Today I went into town with my mum. Here is what I wore to go shopping with her.
I tend not to upload photo's of myself wearing outfits often as that's not really the style of my blog, but I quite liked what I was wearing today!
For those interested...
"Customised" Blondie T-Shirt (I hacked into it with a pair of fabric scissors one day when I was angry) - River Island years ago.
Cardigan - Topshop
Necklace - Unknown vintage (courtesy of my loving neighbour)
Cropped pants - Rokit Vintage London (Covent Garden store)
Shoes - HOH!
Bag - Vivienne Westwood
I usally wear LOTS of dark purple MAC lipstick, but its quite a dark and wintery colour. I'm trying to embrace Summer by looking as bare faced as possible.
My mother and I got our feet bitten by little fish today. It was so strange, I thought I was going to wet myself with laughter.
Sorry... I had to take a picture to show everyone.
I then went to H&M and bought an array of holiday t-shirts for when me and my boyfriend go away! (I understand my last blog sounded like we'd split up or something, but fortunately not, he's offshore just now and comes back Monday).
Speaking of fish, a designer who notably took influence from not only fish, but mermaids and pirates, is Jean Paul Gaultier.
Jean Paul Gaultier - Spring 2008, Paris Fashion Week
I've always had such an admiration for Gaultier from a young age. This show may be old, but it still remains contemporary to me. It's so playful, sexy and rather androgynous at times. I love how the models power down the runway, like haggard pirate phantoms. I especially love the PIRATE BRIDES at the end of the show. Theatrical brilliance. Westwood meets Galliano.
I feel that Gaultier has such an indisputable understanding of the female frame. No other Fashion Designer quite understands a womans body like Gaultier.
Some of my favorite models were also featured in this show.
Sasha Pivovarova
Chanel Iman
Lily Donaldson
Lily Cole
Gemma Ward
Army chic meets Captain Jack Sparrow - I LOVE.
