Mad Hatter

2010-01-13T10:11:00.000-08:00

With Alice in Wonderland coming out in a few months I'm hoping someone will pick up a whole line inspired by the movie. Like what Urban Outfitters did with Where the Wild Things Are. Except we really don't need totally overpriced lookalike outfits from the movie like those ridiculous footie pajamas that made you look like Max. Tea party dresses, lots of tulle, high socks and thin headbands. Alice in Wonderland has some style. The outfits are sure to be even better in this version though since it's real life. Maybe everyone will take a cue from the Mad Hatter and women will start sporting top hats to complete their ensemble.

Big Beautiful Rings are coming back this season. Blumarine had some gorgeous ones in their new ad campaign but sadly I could not get my hands on an online picture.

The rings in this photo from a Teen Vogue shoot are breathtaking.

Sorry my posting has been a bit lacking lately, unfortunately I'm going through the whole 'how do I decide which college to go to' fiasco and it is keeping me quite busy.

In my spare time however I keep gravitating back to this one website that ALL of you need to check out. I've already added it to my favorite links at the top of my internet page and I literally check it out every morning before I go to school. The site is called StyleCaster and it is absolutely revolutionary.
In some unbelievable happenstance StyleCaster stumbled upon my little fashion blog here and liked what they saw, and now not only are they linking my blog to their fabulous website, I'm also writing for them and they have given me a special VIP link to share with all of you!

So how StyleCaster works is you basically set up your own profile and your location and everyday it will tell you the weather forecast and then recommend three different outfits according to the weather. And the more you use the website the better it gets! You can browse through pieces of clothing, everything from H&M to the latest Dolce and Gabbana dress and let them know what you like and don't like and as they get a feel for your style the outfits recommended each day will also change to suit your style. (They being the website in general).

You can read up on all the latest fashion news and events, chat with fellow fashionistas as well as experienced professionals in the world of fashion. Trust me this website is everything you think plus more. For all the people who saw Clueless and were incredibly jealous of Cher and her electronic closet that could help her pick out her outfits, now you can have all she did, plus more.

This site isn't even launched yet so check out this link and start creating your own profile. This is almost bigger than getting a front seat at a Chanel show at Paris Fashion Week, trust me, this is huge.

2009-03-21T10:54:00.000-07:00

Yesterday was an incredibly busy day for me. I started off the morning with an early train into the city and over to Columbia for a Journalism Conference for high schoolers from all over the country. I actually went to a session about how bloggers may be the main source of information for the future. We may be much more powerful than we ever thought, hah. It was an interesting conference though and as soon as it was done I left for a much more saddening event.
I attended a funeral service for two women that I grew up with and admired above all else. Their lives were cut short by a hit and run. The service was really beautiful and was more of a celebration of their time and their overwhelming contribution to the community. A lot of the service focused on appreciation, how to truly appreciate things before they are gone. We take so many things for granted every day and I want to try to learn how to change that. I have no idea how I will accomplish that but the hurt that comes from taking something for granted is immeasurable. Those two women meant such a great deal to me and were so influential in my childhood, but at the time they were really helping me, I had no idea. And I think that's what made them so special. They were both librarians who helped with children, small children who don't even feel the effect of their warm nurturing until they are much older, their work was done without instant gratification which seems so rare in today's world. My generation seems to always be looking for confirmation and ways to make things faster. These women did so much and it makes me so terribly sad that there are so many children who will never be able to meet them. However they did create a wonderful legacy that has and will continue to inspire others to follow in their example, in a world where children spend hours upon hours in front of a television, watching mindless shows or playing gory video games, we can barely stand to lose anyone who can successfully spread the wonder and importance of books and of stories. They will continue to be with us and their incredible spirit will still spread through the hearts of everyone they touched in their time with us.

Both women were also full of style and class and one of them probably started my passion for crazy patterns and exploding colors.

I also went to a Hasty Pudding show last night in the city. It was all actors from Harvard University and they were fabulous. Renee Zellweger was there as well and she was wearing these crazy tall shoes. I would have taken a picture but I didn't want to seem creepy.

Oh and I found my graduation dress today! I'm so happy the hunt is over, it is not easy finding an all white, below the knee, 'appropriate' dress...now I just have to find some all white shoes...
I am also thinking of cutting my hair shorter again but I can't decide if I want to let it grow out more first. The people I've asked so far have urged me to cut it short, apparently I look a bit older and more mature with short hair...and it is easier to manage, what do you think?

