I love SKULLS

I make no secret of the fact that I have a love for skull adorned accessories.  I don't know what it is, maybe it's that little bit of punk or pirate in me.  I just really love to juxtapose something pretty with that grunginess of a cool sparkly skull.  I was inspired by my fab dressing friend Emma to do a feature on skulls, so I hope everyone appreciates them as much as she and I do.  In my book, no one does skulls better than Alexander McQueen of course.  Not only do they add sparkly skulls to our jewellery lust lists...

...they are also adorning our bags, scarves and shoes with these brilliant babies!

If I had a million dollars, a fair whack of that would be spent on Alex skulls, sigh...
For those who can already see www.net-a-porter.com

But McQueen isn't the only one embracing the skeletal movement at the moment.  I am equally impressed with Mawi's new skull incorporating range.  Adorning them on classically elegant earrings and necklaces, here is a couple from the range available from www.charmandchain.com

And Dannijo (available at www.charmandchain.com) have put colour and multiple skulls together to create a glorious necklace...

Want a necklace that is a little more affordable though...

These pretties are available from www.topshop.co.uk 

Maybe a bracelet, working in a bit of our "friendship" trend from last post...

The pirate in all of us is rejoicing...
