Sports relief

Is it just me of does it feel like 2010's fashion trends are breaking all the traditional rules? First clashing denim (which was crazy enough), but now we have tracksuit bottom chic, a form of trackie b's that you can wear out on a saturday night. 

Although I haven’t invested in a on trend pair yet, I’m loving the fact that track suit bottoms are one again becoming a acceptable form of attire. My grey tracksuit bottoms have long been one of my favourite items of clothing, and the fact you can now wear them out and about just makes me love it even more.

I love. I wil soon be channeling flashdance when I finally get a pair. I plan on teaming mine with my ruffled suede heels and a long sleeve black top, yesss. 

Trackie B's in the office. I've waited a long time for this day.

Double denim

Ok I hated it. I rediculed it but, double denim has done a total 360 for me, and now I can't get enough of it.

Below are some images of the runway which I was rather dubious of originally.

and here I have attached the reality of the way some  fashion mortals have adopted this trend.

(I LOVE the fur gilet mismatch concoction displayed above)

Somehow it works. For me the fact that it was once my pet fashion CARDINAL sin just makes me love it more. It looks like this trend is here to stay for the summer. 2010 is set to be the year of the clash, mitch matchy fashionistas be afraid.

Telephone

 

So its been a while. But I rushed home this afternoon feeling completely inspired after seeing beyonce and Gaga’s video to their new song Telephone. I LOVE it. 

The outfits, the dance moves and the fact Gaga included a clip of someone exclaiming “I told you she doesn’t have a dick” shows she has a sense of humour, and talent.

I want beyonces fringe, Gagas leather jacket, and I just can’t stop watching it. 

Hearts and Flowers

Well. My valentine surprised me last sunday when he showered me with gifts and flowers (he learnt his lesson a couple of years ago that girls are lying when they say "i'm not bothered about valentines day")

I receieved a copy of Coco before Chanel (which was better than i thought it would be) a beautiful bunch of flowers and a three course meal out accompanied by a bottle of champagne. Yum.

Polaroid Pop

The more I look at polaroids, the more I love them. In a generation of photoshop and digital deleting, its too easy to remove a photo which shows your bad/less attractive/unforgiving side. There is something beautiful in the spontaneity of a polaroid. Below I have chosen a few of my favourites.

Alexander the Great

It was hard to comprehend how much of an impact one sole person could make to the fashion industry before Alexander McQueen. Individual, influential and admirable, Fashion has indeed suffered a great loss this afternoon. 

Top Shop SS10 Look Book.

At around 2pm yesterday I felt a twinge of excitement surge through me as the Top Shop SS10 lookbook arrived in my inbox, and I'm pleased to report (as ususal) good things from everyones favorite high street store. It seems according to Sir Philip Green, subtle nudes and pastel prints will be dominate our SS10 Wardrobe. I have picked out some of the looks which got me giddy yesterday afternoon. All I now need is for the sun to start shining...
