MISH MASH.

Hi there, 

I'm sorry for my lack of outfit posts lately... I dropped my camera & as a result have smashed the living bejesus out of it. It was pretty crap anyway, but now I am left cameraless. My boyfriend has said he will get me one for Christmas, so until then im afraid my blog might run a bit thin on the old ground. Please bare with me. Hopefully it will give me a chance to stash up on goodies to show you!

In the absence of said camera I thought i'd take a moment to explain my blog name. 

The Raggy Dolls was a childhood favourite cartoon of mine. The characters were 7 toys who weren't quite as perfect at they were designed to be but they still had a jolly old time. Silly it may sound, but I have always felt like a bit of a Raggy Doll... Im clumsy (as evident from my camera incident), a bit scruffy and just a bit odd to be honest. I was also born with a condition called Situs Inversus, which means all my organs are they wrong way round. So im a real life Raggy Doll! I would have deffinately been put in the reject bin! So I do take comfort in those little toys that are a bit different to all the others, & sad as this is, I do have a cheeky listen to the theme tune when im feeling a bit down. There are some wise words in that intro.

 

Amen to that.

CHECK.

1. River Island check blazer.

2. All Saints check Gaboury parka. 

3. Topshop premium check boyfriend coat. 

4. Topshop check joggers. 

5. ASOS check print backpack.  

6. Topshop velvet check treggings. 

Sorry for the distinct lack of posts lately! I have been a bit busy, i've been writing a few fashion articles for a new online magazine as well...which is here if you'd like to have a sneaky peak.

 I am aware this post is a little boring but i am really really loving checks at the moment, so i popped a few of my faves up for you. I brought the Topshop velvet treggings the other day online so i shall probably be recieving a little package in the post bright and early tomorrow. I LOVE POST! Well, clothes post... i got a letter not so long ago to say i owed a bob or two of tax, so that wasn't as fun. 

I absolutely want the All Saints coat, what an absolute corker!

I will stop being rubbish and pop some outfit posts up soon. promise. I've got a wedding next weekend and i've got a banging little Zara dress to wear so i shall share that with you.

Peace out.

(who says that?!)

KELLY MCALLISTER JEWELLERY.

I've been meaning to post about this for a while, but i have to introduce you to one of my faourite newer jewellery designers, Kelly McAllister. I actually can't quite remember how i first came across her, but i have her page on Facebook & every time i catch one of her posts on my timeline it always contains something stunning! Her trademark use of chainmail is right up my street & makes her peices immediately recognisable. In this day & age, where trends change from one week to the next, it's a real tallent to be able to sustain a unique style but adapt it to current fashions. Her newsest and first full collection "COME AS YOU ARE" has a real gothic grunge feel, heavily focusing on crosses, but still oozes glamour. 

 She also did a collection built around feathers a little while ago which i'll have to share with you, they're just such beautiful statement peices! The contrast between the thick metallic chainmail and delicate feathers works so perfectly.
I hope you enjoy her work as much as i do, i think she is absolutely banging!
