How do you get me to fall in love even more with Felicia Day and steampunk?  COMBINE THEM!!!!  After watching this weeks episode of the flog (yep I'm addicted and can't wait till i get home on a tuesday night to see whats up) I have had to hide my wallet so I don't go shopping crazy at Clockwork Couture.

 

So after watching Felicia it was time to hit the  Clockwork Couture website and wow I'm so glad I did.  The clothing is amazing but it doesn't stop there look at this.....

How amazing is this glycerin based soap  and its a  truly a Clockwork Couture exclusive. This rust colored soap is infused with your choice of oils made for Clockwork Couture by an independent blender using any one of our oils.  Skeleton key is vintage and unique. Style will vary. No animal products used.  Soap is packaged in gift worthy label and bag.

Looking for more than just soap and clothing how about these wonderful rings!!!!  

Maybe your after the the Hi-voltage Toric Generator Ring (left); or how about the Dr Von Rosenstein's Induction Principle Ring (centre) or maybe your after something a bit more dainty with the Tea Cup ring. Well lets just say I so want to jump on a plane right now and go shopping.

It really makes me smile to see how many people out there are still making beautiful pieces of clothing that really are pieces of art.  Ok I know your all just scrolling down the pages for the corsets, so here you go with a couple of my favourites.

1. Crimean War Steampunk Overbust Corset

Sweet heart Overbust pattern perfect for long ,medium & short torso female.  I just adore the Antique metal clasp opening and the Tan Faux Leather trim with antique metal chain with button.  It even includes 6 suspender loops at the bottom. 

2. Military Corset with Tails - a Clockwork exclusive

Created for Clockwork Couture us by one of the most amazing corsettiere's I've seen in ages.   This is a high quality tight lacing corset suitable for extended wear. Exclusively for Clockwork Couture, an underbust corset made of cotton denim with hand-sewn soutache on the tails.

Ok so get that steampower pumping and check out this amazing site.  I dare you....

My life in mini

I seem to spend a large portion of my time in hotels at these days, not that I’m complaining, its just an odd feeling. I keep having these Alice in Wonderland moments as so many things in my life are currently miniatures. These days you can pop into any supermarket, Priceline or even gas station and find mini versions of your much needed travel items; but I do remember the days of decanting big bottles of shampoo into smaller bottles or justifying that you really do need to take the massive bottle of body lotion and praying that it won’t explode in your bag.

Ok so I’m also a sucker for this tiny bottles of delight, especially as I can also figure out exactly how much of each thing I need and you get to try different versions all the time to see what you like rather than buying a big bottle only to find it doesn’t have the right scent etc. Plus another bonus as I have a habit of forgetting what I pack (yes customs has taken away my nail clippers and my little pony scissors from my pencil case with me, I mean who has every heard of someone being threatened with cute pink scissors designed for the under 5’s), so these little gems are great as the meet the new carry-on luggage regulations.

I digress. At the moment I’m loving Dove Mini Deodorant and Mini Rexona Girl and Cotton fresh deodorant; these actually last quiet a while. So much so I keep a lynx one in my gym bad and a rexona one in my desk at work.

Now Shampoo’s as any girl will know is a very personal thing. So far I’ve tried Tresemme colored hair Shampoo and conditioner – really good, so far my favourite. I’ve also tried Sunsilk Super-shine Shampoo and conditioner – good but a little heavy for my hair. Next on the list to try (this trip) is VO5.

For all those fly I have Sunsilk strong hairspray or Treseme silk hairspray.

For hands and body I just can’t go past the Vaseline Intensive care lotion, great for the plane as it has Vitamins A, E and Elastin and thankfully this one is absorbed fast and not greasy so I can still pick up my glass of wine and not have it slip out of my little hands.

No more random shower gels or soaps for this gal, now I can sparkle with mini Lux luminous touch body wash or feel extra special princess the Dove cream oil body wash Cherry blossom and almond oil.

I even found this super cute pink lighter for my travel candles when I’m away, and I am keeping an eye out for some gems to stick on after I saw the great works by Violet and Cheeser.
