"Blow your mind!"

It's been a while since I have posted something on ensem-BLAH and all for the sole reason that nothing has inspired me. I've been looking to write about something that stirs that little place in your heart where a sudden feeling of butterflies takes over and inspiration floods in, taking over your mind. Images start flicking and all of a sudden your mind is filled to the brim with food for thought and inspirational stories yet to be told.

 Where I found that something to write about was supposed to happen yesterday, but because of a gentle journey into London and a night of tuxedos and bubbles (or should I say baubles?) we were too late to go, and so decided to hold up until today, the 7th of December 2013. After a chat about it we were joined by family and friends and that's how I recommend you do this. Take your hand and place it in someone else's, skip over the crumbling autumn leaves and find yourself paying only £12.50 to be overcome by inspiration and a personality, where even though she rests now, an energy I never knew surges out from the brilliantly placed and curated  exhibition of the fabulous...Isabella Blow, "Fashion Galore."

 

 

http://www.somersethouse.org.uk/visual-arts/isabella-blow-fashion-galore

 With iconic pieces by Hussein Chalayan, the first collection  by Alexander McQueen,  that was bought in its entirety by Isabella Blow, hats such as the Arrows of Love  by Philip Treacy, and for many of our party the haunting yet beautiful piece of sculptural art where birds of a feather flock around a Manolo Blahnik creating a silhouette on the wall where Isabelle's profile, as long as the light is behind, will forever be a shadow of a head on a stake.

 

 

I don't want to give too much away as you should go and feel it for yourself. Be surrounded by the depth of darkness between black velvet curtains.Let your mind be stimulated by the vast images that heat the surfaces they are portrayed on. Get up close to the fabric that inspired the business we call FASHION. Learn about a soul that would rake in talent and then let the world enjoy it still to this day. Be aware that at times you will find yourself pleasantly surprised by the endless display of art, that your emotions are stirred to the point where your breath is held for a moment.

 My darlings, take it all in.

There are many people that Daphne Guinness thanks in the below interview (follow the link) but by golly gosh, this lady has done a brilliant job of portraying a person, and as mentioned before encapsulating that energy that would be a force to be reckoned with. This exhibition for me also really helps to support and imbed my belief that fashion is not just the clothes on your back but so much more. It filters through the brilliance of imagination and down to that shelf where the possibility is endless.

 Go Blow your mind and let that seed of inspiration grow into Fashion Galore.

Boy Page

So I jumped out the shower the other night and decided to restyle my hair. I walked out and asked my partner what he thought...he loved it. He loved it so much he even discussed it with his boss at work. It played on my mind for a while then I thought why not do the style again and send it to my hairdresser, Dawn, to get her opinion. Good idea she thought.

 

 

So for now until I have my hair cut, inspired by Bettie Page, I like to call my bangs...Boy Page.

 

Upon the style been cut in I will post more pictures to show you the finished look. Until Friday I leave you with the above.

 

"BANG...Boy Page!"

"Keep the trunk filled with punk..."

It was another Saturday night...well...kind of another Saturday night. I had just shown Blondie's former guitarist to his table...Frank Infante, nope, I am afraid to say this is not about Frank...

 

Shortly after seating him a couple walked in that actually made me scream with excitement. I have never had a couple on here, so I would like to introduce you to Bev and Trevor.

 

 

If we were all back in the days when Dior released the new look then Bev would be trending that new wave just like Blondie did when Heart of Glass hit the radios. She works this look well and if you fancy this "Kelly Brook Bardot Scenic Dress" then catch it now from New Look:

Off the shoulder went her dress and on the other shoulder her dancing partner Trevor. His uba cool Mohawk sits proudly above his ensemble. The over sized overcoat found in the Lanes, Brighton with his vintage bootlace from Covent Garden and his creepers from Underground Shoes in Camden Town, this man is just pure Great Britannia...cool.

 

Keep the trunk filled with punk...its rad!!!

