Encore Encore!: RP/Encore

Reid Peppard is not your ordinary jewellery designer/taxidermist...She in fact is one of my most favoured designers ever...

"Anyone who actually reads about these pieces will understand that most of what I do is simply preserving (with great care) creatures that would otherwise be left to rot and ruin in the streets of London." - Peppard to "You might like this"

I love the beauty she finds in such seemingly repulsive animals, taking the avant-garde to a whole new level..You may have seen Lady Gaga sporting one of her rat hair pieces in her film clip Bad Romance...Not to mention her envy-worthy connections with Viktor Vauthier, who I might add is in my top three list of photographers...
I would LOVE to own one of her rat coin purses, I might have to look into Australian quarantine regulations for that one..
Reid Peppard you are amazing

On my mind: Kiel Mead

Kiel Mead is a wondrous designer and I have decided to share my love of his jewelry pieces with you...Living and working in New York, Kiel takes objects you would never consider beautiful let alone something you would want to wear and turns it into an artform, from drill bits to chewing gum to retainers, cast in gold and silver, these beauties are amazingggg...I wouldn't mind meeting this curious man one day
His pieces are available at online store Areaware

There's no question about how much hype Miu Miu has recieved since the launch of their S/S 2010 collection...everyone is desperate to get their hands on their nude lady printed collared shirts and swallow print platformed mary janes...as do I! These are the times I wish I were Tavi Gevinson who pretty much owns the whole collection I neeed to be wearing right now...and in my desperation, I'm contemplating DIYing my own collared shirt or if I prove clever enough, my very own Miu Miu inspired platforms...we'll just see how that goes...

Wangderful: Alexander Wang

So over the weekend I officially decided that Alexander Wang is my all round favourite designer...I discovered this when i picked up his spandex bra from the Spring 2010 collection in Cornershop in the Strand, I've been eyeing it since, well, i can't even remember, but its been a long time now..I couldn't even bring myself to touch the Mirte zip boots they were so beautiful..
He proves that neutral colour schemes paired with unusual yet structural silhouettes is the key to beautiful design..I love how he has paired black with splashes of camel and blue velour this season..
My life goal is to now save up for some darling pieces...Alexander Wang, you have my heart..
