Sleek With A Twist

Currently craving: sleek hair with a twist. A far cry from my mad hair at the moment. Deep condition, hair straighter & serum, anyone? No rain or mist allowed.

Left to right, hair from Christian Dior, Valentino & Louis Vuitton.

My Big Fat McQueen Wedding

I don't know about you, but I'm up for another Alexander McQueen wedding.

 Where the very fashionable mother of the bride wears white McQueen. But don't worry, mother's tend not to upstage the bride. When asked who she is wearing, she smiles and says demurely 'Oh, this? Alexander McQueen.' It's a tough life.

 Where the very fashionable friend of a friend wears McQueen. This friend of a friend is most definitely trying to upstage in her light blush pink feathered coat/dress. 'You-hoo, look at me.' I'm wearing Alexander McQueen.

Where the bridesmaid who was once unwilling to partake in any such wedding, but when told she could keep the dress, a smile was firmly fixed on her face. The smile was still plastered when she found out she was on 'helping-the-bride-with-her-dress-when-going-to-the-toilet-duty.' 'Alexander McQueen. Alexander McQueen. Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen. Beautiful dress. With feathers.' Bridesmaid mutters on and on.....

 Where the bride disses the notion of a white dress. Or ivory, or even pale pink for that matter. Red. A red Alexander McQueen dress. Perfect, says bride. Just the thing. A dress so beautiful, even the upstager can't help but gasp with longing. Bride wins all the time. Especially in a tiered red Alexander McQueen dress. I do.

Such a gorgeous collection, perfect for make belief and real life alike. I love, and you?

Mary Says What?

Hello!

Let's play a game of Mary says.

1. The way to stay warm in the depths of Winter? Mary says to go for an over sized chunky knit and a pair of coloured trousers. Why not go for yellow. Winter means grey skies & chilly air. The trick with wearing a pair of bright trousers on a dreary day is to focus your eyes on them and then look up at the sky. Yellow trousers.Cheerful.Grey Sky.Depressing.Yellow trousers.Sun.Grey Sky.Is that the Sun I see? Smart.

2. The peplum is currently doing the rounds. Mary says, to hang on to that peplum, 'cause it's still going to be pep-ular(!) come Winter time. Next Season the peplum is more exaggerated. Mary says, 'Just Do It'! I say, yes please.

3. Mary says, to always hang up your clothes. Too lazy? Think of your clothes as karma. Treat them bad, well, what goes around comes around. Wrinkles so deep in your favourite denim shirt, not even an iron can tame them. Mary says, you should have hung that one up. But fear not, buy this hanger dress and it will always remind you to show your clothes with respect. If you don't have the thousands to purchase, just buy some hangers. I always prefer the black felt ones, as seen on the dress. I say, great minds think alike, Mary.

4. Fashionably late? Not so fashionable, says Mary. Buy yourself a watch and you will find yourself counting the seconds until Mary Katrantzou Spring-Summer 2013. For the time being, let next Season's amazing prints take your breath away. Count one-two-three and breathe.

5.With this particular dress, Mary says two things. (1.) The colour crimson is a must. On everyone. (2.) Mary says to blog more. It doesn't matter if you've had a shitty day, it's better out than in, right? Obviously, I need to practice what 'Mary' preaches. This  typewriter dress will be my inspiration. Thanks Mary Katrantzou for another cracking Season. See you next time!
