love in the 80's

"Whatever happened to chivalry? Does it only exist in 80's movies? I want John Cusack holding a boombox outside my window. I wanna ride off on a lawnmower with Patrick Dempsey. I want Jake from Sixteen Candles waiting outside the church for me. I want Judd Nelson thrusting his fist into the air because he knows he got me. Just once I want my life to be like an 80's movie, preferably one with a really awesome musical number for no apparent reason. But no, no, John Hughes did not direct my life."

- Olive Penderghast, Easy A

Seriously...she totally nailed it. Why can't life be like the movies sometimes?

Juliette Lewis in red Latex pants

Hmmm, the V Festival held in England this week brought with it many creative and out-there outfits...some good, some not so good. But there's one outfit that i don't know whether i like or hate.

Celeb Juliette Lewis, decided to let loose and wear a hot new trend-Latex leggings. But I'm not sure if I'm into Bright red Latex. She teamed the pants with a black vest, headband and ankle boots. Perhaps it just looks a little crazy due to the fact that she's standing next a surprisingly refined and polished looking Kelly Osborne in all black.

I don't think I'll be wearing red latex leggings anytime soon, but props to Juliette for trying something new.

Latex leggings and waxed jeans

With the whole patent look successfully making it's way down the runways to main stream public, it's no surprise that waxed jeans and latex leggings are on the rise.

It's apart of the whole tough girl look that's been evident on the runway's for the fall season which include black, leather and patent styles. High gloss adds an 80's touch, however shine may attract attention to those bits and pieces of the body that may be in less than perfect shape. For those who don't like the out-there look try waxed jeans.

I'm trying to find myself a pair to see if it works well in reality or at least on my body, but it's been harder to find than i thought. When i find an (affordable) pair I'll do a post on it.

Kate Moss Style

I cannot get enough of this girl, there is something about her that always keeps us intrigued. I love her sense of style, casual yet ever so chic.

Pic 1- Kate at the top Shop launch at Barney's with a feminine chiffon dress and a bright yellow clutch sets the whole look off.

Pic 2- Kate Moss looking aboslutely beautiful at heading to the airport with a oversized Gucci carry on bag, wyfarer sunglass' from her top-shop range, cute silver flats and hair neatly pulled together bun.

Pic 3- Normal day, getting upto mischief with boyfriend Pete Doherty in a completely black ensemble.

Pic 4- Out for dinner with friends, in a long satin skirt and the same belt as the previous pic.

Wayfarer's still going strong

It seems more and more everyday, that Wayfarer style sunglasses are getting more and more popular! Celebs decked themselves out in these retro shades, in all sorts of colours from black, brown, white and red! Designers such as Chanel and Luella are also capitalizing on the popularity of this trend, while many chain stores are bringing their version of the style in from Target to Kate Moss' line at Topshop. But i must admit, nobody makes these sunglasses look more sophisticated and classier than Audrey Hepburn!

My purchase

Last week I was browsing Ebay, not really wanting anything...until i came across a pair of 80's Wayfarers. I never wanted a pair of wayfarers purely because they remind me of the bad fashion sense my parents had back in the day. But when i came across these Gold and Dark purple Vintage wayfarers i had to have them! I don't know when I'm going to wear them, but they are pretty cool to look at and most people with that funky street style happening will pull them off perfectly. With the whole 80's vibe coming back i felt a need to have these.

Ban my Rays

Ok, i know these Ray-bans Wayfarers were going to come back sooner or later...but i never thought they would come back which such force!

Celebs are embracing this look without a second thought from style icon Chloe Sevigny to the milliondollar babies the Olsen Twins. When you see a look on these girls you know its going to be big!! From skinny jeans to headbands to chunky shoes, these girls are bringing Ray-bans back.

I personally love the look of these glasses for a funked up street look or an artsy evening look. However, unlike big sunglasses which come in all shapes, styles, colours and brands for individuality...this style is from one particular brand thus don't be suprised to walk past 10 other people wearing the exact same shades.

The focus should be more on the "cat-eye" look rather than the wayfarers themselves. Try the Marc Jacobs MJ046S for a more individual take as seen on trend-setter Lindsay Lohan.

These shades suit every personality from the rocker types to coutourist to the conservative to the street styler and at a litter over $100 everybody should have their hands on a pair of these bargain buys.

Were to buy? Most designer sunglass retailers such as Sunglass Hut sell Ray-bans, however online stores such as Otticanet , Ebay and EyeSave Discount Sunglasses provide sunglasses at your convienience.
