the only remedy was of course to inflict as much pain as he could on the seat in front of him (AKA me!) whilst screaming rather loudly... I didn't get too much shnooze! It's going to be a non stop work-through-this-Christmas-thing time now... better brace myself in a big way!!! Hope you are all getting in some rest... most jealous if you are! :) Pip Pip! xx

2011-12-19T13:35:00.000-08:00

This is quite literally how I spent/survived my East London life! Singing my heart out and playing dress up- instead of being social and young and whatnot!!! I lived in the most dodgy warehouse conversion, with paper thin walls and totally darling neighbors (please detect the sarcasm there!!!)... I would more than often look out my window (that was missing) in the mornings and desperately hope to not see any murders/ anti-semitic graffiti plastered over the Mosque/Synagogue divide! I wouldn't advise this type of living, but as hideous as it was... being an art student... It was rather apt really!
My mum just made me crack this old timer out and show the fam- Proper Christmas style!!! So I thought I'd share it with you! I'm hoping to make "DISCO PONY... THE MUSICAL"!!! hahahaha!!!
*I used a macbook pro and garage band to record this. xx

If I can't Come To You Barcelona...

2011-12-17T05:05:00.000-08:00

This was my first EVER post on chictopia!!! Awwww! It was also bloody freezing when we shot these pics in our Barcelona park! However, I suffered, SUFFERED for the sake of the yellow dress!!! I remember everyone was posting Lanvin for H&M at the time, and I was going a little Lanvin loopy... So this was my anti-dote post! I appear to have removed all my fun photos from back then... time for them to come back whilst this blog is the worlds most uninhabited space! Make it colorful again!!!
Since I am not going to be in Barcelona for New Years as planned, I thought I better bring back some Barcelona charm... xx

Disco Pony @ Apartment 34

2011-12-14T01:39:00.000-08:00

Last night, the amazing Erin of Apartment 34 "Where Style Lives Happily Ever After" sent me a rather gorgeous email, delightfully swooning over the "Natalie Jumper", which she has snatched up for pre-order next year. If you haven't already spent your days indulging in all the beautiful things Erin posts... you really must!
How oblivious I was that day when me and Albert sporadically decided to shoot the Disco Pony jumpers quite how many places this jumper would be blogged and re blogged, sauntered up the "Black Carpet!" and generally enquired about! It's amazing! I'm a little sad I'm not in HK now, getting on with the Pony... However, I shall be back very soon, juggling the sparkle season with the upcoming launch preparations for mid year! Eeep! :)
I'm not sure what planet I'm on these days... I appear to be right down by Devon in the UK this minute! Christmas plans are about to change dramatically, and I think I will be back on a plane to Hong Kong within a week! Good news for DP at least!!!
I hope you're all enjoying your festive countdown to chrimbo! Love, love Disco Bunnies! (New baby line?! ;) ) xx

It's Glitz n' Glamour Day on Chictopia!

2011-12-07T03:26:00.000-08:00

Howdy Christmas Ponies! Don't forget to head on over to Chictopia for the tenth day of Chic... today is all about Glitz & Glamour day! Disco Pony day! I must say It's been a tad crazy keeping up with the chic whilst being in the air/ airport sans internet the majority of the time. I think I've been on more flights in the past year than I have in my entire life, but I'm attempting not to feel like I have- ya know, fooling my body into thinking existing in a billion different time zones in the space of a month is entirely normal kind of thing! (Think it's working...ish)!!! I'm now back from Paris, oh beautiful, rainy Paris... in the sunny but FREEZING England! Time to get on with the pre-launch negotiations- log fire VERY necessary for typing skills! I'm definitely missing the perfect November weather in Hong Kong already! Must think Christmasy thoughts! It's supposed to be cold right!!!
My apologies to those of you wanting a sparkly piece for Christmas/NY... I've done my best to work with those of you who have pleaded, it's proving quite tricky navigating orders whilst a few hundred thousand miles away... alas... All shall be back up and official in no time at all! Looking forward to moving on from the sequins... don't get me wrong, I LOVE them...always and forever... but there is so much more! SO MUCH MORE in STORE!!! :) xx
