It's a Dog's Life

I would really quite like a Pupppppyyy PLEASE!

Petite Pois Sil Vous Plait?

Une Flooffy Puupy?

Monsieur Noir, Fierce, Grrrr

Le Grand! :) Oui Oui <3

Beaut!! This is why i love French Vogue. It never fails to put a smile on my face, leading me into temptation and a new world of daydreams.

There's something slightly majestic about the French take on Fashion Imagery. I look at the styling and immediatly digest it as 'this is how it's done'.

I don't question it, i don't critisise it.

I just accept it like its biblicle. I could never compare it to anything, it would be impossible to it's pure class, pure originality.

 They do say France is where style was born. 

British Vogue however is the

same old, DOGEARED, Uninspiring, Dry, Uninventive, DOG-TIRED, over priced rag carried around by encapsulated "Fashion followers", 16 year olds and pretentious posh birds the Country over. Cheryl Cole made the bleeding cover last year for Pete's sake!

Step it up Alexandra Shulman.

I have a perfect example of "Best of British" vs. Viva la Francais.

In the Left Corner representing all things French we have OVERLY Glamourous, Gracious Carla Bruni wife of that Sarkozy dude, French President apparently although i swear he was a hobbit extra in Lord Of The Rings?!

Then in the Right corner, a little tired Samantha Cameron (heavily pregnant with her 4th child, but stil), representing all things Blue and outdated.

Stiff upper lip girls!

Ahahaha Buzzzzzzz buzzzzz ...Flick!

WOOF! Don't fear, my bark is worse than my bite ;)

Glutton for Punishment.

Need i say more-

Hungry for Success

Full of Conformity

and

Starved of Self Worth.

1 Dignity Burger to go please...

Something for the weekend Monsieur?

HAHA YES!!

xo

Going.. Going... MINE!

OK, OK, it's been a while and I'm dedicating this petite piece to my two CRACKALACKIN, loveliest mates Nicole and Alice.

Nicole because she has to put up with me at  V Fest and Alice because she has taught me many, many, many ways of the world this past year. Actually they both have, thanks to Nicole i can cook pasta that Jamie Oliver would envy and thanks to Big Al i can outbid and out think anything and anyone on EBay!!

So here are a few treasures i have found for the festival season...

Courtesy of desperate people who need to make money of eBay :)

Fur Gilet £5

Toppyshoppy parka with fur trim, fish tail vent and Orange lining :)

£40 (Ouch i know! But look at it as an investment :p )

And this is the Winner, currently £75 in topshop, soon to be in my wardrobe for £25!!!

AMAZING a rainbow-y, tassel-y, poncho-y, waistcoat-y bundle of loveliness!

with the addition of Green DMs and some saucy playsuits i think we've got ourselves a smashing summer!

Bring on V.

KANGA KIGU

However i think this little beauty has next years Bestival ticket written all over it :) :) :)

xxo

BIRTHDAY SURPRISE

So the inevitable is happening... I HAVE TO TURN 21!! Eurgh Gross

So if this terrible event has to occur then i have found a few nuggets of present gold to help ease the pain...

Close friends and family..? Take note!

Hello little SEE BY CHLOE sea monster keyring..!

You would sit lovely by my cluster of house and window keys :)

As well as the abundance of locker keys i have failed to hand in over the years!

Oh Bonjour DSQUARED ankle boots...

You would do very well with my Spice Girls nostalgia!

Aaah Marc Jacobs your bags and i meet again...

Corr you Olive coloured tinker! As we know Marc workwear bags are things i hold dear to my heart, and this drawstring beauty with its canvas across the shoulder strap is definitely a lethal weapon every girl needs to tackle this tough, competitive, urban world :D aha!

So there you have it kids, If you haven't already spent your last student loans of the year on festival tickets and rent, then feel free to treat this old gal to a birthday surprise :)

Oh and Mum?... Please no horse riding lessons this year... As it's the formidable 2-1.

 The only Prancing Horse I'd like to be riding should be racing red with at least a V10 and leather seats as standard ;)

Oh and talking about Ferrari... Bring on the Spanish Grand Prix this weekend, let's hope Spaniard Alonso and his Red Pony don't have an easy ride!

Yeyeye Gracias.

IDOL OF THE WEEK

Bonjour! So I've had a touch of Fashion claustrophobia recently and have resulted to running back to my rural roots. A romantically desolate place where buses come once and hour, the postman knows my name and there are only 4 copies of Vogue in the whole county!

However the enticing glimpses of DSQUARED2 SS10 have coaxed me out my culture shell and got my heart racing once again.

So last years tacky stunts of Mark Fast left an unsavoury Canadian taste in my mouth but cheeky chappy twins Dan and Dean have taken the chill from Toronto and brought a brand new cool into the fashion mainstream.

The styling itself is enough to bring joyful tears to your eyes, but the genius accessorising of coffee cups and mobile phones is enough to send me off my rocker!

Grey hoodie avec a lil leather? A style after my own heart.

Also the "putting on a coat whilst running for a bus" look is pure eye candy! :)

Khaki cropped combats and heels is a classic look i have longed to pull off...

Oh and also.. Apparently we don't do our belts up with the old fashion buckles and holes. Oh no-no-no.. We just tie them :) Rock and roll.

Leopard print AND Denim? .. I'm salivating

The film of my life will feature this look somehow, i promise!!

Grrr who's a tiger? Check out that detailing :) what a dream.

Even the editorial campaigns are enough to give Diesel and D&G a run for their money!

Albeit the techniques ain't mind blowing, but i would kill to have that collection in my wardrobe <3

BEEEA-UTIFUL

Nice one boys

xxo

RETURN OF THE MAD SCIENTISTS

OK, OK, so a wise woman once told me that if you are to take 'inspiration' from another design/designer, then you need to make around 7-11 identifiable changes if you are to call the idea yours.

So what the heck, may i ask, have the creative munchkins at ASOS been smoking?

ASOS POW

I'm not being funny mate but...

TOPSHOP BOUTIQUE

TOPSHOP LACE UP WEDGES

TOPSHOP PACE

Talk about hybrid creating... CRIKEY ... It's like TOPSHOP threw up on you!

HAPPY BOOTDAY!

So the best thing to come from Northampton second to Alan Carr has to be these majestic icons of footwear history!

Basically a German bloke from...Well Germany, injured his poor widdle ankle in skiing accident and in an attempt to find some shexy ankle support avec air padded soles, he stumbled (excuse the pun) upon a cheeky chappy from Northants who reckoned he could help him out. Then before they knew it 50 years had passed and they had created a one-in-a-million creation.

In the swinging 60's; as well as a skinhead and a gnarly pit bull, a Punk wouldn't be a Punk if he wasn't accompanied by this WEL'ARD tootsie attire.

These days we're all jumping on the band wagon, i had my reservations but it was only until my superstar mother revealed that she had a pair in the mid 80's accompanied by legwarmes of evey colour! Whaaaaat? A bombshell that lead me running to Amazon/Ebay.

Some might think that '1460 and 8 holes' was the last year golf was interesting but instead it's the mighty landmark in which these beauties came about :)

Even designers are attempting to put their own stamp on them..

Wow, easy there Raf Simmons! I know they're renowned for their ankle support but i doubt even the mothers of Madness or The Who would even wear these!

 

These newbies come courtesy of legend Yohji Yamamoto!

Everyone's at it!
