OBSESSIONS.

I go through stages with clothes. I'll be obsessed with a few things at a time, right now it's the 90s + shirts and trying to resist the temptation of getting  my nose pierced. Seeing as LFW starts tomorrow i've already started making a mental list of all the clothes I plan on looking out for in the vintage shops + all the little boutiques.

My first obsession is Bolo Neck ties, originally seen on Cowboys + Line Dancers. I need one, my shirts feel naked and cowboyless without it. This kid was too cool for his decade.

Everytime I go to London I go on the vintage leather jacket hunt. I'm not going to fail this time because if i can't get a cheap vintage one, i'm going to get this UO Renewal babe. I bought tons of spike studs intending to do up my Topshop jacketm, but the leather's so fake & shitty I don't want to waste them.

TIE DYE. It might be my seriously summer lusting/nostalgia i've got going on right now, but I need it in my life, I can sense a serious comeback over summer if all this 90s revival contines.

I never bought into the creeper thing at the end of last year and it's the biggest regret of my life. Instead I'm going to go one up and start hunting for some platformed shoes. These Underground ones are actually ideal, UO also have similar ones. NEW LIFE AIM = BE 6FT.

Obscure Couture.

For the past three weeks I've spent my weekends in the cosy studio of Obscure Couture in the Barras. I want to keep getting a bit of work at LFW every season, and this time i've been helping out the girls with their numerous emails, pulling out clothes for clients, being a little helper and even PATTERN CUTTING. Let's just say it came rushing back to me, especially after stabbing my hands four or five times.

I'm helping out with their show on the 17th February at A La Mode in the RSA Vaults. It's hosted by LGN Events and is the girls biggest show to date, and after seeing the clothes come together it's going to be one of their best too. I won't give anything away but expect lots of photos after London because it will be epic. Lyndsay & Jenn never fail with creativity for their couture collections and i'm SO excited to see it finally go down the catwalk, and just as excited by the promise of some after show events. 

Here's their past collections for you to awe over in the meantime...

LookBook - Take 2.

To actually get a move on with my life I've started a Look Book again. I made an account last summer, did one look and forgot all about it, so this time i'm launching myself in head first and I WILL post Looks!!! The photographs will be courtesy of my darling roomy Fiona Jones - fionajesus.blogspot.com, she gots some shit hot photography skillz - as I can't take myself seriously with a self timer.

Enjoy my awkward camera face.

This outburst of enthusiasm is linked to us Fashion Coms lot heading down to LFW again, and if this snow carries on i'll be wearing fur and having my boyfriend carry me so I can wear some beautiful shoes, toss up between my new JC Spikes or my JC Skates? Such a Jeffrey Campbell whore it's ridiculous.

Lookbook is an amazing source of inspiration, the constant stream of street style from across the world is so handy.

LIFE AIM = BE AS POPULAR AS BEBE ZEVA.
