NEW YEARS

For new years eve I went out in East London to a place called pony step with my sister and some of her friends from CSM, a lot of people who are in the fashion business often party with pony step so I thought it would be a good thing to experience. It wasn't exactly my scene but the place was most certainly filled with interesting people. As well as A LOT of trannys, the theme was 'a white wedding' so I can imagine they enjoyed dressing themselves up as brides! I took a few pictures which I'll post below. I'm sorry but my outfit is actually quite boring because I only found out there was a theme the night before so i just decided to wear black lacy things!

above: the outfit I wore, white tank top from asos, black corset bra urban outfitters, shiny leggings then black lace leggings ontop of them from topshop, black sequin headband from urban outfitters and nine west heels.

Oh and I almost forgot to tell you while I was in London I saw Kate Moss while I was shopping in Portabello road, she obvioulsy didn't want to be seen as it was about 5.30 as which point is was pretty dark and she was wearing sunglasses! As well as Kate I was partying with Gareth Pugh at pony step... he was with his boyfriend most of the night. I should have snapped a few pictures of him but i only got one of his boyfriend, who was wearing a t-shirt saying F**k off! Anyway here are some pictures of his spring 2009 collection.

South Kensington

So i'm now up in London most weekend because we recently got a flat in south Kensington, where my sister lives and has only today started central St Martins art college... which is where i would like to go when i leave school! She asked me to dress up in outfits so she could take polaroids for her art here are 4 of them. This is her style of dressing and as you can see she is very into vintage clothing.

Stealing the sole of a dress

I recently found this photographer/model by the name Elle Muliarchyk and I absolutly love her work and the way she goes about it, she is so creative. She is able to do the work she does because she is a fearless person. Her work goes a bit like this, she goes into boutiques and high fashion shops all over the world, picks out an outfit usually an amazing and extremely expensive dress! which she pretends to want to buy... goes into the changing rooms sets up her her camera on her tripod and poses in different positions to create a masterpiece. She often takes in bizarre props such as gassmasks and mannequins. Behind each of her photographs there is a story and strong feelings, there is danger in each photograph as she is putting herself in a dangerous situation. She was asked if she had ever stolen anything from the shops she goes to, she replied "no the only thing I steal is the sole of the dress, I enjoy the moment of wearing it and then nolonger need to have it!"

Gothic STUDS

Studs have been all over the catwalks for autumn/winter 08 so I thought i would create a stud page in my sketchbook, as you can see i have stuck pins in the page which seemed to be more difficult to do than I thought it would be!

I'm loving Gucci this season, especially their studded belts and the way they are styling the outfits using multiple belts. They are using different textures such as cord and quite thin seethrough materials on top, and main colours being black, navy blue and gold.

Many celebs such as Ashley Olsen and Nicole Sherzinger have been spotted wearing these studded Louboutin ankle boots. On their own they look extremely Gothic but these celebs have managed to pull them off well.

Mary-kate Olsen has been wearing a large Studded navy blue Jacket by Givenchy, the sleeves may seem a bit too much but for the less daring they have less heavily studded jackets.

I spotted these Bebaroque Brassy Studded Tights which are available to buy from asos and mytights, they cost a staggering £50! And this is for one single pair of tights... I would buy them but just my luck I would get a hole in them and ladder them as soon as i put them on, which would be a disaster! But I do really like them they even have white and gold ones!

Just found a new blog that I love, and I really like the way she has put this outfit together, would never have thought of layering a top like this ontop of a pretty layered skirt. A skirt like this is in my very long list of fashion buys! This picture was supposed to be showing the way you can wear a studded belt, and not look like a goth/emo... but the outfit is just so cute! love the belt I must buy one soon, belts make such a difference to an oufit! As soon as I buy one there will be pictures up. And check out Karla's closet!
