I have a lot of love for my sequin skirt
Woah, hello majorly neglected tumblr, hello.
I wanted to drop some ‘yeahh i’m back baby’ shizz, but it’s still final year and I at least just wanna Harry Potter style graduation snap for the parents front room, so my priorities have to be kind of forced into a supposedly logical order, for now.
But I sort of just remembered that I like to write things and some pictures are nice and stuff.
So I guess that’s a start …

I thought that my days of asking for my yellow Pudsey Bear down from the top of the wardrobe, adjusting his polka dot eye patch and propping him up next to me on the sofa for Children In Need night were long gone.. but I may just have to rethink my interest in him.
This year Children In Need have invited a handful of designers including Giles Deacon and Henry Holland to have their creative way with Pudsey in a special fashion takeover which will see them surely reach impressive figures at auction. The Katie Hillier and Liberty makeovers are especially cute, Pudsey’s in no real danger of losing his current identity though.

Movember, formerly know as November, is upon us. A month in which men across the land sign up their clean shaven faces to become Moustache bearers in order to raise vital funds and awareness for men’s health, specifically prostate cancer and other cancers that affect men.
I might not be able to join in the actual facial fuzz fun but there’s ways to show a little support …

It probably started with wearing one of his Ralph Lauren jumpers as an oversized style with skinny jeans, or a strut about in his crisp white shirt over lingerie… but then without realising you’ve moved on to having your own boyfriend fit blazer and brogue style flats are your everyday choice… against all traditions there’s all of a sudden a taste for traditional masculine tailoring and it turns out there’s no longer and unwritten rule that says you have to look ladylike.
‘Boyish’ has subtly crept up on us with brogues taking the place of ballet pumps, and chino’s and blazers becoming summer’11 staples, but up until now almost always incorporating a feminine touch in a neutral shade or with soft detail.
Well we aren’t flirting around the idea anymore, more of us are looking for exaggerated tailored structure and are, god forbid, sporting more than one menswear inspired piece at one time. Take a hint of rebellion, a sprinkle of high fashion and lashings of that ‘I wear it better than him’ confidence and we have our growing troupe of androgynously styled ladies.
Spring/Summer’11 looks from Joseph and Jaeger both featured tailored, double breast monotone jacket styles with sleek and simple silhouettes. While Paul Smith played about with splashes colour but kept the male domination feel with high-buttoned shirts and un-darted pants.
