More evidence of the fashion apocalypse that was the 1970s! “I don’t know what they do to your feet but the manufacturers and the fashion editors say, ‘Not to worry, they look great‘”. (This must be how the brainwashing started). A vintage documentary from the archives of British Pathé, rounded up some Londoners for a [...]
Because seriously, what were they thinking? The earliest signs of infection: People standing around in spread eagle pose, looking upwards. Soon men started hanging out together in tight, colorful underpants: One word people: EUROPANTS. Nothing made sense anymore… Oh so that’s why nothing is happening … I’m not wearing Eleganza. Men in shiny shirts [...]
I like to call them Auntie bags because my auntie used to wear one in the 90s all the time. Although she wasn’t exactly my style icon, I have to admit she was onto something. Backpacks are definitely on their way to a major fashion comeback this year and I have to say, I’m [...]
Fashion tends to repeat itself … a lot. In fact sometimes it’s seems that is all it does is ‘borrow’ from another decade, another era. But let’s take a gander at some very interesting styles that today’s designers haven’t yet sent down the catwalk…. 1. Embroidered Knee Highs Knee highs were like, so hot in [...]
You know when get a little drunk and put a belt around your head because it seems fun at the time … no? Well me neither then, but in 1960s Paris, apparently you didn’t have to be drunk to think head belts made your head look more fashionable. From yet another LIFE magazine gem dug [...]
So, let me bring you up to date quickly. Clutch bags are a thing and leather bags that look like paper lunch bags are also a thing. Therefore, Paper Bag clutches are totally, a thing. Another thing is DIY. Bloggers, including myself, are all over that sh*t, blogging about new ways to avoid paying for [...]
Screw stilettos, the sneaker is back! I know, that was lame. Okay look, I’ll never be a fashion writer, or rather, I could never be taken seriously as a fashion writer, but I found a couple of cool kicks while browsing online last night and I want to show them to you… better? 1. Big City [...]
We’ve got fishtails, french crowns, greek style, cage buns, cross plaits and five strands– who knew there were so many impossibly intricate ways to braid hair. Are there braiding schools I missed out on? Pinterest ofcourse, is the place to find your hair braiding inspiration. [Follow Shelly McOwen] [Follow Emily Sanborn] [...]
Sorry to get all girly on you recently but it’s summer and I like to get all kinds of crazy with my nails when it’s sunny out. I know, I’m a crazy gal. UK nail-brand Ciaté (sounds totally British) has just stepped things up a notch with the introduction of their latest product; The Caviar Manicure. Ooooooh! [...]
One morning I woke up and found that a really erroneous ex-boyfriend (i.e: was it really necessary to date that dude) had taken it upon himself to like the Facebook page of Lana Del Rey. [I sincerely apologize to my readers who don't have a clue/ give a sh*t who Lana Del Rey is]. The [...]
