SIMPLY CHARM-ING.

Check out artist Nicola Malkin's amazing ceramic wall-jewellery. What wouldn't we give to be able to have one of these amazing creations hanging on our wall?!

Using traditional ceramic techniques, Nicola uses a multitude of traditional bracelet-charms to tell stories about love, death and personal relationships in a kitsch and quirky way, that we think, is both incredibly beautiful and original.

Favourite charms of ours include the super-cute pieces of fruit, and check out the last picture to find the floral patterened knuckle-duster!

We want.

Nicola we hope you have an exhibition we can come too soon!

GLAMOUR AT THE GOLDEN GLOBES.

If there's one thing guaranteed to get us Liquorish girls out of bed on a dull and dreary January morning, it's the fact that it's fast becoming one of our favourite times of year - yes, it's movie-award season!

It might not be because we're film buffs (although, we love a cinema date just as much as the next girl!) but for us, it's all about those red-carpet dresses.

We've been positively spoiled already, with sparkles and frills a'plenty (swoon). So, scroll down and check out our favourite looks from the Golden Globes - one thing is very clear - glamorous maxi-dresses are sticking around for the duration!

Make you log on to Liquorish and check out what gorgeous long-styles we have to offer.

We'll be on tenterhooks until the Oscars now!

Scarlett Johansson looks super feminine in peachy/nude.


Eva Longoria opts for a dramatic skirt shape.


Christina Hendricks positively sizzles in red.


Kelly Brook proves navy can be sexy.


Angelina Jolie is demure in emerald green.


Amber Riley our favourite 'Glee' actress looks stunning in sparkles.


Peacock Sequin Maxi Dress - £31.50.

Colour Maxi Dress - £31.50.

Our favourite Liquorish styles - just perfect for that movie-star look!

GO NICKI!

Here at Liquorish, we adore the new hip-hop hottie Nicki Minaj.

Fun and flirty, cute and quirky, and with a serious attitude to go with it - she's blasting out of our ipods - and we are obsessed with checking out what latest look she's been working too!

So, how excited were we to see her latest editorial for American fashion-bible V Magazine.
Looking as wild as ever, check out Nicki below rocking some seriously cool body-paint (maybe not a trend for us regular civilians), and as always, managing to make the super-freaky look super-glam.

We might not be opting for the face-painted voodoo look ourselves....but Nicki, we can't wait to see what you'll be rocking next week!

IT'S ALL ABOUT THE BIKER JACKET.

Us Liquorish girls just love the start of the new season - what can be better than starting to plan our Spring/Summer wardrobes?!

And this year, we are just beside ourselves with lust at Burberry's new ad- campaign. Lucky for us, it doesn't only feature the beautiful Cara Delavingne and Jacob Young (swoon...) but also the one, killer piece of clothing that your wardrobe simply wont be complete without- welcome back the Biker Jacket!

Wear it this season in a grown-up way with a jewel coloured mini-dress underneath, or super skinny trousers - who ever thought that looking tough-as-nails could be quite so glamourous!

Plus, log on to Liquorish and check out our own Biker Jacket offerings -as seen below - we just adore the leather bronze biker. Snap one up, and get yourself some fashion-game people!

BLACK SWAN.

We are beside ourselves with excitement at the release of Natalie Portman's latest film, Black Swan.

Not only do we love, love, love the vintage-feel movie poster (how great would that look hanging somewhere in your life?!) but we are already swooning at the film's stunning dance-costumes, all designed by sisters Laura and Kate Mulleavy of the uber-glamourous, red-carpet label, Rodarte.

Expect to see romantic dresses of the highest-order, with reams of taffeta, chiffon and silk, all packaged up to make the most imaginative, stylish, and down-right beautiful Swan Lake costumes that we think we will ever see.

And if you just can't help wishing that you could look like Natalie Portman but for a fraction of the Rodarte price...check out our Liquorish picks below! Uber chic.

YOU'VE GOTTA LOVE WILDFOX!

If you're the type of girl who shivers in her skinny jeans at the thought of leaving the house in a head-to-toe 'look', then it's pretty certain that jumpers, vests and tees are the backbone of your day-to-day, (and then probably to-night!) ensembles.

But, if your favourite breton-stripe is starting to look a bit tired, and that, 'I heart NY' tee has finally given up the ghost, then now is the perfect time to introduce yourself to the cult LA jersey-brand, Wildfox.

Started in 2006 by friends Emily Faulstich and Kimberley Gordon, Wildfox's super-soft jersey pieces and American-vintage inspired designs have become a firm-favourite with both civilians and hollywood celebrities such as Beyonce, Megan Fox and Katy Perry, alike.

Just wear the quirky designs with your usual jeans or leggings, opt for both trainers or heels (we're loving the idea of a fierce heeled hiking-boot ourselves) and imagine that Shoreditch High Street is really the Hollywood Hills.
