There is something completely sexy, risque and somewhat taboo about latex…
But as Ooh La Latex shows it is also flattering, glamorous and very versatile! I think it would amazing to mix the sexy latex with basics, I am already imaging how brilliant the black latex would look when paired with grey marl jersey… or the black latex stockings with a cutesy floral dress the perfect solution for those not quite ready to make the leap to a full summer wardrobe just yet.
Even Unique at Topshop are in on the act with this pink rubber pencil skirt:
Grey tee, All Saints; Bangles, Net a Porter; Rubber Pencil Skirt by Unique, Topshop; Black Heels, Nicholas Kirkwood at Browns.

The shops seem to be full of all things floral, pink and nautical – all very spring and summer. And well its not really spring yet, it certainly doesn’t look it outside and it doesn’t feel it as I add yet another layer of wool to protect me from the evil snow that has once again decided to fall upon us… so I’m not quite in the mood for frothy florals and pinks quite yet.
Which is why I am really loving these geometric designs from Ken and Dana Design.

As much as I have tried to ignore it the body suit is back and it is probably going to be with us for a while. At first I was somewhat timid about trying one on, memories of a child running around with a permenant vpl or even worse poppers popping open halfway through class assembly holding me back, but last weekend I went on a monster trail around the shops and found myself in Topshop trying on every body they seemed to stock.
My general conclusion is that body suits when worn a size above (in my personal opinion) can be incredibly comfortable, paler colours and the lace varieties are not very forgiving on lumps and bumps neither do they leave anything to the imagination if you are ample bossomed such as myself and unfortunately due to the snug fit I found it almost impossible to find a flattering strapless number- purely on the basis that I am yet to find a fully supportive strapless bra that DOES actually support larger boobs and it all just headed south. Admittedly it was somewhat tedious trying to put the poppers together whilst drunk and yes one of my friends has told me that her poppers started to unpop just as she was leaving a very important meeting at work but avoid being very drunk and always buy big and you should avoid such sticky situations I’m sure. Good points of the body, however, were that you never have to worry about back flashing- which I hate – and if wearing something loose on the bottom it is the most flattering accompanyment. I am also finding it very easy to wear my bodies both at work during the day then dressed up at night which in my eyes is the sign of a truly excellent piece of clothing!
Here are some of the best bodies going around:
From left to right; Lace print body, Acne; navy long sleeved body, Splendid @ Net a Porter; striped body, Miss Selfridge; polka dots body, New Look; Peach body, Topshop; and lace body, Warehouse.

A very belated Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from me!
I hope you all had very successful sales hunting, overall I wasn’t too bothered by the sales. However, I have to say Topshop was a wee treasure trove of bargains- I managed to snaffle a lovely gold cracked leather clutch and a chiffon top with a wee spooky pattern on it for a measley £26. If I had more pennies to spare I would have been buying the Christopher Kane dresses which were vastly reduced but I had no pennies so I didn’t. Blub. River Island also looked like they had a good sale, although my perpetual festive hangover couldn’t handle the sheer madness going on in the high street store but I did manage to go to the website and pick me up a wee tartan coat which will go very nicely with the oxford brogues my boyfriend got me for Christmas.
Now if only the snow will go away so I can actually get out the house in something other than Ugg boots and a ski jacket!

I’m not ashamed to admit I am a massive fan of Star Wars- i.e. the olds ones not the new ones they’re guff. So when I saw that Adidas have designed a range of Star Wars trainers to be released Summer 2010 I almost wet myself.
Yes, they are completely geeky but also very cool, even if they didn’t have Skywalker on sides (amazing btw) they would still look ace and totally relevant. The Star Wars reference and inspiration and very subtle so I can see these sneaks being popular with fans and non fans!
Each pair of trainers are inspired by a character from the movies such as Yoda, Skywalker, Darth Vader etc my favourite pairs have to be the Skywalker pair and the Atat Walker pair- very cool.

Who wore a Nevica jacket in the 90s? I did so did most the people at my wee high school.
Has enough time passed for the Nevica to have thoroughly gone out and come back again?? Jodpurs seem to have come back, I remember wearing jodpurs with my Nevica in fact with the elastic streched over my pumps therefore it must be time for the Nevica to reappear. Its coming into the winter season as well, what if we get caught in a snow storm and have no Recco stick to snap! We need to bring back Nevica’s for our own safety.
Lets bring back the Nevica jacket. But only the luminous ones.
