If only this could truly stop me eating sweets

An Eye for Detail


Forget being starry-eyed get paper-eyed with Paperself lashes.




Launched in 2009 by london-based designer Chunwei Liao, these laser-cut false lashes are so delicate and beautiful, transforming your eyes into little works of art.
I stumbled across the brand today, sadly without enough time to take them up on the offer of a trial I simply had a little perve on their amazing wares. Each design represents a different meaning and idea which certainly is a far cry from the throw away nature of the oft purchased eyelash ranges in other stores.
If you wanted to make people look into your eyes, decorating your lashes with flowers and rabbits is certainly a good place to start.

Paperself lashes are available online http://www.paperself.com/ as well as a host of stores. However, if you are wandering around Somerset House this fashion week, pop into the exhibition space for a free trial.

LFW A/W 2011: Jasper Conran

The drizzle dusted fashion crowd bustled back into Somerset House today, throwing aside after the party hangovers from last night to embrace another day of LFW 2011.

Jasper Conran gave Studio 54 a valium in his relaxed sixties inspired collection.
A delicate ensemble of plums, chocolate and sheer mini dresses alongside sporty neoprene playsuits teamed with gamine 60's cropped hair and over the knee boots were playfully sophisticated.

The soft palette accentuated the modernist style of the monochrome organza shift dresses with simple geometric details worn with car coats and ballet flats.

Sequins and patchwork leather injected the sixties excitement into the collection with cascades of pewter and silver sequins, hinged leather patch dresses and mini skirts in chocolate and aubergine tones. Oversized plum ostrich feather coats and rich layered fur jackets really warmed up this wholly wearable and delicate collection.