"Palette" in the Park

Everyday Mister Jonathan Murdoch Smith walks into the office with very little in his hands but a lot of colour on his back. He always inspires me to look out side my little black, navy and burgundy box and try to make use of the colour that is available. The other day this look in particular really inspired me to snap and save his look for ensem-BLAH.

 

This is the third time Mister Murdoch Smith has appeared on ensem-BLAH. It is his attention to detail that makes me want to write about his look and show the men out there how not to be afraid of colour, detail and how to do it...afford ably.

 

The fitted jacket is by Zara paired with a Thomas Pink shirt. The forest green matches well with the dusty pink and white stripes of the shirt. Introducing some slightly seventies floral patterns with the use of an Eton tie and pocket-chief, this colour palette is overflowing.

 

Take a closer look...

 

 

The "forest" will not be the same without a wise owl to look over it. This little brooch courtesy of Etsy sits on his lapel catching the lighter colours around his neck and hidden in his pocket.

 

Mister Murdoch Smith you know that working colour is like a "Palette" in the Park for you.

A pose of consistency...

Finally I got it together and snapped one of many great looks that Miss Faye Edwards struts about the office in.

 

Friday saw a day when I met Ann Demeulemeester...

 

 

This sleeveless blouse by Ann Demeulemeester, a Belgian designer, demonstrates my love for the art of draping.

 

Demeulemeester initially showed no interest in fashion and after attending art school she grew fascinated with people and portraiture. This spark her idea of creating clothes. Knowing how the human body works and looks she would be able to see how fabric would fall and settle from the body.

 

Who better than to team this blouse with than a master of draping, Roland Mouret. The pencil skirt silhouette compliments the gathered fabric on Faye's hips.

 

With a great silhouette created by her choice of ensemble, Faye struck a pose of consistency.

"Once upon a time..."

Once upon a time I met a girl, her name, Danielle Strydom. Nowadays she is known as Danielle Strydom Epps but to me she will always be known as "Bubs". When you know someone for more than eight years you learn their style and you see them grow into the person they have become today.

 

It gives me great pleasure to write about a true friend and her style...

 

 

A night with students as they see their final year of school, a prom was in order. What to wear and where to find it? Well this is where Danielle is lucky. Alan, her husband has been the decider behind many of her great looks. A man's man and a true superhero especially when left in the dark thanks to lack of knowledge in electricity. A day of hunting came to an end when he stumbled over this dress whilst his wife sweated it out in the fitting room. It was love at first sight, a bit of history replaying itself, and thanks to Coast this empire line cut dress, sees Danielle appear on ensem-BLAH as one of many with style.  

 

What shoes does the belle of the ball leave behind? A summers day into town with her friend, moi (aka Pooch), we searched the slim options on sale through out town and gave Dorothy Perkins our last look. There we found her slippers hidden behind the piles, on the rack, off the rack and then packed by a giant...mission accomplished.

 

With scarlet red nails and a simple pleated clutch from Accessorize, a present from a friend, I couldn't wait to receive the photo of her ensemble put together.

 

Here's to many more years of friendship and style choices...Bubs I love you.

 

xoxo

Summer never looked so good!

Life as a Buyer is incredibly busy but at the same time, amongst the craziness, there are perks. Having spent the day at Buckingham Palace for the Coronation Festival 2013, where brands with the Royal Warrants exhibit their product, everything from fashion to technology, amongst the crowd you would have seen Miss Danielle Grantham...

 

After a day amongst British Talents, a drink by the Serpentine in Hyde Park to watch the sun go down was on the cards. Danielle's dress from Topshop can be used from sunrise to sunset and she sure proved this.

 

The hem of her dress was blacked out by a distant horizon where the sunset creates a flood of colours all the way up the dress. There are so many colours and the great thing about this dress is its simplicity can be exaggerated using shoes and accessories to make those colours pop.

