'Allo 'Allo!

Yes my Parisian theme is continuing. Watching re runs of the British Comedy Classic Allo Allo. I swear I have the oddest taste in TV ever.

Today instead of my standard Bricklane lazy days, which the weather has deemed too cold for now, I went to this quaint Bistro on Upper Street in Islington London. I highly recommend any one in North London area to go visit La Petite Aberge for their very yummy meal! I am already planning a re-visit with some Uni friends, so I can sample their moules mariniere with pomme frites. Nom nom nom!

I am disliking the Christmas Shoppers in Oxford Street and the fact working full time means no more free weekdays to go shopping in less hectic mood. This new influx of Christmas Shoppers and the standard tourists, has made it slightly impossible for me to shop for myself let alone my ever growing Birthday gifts (I am too nice and should just do last minute stop in Lush and Accessoriez, alas I care too much).

Things I want for my Parisian Dream (Which has died this week, well part of it thanks to my own cruel words. I really need to learn how to shut my trap up when needed and stop revealing the real me to Men. It is too overwhelming for anyone, even to my friends.

List of Lust


Breton stripe top


Heart Seamed Tights


AA Unisex Circle Scarf


TopShop Velvet Bodycon Dress


Topshop Jump Red Lace up Shoe

That is just somne of list of lust, there is more but getting tired and long day at work tomorrow. Weekends fly by too quickly when you work. Next minute I will be turning 25 instead of 21 this month. Woe is me of old age. Old Cat Lady theory please go away, I do not want to be left on shelf to rot. Thanks!

Just Beat It

The latest Harper's Bazaar September issue contains some fantastic pictures of Brit Darling Agyness Deyn finding her inner Michael Jackson. Maybe it is wrong to portray MJ's iconic style but in my opinion his fashion style was just fabalous especially in the early age. Who knew power ranger stripes and colours work in leather suit?! Therefore it is no wonder some of the public would like to take on some parts of his style, maybe not the whole sha bang as I think that will be stepping on too many toes and is rather unimaginative of people. Don't steal style kids, absorb and take on pieces that suit you I say!

Agyness Deyn and Brana Wolf have capture his style and iconic moves quite well in these photos:






Not entirely convinced by the last photo of Agyness with 'Bubbles' look. Maybe this is because I find animals dressed in complete human outfits rather creepy. Anyone remember the Sesame Street dog heads on human body clip, by William Wegman? If not here is the clip in question:



Just creepy and odd eh?

These Boots Were Made For Stomping Not Walking

I and many fashionista have been drooling over these Chole studded boots from last year. The over the top studs, many buckles and the general "argh I am going to kick up RIOT but not edgy enough to wear Doc Martens as they make me look like a clown" factor also played a strong part in my absolute lust for these shoes. They were definitely my type of shoe porn. Fuck mega sky scraper shoes that would not be out of place on a wannabe WAG heading to Zoo Bar on Saturday night. I like ANGRY shoes.



See by Chole has a new 'it' ANGRY boots this season for me to drool over. mmm...




There were many DIY Chole style boots such as Alyssa Zukas. However, my proficiency with a hammer only stretches as far with banging a nail in the wall to hang pictures off. Therefore I am now in search of a high street or vintage copy cats.

I have found some very copy cat versions from a la River Island. Surprise? I am! River Island; chav and animal print in neon colours central with extra sparkle, sells something that is acceptable (I believe I am in my full right to state these opinions about the shop considering I worked as a slave in their stores. Never again).