I like Kimberly Stewart's hair a lot but I'm not sure if I want to go this short..

Samaire Armstrong's hair is really cute as well..

Or maybe I'll just cut it similar to how I had it a few years ago..

And now on to the outfit I wore yesterday...

In the last photo you can see the huge lipstick smear I got from the Hasty Pudding actor who kissed my cheek.

Oscars

2009-02-26T17:55:00.000-08:00

Sorry this is late...just wanted to post a little bit about Oscars fashion this year. Overall I thought it was pretty good, very old Hollywood glamour with a soft romantic side. The jewelery was kept to a minimum but the pieces that were seen were gorgeous and bold. The overall Oscars were pretty good, Hugh Jackman I love so anything he did was hard not to like. The opening was well done too, especially Anne Hathaway's part.

Oh and these aren't in any paticular order. Kate Winslet in Atelier Yves Saint Laurent by Stefano Pilati. The asymmetrical single strap was so understated and looked gorgeous on her. The color looked great as well with her skin tone. The dress seems unpredictable with pieces that look like an afterthought but fit in so well. The black tulle on the side adds so much to the dress and covers the fact that she only wears earrings, any more would have have taken away too much.

Amanda Seyfried in Valentino Haute Couture. I loved the color on her because it was reminiscent of bold Marilyn Monroe style however I'm always unsure about whether or not I like the big bows on dresses. I feel like a dress can always stand on its own without a bow, and if it's too big it's a little Minnie Mouse-ish.

After Party photo...Jessica Alba's dress looks very casual, hope it was just for the party. Kate Bosworth's dress is gorgeous and flattering but I don't know about the hairstyle, she kind of looks like a nine year old boy..

Gwen Stefani's dress is soooo fabulous! It's so original, I don't know who made it so if anyone does please let me know. It looks almost like coral at the top..like something The Little Mermaid would wear if she went out to a black tie event on the arm of her handsome prince.

Angelina Jolie in Elie Saab. She always tends to go for strapless dresses to award shows and of course she always looks very elegant but I was hoping she would change it up at least a little. And a black dress at the Oscars? Her green earrings stand out and are gorgeous but I think she could have picked something a little more original.

Another in Elie Saab was Evan Rachel Wood. She always looks so much older than she is. I think that her style has actually improved since she went out with Marilyn Monroe she started following in the trend of Dita Von Teese and the look really works for her.

Anne Hathaway in Georgio Armani, she's so cute, she looks like a little mermaid..I don't understand why she changed for the beginning of the Oscars, I know she had to sing and dance but I don't really like the dress she changed into.

She is a surprisingly good singer though.

Beyonce is awesome for wearing this dress. House of Dereon. It looks a little bit like a curtain that was turned into a dress but I love that it hugs her curves and comes out at the bottom, it looks gorgeous on her and she wasn't afraid that she wouldn't look like a stick like everyone else and for that she is fabulous.

Frieda Pinto in John Galliano looks so gorgeous!!! She's so pretty, I haven't even seen Slumdog Millionaire now but I can't wait to. Apparently there was controversy over what she wore because people thought she should have worn a Sari to represent India however I don't think she had to, I'm sure she could have found a gorgeous Sari but the dress she wore suited her perfectly.

Another after party photo. Eva Longoria, Victoria Beckhan and Dita Von Teese. Dita looks amazing as per usual but I felt like Ms.Beckham kind of fell flat, at such a large scale party she should have worn something daring and original...maybe like Dita..? But it's not that fair that I judge it because I can only see the top.

Leslie Mann in Pamella Roland, she totally pulls this dress off. Quite a few of these dresses are Little Mermaid-esque, how much does this look like the glittery dress she wears at the end of the movie when she turns into a human? And also I had no idea she was married to Judd Apatow...cute.

MY FAVORITE!! Natalie Portman in Rodarte. She looks so soft and romantic in the flowing pink dress. It's such a princess-y color and she looks absolutely perfect.

Penelope Cruz in vintage Balmain. She looks so much like Audrey Hepburn in this dress with her hair up, I'm so glad she won, her speech was one of the best.

