6 Items Challenge

Blog hoping I found this: http://thesixitemschallenge.wordpress.com/the-blog/

Participents wear only 6 items of clothing for a month, accesories are not included in this.

Looking through the blog, its fantastic to see people wearing clothing in ways that they were never intended to be worn or in unusual combinations see the jumper skirt below.

It also got me thinking to wether I could achive this myself. Half of me thinks it would be a breeze, and the other half not. As a teacher I would find it hard, not the actual wearing of six items of clothes but pupil reaction to my what they would deem odd behaviour.

I have had a similar disscusion with a friend about armpit hair. If you care to know I shave while during term time and leave it during holidays, again this is down to outside perception mainly from female pupils in my classes.

Greetings From Becons.......Inspiration

Autumn Couture

Couture I feel is treading the line between farcical floor length sequin ball gowns and cutting edge cutting and styling. So few designers can afford to produce a Couture collection and even fewer people across the globe can afford to splash the cash on one of these fantasy creations and that's where the problem for me lies. Hours of work, hundreds of pounds, meters of silks and velvets never to be worn again. A show case of vulgarity? Perhaps. Yet here I am. In awe and wonder I look through this years Autumn Couture pictures. I'm envious of the models and the designers. More so the designers, they have the opportunity to create the fantasy princess wardrobe. Because let's face it that's what this is and I can't make my mind up whether that's acceptable.

Armani Privé

Elegant evening wear, Soon to be spotted on red carpets around the world. Its whats expected of Armani Privé and they deliver over and over. The beautiful twilight atmosphere of the colours and show really accent the fabrics and trims used in the collection, light reflecting to catch the last of the days rays or to mimic starlight? I especially loved the use of two models to walk the catwalk in complementing outfits, the pale shell pink and blue suits are a favourite.

Beautiful Hair

Summer Project

Having finished my PGCE course I'm now at a loose end. Time for some summer projects I think, for awhile now I have wanted to hand sew an entire garment. I have a tunic of my grandmothers that has some fantastic hand embroidered flowers on the left corner, but alas my decorative stitches are not up to scratch.

Here then is the first summer project, a second hand pattern from my local Oxfam shop. I like the look of the straight skirt and boxed cropped tunic. Next step is to choose from my extensive range of fabric, could be difficult.

Women of Style

Lady Love...

I either want to be this woman, or be in love with her! Her hair is just beautiful and the colours in this picture are just fantastic. Im trying at the moment to find a dress similar to the ones they used in the Frida film, especially the ble one but im failing. So instead I've painted my nails the blue colour of her house.

I wish I was older than I am...

I encourage you to all watch Pear Jam Twenty, even if its for Chris Cornell's beautiful hair.

Dan Eldon

While trawling the internet, among the facebook stalking and Harry Potter geekery that generally takes place between the hours of 12 and 4 on a nightshift, I went and had a look at the new TOMS summer collection, their shoes are perhaps the most comfortable I have ever tried on. The new range is based on this man, Dan Eldon.

December Vogue

December Vogue is by far my favorite, Christmas party dresses, impossibley glittering snow, fantastical photo shoots.

Emma Watson though?

£4.00 might push me to only ever buying the december issue!

This winter I will mostly be wearing..........

Obviously it won't be the Louis Vouitton pictured above, more like second hand mix and match. I knew there was a reson I kept all my corsets and now I can wear them all again and not just on Halloween.

The only gold jewellry I would choose to own....

Pen's Are Friends

This evening I have been at St Gemma's Hospice charity fashion show and I found this lovely company www.zincwhite.co.uk they make jewellery from crayons and old type writers.
Obviously I bought two hair clips that look like this, very pleased.

Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months........

I have always loved No doubt and their lead singer Gwen Stefani so there's no surprise in me liking her L.A.M.B label. Unlike Mrs Beckham, Gwen Stefani has her own intrinsic style and this shows through in her Spring/Summer looks, bright bold and beautiful!

Erdem can do no wrong as far as I am concerned, their prints are beautiful and the use of patchwork is something I'd like to see more of.

Beautiful Simplicity is what is expected of Helmut Lang and this season they don't disappoint, the pale palette is set off by the one blood red dress, stunning.
