Back In The Chain Gang...

Forget Borders, Falcon News on Bethnal Green is the be-all-end-all newsagents. Amongst the old favourites...Pick Me Up, Chat and carefully poly-bagged 'man material' I managed to track down the elusive Russh magazine. My love of gold chains has already been documented, but imagine how I felt when I saw this Zimmermann chain-laden body con. I think there's very little that I wouldn't do for it & the pic in their online store completely doesn't do it justice so I'm wondering if the AUDS 1,100 price tag might slip a little come sale time? I'm just off to look up currency conversion rates...

Na Na Alright Alright...

If Zack Morris covers the male department, then the honour of girl crush must surely go to Clarissa of Explains It All fame. Those high waisted denims, velvet chokers and over sized leather jackets could be fresh from a slightly dubious street style blog. The best saved til last of course...layering ripped shorts, polka dot leggings and white ankle socks with her kickin' DMs was a stroke of wardrobe genius & the long blonde hair and slightly askew 'bangs' look far better than those Shorditchey under cuts which are still sadly hanging about...only about 10 years too late girls Clarissa already had it nailed.

P.S. Oh and the Nickelodeon legend? Clarissa's brother Ferg-face of course!

The Dog Ate All My Homework Last Night...

Also, if we're on the theme of heartthrobs, I may as well mention THE kids' TV hunk of our generation, Zack Morris.

Though I'm quite the fan of curly hair these days, Slater was far too macho and Screech was simply a no-go, but Zack had us all in awe with his scheming and giant 'cellphone'.

So I always wished I was Kelly, but instead have been told I laugh like Mr. Belding.

90s Nickelodeon, what a golden age.  Anyone remember this lad?

Beam Me Up...

I'm not usually one for space adventures, but the new Star Trek film has got me all excited.  I have a sneaky suspicion its because the film looks good, dare I say stylish. 

Just look at this exquisite boomerang print, will you?  You cannot go wrong with a good old print.

Kudos to Michael Kaplan, of Blade Runner and Fight Club fame.  He also worked on Armageddon and Gigli, but lets not go there...

Disney Bad Boys...

For all those who enjoyed our Disney boy 'debate' before the Menswear show...Jo. Jo. or Efron?

Soft Top...

A wind swept looking Naomi from The Model As Muse exhibition currently on at the Met. Anyway fancy a repeat trip to New York this Summer? Also I think that three dalmations is just plain greedy...I'm only asking for one.

First Stop...

Some exciting news...only a year too late...but my Dad informs me that today a friendly courier delivered the greatest document a girl could ever receive..MY PASSPORT! I know you didn't think anyone was stupid enough to lose theirs, and you were all starting to doubt the actual reason why I couldn't leave the country, but it's the whole truth & this one is staying safely. under lock and key. Now where shall we go?

I Love Kanye....

& so does she.

To A Theatre Near You

This is about as close as I can actually get to Chanel and not break my bank account, and it's almost here! We've been teased for months with snippets here and there; and with pictures like these, it sure does look good. Karl Lagerfeld let the films costume designers loose in the Chanel archives and he even designed one or two outfits for Audrey Tautou for the film.


She is one lucky duck! I wonder if she got to keep any of the clothes? - I would have taken them all!

Who Would Have Though?

While many of us can safely say that American Vogue is slowly slipping down the ranks to be more on the same level as Cosmo, the latest issues actually has models (plural) on the front cover! While this may not be enough to save the magazine, it will be interesting to see if it will sell more issues then when celebrities (of which there are too many) are put on the cover. It's a nice change, I got to say. I'm tired of seeing celebrities with busy backgrounds on fashion magazines every single month. What happened to all the models? French Vogue hasn't forgotten about them!

A Night At The Circus

La Clique; the cabaret creation currently showing at the London Hipperdrome in Leciecester Square is an abosolute must see for all. The perfect blend of the bizarity, bravery, and beauty; the combination of acts including contortionists, gymnasts, singers and unicyclists.

Including:

Mario Queen of the Circus

Amy G

(whos musical talents will leave your jaw on the floor)

And the devine David O'Mer

(my own personal highlight - think real-life Diet Coke Break) 

 

Tickets start at £15 

(Over 18s Only)
