Let It Rock

I've noticed lately that i've started using this blog as more of an online outfit journal than a place for me to post ideas and tips for looks, so to the very few readers who do actually bother to read my blog, i'm sorry.

I'm going to get back to what I initially intended to do with this thing and post my ideas and tips in the next entry.

Ok. I've started, so I may as well continue . . .

As most people are aware, yesterday was Valentines Day. The ever so commercialised day where everyone is encouraged and expected to buy cards, cheap toys and flowers for their loved ones. Contrived and twisted mainly by manufacturers to make a quick buck. It's funny to think that the origins of this day began all those years ago with the killing of a martyr. Not the most romantic beginning to a story.

This wasn't the outfit I wore yesterday, but it ties in well with my current post.

Headband: Vivienne Westwood

T-shirt: 'Let it Rock', Vivienne Westwood

Trousers: Joggers, All Saints

Boots: Boxing Boots

When I put this look together, i was having a bit of a 'lazy day'. The joggers are from All Saints womens department (Somewhere i'd recommend everyone to take a look, but i'll go into that later) and have a corsetted back to the waistband, which you can tighten to your own comfort, it makes them a little more quirky, as well as the 6 small buttons down the front, which are completely aesthetic. They are mega cozy.

The t-shirt is yet another one from Vivienne Westwood. I love her slogans, prints and style, but lately have realised that she is becoming a lot more commercial. I think i'm going to stop buying her t-shirts and only really save my money for the pieces which are more unusual, quirky and unique.

These boxing boots have caused quite a stir here in France. A few weeks ago I wasn't allowed into a bar. My students constantly stare at them. I've even had people shaking their heads at me in the street. My problem is that i fail to see what the dispute is with them? I just put it down to the lack of 'creative influence' in others.

Womens Wear
I mentioned before about the womens section of All Saints. Whenever Ben and I go shopping, we always give the womens sections a quick scan also. You would be quite surprised at what you could find if you look hard enough, sometimes they even just jump out at you. Vests, trousers, t-shirts, even accessories and jewellery. I would totally recommend looking in both sections the next time you go shopping.
