It appears everything we read/watch at the moment has been vamped up. Where did this vampire and supernatural obsession wave come from? and more importantly how can we wear it??

DOMINIC JONES has burst onto the scene with his fiesty jewellery collections that have quickly gained a cult celebrity following. Looking at his work it is not surprising to learn that queen of punk, Alice Dellal is not only modelling the colections but is actually his partner in the business.
She wolf Shakira?







However, a more practical approach: DARK LIPS- keep eyes light and subtle to avoid achieving a witch-esque look.
An instant way to vamp up those uninspired get ups.. done.