Who would have thought? Miley Cyrus in Zuhair Murad looks stunning. So beautiful! And so mature! She really stole the show in this dress.

and Heath won! I'm so glad he did, I still get teary whenever I think about him and the acceptance of his mom, dad, and sister was really sentimental. And his sister is so gorgeous, did anyone else think so?

Today was definitely one of those blah Mondays that disguised itself as a Tuesday. So I threw on a red plaid oversized shirt I bought from a thrift store recently expecting to be able to wear it as a dress though unfortunately it was wayyy too short for social standards. So I put a black Anthropologie dress under it which actually gave it more volume at the bottom..belted it with an old brown belt of my mother's, and added black tights and brown worn-in cowboy boots. It turned out much better than expected. You can't actually tell the shirt is plaid in the full pictures so I threw a close up one in so you could see the pattern.

I know this happened a while ago but I'm really glad Kirsten Dunst was chosen to be the spokesperson for this line of clothes. She has such an edgy distinct look and I think she pulls off these looks very well. I haven't seen these clothes anywhere though, does anyone know where they are sold? Wish I could post more but I am swamped by homework, I believe everyone who told me being a second semester senior in high school was easy was totally and completely lying.....

I apologize for my teenage angst

2009-02-08T15:43:00.001-08:00

I just need to rant a little bit at how angry I am for not being organized enough to volunteer early for the New York Fashion Week. I just tried to email but the volunteer office has closed. If there is anyone out there with any kind of advice or help for how to attend Fashion Week please please let me know.
Thanks

Also I'm listening to Staring at the Sun by TV on the Radio and it's awesome..

Manhattan Vintage Clothing Show

2009-02-08T15:33:00.001-08:00

So this weekend I finally took a trip into the city to go shopping instead of just seeing friends, something I haven't done in ages, dumb recession...anyway I went to the Manhattan Vintage Clothing Show for the first time at the Metropolitan Pavilion and it was amazinggggg. There were heaps and heaps of clothes, I was so utterly overwhelmed. Unfortunately I wasn't allowed to take pictures in there but trust me it was massive. Tons of vintage stores from all over the city set up stalls and bring in some of their best vintage clothing. The prices ranged from reasonable to insane but for the most part it wasn't too bad. I went in trying to find a white dress for my graduation, no one will ever know why my school is forcing us to graduate in 'appropriate' all white dresses but I'm already fighting a losing battle against them....that quest proved to be quite unsuccessful. But not for lack of trying. I did find quite a few cute dresses but all the sizes are so deceptively small. Many of them look like they would fit easily but each piece is about two sizes smaller than you would guess. The other problem was that in this huge room there were only two dressing rooms which weren't really rooms at all rather just sheets hung up against a corner. But I did enjoy walking around looking at all the different clothes imaging where people wore them and who wore them once upon a time.

Some of the clothes were utterly ridiculous so trying to think of a back story for them was quite amusing. I'm also a little bit suspect of whether or not all the clothes are actually vintage because in one stall I found a cardigan that still had an Anthropologie tag on it. Antropologie was only started in 1992 so even if it is that old, which it didn't seem to be, that's not really what I would consider vintage. I did purchase a beautiful old ring, its a gold band with an opal surrounded by little diamonds. It's gorgeous.
So the show was only two days so any of you I have enticed to go..well you can't..but there will be another one on April 24th and 25th and then another in October.

1950s Pinup Girl Reincarnated in Katy Perry

2009-02-05T19:37:00.000-08:00

Katy Perry has such a quirky fun style. It's as if she has created this intricate character to go along with her famous-self yet she never breaks it..I have never seen pictures of her wearing anything other than her usual retro attire.

Another reason I really admire her is because she is not too drastically thin.
She really does look reminiscent of Pinup girls from the 1950s and pulls it off beautifully.
I have no idea where she gets all those clothes from and whether or not she gets them made especially for her but other celebs just can't pull off the look.

Thirteen is a Lucky Number

2009-02-04T16:59:00.000-08:00

At least for Olivia Wilde. Her new role on House as part of his team has gained her a lot more publicity. She is very feminine and delicately beautiful. Apparently she was considered as the Bond girl for the Casino Royale movie but Eva Green ended up getting it. She always chooses beautiful flowing gowns that compliment her small figure.

She doesn't focus a lot on accessories and that works well for her.

She is definitely one of those people who could look good in a potato sack yet she does not just throw things on expecting them to look good. It seems like she really spends time looking for hues that compliment her skin tone and fits that work well.

