Smarty Boots

Today, I dressed smart. However, I still kept parts of my 'style' using checks, tweeds, black lace, bits of fake snakeskin and gold. Oh and but I had my neon Marc Jacobs bag too lol....! It was different but fun! I didn't know this outfit was hiding in my suitcase of 'give-aways' to my younger friends. Looks like I'm not giving this away after all haha!

The boots I'm wearing [and trying my hardest to get in the shot :S] have a crazy story behind them - long story short, I had Rachie-Pie and her sister stalking these Kurt Geiger boots for me while I was at work on the day they went on sale lol! And with their team effort, I was able to get them....gold chains intact [one KG store tried to sell pair of boots WITHOUT the set of chains!?!?].

LOL someone got a horse at their Sweet Sixteen and one of the party-goers said, 'She needs to throw some D's on'a pony!' HAHA!!

Wishlist: Jean-Charles De Castelbajac Jewelled Beauties...

I L-O-V-E Beyonce's whole 'Telephone' look, pictured above, from Jean-Charles De Castelbajac's Spring/Summer 2010 collection. I think I would love it even more in my closet...





All these multi-coloured jewels have reminded me of something.....maybe I should go and see if H&M are still selling these...

RIP: Alexander McQueen

Sadly, Alexander McQueen, passed away this morning at his home in London a few days prior to London Fashion week in what may have been a suicide. Although the news is sad, his designs will always be remembered amongst the fashion and art world....

British Hustle: Question

My friend and one of my many mentors, Mr Nicholas Adams, [a lot of people feel the need to constantly shout at me 'GET YOUR ASS OUT THERE AND STOP BEING SHY!'], does a lot. Whilst studying AND training for the olympics as an athlete [see I told you- A LOT] he and a friend, Ade, started their own clothing label, Question. I have already worn one of their tees to death among many other people [I'm still waiting on that replacement tee dude - gotta keep it fresh mayne!] and I know he has many other projects coming soon so I will definitely be posting the details of that soon.

In the meantime, here are some photos Mr Adams, himself, in the 'lab' and a photo of me wearing the tee in Question [notice what I did there...smart eh? Lol!] whilst dancing on a table....I was tryna promote the tee, I swear it lol!