 

 

Today Danielle teamed her dress with a pair of nude Saint Laurent Tributes. Girls get a pair, from what I hear they are comfortable and a must have. Remember sometimes running to front row is possible in the correct footwear. 

 

 

 

The sun reflecting into her foldable Persol sunglasses, canary diamond and a large Pimm's, I raised my glass to Danielle and another day of summer at the Serpentine Bar and Kitchen.

Jump Into Style

How do you do it? Just jump into style and walk out the front door in your friends ensemble borrowed for a quirky dinner party...this is how Georgie Douglas does it.

 

 The ASOS jumpsuit is gorgeous and it's the drama of the rococo bead work that really catches my magpie eye!

ASOS have cleverly taken this piece and worked it! You can clearly see where high end Dolce and Gabbana circa AW 2012, too cool for fashion school, meets high end e-commerce.

Truly a statement piece but what would you expect from a former drama student.

Georgie a little more gold and you're an Oscar but for now  making your debut on ensem-BLAH will do until you make it big. Good luck honey.

 

Here's another favourite...

Style is a Breeze

What happens when the wind blows? Well in this situation I got my camera out and started clicking, admittedly it took a couple of attempts. Wearing my favourite brand of shoes and just been a ray of sunshine life's a Breeze for Miss Richards as well as style...

 

Breeze simply has it all, the figure, the hair, the personality and the fun, fun, fun.The gorgeous burnt orange print of her skirt, teamed with a simple black vest top then bought home by accessories galore makes her ensemble complete. A vintage belt from Mum's wardrobe, earrings by River Island and Kookai glasses (tres chic0, the wind might be blowing but this girl is kicking up quite a storm in the style stakes. Having graduated from university in Business and Management, come on, the girl has it all.

 

 



She has it all and unfortunately not in my size,(Stamp feet and wish I was a girl)! Irregular Choice shoes! Arrrrgh! I LOVE them! The whole idea of the brand is brilliant! Their style and their product is an essential part of any eclectic wardrobe. Taking the bronze, gold and burnt orange of these shoes and teaming it with all the above, lightening, thunder and Breeze, its raining style!

 

Get yourself a pair...

"Beige Society"

My phone buzzed along my desk on what we are calling the only days of summer, here in England. It was a muggy day and when I found what I had been sent I was amazed that they are still out and about. This beige glove with a faux fur trim was found in Tenterden and kindly supplied by my gorgeous lover.

 

 

 The funny thing is when I spent Boxing Day with dear friends in Tenterden I noticed, as we gathered for the gathering of horseman and hounds, that the general public were all wearing beige.

 

Does society wear beige all the time? Well maybe they do...even in Spring.

"MOI CHERRY"

The other night, well a week ago, a lovely lady walked into my place of walk. A restaurant and a "Waiter" met the darling Julia Beckford. As a beautician in Hayes, Middlesex she works her own beauty parlour, "Beauty by Julia" with the same grace and presence...I am sure...as she did the night we met.

She walked in with this gorgeous overcoat which complimented her full circle dress underneath. With bold hibiscus flowers, drama spelt its name in the air the way we do when playing with sparklers. It was bold and the fact it was Red and Black, I just fell in love with two of my favourite colour ways all over again. Her coat is from the brilliant, yet only the brave shop there, Desigual. You can always find a keeper amongst the bold patterns, mixed fabrications and prints in there.

 

The best is yet to come. I love taking pictures of my ensem-BLIST'S however I die a little when they don't seem to be enjoying the fact that they are on show. Julia you changed that for me. Your pose spoke of a woman experienced in choosing the right dress for your figure and feeling confident and beautiful in it. As a snapped the picture I loved how this extremely feminine dress came to life thanks to the woman in it. Julia having fun whilst dressed up is all it takes when dressing up.

 

 

The cherry print of this dress is just too brilliant. A proud owner of a Camden (London) find by Collectif. The sweat heart neck line is perfect for giving your décolletage a stage to wear a lovely necklace as done here by our lovely Julia. The waist slims her down into a blooming, full circle skirt. The bold silhouette and print are so consistent and that pleases me.

