A special message from Mary Kate



Found this on Youtube and its worth a peek if you're in the mood for a little giggle. It was filmed in response to a message to "MK" from "Paris Hilton".

The resemblance is pretty close though? Apart from the fact this girl is probably about 6 stone heavier than the real Ms Olsen.

Newsflash!

Wait, could Victoria have actually taken a step in the right direction?

Surely not? But I think she has actually pulled it off! Apart from maybe the rest fo her outfit. She seems to think that just because shes wearing an idenikit outfit of something Kate Moss wore, that its guaranteed to make her look like a fashion icon.

I love her, but my god, shes trying too hard!

But at least she did good taking a leaf out of the MariaCarla-Selma Twin Book.

Its not often I say this, but now could she just get herself a stylist?

Mad about the Boy

Man!
Why is menswear so great at the moment? It adds a whole new meaning to the word androgenous! Forget dressing like a boy, I want to be a boy! Here are my top picks..


PS, Check it out! Viktor and Rolf modeled their Autumn show themselves. Still can't work out how they got changed quick enough, though?...

Pop Art, kitsch colours and icon badges get together to create some Cartoon chic.

The first kind of reminds me of the Giles D furry hat dress, but obviously about 3x smaller!
But loving the Dandy Glitz.

More on it's way...

Shoe you think I'm Sexy?

Perez says No! No!, I say Yes! Yes... and You?

Fantastic shoes, just a shame about their owner.

They're so great, they look like something you could pick up from a dodgy market stall, but at the same time, could have been paraded down the most prestigious of runways.

I'm guessing it's the latter.

Anyone know whose work of art they are?

NOTE: You never know, these are the kind of shoes I could change my mind about very quickly, so this post may be deleted eithin a couple of days. Ha...

It's starting!

It's starting! Pop star Sophie Ellis Bextor took a leaf out of Sienna's book last night when she made an appearance at G-A-Y in London last night in a a pair of glitzy Chanel pants! Channelling a Madonna meets Dorothy look in a red leotard and matching red slipper heels.

I like the fact that Sophie braved the look, although I don't think she pulled it off quite as well as Ms Miller (Though that would have been quite an accomplishment!)

Whos going to be next to jump on the bandwagon? I'm feeling the LA It Clan? Lindsay and Nicole, and maybe even the Olsens worn with their fur! I can't wait to see how this look translates onto the High Streets. Hahaha...

The new frenzy has Karl Lagerfeld and Miuccia Prada to thank. Wonder what they think of the coverage?

Pop is my hot hot sex

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
In the words of Cansei de ser Sexy, "Music Pop is my hot hot sex"

The way I see it as that the generation of magazines that include Dazed and Confused, i-D, POP! and NYLON is like the modern day magazine version of the Bronte family! They're influential, eyecatching and well, very "family" feeling.

And although many of these glossies have been in circulation for as long as I've been alive, it seems to me that its only now that they're finally being recognised as the cooler, cheekier, more fun and more youthful alternative to the likes of Vogue, Harpers etc.

Don't get me wrong, I'm an avid reader of Vogue but I find it easy to become disillusioned by the fact that its a little unaccessable and seems to carry a policy of only featuring the richest and most privelaged women in their interviews. I can't imagine Alexandra Shulman or Wintour doing a shoot of Courtney Love nude or featuring an interview with Miss Piggy...

Praise POP!

EDIT: As regards the homemade moontage at the top, sorry about the bad quality...I'm working on it!

The end of an era: When Trailer Trash Chic turned V for Vendetta.

It seems that Britney has finally hit rock bottom!

We've all been watching her party with Paris and co, but I really didn't think it would get this bad. I feel bad for Britney, because I think she'll figure out during this that Paris isn't the friend she thought she was. I can't imagine her being there to support her, infact I can imagine her just laughing about the whole thing.

In a moment of self destruction she shaved all her hair off saying "I don't want anyone touching me. I'm tired of everybody touching me"

Britney was spotted in a tattoo parlour afterwards, getting a pair of lips inked onto her right wrist.

I feel very sorry for Britney indeed! One word pops to mind: Rehab.

Extreme Makeover?

Having spent a while trying to get my head around the updated blogger (I'd been putting it off for a while!) I've just updated the Discotheque Confusion page.

Wanted to know what you all think, as I'm still not sure and I think I'll have to resign myself to the fact that its a work in progress!

So any thoughts on the colour scheme? The swap from the spotted background to the plain one?

I'd appriciate any feedback!

Hope you're all well, S xx

It's gettin hot in herrrre!

For me, this whole picture was a learning curve.

Street Style Bitch!

First of all, apologies to these two girls for not having posted this sooner....

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

I came across these two "pretties" in my local topshop, and loved their looks, and, excuse the cheese, their lovely smiles! Both quite different, but equally interesing.

In the haste of the moment, I forgot to ask their names, so lets have a bit of fun and think of them as Miss X (left) and Miss Z (right)!

Miss X reworks classroom chic by pairing a modern pinafore style dress with a cute cropped plaid coat. For a wintery air, she does Zooey Deschanel proud in a pair of opaques.

I like the way Miss Z supersizes her portions with an oversized v neck, and looks effortless in the process! Playing mermaids with a shell necklace is a good way to add a bit of seaside nostalgia, and dream about summer coming back!

Opinions?
