A Week of Outfits: Day 1

Not quite Face Hunter Standard, but we try. Me and Pamela are going to photograph our college outfits everyday this week as we have noticed there aren't many photos of clothes that actually belong to us. We aim to remedy this. Hence A Week of Outfits begins. And day 1 is as follows:


PamelaBoots - Zara, Legginngs - Miss Selfridge, Skirt - George at Asda (heck yes), Shirt - Vintage, Belt - Primark, Jacket - Topshop.

Susan
Shoes - MK One (Oh My), Jeans - Zara, blue dress - h&m, green skirt - h&m, Belt - Vintage, floral blouse - h&m, green tshirt - Topshop, necklace - Debenhams perhaps.

Yes that is a garage door. Classy.

Harry Potter + Fingers = Fun Fun Fun!

Everyone has most likely seen this but please take 2 minutes of your time to appreciate the profound effects JK Rowling has had on the world of finger puppetry.

In all honesty it creates quite a lovely melody.

No denying it this is a good video.

Sincere apologies for the horrible title of this post my brain is squashed with facts about Mussolini and Liberal Italy so when it comes to other topics crap just spills out of my brain. Like that whole sentence in fact.

Anyhow, this is the Sugababes new video. It is pretty, like a montage of fancy photo shoots. I need a short pink wig and a tiny crown.

Yeah I've got a sock on my head. What of it?

I fear the Topshop website has become my second home. As a mere pauper on the fashion chain I cannot hope to afford anything other than sale prices but it can't hurt to look.
Well actually it can. This goes on your head. Yes. Quite.I'm strangely drawn to it but I know it will show of the shape of my skull which is never an incentive to buy anything. I will tell you what I do Love though. All of the below:
Much in the vein of my previous post I need a skirt like all of these but as the prices start at £18 for the top left one I plan to make my own. This may never come to fruition, like the time I was going to make my prom dress and when I was going to set up an ebay business, buying white skinny jeans and dying them to sell for a mighty profit. But I want to tie dye a skirt so in my mind, that's one step on the ladder of achievement.

This year I will mostly be wearing....

Anything that remotely resembles anything here. I'm going to look like some kind of feathery circus pirate. Well it can't be helped, the heart wants what it wants.Stuff like this but a lot cheaper. If it were to cross my path I would not ever say no you know.
I'm very much liking this whole neo-hippy, boho-tec, whatever hyphenated word you wish to apply, business. Its kind of girly but you still maintain the agression of the s&m trend of last season. Well that's what I'm saying anyway. I just hope to gosh and heck that primark doesn't have another influx of pattern mania again, it gave me a frickin headace you know. Some nice florals and some kind of military item would be lovely. Oh Agyness why do you grimace so?

YumYums

It's nice to admire.
Apologies for the size of the picture and for the quality of the montage i have no talent at this sort of thing.
i seem to spend most of my time wishing i had everything-how depressing! My bank balance certainly cannot handle the matchesfashion.co.uk prices and now that they're selling Matthew Williamson S/S '08 collection it makes me want to cry! Perhaps my New Years resolution should be to do something about this dilemma. 'What a good idea' I say. Getting a job would be a good start i'm guessing.
Merry New Year to all!!

Silly Silly Topshop

It really is just my luck, things never happen conveniently for me and on the VERY rare occasion that they do i literally praise the lord and i'm not even religious, for example when walking to a zebra crossing and the green man appears instead of the red the praying begins. At the time of my prom no such convenience came about, my dress was too small so my grandma had to readjust the seems - oh what a nightmare! Although the main dilemma was finding a fabulously multi-coloured necklace to brighten up my monochrome dress, i hunted high and low i did, from manchester to huddersfield and meadowhall to leeds just to find the perfect necklace. Nothing became of my search - until almost a year later whence i stubbled upon this mighty delight! It does not seem all that wonderful but it truly would have looked splendid with my prom dress, but no no topshop go and invent it about a year after it could have fulfilled its true purpose in life and most impotantly when i cannot afford it. It costs £10, but that is ten pounds i desperately need. Silly Silly Topshop.

Shake Your Tambourine

Err yeah. I'm probably behind most of the world but I have only just seen this video. I like it. It all jumpy and colourful and stuff.Both Pamela and I have very varied music tastes and I happen to have a bit of a penchant for rap. I liked Eve as a young one, but I have since moved on. The actual song is not splendid, but maybe it's a grower. She is wearing Christopher Kane!!! and many shiny leggings pop u now and then. I rather think Ms Stefani has been a positive influence on Eve, though the whole maid scene at the beginning is all too familiar of the, admittedly interesting, but altogether frickin annoying, harajuku girls. I need a party like the one at the end. Though maybe tone down the grindin'

The season of the Clothes show is upon us and what to wear is our dilemma. This wouldn't trouble most people but we are extremely fashion conscious folk and are having mini stresses. So please help, please do. These are the options:

1. Pamela in the sexy country

2 Susan in pattern prolific

3. Susan in waisted

4. Susan in secretary chic:

5. Pamela in monochrome superhero

6. Pamela in stripy ho

7. Susan in fools gold


Please help and suggest some possibilities. Highly Appreciated! Cheearz!

Confuse-ed.

Once upon a time not too long ago i was flicking through some music channels whence i stumbled upon this, at this point i would usually describe said video, but i'm absolutely lost for words. My ability to form an opinion has totally abandoned me. I understand and appreciate that they are trying to be 'arty' but i don't even know if that has worked. Ich bin confused i certainly don't like it, in fact it kind of creeps me out as at one point she humps a giant teddy, but i wouldn't be as definite as to say i hate it. Oh this is Robyn's video for Handle Me by the way.
This dress really reminds me of Lily Allens noddy dress and hate to admit it as i do not like Lily Allen but hers is a lot nicer.

Is this an actual hotdog suit in the style of The Queen of Heart's Guard's outfits in Alice in Wonderland?

The shoes are oreet as is the giant box, thats all i can say.

Yeah...... Again words have failed me.

On a totally different note:

Sparkly Wonders!

I have fallen deeply for this Ashish Skirt and this Topshop Corset Top. I go weak at the knees as i swoon over these. I even emit poetry at the sight of them, apparently.
