Basic, baggy and sports Tees...

And we're not talking Nike... no offence. But obviously thats wear meant for the gym as far more practical. What we're avtually liking about this trend is the comfy element. Hand it off the shoulder for an 80's vibe. To chanel noughties, have an edgy cut at the botomn of the tee. Pockets. Yeah great! Practical! Boyish... Gamine...


 

 




Put with high wasted shorts for 80's festival chic. Add studs for edgy vibes. Or channel 70's cool with a trilby and some high wasted bell bottoms. Yes please. 

One of our versions... CUSTOMIZED college brand tee... 


Tassells

Vintage and retro wear is HUGE at the moment and with festival season almost upon us. Its hot on trend to be wearing vintage,retro and customised pieces. A trend I have notice which I think will be particularly  festival chic. Is tassels. Its appeared in the Topshop basics range and in the vintage range recently, channelling indie boho. 

 

 









I've decided to start with the basic tee's as obviously we're wanting something that will trend with all of our wardrobe. 

Think Kate Moss, Siena Miller and Pixie Lott. I've had a go at my own which is the start of our vintage and customised. Retro range... So thoughts please fashionistas?!?

AMAZING MODELS ENTER REHAB SHOOT...


Now I absouloutly LOVE this photo set. Edgy as hell for vogue... but think Italian vogue. 
Agness Deyn, Gemma Kidd and up and coming poster girl Lara Stone. Not to mention the hills Justin Brescia, heart throb and a total regular on the party scene. 
The irony of these pictures is genius! 

Justin's a regular on the party scene in LA, so his presence brings the reality of these pictures home. The photographer has also used subtle forms of hilarity to emphasise the desperation of the press and the fall of the subject. 

In the first set (before) the models pose in numerous positions in which they have no underwear on. 

On first glance at the pictures they do present the desired  SHOCK factor. But in real term its nothing that we don't see on a regular basis in our news and gossip columns. 

The pictures tell the tale of success in the lime-light and bring the seriousness of the mater to light through the gritty after set aka. "the rehabilitation facilities" so many stars such as Britney and Lilo have managed to sell these facilities as the non serious drop in centre to there heavily publisized lives. See what you think but I just can't get enough of this...

PLUS SIZE... OR 'NORMALITY?"

Dubbed by much of the fashion industry as the rise of the plus size. Fashion is trying something a little bit different, but is it actually a plus size. The average size of the British woman is a size The average British dress size is 16 while the average woman’s height is 5ft 4 in. So it's funny how we've dubbed our average sizes a 'plus' attaching a great deal of stigma to them... I mean seriously these pics shouldn't be unusual to our eyes, after all its what we see most days, yet it shocks us and becomes something of great press interest. I mean take a gander, what do you think?







NORMALITY

SHOCK

SHOUT OUT...

So quite literally the shout out part of the blogg does exactly that. Although we want to mainly have a fashion rant... we think that a good piece of writing to get everybody rawled up would also lend its self to Dollface's style terrifically- so we've pinched this from the diary of Love life and Manolo's... cheers ears!

Stuck in a time warp? I think so, Ladies and non-patriarchal gentleman, please introduce yo Stuck yourselves to a man who claims to be a self help writter... I think not.


Dante Moore- The writter of 'The Re-education of the female- The sub-context of his helpfulness focuses on how women should spend much more time being a good housewife, and building a shrine for her husband. While this may be your thoughts Dante, I think you seriously need to re-educate and get in touch with the noughties, sweetie. This isn't the 1950's, It is not cool, to chain perspective wives/girlfriends to a sink or yourself for that matter. Bless him, this guy clearly has no idea of the female psyche, hence the fact that the poor guys never been married.



Surprised??? We think not. Dante manages to successfully pigeon hole weight categories of different races and ethnicity's and then advice them of what their weight should fall under if they want to ''Be in a relationship.'' He makes the most amusing sweeping statements such as '' African-American women are naturally large and suggests if the haven't got anything going for them, then it is imperative that they stay bellow a size ten.'' He then uses his Patriarchal influence to question whether god made Eve fat- giving us an evaluation of no to this. I'm sorry did we miss something? did you meet EVE? 





Dante, Dante, Dante... Tut tut tut- This is not honest, nor is it true- instead it just places you into a pigeon hole... of an 'ignorant b*****.' The most ironic thing about his 'self help and guidance' is that lets be honest that the black and white picture you have so gladly posed for on the back of your book , makes women think. 'Aww poor thing' and that Dante is the irony of your truth.
