Polyvore

I'm still trying to get my head around combining certain tops with pants etc. For now I'm playing it safe and I am soo hooked on this website! It's so much fun haha.

Sly

One of my favourite things to do is to check out Japanese fashion. It's so uninhibited and sometimes left field that if you were to wear it in a different country you'd look a tad special.

But when you look at how it's co-ordinated it's so freaking awesome. Someone need to open a Sly boutique here. I wouldn't wear the whole collection together but there are certain pieces that I really like.. have a look www.sly.jp and click on coordinate. Another site which I like to look at mainly because the model is stunning as is www.lenalenalena.net

I want to go backkkk. Badlyyy :(

Jumpsuits

This trend should have died last year but instead I still really like it. I'm totally sensing a delayed reaction to what should have done its time in my wardrobe. But I think this is an easy thing to throw on and dress up or down for night play or day time fun. It's chic and easy with the only downfall being you have to take the whole thing off to take a leak. That's the last thing you want to do when you're out having bubbly and you have to piss. This is why women take forever in the bathroom and it's convenient to have another friend in case you're too wasted to do it up yourself.



Honestly that has to be one of my biggest pet hates when it comes to the design of good looking apparel ... there's always a catch to it. WHY?

BTW follow me on lookbook.nu I will be posting looks soon, I've been saying that for a year but it should be different this time round haha

Tights

Unless the denim is cut loose I am not really a huge fan of wearing pants. I think part of the reason is I've successfully managed to gain an excess amount of weight which I can't shake regardless of how much I exercise. I think I am destined for a life of gluttony and while I don't really like being heavier I am quite lazy and I cbf getting rid of it.

Whatevs I've improvised anyway and have turned to tights as pants instead of wearing real pants and the beauty of this is that it holds you in without feeling too tight (god bless lycra) and given the different styles of tights available you really can't go wrong.

I'm a fan of the shiny tights. It makes me feel like I'm dressing up even when I've only got shiny lycra on. YEAH! it's so good for casual wear as well as night wear. See below




Day option


Night option

I think I have a thing for black.

Boyfriend Jeans

Call me 5 years too late but the best jeans are a guy's jeans. If you're in a relationship I would be maximising it by stealing your boyfriend's clothes. Everything that looks cute on him would look 10 times cuter on you because you can roll it up and make it a smaller version! That's of course unless you're a big girl... then stealing your man's clothes might not be a smart option hahaha.

I am obsessed with the jeans because they look amazing teamed with a body suit, slung low and rolled at the bottom. Yeah late I know but still it looks so flattering. People claim that if you have a boyish figure that it's not as flattering or if you're too skinny but they're just retarded because all you have to figure is the top half. There are little things you can do to create an illusion of a waist. For example in winter if you wanted to pull the look you would team it with a cropped fitted jacket (refer to picture below on the RHS not LH - that one should be how not to wear the jeans.) and a scarf. I like that look, I think it looks messy but in a good way. Like you threw everything together without thinking but it still looks good.




LOVVE the look, I'm a bit delayed but hey I think it's understated sexy.
