Spring along

Sick of winter? style.com have released their trend reports for spring 2011, yay! as much as I love wrapping up warm in big chunky knits and tea cosy hats, nothing beats being able to wear a dress-tightless or a top and shorts-fleeceless.
Style have categorised spring into 7 sections: Hyper colour, Lace Embrace, Midi is the message, Prints revolution, Seeing the light, The Yves standard and We wear the pants.
My favourite is Lace Embrace...

So cute and feminine!

Take a look through all of these fashion predictions , some pretty snazzy inspirations lay within :)

Valentines Shmalentines

"Saint Valentine's Day, commonly shortened to Valentine's Day,^[1][2][3] is an annual commemoration held on February 14 celebrating love and affection between intimate companions.^[1][3] The day is named after one or more early Christian martyrs, Saint Valentine, and was established by Pope Gelasius I in 496 AD. It was deleted from the Roman calendar of saints in 1969 by Pope Paul VI, but its religious observance is still permitted." - wikipedia.
 I hate to be a synic but.. valentines is a load of shnoodles in my eyes! surely if you are in fact so deeply in love with somebody you don't need a day in the calendar to prove that to them? it should be a daily occurance? However nice valentines day is for people in love, it is still just a money making system for all kinds of retail? On the contrary I do realise that if I was in love, i might feel differently about it.. hmmm. a tricky one.
what are your opinions fellow cool cats?

On a lighter, less opinionated note.. this is pretty cool :)

L is for Last Nights Party

Last night was my dear friends party and I bought a lovely silk shirt for the occassion.. well I persuaded mother bear to :o) muhaha.. and after such hard graft working my persuasion techniques and smooth moves like a slick rick, somebody spilt alcohol on it and it is now stained :( even though that somebody could potentially be me (culprit not known as i was rather heavily under the influence) it's really bummed me out. does anybody know how to remove stains from silk shirts? you would be my hero if so!
 

what a babe...

Inspirational is the main word I think of when I look at this beautys work! Bella Howard is a young photographer who we should all pay attention to, I'm sure one day soon she'll be the IT photographer every fashion industry insider runs to for new and innovative ideas. She is the perfect person to shoot our generation as she continues to tell the story of our time through her pictures. http://bybellazine.blogspot.com/ bella, you really are an inspiration!!

I NEED THESE IN MY LIFE!!!
