Yoko Oginome, Gaga before Gaga


i am loving Yoko Oginome right now. remind you of a certain Lady Gaga?
i dont know about you but i will be trying some looks inspired by this video

Brace yourself for Suspenders!

possibly one of my favourite accessories yet so under used! forget the realms of old men in ill fitting trousers and 1920s pornography (i say!) and think more This is England. there is something so cool about suspenders
what do you think?




Urkel Knows what i'm talking about!

Geek Chic and Fashion Week


ok so i know this was ages ago but i didn't get a chance to blog about it so i'm putting a few pics up now. i went to LFW's Fashion Weekend to go hunting for some designer discounts. got some great stuff though was a little disappointed with the goodie bag (tampons and coffee? really guys?). above are my two favourite looks from the catwalk show. i am a BIG fan of the geek chic look.
Me and Mama! she is my fashion partner in crime. i look albino due to my bleached eyebrows
