Leopard Pweeeeeeeeeents

I am the bearer of far too many leopard print apparel, any leopard print item I see gets purchased on impulse no matter how horrible it looks, hmm, I have no idea why it has such an effect on me but this trend is quite risky to try, if you get it wrong, you'll end up looking like a washed up disco star. This is probably why my shiny silver and pink leopard print bodycon latex dress is isolated in my wardrobe shunned from the outside world. If I wear it, it'll be like a police officer littering. I might just update this post with the picture to show you how much I am NOT exaggerating. I tried it on once and my boyfriend said it made me look like a ******well lets just not get into that.

Rihanna's leopard print stockings are just attention grabbing- luckily in a good way
Anyway, this animal print has been in the fashion spotlight for more than a year already. High street shops still have new arrivals that consists of leopard prints, look at the coats from the upcoming Autumn/Winter 2010 collections and leopard prints are a constant. I've got a nice faux fur leopard print coat from Next and I could definitely call it a statement coat as it perks up any basic outfit I have on. I also have leopard print gloves, a hat and a scarf! My upcoming winter wardrobe is full of prints!I can see myself being called the leopard print lady!

Its easy to copy their looks, just pop into any high street store next season!25 Pounds can get you a stylish ones I've already had my eyes on from New Look!

Everyone's embracing this style and pro animal lovers dislike this sort of animal print inspired trend, they assume it promotes animal cruelty and using animal fur. Well, us fashionistas feel different and such campaigners should see it this way. We wear animal prints and faux fur because we love the way they look and simply wear such apparel to mimic the STYLE AND LOOK of the animal, which is why people who agree with me don't buy the actual fur, they get the faux fur to show their appreciation for the way the animal looks! These animals are therefore the trend setters, so to speak!

Now for some last laughs, here's a spoof of Singapore's Miss World who embraces the safari inspired trend!Trust me, Its hilarious. I totally don't see how khaki goes with leopard print, not acceptable by the style police!

We heart Olivia Palermo

Olivia shows some leg

Well she may seem really bitchy and I will never know if she is like that for real(If only I could meet her, She has my dream job after all!) but just look at the Disney Villains, like Cruella De Ville for example, they're always more stylish than their protaganists anyway!

I don't know if anyone has noticed the fact that she centre parts her hair!Centre parting used to put people off, It was said to be nerdy and old fashioned so people opted for big hair side parting. Well many other celebrities and fashionistas are rocking centre parted hair at the moment which shows that this simple hair style is making a COME BACK. I've been doing this with my hair for some time now already, its so easy to do and it makes a statement. Loviiiiing it.

Chanel Inspired bags come and go, but the 2.55 is here to stay- fine by us!

Chanel 2.55 Flap Bag= THE BAG


We have ALL seen how much the elegant quilted chain Chanel bag has had an influence on other fashion houses. The cheapest one can be easily found for a tenner in Primark. I am definitely impressed with the various retailers and designers who based their designs on this classy signature Chanel flap bag. Many have made bigger versions and some have maintained its quaint size. Definitely a must have, reason being, you can wear it with anything!Its basic yet long lived design shows that this product will live on as trends come and go.



Inspired products can be found in New Look, Peacock, Topshop, Quiz, Jane Norman, River Island, Primark....well you can spot a similar product in most high street stores.

Primark was definitely quick to pick up on this, they're actually quick to pick up on any trend and I am not ashamed to say that I surrender to Primark when I'm skint and need a wardrobe update. Have you not heard?The Devil Wears Primark. Funny enough, they do have loads of apparel inspired by Prada, I will get into that in a later post.

I must say, River Island is the definite winner for me with their quillted bag, pardon me if I am wrong to say that that design was probably inspired by the Chanel bag but their 29.99 pound quilted bag has served me well in carrying all my junk while serving its stylistic purpose.

Well it sure looks like the bigger version of the 2.55 bag and I love it for the fact that I can keep my magazines, make up( a bit obssessive about that, I kind of need a lot of make up I dont even wear in my bag), phone, wallet and a whole lot more(junk). Its also a popular school bag and it serves as an enemy of the bearers of the Primark version.The 8 Pound Peacock versions are just as good in quality too.

To be fair, these bags wear and tear over time so I suggest these brands make peace really because this trend is also becoming old news, its only the 2.55(Chanel) thats maintaining its high and mightly position in the world of Fashion.

The Chanel 2.55 is probably mocking the others in delight, you can never compete with Coco.

I still love my River Island bag, which I still carry out, but its mostly my sleepover/school bag now!

GIRL IN THE OVERALLS!FREEZE!

WELCOME TO THE STYLE POLICE!


Late Fashion hero, Michael Jackson.

This blog is dedicated to all fashionistas/ters or fashionistas in the making!I aspire to belong to the fashion industry, I feel like im already part of it. I have always been ever so intrigued by fashion, most girls would say the same. Why?because looks DOES matter. Knowing your fashion means you know you look good. Our fashion sense represents us before we even breathe a word. For some cases, a good fashion instinct covers your flaws.

I follow trends but I also pick and choose what suits me, I am not a conformist fashionista(wow I just made fashion sound so political), I pick up on latest trends yet ditch what I do not agree with. Sometimes I feel some trends are started as a joke.

I will be blogging about all things fashion, beauty and lifestyle because they are things that I am so passionate about. I know some would say its wrong/over rated to say you're "passionate" about something, but I truly am. You will read my take on various fashion trends, celeb fashion, different products, etc.

As for me, The way I dress is quite edgy, eightist yet futuristic, which is why my fave designers are Balmain, Alexander Mcqueen and Karl Lagerfeld. I am a huge music junkie who loves particulary Indie rock and house, I tend to fuse my music taste with what I wear. Being a girly girl as well, I do love my Chanel, Betsey Johnson and Juicy Couture as well. My friends would know how paranoid I am with my Juicy bag, I always refer to it as my baby. My style is always a bit of a mix(Like I said, I do not conform;p), I can go from dressing like a stony mannequin to femme male to a floral princess and many more. As much as I know where I fit in in terms of my own style, I still love to experiment just for the sake of it!Fashion evolves all the time. Sure some trends to make a come back but its never the same is it?

Keep reading to get your regular dose of fashion from the fashion police!
