Today I'm showcasing the beautiful FKA skin from Revoul.

I knew it was a homage to the artist FKA Twigs, but honestly, I wasn't entirely sure who this person was. I've since watched a few of her music videos, listened to her music and done a little bit of research on her, and it turns out that not only is this amazingly talented woman a genre of her own, but she's also a bloody Brit! Go-on, Love! Also, can we just take a minute to admire the completely gorgeous hair styles she sports? Kthnx.

The inspiration behind the look today was based on FKA Twigs "Two Weeks" Music Video, which you can see right at the bottom of this post!

Above you'll find all the tones that are available in the FKA Skin Range. It's worth noting that the teeth are on the skin, so even when your lips are closed, you're going to see them. It did take me a minute to make a shape for my mouth, but I'm almost certain you'll agree the result is well worth it! There is a shape available from Revoul.. I just really enjoy making my own!

Check out the cute lipstick shades!

Plato apparently said "Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything."

I have to admit, I kind of agree.

I have never been overly passionate about a particular band or style of music. 

At 7 or 8, my next-door neighbour went to a Michael Jackson concert and bought me back a program. Instantly I decided that I was going to marry him, and made it my goal to learn (very basically) the keyboard notes to "Beat it".

At 11, I started to get really interested in learning to make my own music, and eventually was chosen to learn the Viola (instances of that nonsense have been previously spoken about in this blog!).

When I was 16ish (shh), I thought I had a crush on Gary Barlow from Take That - but I didn't really. I just wanted to be accepted by the kids at school who thought Take That were the shit.

It was around the same time I was lucky enough to see The Rolling Stones in concert (admittedly the only concert I have ever been to), and without a doubt it is something I will remember forever, despite not being a superfan. The atmosphere was beyond amazing, all those people of different ages coming together, celebrating the sound of Mick Jaggers impeccable vocals.

Breaking up with my first 'proper' boyfriend at age 18 left me sobbing as I clicked record watching MTV, capturing all the sappy lovesongs I could possibly think of on VHS and then in an act that now leaves me cringing, I passed the video to his friend to give to him. Ugh. I'm pretty sure Britney Spears and BackStreet Boys were prevalent across that awful, embarrassing vid.

When I found out I was pregnant, Pink Floyd's "The Wall" became super important to me -  my daughter kicked IN RHYTHM for the entire song when I was in the car... and when she was born Travis' "Flowers in the window" made me cry and Plumbs "In my arms" made my heart explode.

When I broke up with my Fiance, and I thought my world was ending, Leona Lewis and Three Days Grace pulled me through, my bedroom windows open and me singing loud enough to disturb the neighbours #noshame.

More recently, my Daughter performed Adele's "Chasing Pavements" in public, and now I can't listen to that without remembering the pride I felt watching her confidence shine.

What i'm trying to say is that for every important part of your life, there has probably been a song that you can relate to. A memory that is attached, whether good or bad.

I revel in these songs, these moments, and I hope you do, too.

Paloma is making her return to the blog today in order to showcase the pretties I couldn't fit into yesterdays postie from Moss&Mink. I know, I know. More Moss&Mink, but I'm not even sorry!! The cuts of these dresses are absolutely gorgeous, and the designs are different to anything I've seen on SL. They're wonderfully detailed - as usual, the dress that Paloma is wearing has an adorable cut between the skirt and the top that just shows the slightest hint of skin, and the lace detailing in the dress Pickle wears is... well it's stunning, along with the cute bow around the and the delicately placed flowers across the skirt. I love that once again Moss&Mink has managed to make me feel both girly AND womanly with these amazing dresses.

I'm glad it's March now, because although the ground in my RL is covered in snow at the moment (thus causing the whole of the UK to go into a melt-down - I mean people are literally skiing to work, but that's another story) it reminds me that spring is most definitely on the way, which means cute baby animals (C'mon goats, make me babies and put 'em in Pj's!) and slightly warmer weather, colourful flowers and sitting in the garden for TEA PARTIES! \o/

As usual, you can find all the details on Paloma & Pickle below. Happy Saturday!
