Check out these teeth gnashingly good pieces of zipper costume jewellery made by Kate Cusack:
I do like - they remind me of corals and sea anemones! However what really stands out is the use of zips as an object of beauty in their own right, rather than for pure function.
“In art school,” Kate explained, “I [...]
There is nothing better than sitting around watching roaring flames or glowing embers… it’s an event for all seasons too! On the beach, or in a cabin or even at home. If you have a little outdoor area, it’s not too much effort to procure a little brazier for some good quality fire time. My [...]
This APC belt is perfect. Creamy pressed leather and the right sized buckle. Petite, functional buckles always win my heart. Much to my despair - I cannot find it anywhere, or even what season it is from. A serious, total fashion calamity, non?
Jo’s fresh new site Eye Heart Glasses is already locked and loaded as a favourite of mine. It’s a look at what’s cute, sexy and cool in the world of eye-wear. You should go check it out now! Jeepers, creepers, where did you get those peepers?

“French macarons are the new cupcakes.”
- The Coveted on Twitter
I definitely agree! Not to be confused with macaroons (English style cookies that the Famous 5 and their ilk liked to scoff), macarons are soft, pretty and tasty! Think of them like a delicious sandwich - 2 sides of delicious cookie, with a chewy ganache [...]

1. Nora Kogan creates her St. Kilda Jewelery line out of Brooklyn, NYC, rather than from its namesake seaside village. Her pieces are [...]
I have been dreaming recently about those tiny portable scratch pads, like the Pacemaker - which got me pondering: “Wouldn’t a turntable on a watch be great?”. Obviously a working one ain’t possible (yet) but the are some wee replicas out there. Delving into the search engines, I found a few!
Tokidoki means ’sometimes’ in Japanese… [...]
Dearest Reader,
You may call me Bowface! I don’t know when or where it started but I have become a fiend for bows of all varieties, from those adorning shoes, to natty hair bows and masculine bowties. I have determined that it started some time shortly before before the recent post on the UK’s winsome bow [...]
Mouche is French for ‘beauty spot’. In vogue during the 17th and 18th centuries, they were worn as a contrast to the popularly desired pale skin (which is still in vogue for moi).