 

For me, "Moi Cherry" you made my night. Thank you, darling.

"SPRING GLOVES?"

What the hell is happening to our weather here in the UK. We are in April and supposedly halfway through spring however coats still remain the choice of garment to keep us warm and gloves litter our streets and in some cases our office.

Keep hold of your gloves people and hopefully our weather might start improving. Think about it, where do these gloves go when the streets get cleaned. Are gloves contributing toward global warming?

Think about the effort it takes to make gloves, then distribute them. Then you decide one day you need a pair. Think about the effort it takes to get them. Now think about the little effort it takes to lose a glove or in some cases a pair? Not much effort. Now think about the man who sweeps our streets. Once he is done where do they all go?

That would be a very interesting case study. Anyway here are a few of the gloves I have found...

 

Is our weather going down a man hole?

 

Read between the lines...

 

This was in my office at work...micro-wave...get it?

 

 

Think about our children's future...take care of your gloves.

"PURPLE REIGN"

The instant you meet someone they make an impression on you. That first impression is so exciting and goes something like this,"Oh my god I need to put you on my blog."

Another typical Saturday night, hen parties coming and going and BOOM! In walks Nikki Sanderson. The first thing you notice is her purple washed hair with pink streaks and a studded purple crown, a purchase off eBAY all the way from Hong Kong.

Along with the unicorns that dance on her arms, inside my mind inspiration took over and I just couldn't wait to introduce you to her. Without further ado I give you her and her ensem-BLAH...

 

 

The tattoos you see on her arm were done by Vlad Oktavian, a talented tattooist based in 37 Old London Road in Kingston upon Thames, England. Follow the link below to check out and LIKE the facebook page!

 

http://www.facebook.com/vladoctav#!/oldlondonroadtattoos

 

All her other tattoo's were done by a variety of artist including Amy Savage.

 

You are most probably wondering what Nikki does? Nikki is a Pole Fitness Instructor in the evening and by day she works in Office Shoes in Canterbury. Talking of shoes lets check hers out.

 

I am a lover of female shoes and often I have spoken about the time I stamped my feet whilst blurting out how I wished I was a girl so I could wear such brilliantly uncomfortable things. So upon gazing at this fabulous specimen of an ensem-BLIST I noticed her shoes.

 

Giddy up little pony, these boots are made for walking...

 

 

The cute ankle, laced finished socks that peer over these glorious shoes add more to the Princess attitude Nikki is pulling off. With baby pink ribbon laces and tailor made shoes made by "Electric Starshine" based in Australia this girl is ready to party in the palace.

 

Electric Starshine is a destination for unique and quirky shoes. The great part is, you can choose the fabric you want the shoes to be covered in. Check out some off their stuff and get strutting...

 

http://www.facebook.com/electricstarshine

 

 

Nikki's style is unique in every possible way and I feel a heavy influence from the Harajuku Girls and Boys based in Japan however bringing it to the English shores. She has had her necklace

 since she was eight...it's a Polly Pocket.

 

Nikki Sanderson we thank you for your style and inspiration...bring on the Purple Reign!

"BOW TIES ARE FOR FLY GUYS"

While couped up in our office, slaves to the world of fashion, constantly racing against time to raise the next purchase order, keeping up with trend and the ways of it's forever changing mind, we all got caught up in a very cool trend for "the man".

 

Need I say it but my next ensem-blists are fly guys all wearing bow ties. Mr Patsalis, Mr Pearce and Mr Murdoch-Smith. Boys I salute you...

 

 

The joy of a bow tie is that you can literally mix it up with so many pieces of your wardrobe. I only own three however I am constantly being asked by people if it's another new one. Something so small, with a distinct shape, but it is a master of disguise as it constantly reworks itself time and time again.

