Aren't these GORGEOUS?  Hand knitted by Lina B. from Lithuania, and available at her Etsy shop LyraLyra, these are perfect for the impending chill.  I love how they are so nouveau-Nordic, intricate yet modern, and just plain absolutely-fabulous.  As much as I am lusting to wear a pair of these, I am also SO wishing I could knit like this...

*Sigh*... the FLY London Mes boot, how gorgeous is she.  I tried them on at the shop the other day, and they are SO comfortable, I swear, I could sleep in them.  Cutest thing though, my Happy Skull tattoo on my calf pops a peek-a-boo. :)

Usually, my Lust List is more materialistic and less gastronomic.  But having been in London more than 6 months now, I get vulnerable sometimes, and dream of "proper" food...

Bak chor mee... *slurp*

Char kway teow... *groan*

Popiah... *weep*

Fishball noodles... *sob*

Wanton mee... O_O (someone kill me now)

Hokkein mee... *_* (die already)

Gosh.  This has been very hard.  And to think I shall have to have a salmon, cheese and rocket sandwich for lunch (bleeyuck!) makes it even harder... *sad sigh*

Collar Me Fancy

I discovered these recently, and can't get over how absolutely fabulous they are.  Collar necklaces: accessory, jewelry, or clothing?  Plus, the looks you can put to them are endless...

Aren't these just the most darling-looking things ever?

 

Truthfully, my metal crochet hooks get really cold to the touch in this dastardly weather.  So I went about looking for crochet hooks with a handle.  And I found these!  Crochet hooks with handy (and gorgeous) grips, made by Emma at Emsyjane.

 

These are just a few.  She has loads more irresistible designs. I am planning to one day HAVE THEM ALL!  MUAHAHAHAHA!!

This is entitled Undress by artist Clare Elsaesser, and is available at her Etsy shop Tastes of Orangey.

I'm loving this for to hang in the bathroom. So serene, so innocent, so apt.

Ah... the BB by Michel Molinas, a Paris brand that's hitting the bag scene by storm. I am going to get my hands on this one...

Michel Molinas is apparently Paris' best-kept secret. A family label with a history steeped in leather bag crafting.

My fashionista-business-guru friend, Rachel, who owns Lush Icon, where MAYA & RUHI is at in KL, is stocking these gorgeous-lovelies in her boutique. The BB comes in black, camel and a few other colours. To see the entire Michel Molinas range at Lush Icon, click here.

Oooh, I like the serious-ness of it all. No-nonsense, void of logo, and totally handmade and marketed by a decidedly private "Danish one-woman company", at her Etsy shop valhallabrooklyn. The whole Credibility thing just gives me goose-bumps...

The 5-pocket Willow bag in graphite... I SO want!

It's not all that inexpensive. This one is going for USD319 (not including shipping). But I like the fact that you're actually paying for good leather and dedicated workmanship here. And that the bulk of the retail price is not toward a little brass logo fastened onto the front of the bag solely for attention/fabulous-ness.

Plus, it's just so goddamned gorgeous...! :)

Just how cute is this dress...


100% cotton, super-easy to wear, and very forgiving to my beer belly. I LOVE IT!! There is NO way I am not getting one...

Kasey has an Etsy shop, kayemkay, and is the lovely designer and crafter of some of the cutest dresses I have seen. Do head on over to check them out! :)

Patkas is a lovely line of bags and clothing, lovingly handmade from scratch by its namesake designer Patka. She is a devoted mother-of-two, and works solely on her own from her home studio in Poland.

I am quite completely in love with these simple yet gorgeous leather bags. So elegantly casual, and good to have when you have more than just wallet and lipstick to carry around (read: monster wallet, hand sanitiser, chocolate bar, notebook (lined), notebook (plain), pens, hair clips and elastic bands, phone, lip gloss, mirror, Barbie doll (or teddy bear, depending on Ruhi's mood), lightweight shawl...). Aren't these just perfect?

The Sylvia ring from ermadid at Etsy. How super-cool is this? A wooden filigree cocktail ring that's bound to be a conversational piece. ;D

On Maya's Lust List

Maya has been trawling through Etsy with the keyword "dog", and this doggy pendant from CuteAbility was left in my Favourites.

Yes, it is cute. In fact, maybe a little too cute...

How genius is a Mix 'n Match Watch-n-Bracelet, you tell me? I chanced upon this on one of my many magazine forays, charged towards the website, only to find myself even more smitten by the entire idea of creating your very own piece of La Mer.

You can either shop from the existing collection, or customise a piece for yourself. La Mer's website has this really clever feature that lets you pick your preference of a watch face, a strap colour, and a set of charms, and bungs it all together seamlessly, to entice you into clicking the 'Add Watch To Cart" button.

Very dangerous stuff, if you're the click-happy Internet-shopper. You know, the type that zone out and start chanting "Got. To. Have.". 'Coz seriously, these things are just too goddamned cute!

(Funny thing. I showed Maya the website so she could have some fun mixing and matching, and she said, "Why would anyone want to call their stuff 'Lame-er'?")

Isn't she lovely? There is a marsh brown that's pretty gorgeous, a russet-orange one that's very cheerful, and a purpley blue one that is quite to-die-for. But I think this classic black one rawks the hell out of the pair of swallows. Too cute. GOT. TO. HAVE...

I have been salivating over Lulu's work for many, many months.

Being a Frida-fan aside, I love the colours, the overwhelming number of elements, and how Frida Kahlo looks like a Powerpuff Girl. Aren't these just the cutest pieces of art!?

I think I am going to give in right now. 'Coz there's a "Buy 2 Prints and Get 1 Free" offer at her Etsy shop, My Pink Turtle Studio.

New Acquisition

Stunningly similar to the one on my Lust List, no?

These are from ZARA. I was thinking of getting the dove-grey version, but I thought the brown looked nicer with my tattoo. :)
