Easter

I was in London last weekend, enjoying one of my all time favorite things, trawling around selfridges! And I found possibly the most exquisit little cake you will ever ever see. It was the most beautiful thing I'd ever eaten and the most delicious. £3.45, it's almost worth the £35 train journey....
Rabbit Jo Jo- need I say more?

KIGURUMI!

I was just looking for my fancy dress costume when.....I JUST HAD TO POST SOMETHING ABOUT THIS!


I read about Kigurumi in my Japanese School Girl Inferno but they have finally hit the UK! These animal pjs make the cutest fancy dress costume! I am so in love with them I would be tempted to wear it out!

Try kigu.co.uk for lots of different UK based costumes.
Set up by two best friends who wanted to spice up the fancy dress world and fell in love with Kigurumi!

Double Denim? Are you sure?


Denim, to me, is almost a fashion loop hole, it's a lazy day jeans and t-shirt trend that requires no instructions, style or fashion talent to achieve. So if jeans can be seen as unstylish and fashion's easy option, then what, oh what do we make of the all over denim trend?!


This trend as seen on the catwalks of D&G, Chloé, Stella mccartney and Ralph Lauren, is traditionally seen as the naffest of the naff (also I don't know why the font changed here) so is there really any place for double denim in a wardrobe? Or is the fashion industry becoming so generic that everything has to be challenging to enable it to become new or interesting? 


I believe that every generation can be defined by a cut of jeans. For children of the 60's it was the bell bottoms, for the 90's it was the skater cut and for now its the skinnies yattah yattah yattah. But can this same theory be applied to a denim shirt or dungarees? And if denim has always been around and this trend keeps being regurgatated then why can't it be       defined as classic clothing? 


The key to succeeding in this trend, I believe, is actually to where the same colour head to toe! If you start mixing and matching then it looks like you're trying too hard and people actually notice that you're following trends! Wear it all over and it looks effortless, natural, almost like a jump suit, look at the D&G above, works don't it?


So don't be scared, denim strikes twice...
