New passion for...teacups?

Versace

Hermes

I don't know what's happening to me.  It may be going through some sort of mid-young-adulthood crisis, but recently I've developed a love for teacups.  I have never payed any attention to any sort of ceramics, especially crockery but here I am dedicating a whole post to it.  It all started after I saw an Hermes cup  in a magazine.  It's mosaic-like design exhales this aura of something precious, luxurious and deeply-rooted in antiquity like the Roman mosaics.  Straight after that came the thought of what I would do to someone if they ever came over for tea and broke my Hermes cup.  Crap, I don't even want to think about such a tragedy!  Same goes for the Versace teacups that I've been familiar with for years.  Anyway, I was in Portobello Market the other day, and whilst being persuaded to buy a 40's mink fur collar (complete with a head and eyes) and being given evil looks by owners of an antique furniture shop because I was interrogating them too much about a 5000 pound antique french sofa, i came across a stall with the most beautiful antique china.  Stupid me, didn't take a picture but the closest thing to those antique teacups is a make called Weloveokaoru.  The designer is a Central Saint Martin's alumni and makes china according to the traditional British methods (with a twist).  They come in white, beige and black and have amazing detailing such as 22 carat gold plated or platinum handles and rims.  Basically the ultimate couture cup!  The designer also does cups with big letters on them which is cute.

Think Pink!

 I think no one can argue that Chanel is hugely influential when it comes to our beauty choices, though most of us don't even realize it.  Chanel nail varnishes is the top choice for all fashionistas around the world, because what else can give you a designer update at the cost of about 16 pounds?  Each season, the nail colours that the brand launches are then imitated by the less top-notch beauty brands.  Just think of the midnight blue colour from a few seasons ago that invaded the hands of any groomed girl, or the green minty colour, as spotted on Alexa Chung and company?  Then came the grey-ish mink colour and now it's time to introduce the sweet candy floss shades from the Les Pop-Ups collection.  There's also the cutest shade of lipstick that I'm in love with.

If you wanna ride, you ride a....EA bike!

I love West London, the best area in the whole wide world! Look what I  found on my way home last night.  Who said that riding bikes is geeky? I can think of a few guys who would probably trade in their cars for this beauty.

If you are below the age of 10, look away NOW

Thank God I am not eight anymore. Otherwise I would have had a nervous breakdown after visiting the Wonder Room in Selfridges in London. Since the 16th of March until the 28th, there was an exhibition of different Barbies open to the public but you couldn't actually buy them (muahahah in your face lil brats!). The images above are the collaboration of Chrome Hearts and Barbie. The dolls are 39 inches and are wearing identical to the real-life original pieces by Chrome Hearts. The amount of detailing on the clothes is craaaazy! The hairstyles were designed by Oribe, the celebrity hair stylist. The exhibition will visit Tokyo, Las Vegas, Miami, Los Angeles and New York. The Barbies below are also a sample collection of black dolls wearing Rocawear clothes. The Ken is hot. There was also the Diana Ross Barbie, Ghana Barbie and the very inappropriate (I think), independent businesswoman Barbie.
