black & blue

The snood got some action two days after I bought it. Favouritism at its very best. I very nearly typed 'nepotism' but that's a worrying thought right there. Related to great big wooly holes that I favour??!!? Actually.......nah, I kid ;)

I realised that not only is the snood a multi-wearable item of clothing (as a thick-knit neck scarf/as a snood/as a pillow/as an electric blanket for your ears) but that I'm turning the world into a snood-hood, one person at a time.

I bought Stuart one, Charlie has my guarantee I'll buy him one....who's next?

I also got Stuart to take a close-up of my hands as I'm wearing this cool nailpolish that Erika sent me (NYC Big Apple Red Creme - thank you hun :) and that I mixed with a magenta shade from Modelista. The rings make up part of my normal body armour.