This is by far my favorite dress I have seen her in. It is the epitome of understated elegance. She is radiating and can pull off all the ruffles because of her figure. I only wish I could pull that off.

Try-Hards

2009-01-11T15:30:00.000-08:00

What the hell is Urban Outfitter's trying to accomplish with their catalogues? It seems as though they are trying to be Abercrombie and Fitch or American Apparel. Their latest catalogue barely shows off the clothes at all. There is actually one picture of a naked girl with a quilt in the background and that's the only thing they're advertising. Why do they need a naked girl in the picture as well, if they're marketing this towards teenage girls I don't really understand the thinking behind that. It is becoming an art magazine instead of a clothing catalogue. Sure the pictures are pretty but I really don't understand why they have to be so arty, they're not being original, they're following other companies who have tried to sell clothing by featuring barely clothed models. If this works I'll be highly surprised, I want the old catalogues back!

So I'm watching a rerun of the new 90210 on the CW, my first episode and I'm already hooked, this is gonna be as bad as the Gossip Girl phenomenon, just as intense, and of course, the clothes are just as fabulous. The clothes on this show are much younger and obtainable, not the same as all the designer labels seen on Gossip Girl. My favorite is Silver (the dark brunette girl) because she's got a unique, colorful and quirky style. The main character Annie also looks great, wearing Urban Outfitters and H&M and the other main girl Naomi who is more prone to be wearing Chanel earrings but still looks fabulous.

"Fashion can be bought. Style one must possess."

2008-09-03T14:33:00.000-07:00

The words of Edna Woolman Chase seem to be enough to inspire me to begin my blog once again, I know this is my second time returning from la-la land with promises to upkeep my poor neglected blog but I shall try much harder this time. Besides, most of my friends have left me for college and what better way to procrastinate homework and college apps than blog about the cute shirt I saw yesterday or how great so and so looked at some award show. Besides "Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening." - Coco Chanel. I fully agree, fashion isn't just the outfit you wear, it's why you wear it, how you came up with it, where you wear it, and how it can change your mood. Fashion is a hobby, a lifestyle, an idea, the future, the past, the present, fashion is everywhere, and I love it.
So I am going to ease myself back into this blogging thing and just babble on about a few of my favorite inspirations at the moment.

Peaches Geldof is hit or miss, sometimes she looks great and her style is much more realistic for teenage girls because she isn't always stepping out drowning in name brands like Chanel or Zac Posen, although I don't know if British celebrities wear much Zac Posen...Peaches' sister Pixie has a great style, maybe just because its a little bit closer to mine but I haven't seen an outfit on her that I have disliked..

However I just found a picture of Peaches Geldof and this girl named Daisy Lowe..? Has anyone else heard of her, the name doesn't ring a bell but I loooove her outfit in this picture, especially with the hot pink Doc Martens, they're amazing.

Well, after some further investigation I found out she's the daughter of Gavin Rossdale and is very cool..and fashionable, I'll write more about her later..as well as how much I love Rihanna extending the star tattoo down her back.
xoxo
J'adore Chanel.

Rugging up for Wintertime

2007-11-01T12:48:00.000-07:00

I love the 80's. Despite the huge hair and ridiculous blue eyeshadow, there are so many trends from the 80's that I want to make a reappearance, and many others which already have, high-waisted skirts and pants....and the latest to show up on the streets of New York..leg warmers. I. Love. Them.
There are some people who may think this trend should stay back in the 80s but I love the way they look and despite what most people think they actually do help in keeping you slightly warmer. Slightly.
I don't think Urban Outfitters has started selling them again yet but I do know that American Apparel is complete with eleven different colours for only $14 each.

Pairing them with converse with coloured tights and a cute dress is becoming hard to stay away from. This week I found myself wanting to pull on the leg warmers with every single outfit, but I stopped myself, making sure I didn't go against my fashion rules of repetition.

Also, anyone who has a good idea for a costume party this weekend let me know, i'm looking for something cute that becomes sexy, like a sexier snow white or something..

