Hell Yes!

LCF have gotten back to me and I am loving the reply!

Lets just hope I don’t fuck this up, which is something I seem to be doing a lot of lately…

One track mind, One track heart,
If I fail I’ll fall apart,
Maybe it is all a test,
‘cos I feel like I’m the worst,
So I always act like I’m the best…

Katie Eary Autumn/Winter 2010

Happy Birthday to me!

Seriously it is my birthday, I am now officially in my twenties, and what better way to start the decade than eyeing up the new Katie Eary collection! It didnt have the immediate spark that her Spring/Summer did but it is growing on me and some pieces I just Lovelovelove!

Fur coats please!

You look at me it’s like you hit me with lightning

Handle bars, and then I let go, let go for anyone
Take me in, and throw out my heart and get a new one

Next thing we're touching
You look at me it's like you hit me with lightning
Ahhh
Oh, everybody's starry-eyed
And everybody goes
Oh, everybody's starry-eyed
And my body goes
Whoa oh oh ah ah
Whoa oh oh ah ah
Whoa oh oh

Journey to Atlantis

Model – Myself

So last Tuesday, as some of you may already know via Twitter, me and a few other students in my class tried out some underwater Photography. So the next few photos are a collaboration between:

Penny Pearson
Tom Llewellyn
Sarah Gee
Kristie Parry-Jones
and Myself

All Editing is done by me, and the quality is awful because we used disposable cameras!

Model – Sarah Gee

The seaweed is always greener
In somebody else’s lake
You dream about going up there
But that is a big mistake
Just look at the world around you
Right here on the ocean floor
Such wonderful things surround you
What more is you lookin’ for?

Model - Myself

Under the sea
Under the sea
Darling it’s better
Down where it’s wetter
Take it from me
Up on the shore they work all day
Out in the sun they slave away
While we devotin’
Full time to floatin’
Under the sea

Model – Penny Pearson

Down here all the fish is happy
As off through the waves they roll
The fish on the land ain’t happy
They sad ’cause they in their bowl
But fish in the bowl is lucky
They in for a worser fate
One day when the boss get hungry
Guess who’s gon’ be on the plate

Model - Tom Llewellyn

Under the sea
Under the sea
Nobody beat us
Fry us and eat us
In fricassee
We what the land folks loves to cook
Under the sea we off the hook
We got no troubles
Life is the bubbles
Under the sea
Under the sea
Since life is sweet here
We got the beat here
Naturally
Even the sturgeon an’ the ray
They get the urge ‘n’ start to play
We got the spirit
You got to hear it
Under the sea

Model - Sarah Gee

The newt play the flute
The carp play the harp
The plaice play the bass
And they soundin’ sharp
The bass play the brass
The chub play the tub
The fluke is the duke of soul
(Yeah)
The ray he can play
The lings on the strings
The trout rockin’ out
The blackfish she sings
The smelt and the sprat
They know where it’s at
An’ oh that blowfish blow

Model - Myself and Kristie Parry-Jones

Under the sea
Under the sea
When the sardine
Begin the beguine
It’s music to me
What do they got? A lot of sand
We got a hot crustacean band
Each little clam here
know how to jam here
Under the sea
Each little slug here
Cuttin’ a rug here
Under the sea
Each little snail here
Know how to wail here
That’s why it’s hotter
Under the water
Ya we in luck here
Down in the muck here
Under the sea

Model - Sarah Gee

Milan Menswear Shows – Part 6

VIVIENNE WESTWOOD

Anyone who is a frequent visitor to this blog will know by now that I love Vivienne Westwood, and this collection is no exception! It’s not just the clothes it’s the whole atmosphere Westwood puts into her shows. The runway was covered in cardboard boxes, the models were dressed like hobos, pushing trolleys and carrying sleeping bags. It just adds a little more fun to fashion, and I love it!

I Love this entire outfit but especially the jacket!

I also love this! Once again I love the jacket the most. I wasn’t so keen on the idea of man skirts, but they are slowly beginning to grow on me!

I have to admit I Love striped suits and this is no exception!

These waistcoats are definitely, the best of all the Milan shows this season, I just love the shape!

This jacket? Yes please! It may not be as impressive as some of the coats in the Burberry Prorsum show but I still love it!

This outfit is definitely my pick of the collection, I love everything about it!

Anyway here’s the whole collection, I need to get myself one of those “Get a Life T-Shirts”

The Alexa Chung Mulberry

Well here we have it, the first pictures of Mulberry’s new bag named after Alexa Chung.

Now I get that Alexa is pretty but as for saying she’s a “style icon” i’m not so sure.

Anyway as for the actual bag, its a take on the iconic Bayswater bag, and i’d go as far as to say that I like it a lot more than the bayswater!

Check out more pictures below!

Welcome Back

So It’s been ages since my last post, but i have some special news!

Well actually it’s not that special…

Anyway first of all you may have noticed the Blog has a new look! I changed the coding myself, which is why it may still need a few tweaks.

Second – Happy New year, As of this moment over 7,000 people have visited here, which is nothing in comparison to many blogs, but as I only really started about 6 months ago it’s  definitely a success for me. Which is why I’d like to say thank you to all you people who visit here! Also now I have added a counter to the site so we can all check on it, so don’t let me down!

Thirdly – From this moment I am taking the blog in a new direction. Don’t worry I will still be posting about fashion news etc. But I will also start posting some of my own work onto this blog for feedback, so please don’t be afraid to tell me what you think…even if you hate it…just try not to be too nasty!

anyway Hope you all have a great Year

V Magazine’s Plus Size Issue

As some of you may know I am kinda against this “plus size movement” that seems to be going on in the fashion world. Models are there to look better than you, thats their job. Fashion is about fantasy where everything is perfect, no one wants to flick open Vogue to see the “average” woman.

So as I do like the idea of this spread and Crystal Renn (The plus size model) does look alright in these clothes, I still think Jacquelyn Jablonski looks better.

I really hope this movement doesn’t catch on. Now I’m not supporting super skinny ill models, but you can still be healthy and skinny!

Anyway check out below for the rest of the spread.

Buy Lady Gaga’s Clothes

Check out Not Just a Label, where they are selling some of the clothes that Lady Gaga has been seen in. So no Gaga won’t have actually worn the clothes, but some of the stuff on there is pretty good. Unfortunately all of the “affordable” stuff sold out fast, but if you have the money you should definitely check it out!

ZARA Menswear Lookbook December 09

I actually like everything in this lookbook, and if I wasn’t so poor I would actually go and buy some of it. I really like the military style jacket, well I say military but it looks more like a Lion tamer jacket. The boots are catching my eye aswell…I’m gonna have to go in an scope the January sales after Christmas and see what I can get!
