That Veuxdoo That You Do So Well

Hello again!

It's been a while.

And that's entirely my fault.

I've been super busy with university and all that jazz and life just has a habit of creeping up and kicking you square in the arse. But, my impromptu hiatus has given me ample opportunity to find new, drool worthy pieces to pine after.

So, it was on one of my little "I'm bored and should really be doing uni work but actually can't deal with the thought of Nietzsche or Durkheim at the moment" days that I came across Veuxdoo.

Veuxdoo is an online fashion boutique that takes vintage clothes and turns them into something edgier and with a hell of a lot more street cred than they previously had. Anyone who's read any of my previous post will have worked out that I have a wee bit of a fetish for all things vintage, studded or grunge- call it a throwback to my younger years as a wannabe Goth or whatever! So, really it shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone that I developed a slight obsession with the studded denim shirts and spiked  jewellery they sell.

It really is just as well that grunge is such a huge trend this season or else my mum might think I'm regressing back to to my days of mostly black clothes with studded belts!

Anyway, back on track! The idea of doing a wishlist post has been knocking about my wee head for a while now (really, it's been locked away in there for about a month!) and when Veuxdoo put the call out for bloggers to do one for them I decided to just get it done! So, without further preamble, here's my run-down of my favourite pieces from their website...

I've only really just picked a few of my favourite pieces from the website but there are a few more wee bits and bobs that I've had to leave out- like the purple galaxy T-shirt and the bright, striped sleeveless jacket .

Oh, and the wee pug faced necklace.... and the lilac knit jumper......

So, go have a gander at the website! Go on, have fun!! I've posted the link at the bottom of the page so you don't actually have an excuse!





So go check them out!
Seriously!

Love,

If You Go Down To The Woods Today.....

You know what happens...

You have a gap between classes or a tiny wee bit of extra time on your lunch break and you decide to peruse the amazing world of online shopping. We all have our go to sites- ASOS, Pret-a-Portobello, H&M online ect.- and you know you'll always see something that you like. And you do. But sometimes you find something that you just need to have.  Not only do you like it, suddenly you find yourself daydreaming about what your life will be like when you own it.

Well, that happened to me today. I donated blood this afternoon (my good deed for the week!) and as a wee treat I decided to let myself explore the wonder that is Etsy. Not something I usually do as I always see so much more than I could ever afford to buy. But then I saw this!

3D Bronze Rattlesnake Head Pendant from Moon Raven Designs on Etsy

I know animal and wildlife inspired jewellery has been around for a long, long while now but these pieces are fundamentally unique compared to what you usually find in your average Highstreet store.  Moon Raven Design makes actual casts of real-life creepy-crawlies and turns them into pieces like this beauty here. And the attention to detail is exquisite- each little scale is polished to perfection and as a result all of this jewellery is absolutely worth paying that bit extra for.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm away to spend a stupid amount of money because they do rings and other pretty tidbits too!

Bye again for now,
Love
V <3
