RIP to two astonishing individuals

I posted a tribute to the fashion and music icons that are Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson here.

Exciting News: The Flyest

Stay tuned for more info as we're about to do a shoot with The Flyest.

The Flyest are specialists in customisation of leather goods (shoes, bags, belts, kicks and jackets amongst other things)
Yours truly will be watching the items extremely closely and may have to tuck a couple things into my bag when nobody is looking.

Til then, feast your peepers on the photo and drool away.

Add yourself to his Facebook page and start buying, bitches!

One of the most ridiculous get-ups .... ever!

I'm not fashionista or anything but Rihanna's suit at the Metropolitan Museum Costume Institute Gala in NY was bordering on Star Trek.

I know that she had to make a statement seeing as this was her first public appearance since the Chris Brown saga, but I don't think this was necessariloy a good statement. In fact, Madonna Kate Moss and Agnes Deyn also wore some shockers. Fright Night came early this year, me thinks ...

Trend: One shoulder

Looks like one of the biggest trends for 2009 is everywhere now. The one shoulder/asymmetric line has hit everywhere. The prom style dress seems to be making way for a more tailored cocktail style which I'm loving although I have to say I do love the dramatic nipped waist and pouffy skirt.

I managed to pick up a bargain at my usual haunt ASOS for my birthday, and in the fortnight of dresses, this one was my favourite. A black dress with black organza hearts each with white stitching round each one.

I must say there is a lot out there at the moment with this style and some may not suit all body shapes as I have square shoulders the one shoulder that cuts across the chest isn't as flattering as the one shoulder style, so watch out for that!

As for my fabulous fortnight of dresses, I did also wear a backless high bustle backed prom dress; high and short in a red and black organza teamed with my red shoes from The Flyest, and a beautiful light blue dress from Zara complete with hot pink accessories. 

Go and seek the wonder that is the one shoulder.

Seems like I have an obsession with purple ..... ?

F*ck the "bang on trend" shit for a minute.

I am wondering whether other people go through obsessions with colour like I do? Last year I was on red a lot, I have hoards of red tops, belts and even a pair or beautiful red shoes courtesy of The Flyest that I love SO much. Then there was the pink one. And I used to HATE pink with a passion.

The past few months, well more like six or so months I only seem to be drawn to all things purple. I'm no colour expert, but I thought colours are attached to moods and attitudes? 

If so, what mood am I currently in and is it a good one? 

My new love - WET LOOK leggins.

So during my usual daily/weekly ASOS  search, I again came across (well when I say came across, I clicked the bookmark) the page with the Sass and Bide "Black rats" leggings which I've been holding out on buying for weeks and weeks. Was trying to warrant paying that much money for them, then was looking around to see if I could find a good enough copy (ghetto hood rat style) as I decided that £90 for something I'd only wear a couple times - working out at around £45 a wear - was a little extravagant even by my standards. 

(The Jean Paul Gaultier dress I wore once for my 18th comes to mind)

So anyway, had a chat regarding it to Cat and she mentioned that Topshop has the wetlook leggins in and whispered the price to me. All thoughts of the ruched leggings went out the window at that point, and the World went into slow motion for a few minutes. Needless to say the next opportunity I got I hot-footed it down to Oxford Circus to get them.

After staring at myself in the changing room for 20 minutes (lol) I finally took them off and bought them.

I love em and for all of you that have an inner dominatrix (that word has been thrown around a fair few times) I think u need to join the revolution and get a pair. Black though. Have seen people in the red and it just reminds me of Britney Spears a la "Oops I did it again" gone wrong. Don't do it to yourselves, bitches.

When u do, team them with your highest heels that match your top, nothing too fancy to take away from the leggings. Go plain on the accessories also. 

I don't have a proper pic of me in them, may have to model 'em and get some pics done ;) *goes off to look for a telephone number*

Thanks Catrina x

I'm still hankering for those Sass and Bides though ...... 

Shoes ..... hot to DEATH! I'd shank a bitch for these.

Now, I have to sing the praises of Mr Gentles AGAIN as he done did it again. I have another pair of custom shoes courtesy of him and his skills. The Flyest are basically his skilled artwork on shoes, bags, belts jackets etc. as long as it's leather. 

I love him SO much for these. All Saints stilettos with zip detail up the back of the shoe and I'm telling you I was prepared to kill for these, luckily I didn't have to. Cos I'm telling you I woulda packed them up and brought them with me to prison and shanked hardened crims to keep these.

And check out my foot in the shoe. I'm officially a model! 

Join the revolution before you can't afford him! Cop his shit here jabronis