2007-07-30T07:26:00.000-07:00

one of the sexiest men i have seen like a foot away from my face...far out
james morrison is a sex god
for those of you who weren't aware, hopefully you will be now
his album undiscovered is a hidden treasure...and every single song is even better up close and personal,
plus i saw him in this wicked little venue in nyc that was full of women who see him as an...'dreamboat'? i mean he is, obviously, but still it was funny to see all these mum's in there, and there were no guys there that had not been dragged along by an obsessed girlfriend
the show was opened by jessie baylin who was actually pretty good, but her set was extremely long for an opening act, and the annoyed/anxious/excited buzz of everyone who just wanted to see james morrison could be heard during her singing.
james opened with undiscovered and strummed his gorgeous guitar with a full band behind him who you could tell, were there for the music, and especially the keyboard player didn't care how insane he looked as he played, each one clearly was so into the music making it an unbelievable concert in all aspects,
james had this way of talking to the crowd as well, in his amazing british accent, that gave it the atmosphere it needed

it was indescribable and i never ever wanted it to end

Barney's let me down!?!?!

2007-06-25T16:53:00.000-07:00

obviously all my friends living in london have already been down to topshop to buy clothing from the kate moss line, and i heard that it was coming to new york at Barneys, but when i looked, it was such simple clothing, where are the vests? and the flower printed dresses? and the EXCITING clothing. i was quite angry that barneys seemed to only stock a few of the basics.
maybe they'll get more in. but maybe not.

a little more glamorous?

2007-06-25T16:46:00.000-07:00

so.. i know its summer but that doesn't mean people will stop wearing jeans, and i've been listening to the controversy following high-waisted jeans for some time, for some reason i'm oddly attracted to them but you have to have the right ones i think, or maybe i'm totally off.

you are somebody's princess

ok so 1. i'm leaving for SYDNEY in eight dayssssssssssss. i'm sooo excited, the city, the boys, the fashion, plus all my gorgeous friends, i cannot wait.
plus home of one of my favourite labels ever, ie sass and bide.

plus the aussie boys are to die for, if you haven't been i highly reccomend it.

2. my absolute favourite movie is the notebook, i know that basically every teenage girl says that but its my movie, especially since my name is allie as well and i spell it the same way she does in the movie just fyi, lol, and i have cried, actually that's a lie, i have bawled each of the, at least thirty, times i have watched that movie. plus i'm searching for a hottie named noah. haha.

3. my one truly distinguishing and recognizable feature is my big blue eyes, that's usually what people remember most about me.

4. at the moment i'm in love with paolo nutini, james morrison, and andrew stockdale.
paolo for his unbelieveable accent and good looks, james for his lyrics and andrew for his insanely hectic hair. andrew stockdale is the lead singer of wolfmother by the way, best band EVER if you haven't already heard of them. download 'jenny don't be hasty' by paolo nutini. 'this boy' by james morrison. and 'mind's eye' by wolfmother.

paolo nutini

james morrison

andrew stockdale.

5. i eat peanut butter with ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING. yes everything..apples, bananas, ice cream, nutella, cheese, pasta...the list gets even grosser from there lol.

6. i want THESE:

gold ray-bans. i'm in love.

7. hmmmm oh ok, most commonly i get told i look like these people:

ahhaa i love the last one.

ok now onto the fashion blogs again! yay.

and especially now things with my family are a bit rocky but i'm working things out so its all ok,
i'm off to work at the moment, serving coffee to people who demand perfection, oh joy
but i do promise to put some more fashion posts up tonight
thanks so much to those who said they missed my posts or asked why i had fallen off the face of the earth
it really brightened my day ;)
and gave me a much needed burst of creative inspiration

ttyl,

junior prom..

2007-05-08T18:02:00.000-07:00

so i promised to post the picture of my actual prom dress after prom because i didn't end up wearing that gold french connection one so here's the one i wore, its not a big name dress but it was gorgeous and sooo comfortable, i ended up dancing with my date all night long..

i'm on the left..and unfortunately you can't see the back of the dress (which is the best part) in these pictures so i'll try to upload another one soon where you can see the back

(i'm on the left) my best friend to the right of me is wearing one of my dresses too ;)

paolo is my sweet sunshine

2007-05-08T17:54:00.000-07:00

so...a few of you have asked who that sexy boy is that is in my weekly obsession section
and basically he's not just my weekly obsession
he's my every single day obsession
and his name is paolo nutini
he's this new scottish singer and he hasn't been around for long so if you don't know who he is already, you basically NEED to find out.
He opened for the Stones in 2006 and his first album
"These Streets" recently came out in America.
He's nineteen, he's hot, and his lyrics are insane.
He's also been called the next James Blunt and been compared to Jeff Buckley.
Basically I love him, and well, you should too.
and you should also join my facebook group about him: http://hs.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2291158888
its open so if u have facebook then u can join it automatically
ahh he's sooo hot and i love just allll of the songs on his album
we need to start a petition bringing him over to tour in america..
and if you don't love him alreadyy.. these pictures should change your mind..