 

Pick basic colours if you want to work the bow tie with distinct tweed jackets as Mr Pearce does or as demonstrated by Mr Patalis and Mr Murdoch-Smith pick bold prints to work with solid coloured knitwear and jackets.

 

The best type of bow tie is self-tied as it creates a fantastic organic bow. Below find how to tie your bow tie..."it's pretty easy".

 

 

So gents take the world by storm and tie it in a bow.

LOS DIAS de LOS MUERTOS

There is a celebration of Life and Death in Mexico called, "LOS DIAS de LOS MUERTOS", which means Day of the Dead. This is a celebration held in November where the community come together to celebrate their lives and their ancestor's lives. It is a terribly colourful beautiful celebration and is popular that people adorn their heads and costumes with flowers. They also paint their faces like skeletons and celebrate into the night.

My next ensem-blist is Miss Faye Allen who is a Garment Technologist and her look stood her out amongst the crowd. She sat at her table and she was the only one whose style screamed individuality. Her handmade headpiece was inspired by a current trend. Her whole ensemble really worked. I wanted to focus mainly on her headpiece. I make headpieces and found some real good inspiration behind her use of flowers and colours together.

Her look does remind me of the festival LOS DIAS de LOS MUERTOS however she is full of life and is so stunning it would be foolish of me not to write about her. Senoritas and Senoras I give you Miss Faye Allen...

 

Dancing the night away whilst drinking tequila, enjoying a celebration of style and inspiration would be a festival I would like to start with Faye Allen as our patron.

 

I thank you for filling my world with that little bit more beauty.

FINGER WIGGLE

It has been a long time since I posted on my blog. I feel like there is an added pressure in life now. The added pressure being the world in which I have chosen to write about…fashion. Its forever moving, faster and faster. It amazes me that at my actual job, appointments for Spring Summer 2014 are already been allocated. We haven’t even raised Autumn Winter 2013 and already they are saying goodbye to Christmas. It's immense. As you can see I have being busy so I have neglected my love for writing about people’s style.

For now before I roll out the post’s I have ready, I will be looking at the gloves I have found and being sent. I have seen so many but to be fair to me I have found them absolutely boring. Plain black lying in the street sad and wet. I’m sorry but I like to snap ones of interest. The below four that I have found on my travels all seem to be gesturing towards something be a wave or a “fuck you” to the snow. God its been that long since I posted, there was snow on the ground.

So my first one that I shall write about was sent to me by a dear friend Samma! We often walk to work together but although we work in the same company, catch similar trains and even live in the same town we rarely see each other. She’s swell and incredibly talented. So I got a text from her and as the picture loaded when I saw it, I laughed a little. I asked her if she had positioned it like that but she denied all claims of rudeness. After all Sam is a lady.



The next glove I found on a night walking back from work. Frozen in what I was wearing I was nearly tempted to not even get my camera out. Why would I upset my warmth?? The glove was on a stone bench by our County Council Hall and along the road parked up taxis ready to pick up the bourgeoisie and the rebels. Like the last time I took a picture of the ground and got asked if I was mad, it happened again. The blue is so striking and by the time I got out of the cold and into the warmth of our flat my lips weren’t far off the same colour. It almost looks like it is carrying out the “royal wave” as it is carried away on its stone carriage.



This glove I loved because of the area I snapped it in. Belgravia in London. I could just imagine the darling wearing it, calling her darlings with a pretentious finger wiggle. “Darlings, darlings, oh darlings over here by Eaton Square gardens. Hello darlings! Oh darlings you look wonderful.” Can you picture it? I can and feel like running them over with a black cab. Beep, Beep.



So I ran them over with my imaginary black cab, did my day at work and then got back to the station to catch the train home. Sweetie when you are under the cab there is no point hailing for another taxi.

"THE POWER OF 3"

I am always working so please forgive the constant repeat of the phrase, "whilst at work". So this past Saturday saw the power of three have its full effect on me. The below three ladies walked in and their ensembles all struck me. Armed with glasses of vino I introduce to you Viki Parnell, Vanessa Collins and Olivia Crease...

