Retro Gola Trainers...

Made In The UK..

I'm loving these Retro Gola trainers I used on my shoot today.. They remind me of my brother in the 80's when he used to kick a foot ball at a wall to the side of our house for hours on end.. 80's kids!! :)

6 Of The Best Winter Boots By Ravel....

6 Of The Best Boot Buys by Ravel Shoes...

I received the new Autumn/Winter 2012 look book by Ravel the other day and was instantly spoilt for choice with their fabulous new boot selection. Ravel has always been one for a good quality footwear and these styles below are no exception!! I think my favourite style is the Kellis in black and tan brown for £100. I just love the contrasting black leather against the tan brown leather strap; meaning you don't have the dilemma of whether to wear a black or brown bag, you can wear either!! With knee high boots being the key footwear trend of the A/W 2012 season, you will have no trouble in choosing a great pair by Ravel.

Ravel are set to launch their exciting new website very soon, where you will be able to purchase these boots and a wider selection of footwear to be delivered direct to your door... Watch this space for their amazing new website complete with fashion tips on how to wear and Ravel's very own blog.

Fashion Clothes Swap Frenzie!!!

Swap That Dress For Something Special...

I went to my first clothes swap party at the weekend.. And WOW was I impressed!! I must admit I was abit aprehensive before I went. I'm quite protective over my clothes and handing them over to the lovely girl behind the desk was a hard task for me complete!! All kinds of things were going through my head.. Do I really want to give them away? Am I going to miss them? Will I wear them again one day? Will I find anything good enough that I like? Am I going to regret this? The good thing was I was pleasantly surprised!! I took some of my old vintage numbers down to The Shipping Forecast in Liverpool and managed to swap them for some high street beauties!! There was a big choice in items, vintage, high street, designer, shoes, jewellry and accessories and all were in excellent condition.

The girls that organised the event were from the fashion website www.myfashionjunkie.com and they were really helpful and enthusiastic when it came to swapping the clothes. They gave me a good price swap for my items and told me that if I didn't find anything I could keep my points and use them online or at another event.. Phew!! I wasn't going to be left with something I didn't really like!! I'd definitely recommend a fashion swap party and might even try to organise one myself soon. The perfect thing about them is that you can swap your clothes amongst your friends. Everyone has things in their wardrobe that they're either bored of, don't fit into anymore or have never even worn because it was definitely a spur of the moment buy that you knew at the time you should not have bought!!

Well as the famous saying says.. One man's tat is another man's treasure!!! And in the case, it really was true!!!! :O)

Addicted!

I can not really hide my enthusiasm with footwear, to be more precise, with totaly unconventional high heel footwear. Yes! Shoes may be my fetish, but what about these crazy designs? Don't You all just love them?!

Creative crisis - recycling!

I can't really hide my slight disappointment with the creative crisis hitting the catwalks. I know that the economical factors had to influence the fashion but did it really have to be so much? Buying arty, crazy and out of ordinary designs sure is. Where the designer decides to break the rules and do something different, its where its righteous to be awarded. Mostly designers in the crisis decide to offer more conventional solutions that are 100% commercial and wearable, because the art is luxury and in such times its hard to sell.

But on the other hand don't we all have thousands of conventional designs in our closet? And for some people, like me, it is unfair that we need to face creative crisis besides the economical.

Recycling in fashion can be quite interesting in fact. Using different solutions and ideas, being surrealistic can indeed be the answer and it doesn't have to be expensive. Just a bit of glue, pins, needle, and whatever sparks the interest, can be the perfect improvisation and totally liberating! Not to mention unique! As a new designer, without the possibility of the industry and technology supporting big names, it was just a thought from the consumer point of view, how to put a bit of uniqueness in the slightly boring trends for the fall winter 2010-11. Besides that, some quite out of ordinary recycled fashion will perfectly fit the conventional 100% wearable clothes because it will give it a perfect twist and a totally personalized look. Just to break the monotony of the uniform look that generally dominated the recent catwalks.
While I was simply admiring some unique designs, creations above fashion and ultimate (un)wearable art, I came across the idea that just anyone can create something different with a bit of imagination.

These might spark some interest and just put You on the right thinking: that just anything can do the trick. Some designers in the past really made a statement with recycled style accessories, and we all remember the jeans skirt made out of old pair of jeans as well as how easy is to make a personalized T-shirt.

Also by reusing old stuff and recycling You are looking after the nature and besides being experimental and creative, it is ecological.
