Why I Love Peacocks… January 18, 2008
Posted by fashion in : balenciaga, bargin, blazer, military, peacocks , add a commentIt started pouring with rain when I was out on my lunch break today so on my way back to the office I popped into Peacocks to cheer myself up due to the fact my hair now resembled a disasterous cockscrew perm, given it’s ability to curl crazily at the slightest hint of any moisture in the air. I love Peacocks, it’s cheap and ok, it’s not exactley as fashion forward as Topshop, but if you have a little rummage you can find some amazing bargins. Today was my lucky day.
I’ve been after a Balenciaga style blazer for ages after repeatedly seeing THE jacket of the season over and over again in magazines. Loads of copies started appearing in shops but one of the best, and most affordable, was the £20 dark blue blazer from Peacocks. Obvioously it sold out straight away and every time I went in to have a look they were either all gone or there were none that fitted me. I pretty much gave up hope of getting one, after all it’s been about a month now since they first came in.
Then I went into Peacocks today, and behold, there was a beautiful dark blue blazer with nice gold buttons in all its glory. And yes! there was one left in my size too. Who cares about the rain now - I have THE jacket! I had a little look around the rest of the shop but to be honest I was more excited about getting back to the office and showing it off.
But wait, it gets better. When I went to pay for it I was politely informed by the sales assisstant that it has now gone down to £10. So it’s not just a blazer, it’s a bargin blazer.
Definitely made my lunchtime a whole lot better.
Chloe Bags: Paddington v Bay January 16, 2008
Posted by fashion in : chloe, designer, fashion, handbag, labels, paddington , add a commentChloe are well known for their to-die-for handbags and their latest Bay number is set to be a huge hit, however I am a long time lover of the old favourite Paddington bag………….
Chloe Bay, £886
Chloe Paddington, £924
There’s just something about a Chloe Paddington that makes my heart melt in true irrational girly style. The softness of the leather and charm of the lock and key design gets me everytime. Also on a practical note…it’s big enough to hold my entire life! The Bay is also pretty cool but it just lacks that wow factor that first made me fall in love with the Paddington…..so it’s gonna take something a bit more special to steal my affections.
Pamela Anderson Chavs It Up for New Year January 4, 2008
Posted by fashion in : chanel, chav, designer, fashion, labels, new year's eve, pamela anderson , add a commentWe know Pamela Anderson isn’t really known for her style but this example of label whoring is the worst I’ve seen for a while………
Not only has Pammy broken the infamous ‘cleavge OR legs’ rule but she’s made the outfit even more trashy by sporting a huge Chanel label across her front! Someone of her age should know better.
Yes we know your millions can buy you a Chanel dress but to be honest Pam you look more like a chav in a knock off they bought off a fella in the local pub. Money really can’t buy you taste!
