Friday, I'm in love...

New York Fashion Week: Jeremy Scott winter/fall 2012 collection

With candy coloured hair, acid green boots, face bling, and a nod to Bart Simpson, Jeremy Scott had heads turning, and turning again, at his recent NYFW catwalk show for his brand new collection.
Feast your eyes on this...

 My favourite look is the black unicorn leotard with the sheer cape (below right), in all seriousness I would rock the shit out of that look! Now, if only I could get my grubby little paws on it...
That multicoloured mohair jacket (below left) is also seriously special, and would feel right at home in my wardrobe!

The reason why Jeremy Scott always seems to get it right is because he is fearless with the conviction of his designs, and more importantly he has FUN with it - fashion is supposed to be fun, and a statement about you. So what if you break the 'rules' or create so magnificent, and crazy that only us whackjobs will wear it proudly. 

This collection is as fantastic, as it is ridiculous, and succeded in getting tongues wagging and heads turning. 

Oversized knitted jumpers with sheer skirts is a total winner in my book - you can't go wrong, plus the slime writing for the 'freak' print is glorious.

Congrats Jeremy, you've done it again. Fan-fucking-tastic. 

Biker Jackets 101

If there is one item that should, not only be a staple, but an absolute must-have in everybody's wardrobe - it is a leather (pleather, duh) jacket. 

As far as my personal prefence goes, the more studs, spikes, and patches the better. Customising your own 'punk' jacket is fun, therapeutic, rewarding, and a billion times cheaper than walking into a shop and paying through the nose for something that someone else has made. 

Customised jackets should be like fingerprints - totally unique to the person wearing them.

Hunt around in your local thrift/charity shops, and you should be able to pick up a plain leather jacket nice & cheap just waiting to be studded and spiked to within an inch of it's life. 
I just picked one up recently for dirt cheap - it's oversized, distressed, and black pleather and I'm planning to add fringing to the sleeve (a la the one below), and cover the back with a giant Slayer or Led Zeppelin patch - I'll keep you posted with progress pics.

Fashion Icon: Audrey Kitching

Confession: I’ve never been a ‘girly girl’ and I often seek fashion inspiration from men - think Axl Rose & Bam Margera - but one girl that nails it every single time & inspires me enormously is Audrey Kitching.

To me, she’s the epitome of modern day femininity! She’s creative, and imaginative with her style - not to mention fearless. She's a total chameleon, and constantly recreating herself, and changing up her style by incorporating different elements, and of course her infamous hairstyles!

Since discovering her a couple of years ago I’ve slowly been working more pastel colours, flowers, and feminine touches into my wardrobe. All made easier by her gorgeous clothing line cocodecoeur.com 

Hair, make up, and clothes should be fun! Despite what people/the media say there are NO rules! It's about experimenting and finding out what's fun, and what works for you - and if that's rainbow and orange lipstick, more power to you!

Audrey, I salute you. 

Fashion Icon: Axl Rose

Here it is, I've finally given into the pressure of starting a fashion blog - eek!
Now, I am by no means a fashion expert, icon, or devotee BUT I know what I like, and I guess it's about time y'all knew what I liked too... So welcome, and enjoy!


Nearly all of my fashion icons are men! Shock! Horror! A woman taking fashion tips from a man - well, when they dress as good as these dudes you can bet your bottom dollar I do...

Mr. Axl Rose
Boy, does this guy know how to dress - whether it's so-tight-they-look-sprayed-on Americana print leggings, big sunglasses, leather jackets or nothing but a tiny pair of demin hotpants he looked sensational!
Sleeveless tank tops are a must in every humans wardrobe! Customise with awesome tats, and a buttloadof chunky, studdy, spikey jewellery and you'll be the coolest guy/gal around. 

My personal favourite thing in the world is skin-tight leather pants/leggings/trousers and I only have Mr. Rose to thank for that. He certainly worked them to within an inch of his crotch/life! 
Pair them with a baggy, off the shoulder, band tee and you will be ready to rock the face off the place.
Hobo chic?! -->

I do love a good hat - beanies are kinda boring and overdone, but throw on an Americana police style hat and you will score some serious cool points a la Mr Guns N' Roses himself.
Ladies, and Gentleman this is a totally unisex look and looks killer no matter where you are or what you're doing - give it a go.

Who needs clothes anyway? The more flesh on show the better!
Only the brave should try this - but I'm pretty sure this a sure fire way to get attention on your next night out in your local bar! Werk it.
