GOLD CRUST

Wearing: Ann Demeulemeester blazer and top, Acne trousers, bags by Danielle Foster, jewellery by Imogen Belfield and E. A. Burns, nails by So Hot Right Nail

The second instalment of my accessories shoot with Bengt and nail artist So Hot Right Nail. These were my favourite nails, hands down and I kept them on for a couple of weeks, until picking off the gems one by one became just too satisfying. Totally head over heels for all the Imogen Belfield jewellery, it's like wearing rocks straight from the mine! Also, the coolest up and coming handbag designer, Danielle Foster, all the bronze and matt leathers are too irresistible to me! To see more amazing up and coming talent, go straight to BENGT.

BEHIND THE SCENES WITH BENGT

Last weekend Bengt invited me along to be a fly on the wall during the SS12 and AW12 shoot. There were so many things to feast my eyes upon, I'm always keen to see what goes on on the other side and it was fun watching the Bengt girls style the looks together, whilst Lou Lou strutted back and forth in the insane platform Finsk shoes! 

I'm so excited to announce that key pieces from my SS12 collection are available to buy on Bengt as of today, along with the other beautiful accessories you see accompanying the collection! The AW12 pieces you see snippets of will be available from September. I can't wait to see you guys rocking the pieces! I'll have to finally make some for myself too - crazy that I haven't done that yet.

BUBBLE KNUCKLE

"The creation of these beautiful porcelain forms juxtaposed with metal is only made possible by an uglier, less attractive material being formed, filled and kilned."

"Geometric shapes, clusters of nuggets, glinting green emeralds and luxuriant crimson rubies that sit deep in the natural crevices of gold, silver and bronze, are reminiscent of the precarious boulders that cling and jut out of the coastal landscape."

"Star clusters, bubbling gases, spiralling milky ways, and angular meteorites, are all at the core of Imogen’s collection, ‘Equilibrium’ . The incredible colours and shapes seen in the solar system have inspired and evolved Imogen’s designs, developing her techniques of fusing bronze, gold and silver with porcelain into dramatic molten-like formations."

"Architectural ‘ is inspired by the city, transforming skyscrapers into miniature porcelain forms that nestle within the protective grip of silver, gold and bronze."

Imogen Belfield Jewellery

When I stumbled upon Imogen Belfield's jewellery over at fashion156, I was overcome with greed. Belfield's jewellery collections are so rich and mourish, you want it all.

She has four collections, The Unshores, Equilibrium, Achitectural, and diffusions, Each one more beautiful than the next.

The rings are somewhat affordable too ranging from £100 - £500, depending on the metals.
