Where is my other shoe?

Simple shoes, an eco-friendly shoe company emailed me and sent me some shoes.
But this morning at around 8.30am, i was woken up by the delivery and i got all excited, well obviously you would when you know it's shoes!
Only to find a letter telling me inside about the 'where's my shoe competition.'
another fashion blogger has my other shoe and i have theirs!
It made me laugh a lot at first, as it's a really odd but cool idea. Basically Simple Shoes want me to search for the blogger with my other shoe and when i find them, to make friends with them!
Hopefully i can find my perfect match soon, otherwise what shoes am i going to where to clothes show live?!

Military Jacket, a new fashion must-have?


Earlier today i was browsing through some of my old fashion magazines, and i came across this image. An Image of a Balmain Military Jacket. I love them, and i think military is slowly creeping back into fashion. Cheryl Cole starts us off with wearing a military jacket in her video for her first solo single, Fight for this love. Following by her appearances on x-factor and on Children in Need wearing military.


On her first performance as a solo artist on X-factor sporting the military style very well. But my all time favourite military jackets have to be the Balmain and the Balmain inspired jackets!

Ivana Helsinki

I was recently contacted about fashion/art brand, Ivana Helsinki. I saw some of the most stunning dresses i have seen all season. The brand represents a completely new Northern Style called 'Fennolk'.
Paola Ivana Suhonen is the designer behind the fashion pieces, starting from her dark naive mind-landscapes, northen legends and sagas, doing prints, graphics, shortmovies and everything involved with the visuals.
She runs the family-owned company with her older sister Pirijo. The whole production philosophy is based on ethical and ecological choices and there are a lot of handmade details and traditional Finnish handcraft methods are featured.
Here are some photos of the stunning pieces in their latest fashion collection.

The collection focuses on folklore and flirty cotton dresses, trousers and capes and Lapland hand-knitted oversized cardigans and dresses.Autumnal colours and graphics are drawn from dark northern legends and western romantics – whilst more whimsical prints show a slightly more sinister recurring ‘scorpion theme’ on closer inspection.

Ke$ha : style sensation or another sheep?

I was just watching the music channels, and Ke$ha's tik tok was playing. I heard it a few months ago before she tried to make it big in england, and i thought she was pretty amazing. The song tik tok has a lot of catchy lyrics and it's a very upbeat song which you'd dance pretty madly to at a party and have a good time.
This time whilst watching the video i noticed her style, what she's wearing in the video. Her style reminds me of Mary-kate and ashley's grunge look. So what do you all think, is she a new style sensation, or is she another follower of the pack, (what i call a sheep)

TRAIN WRECK #4 : love it or hate it?

I came across Daphne Guiness wearing Alexander Mcqueen's Shoes from his latest collection. Personally I think the look fabulous on the runway, but not to wear out and about.
http://fashion-train.blogspot.com
these shoes are also in Lady Gaga's latest video bad romance. I think they look great there too, because they are costume wearable, not something you'd wear on a day-to-day basis.

Lauren Conrad the top 21st century fashionista?

Lauren Conrad first hit out tv screens in Laguna Beach:the real orange county in 2004. On May 31st 2006 the hills first premiered on MTV. The reality-tv series documents Conrad's move to Los Angeles, her work at Teen Vogue, and her personal life and the lives of her friends, including then-roommate Heidi Montag. The show was so successful that it carried on until its 5th season and Lauren said this was to be her last in The Hills and she went on to design her own fashion line: The Lauren Conrad Collection.
