Is shock enjoyable?

Went the cinema last night to catch the first viewing of 'Precious' and am completetly undecided whether I enjoyed it or not. It was shocking to say the least but I am definately not in a hurry to watch it again. I don't think the movie is supposed to be 'enjoyable' but to get a point across, which it certainly did. I don't want to give the storyline away too much, but aspects of it although slightly humourous were completely heart shattering at the same time.
If you are going to see it, be prepared!

See right through me... err no thanks.

I've been flicking through february's Vogue and Elle magazines and there is a trend that is somewhat 'flashing' a huge red light at me. The transparent PVC look... Fendi's plexiglass clutch although a nice idea, no one wants to see the short stub of a eyeliner you have left or the tampon floating around your bag. Prada's perspex and velcro heels featured in Feb's Elle pg.75 just don't scream elegance to me either. This trend is slowly forming a relationship with clothes too, Dita von Teese sporting a very 'teesing' outfit this week with transparent PVC side panels.
Isn't some of the fun of fashion also being able to hide those body parts you aren't too fond of and still look amazing or being able to secretly take your little treasures out with you?
A little has to be left to the imagination.

'Pretend you are on a beach'

Due to the freezing temperatures recently (particularly for us poor students who can't afford extortionate heating bills) we have been wrapping up in any layer we can lay our shivering hands on. The solution, well for me, my friends and our vast imaginations is to imagine we are on a beach under the sweltering heat of that ever so absent sun (I know this is scientifically impossible but you know...) This has lead to me thinking about the coming summer months; bikinis, cover ups, dresses and my favourite foot attire... sandals. Im hoping that the body con trend will transfer to summer and tanned bare legs (goodbye fake bake) will be on show, also I cannot wait to rock those gladiator sandals again.

Come on summer, hurry up.

Fringetastic

Is it me or are drastic haircuts a big deal for girls? Anyway took a brave plunge yesterday and went for a full fringe. I'm giving it a few days to grow on me though. Excuse the pun.

'notice me' dress.

More like Notice me Progress dress. Haven't been able to find any fabric that I like yet for this creation. Fingers crossed it will be finished by the end of the season!
