Just admit it, you're fashionably gay

It's true, that women dress for other women. 20% of the time it's for men (on occasion). When a woman gets dressed she always wonders what other people(uhm women) will think of what she's wearing and how she looks on the whole. Admit it, the female species care what others think and enjoy mentally sizing up, comparing, what ever you want to call it. Look at red carpet events, it's the women who dress to the tee, and men too, but more so the women. Then you have tv shows like "fashion police" on E!Entertainment who crit what the galz of tinseltown wear. It's obvious: Fashion was created for women to hate that they love other women's clothes. The irony of it all is that Fashion Forerunners were men: Giorgio Armani, Marc Jacobs, Dolce and Gabbanna, Balenciaga...

When people laugh at other's who dress "different" I think to myself: "Do you realise that you're actually the stupid one, because you're laughing at someone expressing their individuality while you too caught up trying to be like someone else." Instead i laugh at those who have it all wrong.

I admire people being different and just themselves, especially through their dress sense. So often I want to go up to them and say something at the risk of seeming forward and sometimes I do but most of the time I hold back...but it's a new year, everywhere I go, my camera follows. I will be getting streetwise with street style this fashion year.

I'm absolutely loving maxi dresses and skirts paired with chunky platform heels aswell as tight high waist skirts and vests tucked in. flowy little dresses and lace numbers, preferrably short have my heart.

call me Gypsy

I'm not too sure but it is a gypsy who looks into a christal ball and tells your fortune, right? Well, call me a gypsy then. I've been having premonitions about the fashion year: 2011. The year inbetween the 'hit' year-2010 and the "end of the world" year-2012.

Every day I have been having a vision about wich trends will be repeating itself in 2011. This strikes me as strange, being an average fashionista-small-town-girl, I mean, you probabaly thinking who am I to dictate what trends will cast in 2011, but then again, I'm anything but average-though being from a small town, I have a huge heart and upsize of that imagination like you can't imagine. haha.

So here goes my list of fashion predictions for 2011:

polkadots

cats eye glasses

dungarees

eastern couture

frills/venetian style

Big hair, waves and middle paths

wide leg pants

wedge heels...and

ballet pumps (again, bleh)


p.s, my predictions could be right or wrong...it doesn't really matter, all I really care about 2011 fashion is that us fashionistas have something (super) decent to wear that suits and that when other's look at us they'd be like, "I can't imagine myself wearing that but she looks great in it"







beeeeg hair

I love the way we lie

Today I feel like shit and my heart's breaking just a little bit. Let me rephrase that, today i look like shit and my heart's breaking just a little bit. I'll never understand why, when You feel down,you dress down (or perhaps thats just me).I've been lied to in the same breath as well, "you so good to me"...you don't do that, it's just not right.

It's been a rather quiet day, except for my heart wailing. I'm feeling somewhat frastrated like a girl in a box, yeah, that's a perfect way to describe what I feel like...I think I need a sewing machine to relieve myself of the world and it's stress, note-not my stress-the world's stress.

But, have no fear, fashion is here to console;)

Just Because...

I am a "just because" kind of girl. Sometimes I do things, well...just because. Don't get me wrong, I do believe in doing things within reason each and every time but i have those odd moments where I feel like doing things for the f## of it. So how does this relate to fashion in any sense, well, my message is simple: when you feel like whatever it is that u feeling like wearing, just go with it.your heart never lies.You never know who might fall inlove with your outfit that day :)

I heart it all

As I write this, I sit and think about my favorite things and they all seem to be "collective". My shoe collection, bag collection and magazine collection spring to mind and I think that (besides my photo albums, ID book and blue-eyed niece)those three things and my niece above all, would probably be the first I save from a fire.

I love collecting stuff but it's starting to catch up with me since i Haven't any more space left in my room...and i am only due to moving to a bigger room when my brother decides to move out (in time). The point I am getting at is this: It's okay to collect stuff if you have the space for it and the time to get round to reading every magazine and wear every shoe or clothing. But all girls can account for this-when we love something, we love it and no one dares to change our mind about...if only someone could when it comes to the wrong choice in men but that's a story for another blog.

I try my best to clear my cupboard of unwanted items (of which i sometimes "wish back")and give to girls less fortunate than me. It's so fulfilling.

Had so much fun on the weekend with my favorite friend, Shauna (a.k.a by me as 'Shaunaloo' =)). Had my first illegal mini road trip with her to KFC all in the name of hotwings and ice cream. Needless to say we (both)made it home in one piece despite the rain, a learner driver (me) and men in black stalking my window just to say HI, I mean dounle yoo tee eff? 


I absolutely love this ensemble below, it's a stunner. I would stop this girl and tell her just what i think of her =)

 Beloved brasier tops are on my birthday wish list. They are classic, can be dressed up or down and sexy, fullstop. These look best on girls who have some womenly bits but be warned, they do fit tight.



Ill be wearing mine (below) with highwaist whatever and it really looks good with pencil skirts or harems

                                                            Traffic stopper outfit...love it!








I didn't go to church in this, slept in it instead. I'm odd, I know






I bought this vest over the weekend. I love crisp white vests and I would probably not stop buying them even though they're just white. I decided to sew this denim cut-out heart onto it (looking at this makes me reakise how badly I need a sewing machine and sewing classes eeek )

I love how this white vest compliments my boyfriend jeans.
(I am wearing this today)
