Toodle-loo towering heels.

I think I speak for all women when I say that I am so relieved for mid-height heels to be back in fashion. Now we can dance all night long without the sharp pains in our tootsies. Tall girls can wear heels and not feel too tall, short girls can still get the lift they want, perfecto and painless.

Fashion Maths

Red shoes + Red bag
Brown belt + Brown bracelets
Pink- Red
Brown- Black

All these equations are tediously boring. With the freedom of fashion at our fingertips it is definately about time to mix it up. There are all these rules that your bag should match your shoes, your accessories should match, that similar colours shouldn't be mixed, all rubbish. Of course avoid the jumble sale look, but nowadays it is all about colour blocking, clashing colours and layering of tones. Take for example this season's nude pallet, mix it up with beiges, white, greys, browns and metallics. There is something much more exciting and effortless about the 'I just threw this look together after falling out of bed' look, eventhough deep down you know that you have meticously planned it.

Clash patterns together, layer the african prints with last seasons, but readily available, florals.

Mantra

Summer must haves.

Well things that I so desperately want at my disposal, they have become a must have.

A WHITE BLAZER to wear over pretty summer dresses when the British summer breeze is a bit too much. Also perfect for cross seasons, the monochrome look is always going to be around.

STATEMENT SANDALS in summer I reckon its your feet's turn to talk.

HIP SUNGLASSES accessories that save you time (no eye make up necessary) deserve to be gorgeous!

SIMPLE BEACH COVER-UPS can be teamed with leggings, scarf and hat at other times.

THE PERFECT FIGURE FLATTERING BIKINI

SUMMER TUNES to accompany you on the beach, in the car and in your garden.

Jumpsuit Jargon.

Tried on a jumpsuit yesterday from Henry Hollands new debenhams line, it was black, peg leg and had some lapels at the front. However it has a white ditsy print all over, which I am sure is dead flattering on a 6ft beanpole, but on me I looked like a walking duvet! So first attempt failed, decided to narrow it down to plain (in colour) and peg leg in style, second attempt occuring soon.

Lily.

Going to see Lily and Dizzee tomorrow. This is my favourite song, meant a lot to me at one point.

A Single Man.

Just got back from watching A Single Man, such a stylish movie that I felt underdressed just watching it. Colin Firth, usually a romcom master, thoroughly deserved his BAFTA for his deep portrayal of George Falconer. He captured it perfectly and although the character could be somewhat cold and unnaproachable the audience were warmed to him. Tom Ford created the perfect atmosphere for the audience where they were undecided on whether to relax with George or still have this unbearable anxiety concerning George's plans. Im trying not to give too much away here, so excuse the vague description. The ending (without giving anything away) although sad, was in some way satisfying for the audience knowing that George is at one with himself.
A must see for any Tom Ford fan, like his suits, the film was impeccable, slick and cut to perfection.

Let's take a leaf out of Henry Holland's book.

Many of us are under alot of stress at the moment, with looming deadlines, dissertation topics needing to be decided and exams on the horizon. I think we all need to take a deep sigh and C.T.F.O.
Henry 'the king of the slogan' Holland has an amazing range of T shirts out at the moment, with tongue in cheek but nevertheless wise words emblazoned on them.
Have a look and let me know what you think... comment below ♥

Has women's empowerment left men in the dark?

Just been flicking through this weeks Grazia and a particular article has caught my eye. Menimist's are a new front that is emerging in the battle of the sexes.
 I have recently wrote a Gender and Sexuality essay on how the conceptualisations of masculinty have changed since the 1950's and came across the Men's movement. The Men's movement blame feminist successes and the empowerment of women for the new masculine insecurity that is apparently amongst the male population.
 However menimist's, unlike feminists, do not claim to be repressed they just want to know where they stand in this gender shifting society. Grazia explains that men are now too feeling guilty about not spending enough time with their children, there is a distinct increase in 'moob' plastic surgery and men are too becoming insecure about their bodies in the same way as women have been.
Have a look at the article, its refreshing to hear how the other gender deals with the social and economic changes that we have gone through as women.

Rebellious Religion.

Stuck on outfit possibilities for a christening. In love with the idea of a jumpsuit, but do I have the balls to jump in. Am sick of pretty pretty floaty dresses and feel that my wardrobe needs something, in the words of the awful Tyra, 'fierce'! A jumpsuit may be the perfect option, but lets face it I am not six foot or a built like a bean pole. I am going to go on the hunt for a jumpsuit that will flatter my 5ft 5, very curvy shape and not make me look like a fugitive. I'll keep you posted on my progress. If all else fails the infamous 'notice me dress' production might have to speed it self up pronto. Note to self; find fabric ASAP and at all costs avoid the fugitive look!

Marvellous Memory.

Saw a documentary on this guy a few years back, he has an amazing photographic memory, drawing skylines completely from memory. Look at his website, its mindblowing the detail he can remember.

Steal my Sunshine.

Woke up this morning to beaming sunshine and it makes such a difference. Thought I would share this 90's wonder with you.. Enjoy sunshines.

Hollaaa at me.

So I thought that I would put my obsessive internet browsing/ style hunting to good use. If there are any ensembles, accessories or shoes that you have been looking for for ages or want some ideas and trust my sense of style then holla my way? I can post about what you want and hopefully help your style worries at the same time. Just comment on this post if you are a official follower and if you are an unofficial (I still love you all the same!) follower email me at aimeemeade@sky.com.

High on Hi-Tops?

Who would have thought it possible for trainers to give someone so much ecstasy? My very good friend is possibly the biggest trainer fan and is yet to complete her mission of finding the perfect hi-top! I think she is getting close...
