Tastefully Tasteless Jewellery

Beautiful gold love hearts from Pamela Love. I adore how the basic premise of a love heart necklace is innocence and simplicity, but then when you look closely at these you spot the naughty sentiment. What's not to love?

Lagerfeld, You Genius




Karl Lagerfeld's short film 'Remember Now', Parts One and Two. Full of s/s 2010 Chanel clothing and South of France glamour. Enough said, really.

Ring-a-Ding





I have a bit of an obsession with big rings and costume jewellery in general. Be it cheapo rings from Topshop that turn my finger green, or vintage pieces salvaged after trawling through charity shops, its worth it for the insta-glamour that wearing a beautiful ring or brooch gives you.

Dali the Comic


Here is the great artist Salvador Dali showcasing his comedic timing and well earned sense of self-importance on the iconic American television show 'What's My Line?' which ran for two decades. I absolutely love the picture Dali obviously has of himself in his head, and how he manages to win the host and the studio audience around to believing it too. Dali was a well known prankser, both visually in his art, and in real life, and I think this ironic and self-mocking sense of humour is at work in this piece.
