I'm having a bit of a love affair with all things House of Harlow at the moment, aka Nicole Richie's jewellery label. Everything has a bohemian / hippy vibe and is just so goddamn pretty! And although it's not thee most expensive of designer ranges, it's still a bit on the pricey side for me. So, I was pretty chuffed to find these shameless rip-offs in Primark the other day, retailing for a mere two bucks! As you can see from the pictures, there is very little difference between the two - even the pattern is virtually identical. I don't think La Richie will be very impressed though! I've also recently bought an eBay version of the HoH Black Resin necklace for a tenner, which I impatiently waited for all week only to leave it at my sister's house over the weekend - what an idiot!

Black, thick rimmed glasses are one of many cliches about architects - we have the Frenchman Le Corbusier to thank for that. These days, even architect Barbie has black specs perched upon her blonde mane!  Here's my version, which are brown. I bought these on a whim a few weeks ago after I'd been for an eye test. The staff somehow managed to convice that I needed new ones - which was true - but I'm normally much more resilient to such sales patter! What can I say, I'm weak. Needless to say, once I got the idea in my head I ended up buying rather expensive ones. But I did get £80 off, so it's all good, right??

Posting pictures up of yourself really is a different kettle of fish to design blogging – I feel all exposed and vulnerable! Kudos to all you fashion and beauty bloggers out there as I really don’t think I’m cut from the same cloth. Anyway, I thought I should report on my costume, or at the very least show a picture or two or me being Lady G. I actually think it turned out fairly well. It’s not really visible as I’m wearing my beloved grey hoodie which I always wear in the house but I managed to fashion the plastic dress out of a £1.99 shower curtain (thank you Argos!) which my completely-not-into-fashion boyfriend helped me to make. And I got the lobster on my head which was a miracle in itself – who knew what could be done with an old wire coathanger and a few hair bobbles? As I mentioned before, the theme was Under the Sea so here’s a list of the best outfits that I clocked that night: A Fish Finger, the Titanic, the Iceberg that hit the Titanic, a Seahorse, a Treasure Chest and a Shark attack Victim. Roll on next year!