 

 

I will start with Viki Parnell, Regional Sales Manager for Sky, is wearing a simple black jacket with a slight shimmer matched with a metallic skirt in gold. The shimmer in the jacket really is a good choice to pair with the glitter of the skirt. Her ensemble is from All Saints.

 

Keeping the glamour coming is Vanessa Collins in her floral print blouse with a hint of romance and femininity paired with a pair of grey shorts with organic tie belt. The colour in the grey shorts enhances the colours of the flowers in the blouse, especially the shades of pink. All from Ted Baker.

 

Bringing up the rear in the glamour stakes is my personal favourite Olivia Crease, an Adjudicator for Financial Ombudsman Services. In ASOS this dusty pink number is bound to get you up there amongst the style gurus. The feathered skirt is uba feminine. Like the night version of Carrie's ensemble in the opening credits to Sex and the City.

 

The girls all mentioned how they all felt that their outfits didn't work but girls let me say 3 words...

 

...Werk It Girls!

 

xoxo

"ORIENT EXPRESS"

Lately I have really become aware at how an ensemble contributes to the ambiance and atmosphere of where you are.

 

Many a night whilst on my way home I will be struck by the gorgeous dresses floating above platform 2, the sound of classic jazz greeting guests and the shining glassware reflecting in the windows of the Orient Express.

 

I often see the staff greeting customers with wide smiles and white gloves guiding the odd Jimmy Choo aboard the choo choo. I have always wanted to picture them then the other day I got the chance. Interrupting their usual process of greeting the guests celebrating or just enjoying the luxuries of life I shot the very dapper and smart Matt (Steward) and Andrew (Chief Steward).

 

Welcome aboard ensem-BLAH Gents...

 

 

Imagine the glamour aboard the Orient Express if from the beginning you are met with such tailored uniforms and dapper staff.

 

If you get the chance then enjoy the jazz tracks.

"ROSEY APPLES"

Have you ever met a real life size Jean Paul Gaultier bottle or skin as white as snow? Whilst working my usual shift on a Saturday night one of the Burlesque Dancers stood out.

 

Ladies and Gents, a local girl from Maidstone, Kent, a short walk to her stage, a spiralling flag act and a baking course I give you Miss Rosey Apples...

 

 

With porcelain skin, courteosy of factor 50 sunscreen, a way of making River Island and Primark look like Haute Couture I seriously recommend you get yourself to one of her shows.

 

"Take a bit and all your dreams will come true".

LIV, LOVE, LONDON

It is not often that you get to spend a night and a day with a dear friend that’s travelled from Australia, stopped in New York, a trip to Minnesota, amongst other destinations found herself in her London. Ladies and Gent’s I give you Liv, Love, London herself…Olivia Nolan...
 

 

Olivia has just recently left her busy life of being a Fashion Agent and working for a Perth based fashion agencies representing over ten brands. A talented lady at styling, an individual eye for fashion and generally that person who just suits everything.

Whilst sat in “Bloody French” a modern, contemporary restaurant in Westbourne Grove, London, where for the past week you could bring your own bottle (No Bloody Corkage Fee), I don’t know if it was the wine or the light but Olivia stuck out more than ever.

Her glasses are the best invention since festivals and a purchase she bought that day on Portobello Road amongst the stalls. Festival Glasses, where a single tortoise shell frame can do a John Lennon or a hip Boy London ensemble. How you ask yourself? Well with a pack that smells like a new beach ball you get a total of six different coloured lenses all UV Protected perfect to compliment any outfit you decide to wear whilst lapping up the sun in a muddy field somewhere.

We slide down her shiny black hair and find ourselves resting on her shoulders of her very own leather jacket by Viktoria and Woods, the Phoenix jacket, paired with a chambray shirt again by Vik. A brand that Olivia used to represent. The leather jacket has organic lapels that create a brilliant layer under an over sized coat. 

