I'm a Kane girl

Hello everyone! Errr yeah so a bit has been happening, school mostly is hectic blah blah blah sameoldstory.

I know a while ago I said I would make my blog a bit less fashion-y, but frankly I was lying. I just saw this and I had to. It was like a message came from above in the form of this collection.

Of course its Kane! I believe he is the emperor of all things ugly. Look at the colour of the first dress. My gran has carpets that colour. And also the weird lace trimming is so incredibly vile that I feel very attracted to it. The use of print is something I wasn't too keen on, combined with the piping surrounding various areas. Like some of the dresses have the piping around the bust and straps, nah mate, as they say in ghost world, its gone past the line of bad into good and then gone a little bit further back into bad again. Sad but true. See the whole collection here.

Also before I go I just have to add that I am now friends with Hannah Hanra on facebook. I'm never going to talk to her, but it's the thought that counts.

Act Da Fool

Here is the Harmony Korine directed film for Proenza Schouler. To be honest, I'm not digging the clothes or the film. I mean the collection in itself is dissapointing, the paint splat trousers look tacky to me and the jackets just aren't doing it for me. Of course it has the obligitary hushed voice whispery narration of a Harmony Korine film, nothing new is it really. However I do like it that the girls are normal people and not models, and the place its set is super crummy. I dunno it's kind of intruging. Well i suggest you watch it just to make up your own mind, it's not very long so you might as well.

This Charming Man

Hello there everyone, another day another post. Menswear seems to be taking a new direction away from shitty suits (although there is still obviously many out there) and breaking into new ground. And by new ground I mean they take colours and materials from womens wear and totally man them up. Well not that much, but recently I've found myself more attracted to menswear than womens wear, i think it might be a sign. I'm not sure what of, but oh well.

Anyway here are some lovely things...

3.1 Phillip Lim. Alright so obviously you've got the leather auburn jacket and shorts, which are reminding me very much of celine (anyone else agree here?). The necklace on the first picture too, something that i've noticed appearing in a few of the shows. And shorts that are shorter than what is socially acceptable. Also note the paisley beige sweater in the middle which should be a disaster but is just so nice. Richard Chai. First off I have to begin with the socks and sandals. Totally doing it for me I am afraid to admit. I think it's about time that a bit of the old man in everyone came out and said hello. Necklaces again. Also, the pattern clashing works very well, expecially in the second look with the peach and grey shorts with the striped blue shirt. AND finally my favourite bit the khaki mesh insert top. I would wear that. For true.

Rag&Bone. I love them anyway because their womenswear is spot on, but the menswear just adds to the love if I'm honest. The mish mash of weird shapes and colours, it's just so unstylish it's stylish. The last outfit is probably my favourite, i never thought red and camel would go so well together. And the long camel shirt, takes a bit of getting used to because it looks like some sort of religious clothing, but that's cool.

Also I has noticed from many of the shows a strong military/workwear vibe, but contrasted with necklaces and delicate shoes rather than big chunky boots. For some reason I feel very refreshed by s/s 11 menswear, it seems to be expanding the colour palate and shapes, working with new materials and ideas. I don't think my writing has been this happy in months, I just finally found something to be happy about.

Alright then I best be off, a toasted crumpet awaits.

The world looks red

Acne s/s 2011

I have no words today.

Thumbs up.

Hello. I posted yesterday, but frankly it was shit so i deleted it. So today I thought i would post again, about Pop. I am so in love with this magazine, its better than Lula for me because it's quite dark and more styled, and it has better layouts and more interesting pages than Love, Purple etc. AND it came with a sticker sheet this time. Actual stickers.Anyway, of course I have to post pictures of my favourite spread. Thats what I always do. So favourite this time, after much deliberation, is Rome, Savage with Eniko Mihalik and Tetyana Melnychuk...I LOVE POLONECKS. I bought one the other day and the first comment I received was 'Amy has come dressed at a vicar'. I took it as a compliment. Styling is always good, goes without saying to be honest. This spread is very luxurious, lots of fur, lace and elaborate jewels. It's pretty sweet, the whole magazine is. So go out and buy it. I should so work in advertising.

p.s RADICOOL WAS 1 YEAR OLD ON THE 5TH!can you believe it? I've managed to write about a load of rubbish for a year.

WEDGE

Hi there. I started 6th form 2 days ago, freaks the fuck outta me to be honest. Hopefully it'll get better and i will be a little less akward and hating everything i chose (hello i took drama therefore i must be 'bubbly' and 'hyper'...errr i hate you). Anyway I bought these wedges and i love them.This picture doesnt do them justice. They are possibly the best shoes i have ever owned. But if only they were...

I've been in love with Acne wedges for way too long. It feels like a lifetime. So some cheap rip-offs will have to fill the void until eventually i have the money or when they go out of fashion. In about two weeks.

Eleonore gee i think you're swell...

Street style blogs. I visit far too many. And nearly all the time my favourites are the swedish/danish minimalist ones, which is nothing new, everyone knows they are way cool (possibly more than londoners and the french?) but when I was on Copenhagen Street Style I saw this picture of Eleonore... I think she is like the cutest ever. I read her blog and it just is so nice. She has such good style, and it is proper style, not just fashion following...


