STREETSTYLE: 90s GOTH






Not strictly streetstyle... I styled a shoot for my store with photographer, the ever wonderful Emily Scarlett Romain. I love photographing Bryony, she's such a natural infront of the camera and has great 90s Spice Girl style - see here if you don't believe me.

For the full set of Autumn lookbook photos check out my store's Facebook page (and hey, you might as well give it a Like whilst you're there).


Also, don't you love how the hair/sunglasses/purple lipstick combo make her look as though she should be in En Vogue (my current style icons) in their 90s heyday? I do.

PARTY: CRAZY ASIANS AT EFES

/ / / E F E S \ \ \ 
Yes we know you went there before everyone else did. Yes we know it's full of tossers in tight T shirts at the weekend. Yes we know you have to wait half an hour to pee because the toilets are full of FASHION girls doing m-kat. Yes it's basically a glorified school disco. But where else do you get to dance to Drake and Rihanna at 4am whilst drinking Red Stripe?! Huh?! 










P.S. WHAT is with the Efes 'Changing Rooms' style make-over, complete with dodgy murals. WTF?!

STREETSTYLE: 90s FRESH









When you see a trend reach some suburban nightmare highstreet store you know it's officially over (hello creepers! Oh if only you weren't bastardised by Rihanna!) But you know what? The whole 90s grunge look may look fucking awful when sported by some irritating, jumped up 17yr old who bought it straight off a Topshop mannequin (meow), but when it's done right it is SO FUN! Also I am just well jel and well bitter that I'm too old to pull it off anymore (I'm fodder for the over 25s category in X-Factor, like, jeesh, when did this happen?) So when I see kids (meant in non-patronising way, but maternal whimsical way) like Danny and Bryony respectively rocking the 1993 acid house and Babes in Toyland Barbie look I bloody love it. 

PS. I'm fully aware I just used the word rocking. Just like when your mum tries to be cool. Cringe.
