Random musing
I really have so much admiration for designers and other such people. The amount of time and effort that goes into producing something must be so much. I mean, I have been working on my website this past week (thus the lack of updates - many apologies) and good lord it’s taking a long time.
But the end product must be so rewarding - to see the clothes you (or your design team, whatever designer types do) have slaved over for months on the catwalk. Of course, I have more admiration for intelligent designers (because frankly, some of them strike me as pretty dim) and the ones who have built their business from nothing, although when they’re arrogant about that fact it irritates me. Nonetheless, anyone whose managed to be successful with whatever they’ve done (be it fashion or working with chimps - literally anything worthwhile that’s been born from sweat and tears blah blah blah… you get the idea) does deserve recognition.
…Thermal leggings!!
You know my aversion to footless tights. I really really detest them… yet somehow, I quite like this look. I know they’re leggings, which is different to footless tights, but the principle is more or less the same. I find the leggings look more tasteful and it’s slightly different (you don’t look like a sheep to trends… I think I just have an anti-trend thing or fear of looking like everyone else).
I’m not one who experiments much with makeup, simply because I am lazy. I think many people at school think I don’t know anything; little do they know about my obsession with beauty back when I was 12.My dad had banned me from buying clothes for the summer (Goodness knows why, he claimed I had a lot and they were expensive, this was a lie). So to irritate him mainly, I started buying loads of beauty crap. Mostly skin products (take it from me, half of them do not work) but also hair products and makeup.This was about the time I discovered the wonder of eyelash curlers. I already have quite long & thick eyelashes, but they aren’t particually curly (unlike a friend of mine, who has the longest and curliest eyelashes I’ve seen), so these were quite literally amazing. There are loads of different types - plastic, metal (like above) and heated ones. Personally, I avoid heated ones because I am afraid that they’ll burn my eye, but apparently, it lasts longer. Plastic ones are meant to be better than metal ones because they are less prone to removing your eyelashes, but if used correctly, the metal ones are good. Many of you, I’m sure already use lash curlers, but if not, try it out and see what you think.
Everything I thought was confirmed - Birmingham was a hell-hole today. I purchased no christmas presents for anyone (I did purchase some purple satin fabric for my flipping prom dress - more on that closer to the time).
Final thing of the day : the photo on the left is of this rope decoration thing in Topshop in the Bullring.
I really like the jeans this model has.
Music can be inspirational when choosing what to wear. I think most people agree. I mean there are stereotypes anyway. You could go for any kind of music and say that people who listen to that have a certain style. I however, do not like to follow the stereotype, so I don’t actually class myself in any group. There is no denying however that what I wear is influenced, a little, by the music I’m listening to.
