Something New..

Hi eveeeeryone I'm totally addressing a lone tumbleweed and some vacant cobwebs at this point right? Nearly two years after I unceremoniously abandoned ship, I'm back with some news that might excite those of you who actually read Peanut Butter Trysts. I have a new blog MakeMendWearTear.com that went live a couple of months ago and if you enjoyed the mix of outfits and crafty posts I had on here then you should definitely click, follow and share!

bal-WANG?!-ciaga

I've pretty much been in a state of denial about Nicolas Ghesquiere's departure from Balenciaga since he announced it weeks ago. I honestly don't believe any of his contemporaries can do that conceptual, demi-couture, elitist thing he's been doing so well for the past 15 years and so I refused to register it.

As you can imagine the news that Alexander Wang's taking the reigns stunned me. Although he's amazing in his own right, it's scary to imagine how much more commercially accessible-and less conceptual-Balenciaga RTW might become under him.. I guess we'll have to wait and see what he shows for AW13 in a few month's time. Until then join me in commiseration by watching my favourite collection of the Ghesquiere years, S/S 07.

Coldest Winter

I know it's been a little while since I've posted but in my defence I'm out here trying to make fetch happen so I don't have a lot of free time to take pictures and put posts together. Aside from my recent obsession with my midriff, I've been dressing really boring.. I do have a tonne of fabric, some patterns and a little bit of time coming up so I'll definitely be posting more interesting 'fits in the weeks to come!

ps. I got these velvet boots in the recent Nelly sale for peanuts and they're the best winter investment I've made thus far, perfect for when I need some height without the frostbitten toes and foot-top (you know what I mean)!

Steve Madden UK Launch

this week in bad blogger chronicles, I attended the Steve Madden UK launch party on thursday night and was so lost in the strawberry daquiri sauce, I forgot to take any good pictures.. 

I wore my second hand tartan blazer, assorted gold finery, Topshop leggings and Aldo boots. For those who asked a few posts ago the pink lipstick I'm wearing is 'Mystic' from Sleek's matte range.

hope you're all having a great weekend!

Sequins and Sweats

Trust me to try and make fetch happen in miniskirts just as winter's setting in, if it's not inappropriately tight or short, I'm not interested.. someone get my bronchitis meds on ice.
