Denim Dilemmas?

I've quickly put some looks together all revolving around this summers key piece - the frayed acid wash denim hotpants!
Look 1
Blazer, Eifel Tower Crop top, multirow gold necklace, platform heels, gold wing belt
Casual/Evening
The high waist from the hotpants and the crop top shows enough stomach without being distasteful and for those who aren't one for flashing! The blazer gives the outfit smarter definitions whilst the skyscraper heels will give you legs like elevens!
Add gold accessories which will compliment the blue tones to the outfit, and not to mention tone UP the bling bling.


Look 2
Straw hat, bustier corset top, turquoise platform, white studded belt
Evening/Beach
The fitted floral top will show off your figure perfectly with the shorts, wear tucked in with waist belt around waistband for a night time look with killer heels!!
Add floppy beach hat to accessorise for pool-side chic!


Look 3
Daytime/Beach
The baggy vest in 80s fluro style goes perfectly with this holiday staple piece. Add the Green and Gold belt to ultimise the clashing colours!!
The heart shaped glasses adds more retro to this look and statement fringed sandals create an overall 80s outfit your mothers would be proud of.

Friendly Feline Faces...

We all know the 80s is back in a big way but enter the return of the NOVELTY SWEATSHIRTS!!




The animal sweater has made a comeback for autumn/winter and roared the runway with graphic patterns at Eley Kishimoto, Jean-Charles de Castelbajac, Furry with Miss sixty, Paul+Joe, Zero +Maria Cornejo and my personal favourite Sparkly sequined version via Manish Arora....

For more than 20 years Mariuccia Mandelli designed for Krizia. Each year she featured a different animal in her collection and 1981 was the year of the cat!




Will you adopt the face on shirt look?

Nike and Nylon Collaboration...

Nylon Magazine and Nike Sportswear have collaborated together to make a collection of 'kicks'. They come in a selection of Day-Glo colours and feature the nylon magazine logo on the nylon tongue of the trainers!

In the Nylon Magazine May 2009 issue they are showcasing the collaboration with a photoshoot involving Peaches Geldof, Goldierocks and more of the nylon family!!!