Fcuk.

2007-04-15T18:49:00.001-07:00

i love the name of french connection, its like a dare. just begging you to try to pronounce it but everyone always does it wrong hah.

so i went to bloomingdales to buy a dress for prom and i bought this french connection one but once i got home i decided that it wasn't formal enough..and possibly not, well, flattering enough i suppose but here's a picture of it anyway, i actually took it back and bought a different one but i don't want to post the picture of that just yet, i won't even let my date see it, although he's dying to, its like a wedding dress haha.

Sweet, sugar, candy man

2007-04-08T15:15:00.000-07:00

red skinny jeanssss. gorgeous. and red.
fire engine red.
doesn't get much better.

(Tarzan and Jane were swingin' on a vine

s'cute though xxxxx

next top...model?

2007-04-08T15:02:00.000-07:00

i have to say so far i haven't found this season of top model to be nearly as good as last years,
i guess its just because there's no uberbitch like gorgeous melrose to make it interesting or anyone as crazy as caridee, although i have to say jael is pretty out there..i loved watching the twins last year as well and how they transformed in their photographs, and as much as i didn't like eugena she always managed to do something that looked really nice like that shot with the bull..
but so far my favourite has to be natasha though..i liked her from the start, i think she's gorgeous and she's quite funny too, not a bitch like renee although renee is actually quite pretty

plastic princess

2007-04-08T14:53:00.000-07:00

i love this new twist on aviators, and the thin plastic frame really suits jessica's face here, i've bought pairs in green and blue so far and my friend just bought me a red pair
i'm also very much in love with ray-bans at the moment
so if anyone has good information on where to buy
them please let me know one of my gorgeous friends just bought me a wicked pair of plastic red aviators
they look a bit like this but they've got white stripes on the sides..i don't have a picture
because they were shipped over from australia and for some insane reason no one
does online shopping there so the stores don't have websites..

Spring = time for sherbert and gelato.

2007-02-28T19:34:00.000-08:00

I love the cool spring colours of these Zac Posen dresses.

that man is actually genius.

love it.

Sunnies. Doesn't matter that it isn't Summertime.

2007-02-28T18:28:00.000-08:00

Sunglasses are for all year long. Not just summertime.

Burberry:

Versace:
And for those who don't feel like spending hundreds and hundreds of dollars on sunnies i love these nine dollar ones from fredflare.com

xo

Glovessss. !!

2007-02-19T19:51:00.000-08:00

as seen on paris hilton,
and i don't always love what she wears but i think these are efforlessly elegant. while also a little bit biker chik. love it.

Out of Control or Misunderstood?

2007-02-18T16:46:00.000-08:00

Poor Brit.

apparently after she shaved it off herself she went and got two tattoos as well.

hasn't she got a best friend or someone to be right there for her?

hope she doesn't lose her kids, she's right on the edge of a breakdown. poor girl.

Scarlett Johansson= Cinderella

2007-02-18T14:46:00.000-08:00

ok so i found some of the first released pictures of annie lebowitz's new project for disney and found out that they feature scarlett johansson as cinderella. and she looks gorgeous. end of story.
i started sketching ideas for a line of gowns based on disney princess's, if i ever get around to attempting to make any i'll post pictures but for now this is a pretty good shot of what i would want mine to look like

and as if she isn't lucky enough to play cinderella in this photo shoot she got to play her with david beckham as prince charming. sometimes life can be insanely unfair.

Could the swimsuits of the 80s be making a comeback this summer?

2007-02-18T13:27:00.000-08:00

A lot of fashion trends from previous decades are being revisited at the moment like high-waisted skirts which can be really flattering, but other trends such as some of the cozzie's worn in the 1980s should probably remain a trend of the past. Unless they're as cute as this Betsey Johnson one piece,

while cut moderatly high at the leg they're relatively easy

to wear and can be really cute.
