WHO WORE WHAT WHEN

Fashion Salvation

I was styling a shoot today for The Salvation Army that will appear in the press this week. Here are my own images from the day. Antonia who was today's photographer took some amazing images in some fabby sets that she created using different bits and bobs from the shop, and the student models looked fantastic and were very professional despite never having done anything like this before. I don't tend to blog and each and every shoot that I do, because after a while I think it would get a bit dull, for both me and anyone who reads this, but this shoot reminded me that to make a great outfit, you don't need a wardrobe full of designer labels costing the earth. Each of these runway inspired outfits cost less than £20 and all the money made goes to a worthwhile cause.

Vintage Valentino Blazer (only £5.99!!!!!!) So Balmain A/W 09!


These acid wash tapered leg, high-waisted jeans are only 99p! The 50s are still proving to be very popular and Kaeleigh, the hair stylist did an amazing job on the hair.




The middle girl's 'Sherlock Holmes' style tweed cape looked great, but when it came to posing for photos, I think she found it rather restrictive. I loved her animal print top, and I believe that she purchased this skirt straight after the shoot!

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:

I don't know many folks who ride bikes other than my son and his 8year old mates, but if I were to start, it would be this bike and helmet combo from CycleChic!

My Hero!

The Kenneth has promised to buy me a dress for the wedding at the weekend. YAY! Perfect Man! So I am going to head into town in a couple of hours, choose it, then go for dinner at Wagamma (Two Chicken Katsu Curries please!) and then we are going to see the new Johnny Depp film in the cinema...I forget what it's called. Wish me luck!

Desperately Seeking Cheapness...

Got a wedding this weekend and as usual I don't have anything to wear, and as usual, due to my crappie job and student status, I have no money! Hence the trawling of supermarket clothing websites.

I unearthed this little gem from Asda:

It would fab with my big chunky wedged Aldo Boots

and my next hairstyle:



It would help satisfy my still lingering and unsatisfied lust for Matthew Williamson's pixelated tapestry dress from A/W 08. Ebay is offering me nothing, except all the H&M stuff, or the dreaded 'Butterfly' Debenhams range. Gahhhhh!

I felt that I couldn't keep this bargain (£16) to myself, especially when two of my friends and fellow Glasgow Craft Mafia members, We Are The Robots, are sooo obsessed with pixelations, so I facebooked the link to them. What a good soul I am! The dress would look amazing with one of their pixelated necklaces...

Picnic in the Park

Here is the JULY events Schedule for the Glasgow Craft Mafia. There is still time to enter the Mafia's fab competition to name their new mascot. Go to their blog to enter and to be in with a chance to win a goody bag full of goodies from all the members!

Pretty Raccoons in Glasgow

While adding all the Glasgow Craft Mafia members' blog links to my blog roll, I was delighted to be reminded of one of my favourite tops. Emma at Show Pony can be seen modeling some Pretty Raccoon tops and dresses for the new online (Glasgow based) store, Hannah Zakari. I bought my red antler sweater from Pretty Raccoon's etsy store a year or so ago, and wore it for about 7 days straight. Needless to say, after these photos were taken in The Buff Club on a bit of boozy night out, it had to be washed and rested for a while.

(Cheesy grin alert!)

I totally remember shouting at my mate, 'quick, take a picture of my top!' lol.



I hope that Hannah Zakari stocks the fab super-low-v-neck Bow Tops soon as I am too tight these days to pay for the super-high-delivery from America!