And on the note of those beautiful miu miu socks, i bid you farewell.

london is too cool for me

today i went shopping for clothes for 6th form (!) and shit so here are the many outfits i have purchased! they all have names that i think fit them fairly well.the 'im a blogger and i like black and i like to be comfy (also i am a little bit pretentious)' outfitthe 'i am leading the 90s comeback by watching too much daria on youtube' outfitthe 'i can't think of a name for this outfit but i wanted to include it because i like the colours' outfit

thankyou and goodnight

stop trying to be courtney love/taylor momsen/alexa chung

Most of this is fuelled by tumblr, because everyone on it think they are so damn rad because they can emulate the 'style' of the afforementioned 'idols'. Well they are shit and so are you.

1. Courtney LoveHere's the thing, without Kurt Cobain she would be nothing. I don't just mean not famous, I mean absolutely nothing, living in a gutter sucking whiskey out of a damp old bar napkin. So she was in Hole, possibly one of the most talked about yet not actually listened to bands of all time, they are shit. Don't even get me started on her 'style', cause honestly I will never stop. Although kudos to her, she doesn't take anyone's shit and she can handle herself. Also she wrote this, devastatingly nonsensical tweet aimed at Taylor Momsen which I like, because she basically tells her to stop being such a TIT...@taylorxmomson shut the FUCK up you overpriveliged bratty bitch that picked on every freak in high school mention my name again? BAM… is that youyr name? i dont watch tv or read teen mags and gossip rags so i wouldnt know, do NOT still “like my music”please… if i was pissy about every chick that every bit me id be busy indeed your just annoyingly cloyingly wrong.WORKWITHYRHANDS… oh btw i doubt it would be from me that BAM, i think it would be from every “freak” and Fag” in high school you ever picked on. Christ!UGH.

2. Taylor Momsen

Oh look, it's Taylor Momsen! She didn't just change to this 'punk glam-goth' because her character on gossip girl did, oh no, she changed because it was who she really is. And her band are so cool and edgy, no one her age gets her because she is so complex, so her band is made up of middle aged men.Dear lord. She is 16, granted we are the same age, but she has absolutley no clue about anything. She wore a babydoll. Shock horror. Then she wore stripper shoes. Just bad taste. Then her tampon string hung out and she showed the world things they really didn't need to see. Seriously?Yes, she attempts to act older than she is, ultimately backfiring and making her look like a childish wannabe. Taylor Momsen, you are not so different, you were in Gossip Girl and the Grinch, and your band makes me want to die. Oh the irony, thats one of their song titles. Inventive.

3. Alexa Chung

I like Alexa Chung, when she presented T4 it brightened up my saturday morning. What I don't like is all the 'Chung-ettes' I see everywhere. I understand if people would like to take inspiration, but honestly an entire outfit? And haircut!? And mannerisms?! I don't understand how this Alexa admiration has gotten to such a level...she was just a presenter on T4!!!

Well that was fun.

Paris

Why the hell are the French all so chic? They are truely beautiful people. Jealous.

WHERE IS ALL THE COOL NEW STUFF?

Hello everyone! God i haven't blogged properly in ages, it's nice to write something for a change rather than just copy other peoples stuff on tumblr (whats up with that? it encourages copying!)

Anyway, I've been searching high and low for cool new stuff, and I just can't find anything. Hence the title.

So I searched to try and find something amazing and new and something that would totally blow you away...unfortunately all I found was all this different menswear which i unashamedly fell in love with. First is Liberty...These SWEET brogues are H? Katsukawa from Tokyo

I love the star print ones and the black ones which look kinda messy. And these are from London belongs to Paris...

I know they are like stereotypical indie hipster boy uniforms, but thats pretty hot. So on that note, I will bid you adieu.

Dress like a boy, its alot more fun than dressing like a boring old girl (:

VLOG

hello! well yeah i just made a vlog for the first time EVER. ahhhhh. its a bit shit, and i mumble quite a lot, but yeah here it is...

Oh and also, the cows lick and hair situation i have going on is because of the humidity, i hate it, but it cannot be controlled.

Chloe Sevigny for Opening Ceremony

hey there. i have study leave now so basically im not really doing anything. gcses are nearly over man, its kinda weird that everything we've been working towards for the last 2 years is just basically done.

Well anyway, above is my favourites from Chloe Sevigny for Opening Ceremony Resort 2011 (!). I think the silhouettes are just perfect, especially the last dress, it has nice sleeves.

It's too hot

Hello! I'm so sorry for my bad bad posting skills, right now it's good old GCSE time so everything else in life has to take a back seat for a while. But today is a lovely day right? If you're in England that is, apparently it's hotter than Greece right now. I am frazzling to death.
Anyway, Meadham Kirchhoff for Topshop.
I like the colours of the whole collection (basically just black and nude) plus the dresses are super nice. The bottom one is my favourite, i like the mix of sequins and lace,it's pretty unusual and it works.Not cheap obviously but what can you do?
Bye xx

Miss Unkon (its a shame the name is a bit naff)

From their s/s 10 lookbook, i love the colours, everything looks like its from the past.
