Beaus & Arrows

Not to jump on a topical bandwagon or anything, but its Valentines Day. Did you notice? I certainly did. As virtually the only single one left of all my friends, from school mates, to college buddies...

Celluloid clobber

... as opposed to the rather boring Film Fashion. Writing posts about outfits I like in films I have watched is not something that I have ever done before, but I have often thought about it. I dont h...

Style signatures

Obviously, dressing and looking as I do (and the various incarnations of different alternative styles Ive sported over the years) shows that looking unusual and drawing others attention is not someth...

Getting Real

Im going to have a little bit of a rant. The opinion I am going to air is not unique to me, but its not something I have written about before on here. But here it is anyway. I have a massive problem ...

Ginger rocks.

In my latest and sixth adventure for The Kings Ginger, it was time to make a flying visit to the seaside. Its true to say that Brighton does indeed rock, or so thought his Majesty King Edward VII! It...

Spring out of season

Ordinarily, I wouldnt be posting another round of sponsor adulation so soon after the last one, but this is a bit of a special case. This dress has traversed the world like a little cloth-based gap y...

A little sponsor love...

Sooo... how are we all? I see my last post garnered lots of lovely replies, and I am so glad that it left you all feeling motivated. Im also really relieved that my inclination to wear lycra and run ...

Visiting the past

I would like to announce that I have failed on the 12 Days of Christmas Outfits. I spent the proceeding three days from my last post, holed up in my flat, wearing little of note and seeing no one to ...

Sieben, Acht, Happy Neu(n) Year!

And a very happy new year to you all! England is currently in the throes of the Apocalypse, as I write, rain pelts my window and my parents sit shivering in the cold due to gale-induced power cuts. B...

Quatre, Cinq, (iPhone 4S)ix

Oh dear. I did warn you that the quality of the photographs may be somewhat lacking in this Twelve Days of Christmas Outfits series. And Im as good at my word! These ones are almost universally atroc...

Good Sport

Malaise et les Francaises

You know when you come back from a trip away, and everything suddenly seems so dull, so long, so beige, so much dashed EFFORT? That. I did, however, have the most wonderful time in Lanzarote and will...

Sherry Christmas!

Hey yall. Im going on holiday tomorrow. But Ive spent the last two days doing back-breaking manual labour and getting all grubby in the name of art. If you recall, back in March, I designed a small g...

Ps and Qs. Mostly Qs
