Fur shawl

Fur, Fur, Fur!

There is no better way to chic  up your wardrobe than adding some soft and silky fur. Now I am not saying it has to be real... Oh no! Nobody wants to be wearing thumper or bambi but faux fur is just as good! I do not know about you but whenever I see an image of a red fox gliding through the forest at night with the midnight moon shining on its back reflecting off that gorgeous ginger fur I think wow I wish that I could pull off that style as well! What if I told you that I could and not just me but you too? My idea is as followed... take a trip to the nearest craft shop whether it be hobby craft or fabric land and buy some lovely faux fur that has been dyed perfectly in all different vibrant and toned colours.  Next find some fabric glue and rummage through that cupboard of yours until you get right to the back and discover the cardigan that has been untouched for months. Well from here on it is easy... well kind of easy...all you need to do is create a neat line around the neck of the cardigan with a pencil or washable ink pen, lay down the fabric glue, stick that beautiful fur on top of it and bingo! You have yourself a cardigan that will probably be worth 10x more than what you first brought it for and not only that, Dior and Channel will be begging you to make more! I love fur, I love everything about it. The feel, the look, the fact that it can make any piece of clothing look so much more expensive and of high quality even though you have just brought it off the high street! Fabulous fur will always be welcome in my wardrobe!

Turtleneck from Primarni

The life and love of the turtleneck

The life and love of the turtleneck

 

 

Turtleneck, roll neck, polo neck, whatever you decide to call it, the timeless essential of this folded collar has returned. Let me take you back to imagine a young woman or man in the 15th century rolling around in the depths of Asia, spotting a turtle and thinking "Wow that neck is something, the way it comes out of that shell, just wow, I am going to recreate that and then maybe Edward IV will notice me when my carriage takes me back to England." (That probably didn't happen but considering the turtle neck came into style in the 15h century I thought why not?) Using a turtle as inspiration for an item of clothing seems to be unheard of but do remember that animals are a key feature in the designing world. I mean you cannot tell me that no one has ever seen Michael Kors or Ralph Lauren walking around New York zoo? Well if they haven't maybe they should give it a go! If you have not wore a turtle neck this Winter then you are truly missing out. It is like a scarf and a top in one! Can you ask for more? With the likes of high street stores such as Primark selling these marvellous creations it is not difficult to find one. This roll neck top really is one of the comfiest fashion statements out there, especially if you find a polo neck knitted jumper, now that is a treat! I doubt that this item will ever truly leave the fashion world behind. It seems to keep making an endless comeback, in the 60's the turtleneck was a huge craze. In fact 60's fashion has been very much cooperated into the 21st century, I mean how could you not?! It is merely impossible to forget that your collar MUST be folded, or else you do not seem to be following the ULTIMATE trend that Marks and Sparks has not stopped producing since the 1800's (Now that is something!)So now I must tell you that if you have not owned one of these everlasting top's then go buy yourself one now, if it is only from Primarni, please do, because let me tell you when we reach 2150 they will still be the height of the craze, yes even then. The timeless turtleneck, need I say more?

Kate Spade- The handbag of dreams

Once upon a time a woman was walking down the street when a handbag fell into her hands, she asked herself was this handbag sent from God or was it a mere coincidence that this spectacular piece of bright fuchsia leather came across her path. Well a little birdie told her that this handbag was not made by Jesus' own carpenter hands, oh no, but it was a Kate Spade original from none other city than the city of dreams. Let me tell you this bag contained dreams alright, dreams of one day having enough dosh to have the wardrobe that Kate Moss would kill for. Dreams of being a style icon. Dreams of going to the BIG CITY. I hear you ask what did the woman do with the bag? Well I can assure you that she did not let it go that easily (I mean who would?). Once she held this bag the way she viewed her life ambitions changed. Her plain black handbag from New Look's high street store was just not the same anymore, her baby blue bag from Select could not compete on any level and her leopard print Pauls Boutique... well theres no need to explain that one any further. The woman suddenly had a strut in her walk, a spark in her eye and a bright coral tint to her lips. Can a handbag really do all this to one person's life? Yes, sure, well the right one can. This bright pink handbag, (KATE SPADE) handbag created a whole new identity for this one individual, she viewed herself differently, passers on the street viewed her differently, the handbag made this happen. Kate Spade, the handbag queen, makes these bundles of joy to do exactly this. She worships each bag made which then creates a falling domino affect to the rest of the human race. The colours, the design, the finish all wonderful, all beautiful, all magnificent. If you want a handbag to change your life then this is the one. Take control of your true identity, your future and your existence on this earth. I know you may think I am over emphasising this story, that I may be exaggerating Kate Spade's magic but truthfully these handbags are one of a kind, each glance you take of them makes you want more and more. So go for it take the Spade and dig up your new fashionable future.
