WHO WORE WHAT WHEN

A new job...

I had a phone call from the lovely Sarah at The Salvation Army who are holding a fashion event for freshers and students on Monday 14th September. The event will include yours truly styling some student models in clothing from the stores and then all week, students will receive 20% OFF all their purchases, including clothing, furniture etc. It should be a great event and it's for a good cause!

Some more pics from Belgium:
Ebony Bones was a fashion spectacle indeed. Bright colours, big hair and even bigger accessories was the order of the day.

Long time no see...

It's been ages, but I have been mega busy ok?

I have been to Belgium, been doing uni stuff including the dreaded dissertation...will it ever end???

Anyway, Belgium was amazing. It was our third year at Pukkelpop, a fantastic music festival, with clean toilets!!! It was great, although The Kenneth and I did frequently say to each other 'why are we doing this?' as we walked from stage to stage with aching feet, and then climbed into a cramped tent that was HOTTER THAN THE SUN at the end of the day!

The highlights were definitely Faith No More, Maximo Park and Florence & the Machine. Florence Welch looked fab in a sheer, flouncy chiffon dress and sparkly, sequins hotpants that showed when she twirled around the stage. See my pics...

Flo's stage was suitably 'dressed' too with floral arrangements and bird cages.

This week's style icon is...

Florence Welsh. Not only does she share the first name with one of my bestest mates, and is an amazing singer, but her clothing is faboolus! I seriously can't wait to see Flo + The Machine in Belgium in August! Here are some of my fave pics:

 

So...

Evans get a model that looks like a size uk 12, maybe a 14 tops, to feature in the campaign images for a store that has a size range of 16-22. Strange.

My favourite piece so far is definitely the purple sequins slouchy top.

Someone died.

I am such a lazy blogger. My bad. So Michael Jackson died, did he? And the nation mourns. I didn't know him, and from what I gathered, he was a bit strange, dangling babies over balconies and such. But his music was fab. There is no denying it. This is a fact. But I am over it. I am avoiding facebook at the moment, because whenever I sign in, there are about 8 or 9 people saying that they can't stop crying or listening to his music.

Three words for you: Get. A. Life.

Fashion wise...Michael Jackson was fab...that red leather thriller jacket is so 80s and amazing, and methinks that Karen O took inspiration from him, when she appeared on stage at Glastonbury with a fringed glove on one hand...a signature Jackson manoeuvre. (Couldn't find an image from Glasto, so this one taken at a Brooklyn gig will have to do!)

My Summer Festival get-up...

We have tickets for T in the Park, but I doubt we will go. The line-up is really good, but comprises mostly of bands that The Kenneth and I have seen three or four times already including, The Killers, Kings of Leon, Franz Ferdinand, James, Maximo Park, Bloc Party etc etc. And don't even get me started on the toilets. The toilets at T are awful. The thought of mixing with the rif raf that attend T in the Park also  leaves me cold. The last couple of years, I have felt that less and less people are going for the music and more to get drunk/drugged up/cause fights which does nothing for the stereotypical image of Glasgow louts. 

Pukkelpop on the other hand, is completely different. The line-up already rivals T, with N*E*R*D, Kraftwerk and Arctic Monkeys. The Monkeys, I can take or leave, but N*E*R*D's first album, is one of my favourites ever! Shortly after I first starting dating The Kenneth, we went through to Edinburgh for the MTV Europe Music Awards After Show gig where N*E*R*D were playing. It was amazing! Justin Timberlake, (baring in mind this was at the peak of his solo career), came out on stage and everyone went mental! Such a good night! And on top of that fantastic news, the toilets at Pukkelpop are always being cleaned, and there is absolutely no drunk rowdy folk. (I just re-read that last sentence...I am obviously getting older!)

Anyway, regardless what festival we go to this year (PUKKELPOP!), I have been looking online for some festival friendly clothing. Forget about wellies, waterproof trousers and cagouls. Pukkelpop is in Belgium and for the last three years, the weather has been roasting!

I found this cute outfit on the always fabulous Topshop website that is perfect for strolling around scoffing Mexican Wraps, drinking Cherry Beer and listening to the best music!

A tiny bit GAGA...

I had an interesting shoot in Ayr a couple of weeks ago with Photographer Colleen McMahon, Model Sara Millar and Make Up Artist Kaeleigh Wallace. The theme was Lady Ga Ga. *shudders*

I found a HUGE glitter ball in my old room at my parent's house which I thought would be perfect, coupled with that hair bow, loads of spandex, and some pop attitude, I think we nailed it! Have a wee look...

The shoot was good fun, having worked with both Sara and Kaeleigh before, it was great to catch up and have a giggle! It was quite a chaotic shoot, as there was no dressing area prepared...we had to get the model's make up and clothing on in the public toilets!!! Poor Kaeleigh kept being mistaken by young girls for a face painter! LOL. And I think that the toilet attendant thought we were crazy!