 

We take our gaze to her jeans, to a blue rose garden. The print is loud and strong and is sure to allure you with the beauty of the blue roses. The look is drawing together so well. The colours are represented in every item of clothing giving the ensemble a sense of consistency. The jeans are by Bec & Bridge.

 All the brands mentioned above are the makings of the very talented designers of Australia. Look out and go walkabout with them below:

Viktoria and Wood:

Bec & Bridge:

Olivia is debating what to do with her life next but if you knew the girl you would know that she has an endless pit of talent for fashion. Olivia do us all a favour a open your agency, share with the rest of the world those Australian brands. The gems down under.

Olivia we thank you.

London's Ensem-BLAH

When I first moved over to the UK from Zimbabwe I travelled up to London to meet some friends. The last time I was in London I was ten. I never really appreciated its ways.

I met my friend at Waterloo East dressed in typical Zimbabwe style, board shorts and a tee...dare I say it! I got off the train and waited by the Costa. I slowly found myself backing up towards the wall then eventually found a quiet spot behind a pillar.

I was amazed at how fast everyone was walking and couldn't understand one thing. Why was everyone wearing black? My phone rang and it was my friend asking why I was hiding behind the pillar.

I know work in London as a Buyers Clerk and found that I too have come to love it ways and styles. To be fair it's not that hard too. I now have copious amounts of black and I'm afraid to say this but it doesn't show up dirty that easily. London is beautiful and a lot cleaner than most cities however the girl's got a dirty mouth.

So the other day catching my train home I was waiting at the platform. The platform opposite started to fill up and sure enough it struck me again. London's Ensem-BLAH. I snapped this picture just before their train arrived. True to their city and her uniform they left for the night only to return to their regiments .

London's Ensem-BLAH I love you.

"BACK to BACK"

This is a post I have been wanting to do for a while. Finally I have managed to find three woman who are perfect examples of how to pull off a backless number. Back to Back I give you Miss Tillie Smith, Miss Laura Grice and Miss Heather Twaits…

 Miss Tillie Smith demonstrates how to really pull off a backless number by wearing this floor length, block coloured and panelled dress. A dress she won at a fashion auction, designer unknown, is stunning. The dark panels run front to back creating a slimming silhouette then you are surprised by a lighter shade of blue which meets the lower back taking the full length of the body down to the floor. It was just a Saturday night when I took this picture of Tillie but I truly believe this dress could be used on a red carpet.

Occupation: Pole Dancing Instructor @ Pussycat Poles

Miss Laura Grice demonstrates a classic look with this little black number by ASOS. With its figure hugging cut and roll neck, this dress is a master of disguise. She strolled in wearing a little black jacket which gave me the idea this dress is perfect to go from winter day to winter night. Simply pair this dress with a tailored jacket and a string of pearls and you have a meeting room ensemble. You can discuss figures, percentages and work all day without people knowing that you have a backless number under. A cute jumper would do as well. Whip it off when you leave and you are set to dance the night away.

Occupation: Horse Riding Instructor
 

Miss Heather Twaits demonstrates this by being the glitterati herself. Dress by Motel Rocks @ House of Fraser. The way this dress shone amongst the crowd really stood this stunning girl out. With body contouring it is a perfect way to highlight her gorgeous figure. Regardless of where you are this dress is bound to get you some attention. The detail of the sequins is really well done and the quality of it looks very good. Definitely a good investment into your wardrobe.

Occupation: PA to Insurance Company CEO

 

Thank you

"The happiest glove in the world"

This glove, laid down in its place of rest was the first glove that I felt sorry for. Why? Well it had a face, a face of a panda bear...

 

Although he was alone he looked ever so happy laying on our cold earth. Then I thought to myself. Typical Panda bears always at it alone, never doing it together.

 

"Buddie it's just you and your paw tonight."
