Christina Ricci in 'Malice in Wonderland' 
for The Face, Feb '98

It was while browsing the internet for something completely unrelated that I came across the photographs of Christina Ricci circa 1998.  I have always thought she was pretty cool and interesting and quite unlike any other of the 'young Hollywood actresses' out there that are so interchangeable, ever since I first saw her as Wednesday Addams at 13 years old.  

The interview that accompanies the editorial definitely proves that- giving us a snapshot of a 17 year old Ricci in all her weirdness.  Check it out at TFS.

I need me some of these shorts; either a super cropped crochet pair a la Vanessa. Alternatively a lacy pair that look like they could be lingerie similar to the second and third pics, styled with either an oversize shirt/tshirt or chunky knit.

The first and last pairs are Stone Cold Fox Chickie Bloomers, third Micro Tap Pants by Free People and second pair are an awesome DIY.

"Darling, all night
I have been flickering, off, on, off, on.
The sheets grow heavy as a lecher's kiss.


Three days. Three nights.
Lemon water, chicken
Water, water make me retch.


I am too pure for you or anyone.
Your body
Hurts me as the world hurts God. I am a lantern ----


My head a moon
Of Japanese paper, my gold beaten skin
Infinitely delicate and infinitely expensive.


Does not my heat astound you. And my light.
All by myself I am a huge camellia
Glowing and coming and going, flush on flush.


I think I am going up,
I think I may rise ----"


I have been inside watching the rain and bad tv for most of the weekend, with a cold that began on Friday 13th... coupled with a few other things, this has led me to act a little more irrationally than usual.  Listening to Laura Marling on repeat can only be adding to my state of delirium.

It's Monday tomorrow and back to normality, so let's hope it passes by then.

I saw these amazing and unusual rings by Turkish label Ottoman Hands on Topshop's blog recently which are now being stocked at a concession in the Oxford Circus store.

I and no doubt every other like-minded fashionista with a penchant for bohemian style statement jewellery, (judging by the fact that almost EVERY style is sold out on their website!) find the mix of semi-precious stones in unexpected shapes and cuts totally irresistible.

Prices from £38-£68 at Ottoman Hands.
