Previously mentioned, I had embraced the young bohemian lifestyle in London England. Unfortunately this goes hand-in-hand with having a shitty laptop and not being able to afford Wifi. I’m back Tumblr, but this time I’ve watched a Sex in the City box set and I’m feeling inspired.
What better time to return than in the middle of London Fashion Week?
Liz Taylor likes two things: blood diamonds and public drunkenness.
It’s apparently not just the models doing coke in the fashion world nowadays. Not only did Marc Jacobs do two braided buns at the nape of the neck for this fall, but Vogue Beauty is telling us we shoulld try it!
Originally this hairstyle was used to showcase massive hats, but when the mohair accessories were removed people went nuts. This is not the early 2000s. Two braided buns lead to butterfly clips, butterfly clips lead to flares, and flares lead to teen pregnancy. Smarten up fashion world.
As December approaches it is time to fully embrace the fact you can’t go anywhere without freezing your arse off. Never fear! With a combination of the right accessories and some seasonal liquor you can stay toasty and fashionable where ever you wander this holiday season.
Over-the-knee Socks - Don’t completely sacrifice skirts and dresses this winter just because of some frost! Not only do over-the-knee socks go perfectly over tights to keep your legs warm, but they are just the right amount of slutty which will distract from the fact your nose is probably running.
Circle Scarf - No, Gin & Blahnik is not just advising you to hit up American Apparel’s signature items but a circle scarf is a better place to start than a deep V. There’s something a million times more cozy about a circle scarf and it can also double as something to warm up a cold bench when you are waiting for the train. Embrace your inner Helena Bonham Carter and sew those scarf ends together, or whatever.
ASOS Knit Turban in Steel
Turban - Way cooler and more formal than a toque. A head scarf is also looser to avoid fucking with your hair when you are getting dragged into the harsh conditions for Christmas shopping. Prada tells us turbans, we wear turbans.
The Perfect Egg Nog - Fill Christmas mug 3/4 of the way with dark spiced rum. Add one shot egg nog. Voila! Instant warmth.
Mulled Wine - Do you like wine? Do you like oranges? Do you like feeling like Ned Stark from Game of Thrones? Look no further than mulled wine. Santa most likely gets drunk off of this.
There, now you have no excuse to wear that marshmallow jacket.
MMM for H&M
More London news!
Chanel has opened their Little Black Jacket exhibition today at the Saatchi Gallery and boy are we excited. Photographed by Karl Lagerfeld himself (and Carine Roitfeld) there is rooms full of hot bitches showing the world what some shoulder pads and structure can do for an outfit. Little Black Jacket is the perfect side project for Mr.Lagerfeld to show the world his ability to capture someone’s entire personality in one photograph.
Check it out online here, because as Gin & Blahnik always says:
If you can’t afford something, you might as well look at it and resent the people that can.
Haven’t heard of Power Hour? Don’t underestimate this drinking game for one second. The rule of basic Power Hour is to drink a shot of beer every minute for an hour. This seems like a small task until you are 37 minutes deep without any motor skills.
Now, imagine normal Power Hour with a Disney twist.
A one minute clip of a Disney movie plays and everyone drinks. By the time your beer or cider is put down and everyone has taken turns singing/dancing/getting lost in nostalgia the clip changes and you have to drink again! A full hour of 60 clips of Disney and a ton of booze. Click the picture above for a link to one version of Disney Power Hour and get drunk to your childhood movies!
*An additional rule is to drink twice for racism, you’d be surprised*
