The Kool Aid Kid.... Jnr Shoe Shopping...

*blushes*

Might as well get the shoe fetish started early.

At least I'm being practical!!!

They'd be great for winter weather and could take on snow...

Not that I'd ever let her wear them in the snow....

The Kool Aid Kid's Latest Purchase

I'm a huge fan of Tom Binns, a jewellery designer whose designs are favoured by people like Michelle Obama and SJP in 'Sex and the City'.

And as a jewellery collector, only one thing stands in the way of me buying it all... and that's the price.

as seen on Eva Longoria

But thank the powers that be for 'Disney' (who'd ever think they'd hear me say that?!)

Disney Couture have comissioned Tom Binns to create a range of jewellery for Alice In Wonderland- my favourite childhood Disney film and book.

It's a win/ win situation!

They're bang on trend with the current British obssession with Keys, Vintage, Alice In Wonderland, Kooky feel that we have going on.

They'll go great with either the floral/ hippy/ festival or rock chick look.

http://www.asos.com/ have an excellent range of Disney Couture Jewellery that's a really good price.

I have just bought myself the following two pieces from http://www.zentosa.com/

Disney Couture Alice in Wonderland Silver ID Key Bracelet

£25.00

How excited am I!?!?!?!?!

Not only were  they reasonably priced, UK delivery is free!!!!

Disney Couture Alice In Wonderland Multi Keys Charm Bracelet

£45.00

Disney and jewellery fans check it out!

Happy days

I love me some boots.

At last count... I had 10 new (as in, this year alone) pairs in my wardrobe.

I thought I would share my latest crush with y'all.



Dr Martens.

We all remember them.

I had a purple pair when I was a kid.

I'm currently craving the Triumph 1914 Boot

They're soooooo pretty.

I would wear this pair with skinny jeans or jeggings and an ultra feminine top (I dont do floral) just for a bit of contrast.

Jewellery is key to keeping this look urban/rockabilly.

I would have my trusted charm bracelets on anyway, then on the same arm I'd pull the 'Kool Aid Kid' signature bracelet look: layer lots - and I mean LOTS- of bracelets on one arm and stop them from flying off my arm by putting my BAPE G-Shock toy watch on.

A long multipul rope chain and a HUGE pair of hoops and I'm good to go.

Onto my second crush of the moment....

The classic 1B60 Knee High Black Dr Martens

I think I'm loving the patents... I just worry these'll be a bit much for a day to day thing.

Not that I care.

But I have 3 pairs of patent shoes and really only wear my chunky heel brogues.

Shame that.

http://www.store.drmartens.co.uk/

They really are pretty....

Anyways, before I get distracted.

http://www.mytights.com/

http://www.sockshop.co.uk/

I would wear these slightly open with fishnets, over the knee socks (most likely rouched down to the top of the boot) and one of my ever present , growing in numbers and sleeve length American Apparel t-shirt dresses.

Throw one of my mum's retro blazer's on top, then stick a fork in me.

I'm done.

Shera the Great talks: Americana

Americana-It sounds like a coffee, (from starbucks), but its actually a fashion MOVEMENT. Yes. stateside goes global with triple denim layering, varsity jackets, wonderwoman hightops and old school slouchy t-shirts.

It may sound gruesome initially, (i got flashbacks of new kids on the block and clarissa explains it all), but the key is to avoid overdoing it. No-one's saying you have to look like a douche to pull off this trend (it was hard enough adjusting to harem pants). The trick is to either do it in parts, rather than a top-to-toe denim extravaganza.

Think red, white and blue...its pretty simple. red lipstick (she-ra loves MAC lip-satin in rebel), blue jeans (7 for mankind, true religion, or Levis), white wedges and a simple white T. No need to unleash the dungarees, the cowboy boots, or anything that could potentially turn into a disaster.

Think: stripes (we've been doing stripes for years...why stop now), stars (dust off your 2008 star prints), and polka-dots. clean cut, simple, ambercrombie/hollister, Gap Ad circa 1995.

Do NOT think: sailor, cowgirl, 'topgun' or cabin crew.

The Kool Aid Kid's Ode to Rockabilly Kitsch - Part 2 -

Following on from my previous post, I thought I should let rockabilly jewellery fans in on my latest find.

For my birthday this year my sister bought me some pieces http://www.meandzena.com/

Their tag line reads 'Jewellery for the unruly'

How fitting.

And as per usual I had to google it, just to see what the designer 'was saying'.

It was a lot. The bracelets are beautiful and the sayings tongue in cheek.

I suggest fans of the nautical trend, take a peek.


Over and out

...And as per usual...

It's jewellery! Surprise, surprise!

If you read fashion magazines like Vogue you may have seen these adverts before.

These beautiful pieces are by Stephen Webster. His website is just beautiful- and really speaks to my inner (if not overtly glamourous) rock chick self.

I love Xtina, she has become an 1940's and 50's style icon and these photo's show her in a beautiful light.

Take a closer look at his amazing designs and collections at http://www.stephenwebster.com/

...And try not to have palpitations at the prices! ;)

Serious Eye Candy

I have a serious problem...

I'm addicted to jewellery.

"We've heard that before" I hear you chorus...

But no. You haven't quite seen it like this before.

I spend my money on three things for myself; Food, Books and Jewellery.

I developed an interest in charm bracelets when I was 14- and begged till I was I bought a pre 1900's bracelet from the vintage market in Greenwich.

I now seem to have a charm bracelet (or charm) from every country I have visited, every birthday, Christmas and anniversary- from several boyfriend's, my Mama, family and friends.

So with my very first pay check ever, I bought myself a Thomas Sabo charm bracelet and butterfly charm.

Their latest collection though, has me drooling. It combines some of my greatest loves...

Motorbikes, men that are rebels... and silver jewellery *sigh*




Anyone want to buy me one?!?!

The Kool Aid Kid LOVES studded Louboutin shoes!

Hey all...

Just so you can shoegasm with me!

These uber feminine heels with a touch of rough really works for me...

Honestly? Who doesn't love a Louboutin heel?!?!

I'm really appreciating how these are being worn with extremely feminine, girly dresses

Or being rocked with seriously edgy leather skinnies and wet look leggings.

Loving Christina's ( a favourite style icon of mine- after the dirrty album) and Keri Hilson's look right now!

Enjoy beautiful people!!!

All Thing's Tatty Are Devine

http://www.tattydevine.com/ is a treasure trove of acrylic statement jewellery pieces that I have been craving for at least 2 or 3 years.

I'm actually surprised I don't own any of their pieces...

I think I should do something about that  real soon...

Do as I say, not as I do.

Buy something. It'll make you feel better.

XOXO
