BNTM Ep 5 Monkey Business

Jacket from Roland Mouret, Glasses as always from Retrosuperfuture

Unlike many male designers i feel the masculinity Roland Mouret brings to his garments are like the secrets of why Saville Row has such an under current of power, these clothes know how to arm you to look sharp. He doesnt over sexualise women nor morph into something alien or ugly, they are pieces which craft the body, they both hide and reveal to be oh so flattering. A while back it was rumoured that ‘someone’ from Roland Mouret was working on the Victoria Beckham label. Whilst being really impressed with the VB pieces as they are beautifully constrcted and in really great fabrics, i still dont think i could buy into a ‘designer’ piece with a label that said Victoria Beckham on it and almost put me off Roland Mouret. But not quite.

BNTM Ep 4 Inspiration

Spex by Retro Super Future – Ciccio Black

Their website says  Extra Large, Extra Strong, Extra Thick. The Super Ciccio is not for the faint of heart (Sounds also like my perfect boyfriend)

This outfit isn’t as simple to describe as the last ones as it was less off the peg and more DIY

Sometimes when  a bit of outfit inspiration is needed i  go to  Style.com and refresh my memory on the catwalk looks before they are in all the mags, i try to build looks around pieces i own already. For this one i was looking at Dolce Gabanna S/S Catwalk show. I channelled (or possibly Chanel’ed) Black and white, lace/fishnet, floral

Jean Paul Gaultier lace dress, black and white chenille bow head band procured at Liberty at different times. White flower ring from a shop on Rue De Rivoli in Paris. One Westwood Pearl earring from Bang Bang, one CC earring from Chanel. Bright pink bra Stylists own ha ha, white nails.

A whole lotta Naomi

Been seeing this beauty Naomi Shimada out and about. She was skinny and now she aint,  she is oh so present and now wearing Richard Sorger too.

Lip Stain

Hot sticky summer and I’m indulging in a metaphorical flesh fest : Watched True Blood Sr3 online ergo sitting uncomfortably at my desk for hours I’m that obsessed. Also reading The Historian, which is actually pretty crap but I am still page turning for some reason??? Vampires are supposed to always raise themselves in a time of recession tho my very lazy research which consisted of typing in ‘vampires and recession’ into Google only proffered some piffle from Sam off True Blood saying in times of recession people want ecscapism. Really? Sam being a Shapeshifter obvs doesnt like to get under the skin of an issue, maybe if he was a Vamp, he might see it as a metaphor for society and/or the planet being bled dry eh? I dreamt about a guy I was dating as a vampire quite a while ago. The dream dictionary said that ultimatley not a goodun. Turns out it was right. Sucker.
