Luna's Dream Christmas List

It's the most wonderful time of the yeeeear! Ding-dong, ding-dong...let the 3 for 2 from boots-gift-giving-commence!

However may I present you the dream list. Number one is a utterly scrumpicous Ted Baker Woodland Print dress - I'd team this with some vintage chelsea boots, a huge fedora and my trusty fur jacket, but it would equally make an excellent impress-the-future-in-laws outfit a la Kate Middleton style.

Next is a classic leather skirt from Oasis, I'm in my mid 20's now and I really need to start investing in staple pieces and leather is a real good place to start.

The Black fringe bag from Primark, simply because you cannot possibly have too many Black Fringe bags from Primark

The Topshop feather capelet  because let's face it one must goth it up every now and again. Plus this item could make even the drabbest of dresses uber cool.

Once again Ted Baker  Ted Baker Full Skirt Dress   makes an appearance in my wish list who they have upped their game this season! Such a nod to the sixties (the best decade for fashion that ever was - don't argue because I'm right). So well structured, prefect for the office, and the skater style skirt is flattering on all.

Finally the Pink Boucle Dress from Primark. I know what your thinking it's dress is very very Lark, but I love it. It's so JackieO meets Jean Shrimpton. When I look at it I think beehives, winged eyeliner, and ridiculously long falsies. This dress will be mine, I repeat will be...MINE.

Larks Christmas Wish list

When I first saw the Chanel boots, I thought, 'be still my beating heart', I think you will agree they are pretty amazing, (with a price tag to match).

The ring is just divine, simplicity at its best and Monica Vinader is my favourite jewellery designer at the moment available here http://www.astleyclarke.com/uk/.

I am a real sucker for animal prints and this New Look jacket is fantabulous for the holiday season, available here http://www.newlook.com/ .

 Finally a Tom Ford Lipstick available here http://www.selfridges.com/ , need I say more, the epitome of beauty luxury. Happy Christmas Shopping guys x

When will I be Famous!...


 


Finally Lark and I agree on something! Who would have thought it would be a lipstick that would have brought us together! A lipstick with such Special powers? ..... introducing LIP ADDICT : FAMOUS by Sue Moxley in Shade 6 CATWALK.
When we first saw this lipstick on the Famousx facebook page it was lust at first sight!
 So what really sets this lipstick apart from other brands? A lot of cosmetics companies are making berry shades as it is the number one makeup trend of the moment, but I doubt you'll find one this luxurious at this price point!
 The lid has it's own mini flip up mirror (perfect for applying on the go), and matching lip balm to add that wow gloss finish - something I took full advantage of (see below, for Thats why the Lady is a Vamp shoot!) Please excuse our lipbrush marks ! For a more subtle daywear look you can opt to just wear the lipstick on it's own, for a more matte look (see below, for Berry lips and Autumn Glitz shoot!)
After being blown away by the overall polished aesthetics. We snapped open the lid and we were immediately hit by the gorgeous aroma of Shea butter.This lipstick just glides on the lips like...well butter.
And it's .....£4.99. No it's not a typo, it's £4.99. And available in a rainbow spectrum of colours. Get one while stocks last!!!!  Lipstick c/o  http://famousmakeup.co.uk/index.php/lips/lip-addict.html

Berry Lips and Autumn Glitz

                                                                            Earrings - H+M, Top - Primark
                   Eyeshadow- Urban Decay Naked Palette, Lips -Famous Lip Addict : Catwalk, Cream Blush Illamasqua: Dixie


A more subtle take on this amazing lip colour. Lark went for a mere stain of colour, with gold eyes and flushed pink cheeks. This is a great festive look, and suits most occasions.

That's Why The Lady is a Vamp

Couple Crush - Vivienne Westwood and Andreas Kronthaler

Vivienne Westwood and Andreas Kronthaler ( Warning! Picture contains Nudity )

Vivienne Westwood is married to her assistant, Andreas Kronthaler, who in our humble opinion, is absolutely divine. Kronthaler is her former student, and now her design partner.The couple live in South London. I think this picture pretty much speaks for itself !


We love them !!!. Here they are pictured with Pamela Anderson in an 'Anglomania' campaign.We love that they are immensely talented.We love that they look so in love, We love that they work together and make it work. We love that Vivienne has chosen someone that sticks two fingers up to the 'status Quo, but most of all we love that they are 'batshit crazy', you just cant buy brilliance can you ! Couple crush, we salute you x  Love and Light the Luna-Lark Girls x

From Catwalk to Sidewalk

Homage to Ashish AW12
 
 If you have never heard of  the designer Ashish, I feel sorry for you! Seriously he is a genius, and I mean that in a non 'sweety darling fashion pack way'. The eccentric mix of denim, sequins, eastern, bollywood or as Ashish called his last collection 'Bollywouldnt'. It should not work, this mish mash of cultural  influences, but it does 'work', on an epic scale.

 
Ashish Gupta debuted triumphantly at LFW  in 2004 and won the New Generation award, no less than three times. Hailing from Delhi, he studied Fine Art in India, relocating to Middlesex to do a BA in fashion design, and then to Central St Martin's to study for an MA.

 
As we know catwalk looks are not always easy to translate into real life. Luna and I have attempted to honour Ashish in our own very different ways. Luna has shown how to rock  the edgy elements of Ashish, and Lark has taken the uptown route taking only the Sequin element, for a totally different look. We adore his work. Love and light Lark
