Moonlit sky fills her eyes&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I seem to be getting quite addicted to jewellery at the moment, I&#8217;ve always worn jewellery, I feel naked without at least a necklace or ring, but this year it&#8217;s been making up the majority of my purchases, though most have been discarded by now. For Christmas &#038; next year I&#8217;m going to try to make the effort to buy more expensive \/ investment pieces instead of the cheap crap from ASOS &#038; Topshop I&#8217;ve been buying a lot of recently, wearing a few times &#038; then throwing because its become discoloured &#038; given me a rash. I&#8217;ve done it with shoes, so I can definitely do it with jewellery too.<\/p>\n<p>Whilst googling for some inspiration for future purchases &#038; Christmas lists, I came across <a href=\"http:\/\/www.marialau.co.uk\">Maria Lau<\/a>, her A\/W 2011 collection &#8216;Two Planets&#8217; is pretty much exactly what I&#8217;ve been looking for. The combination of softer elements such as the plaiting &#038; long faux hair with the chunky boulders &#038; tusks give it a luxury, androgynous feel &#038; the palette of blacks &#038; nudes (obviously) appeals massively to me. I love pieces that are extremely versatile like this too, everything in the collection would work equally as well whether paired with a killer dress or with a tee &#038; jeans. The two choker style necklaces are by far my favourites, but I do love a good choker so maybe I&#8217;m biased, I&#8217;d be happy if any one of these pieces turned up under my tree though.<\/p>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.faiiint.com\/faiiint\/faiiint\/images\/marialau_aw11_2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.faiiint.com\/faiiint\/faiiint\/images\/marialau_aw11_2.jpg\" alt=\"Maria Lau, Autumn \/ Winter 2011, Lookbook, Jewellery, Sheer, Braclets, Bangles, Black, Rocks, Hair\" title=\"Maria Lau Autumn \/ Winter 2011 Lookbook\" width=\"770\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1518\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.faiiint.com\/faiiint\/faiiint\/images\/marialau_aw11_2.jpg 525w, http:\/\/www.faiiint.com\/faiiint\/faiiint\/images\/marialau_aw11_2-210x300.jpg 210w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 525px) 100vw, 525px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.faiiint.com\/faiiint\/faiiint\/images\/marialau_aw11_collisionnecklace-e1322855144114.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.faiiint.com\/faiiint\/faiiint\/images\/marialau_aw11_collisionnecklace-e1322855144114.jpg\" alt=\"Maria Lau, Autumn \/ Winter 2011, Collision, Necklace, Stones, Rocks, Spikes, Black\" title=\"Maria Lau Autumn \/ Winter 2011 Collision Necklace\" width=\"770\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1527\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.faiiint.com\/faiiint\/faiiint\/images\/marialau_aw11_collisionnecklace-e1322855144114.jpg 567w, http:\/\/www.faiiint.com\/faiiint\/faiiint\/images\/marialau_aw11_collisionnecklace-e1322855144114-274x300.jpg 274w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 567px) 100vw, 567px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.faiiint.com\/faiiint\/faiiint\/images\/marialau_aw11_bracelets.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.faiiint.com\/faiiint\/faiiint\/images\/marialau_aw11_bracelets.jpg\" alt=\"Maria Lau, Autumn \/ Winter 2011, Braclets, Rocks, Hair, Jewellery, Plait, Braided, Stones, Claw\" title=\"Maria Lau Autumn \/ Winter 2011 Braclets\" width=\"770\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1526\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.faiiint.com\/faiiint\/faiiint\/images\/marialau_aw11_bracelets.jpg 571w, http:\/\/www.faiiint.com\/faiiint\/faiiint\/images\/marialau_aw11_bracelets-300x168.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 571px) 100vw, 571px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.faiiint.com\/faiiint\/faiiint\/images\/marialau_aw11_venusnecklace.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.faiiint.com\/faiiint\/faiiint\/images\/marialau_aw11_venusnecklace.jpg\" alt=\"Maria Lau, Autumn \/ Winter 2011, Venus, Necklace, Stones, Rocks, Spikes, Black, Hair\" title=\"Maria Lau Autumn \/ Winter 2011 Venus Necklace\" width=\"770\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1529\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.faiiint.com\/faiiint\/faiiint\/images\/marialau_aw11_venusnecklace.jpg 500w, http:\/\/www.faiiint.com\/faiiint\/faiiint\/images\/marialau_aw11_venusnecklace-122x300.jpg 122w, http:\/\/www.faiiint.com\/faiiint\/faiiint\/images\/marialau_aw11_venusnecklace-416x1024.jpg 416w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Venus and Earth.
