New year, new rules

What can one resolute to do in fashion? With 2008, just around the corner, in a matter of days, if we're being technical about it, is in not time to make those new year resolutions? Here are my so very fashionable new year resolutions.

1. Girl needs a hair cut. I resolve to cut some of the barnet off.

2. I need to get out of the dark blue skinnys. So begins the jean hunt.

3. I promise that while the sales are on, that I will not buy a whole load of junk that I will wear once.

4. I resolve to think long and hard before I make any purchases.

5. I shall do even more bargain hunting then ever before - vintage, cheap, secondhand, none of you are safe.

6. I promise that when I buy fashion magazines, I will read them properly from cover to cover to get my money's worth rather then just flicking through them and reading the interesting bits.

7. In summer I will not buy a whole lot of summary clothes that I will never get the chance to wear.

8. In summer I will not be seen in sickening colours.

9. I will buy myself a nice ring, from that voucher I have yet to use.

10. Now for some cheese - I resolve to always wear what I want to wear,

Now tell me what are your fashion new year resolutions?

White Angel

It's a little crazy that Christmas is only like in 5 days and for all of you late bugs, i have got a few more outfits up my stylish arm. Today's friend is Camilla Belle! One of my favorites of all time. This girl has got style oozing from her skin. The inspiration comes from Victoria Secert, snow and a bit of Audrey Hepburn. A cute white shirt is super wearable.(please keep in mind the whole outfit is snow white)

Now to make the super cute top more wearable for winter, i will add cropped blazer with such cute details.
I am not really a big fan of wide leg pants but i think these go way better than most pants.
Adding a nice touch of vintage, these boots are 2 die 4!
To remember Audrey Hepburn, wear this bracelet just above the elbow. Talk about chic!
I am lov'en this clutch!

Decorations of Blue, On a Green Chrismas Tree

Don't you just want to cry when that little girl in the movie starts to sing this song. Maybe, i'am the only one and probably the only one who has watched A Year Without A Santa Clause in the past week.
Today's topic is Sienna Miller. I do know the question on every1's mind, How do you change a fashion icon's look and not trash her record? Well, little ladies i am going to try but no bets on if i do a good job. Our inspiration is blue and trying to make an outfit out of only 2 colors. This wicked cute jacket has all of the colors that match the outfit.

Now this shirt reminds me of a spring runway collection that i think Sienna wore to a red carpet event(cann't think of name, it's killing me!). But i though it was a nice touch.
A nice colored jean to match the jacket theme. I really want a pair of shiny shoes for Christmas but i have a feeling that they willn't be under the tree.

I have wanted a pair of these earring 4ever and not luck at finding them. I am loving these!
I really hope i didn't bored you with (in my humble option) has been a really good outfit and please don't mind my blabbering!

Dancing Queen

The 70s has always been perhaps my least favourite decade of fashion, the hippie - boho - peasant look just doesn't do it for me and I can't say I am much of a safety pin wearing, mohawk sporting punk either, to put it mildly. However I have been thinking, what with Christmas coming up and lots of festive occasions to attend in need of sparkly, uber - glamorous outfits, the 70's is actually quite and apt inspiration. Never mind the punks and the hippies, but what about Studio 54 glam, D.I.S.C.O. glitter, shimmering metallics and fluid shapes.

Abba's Agnetha -70's Dancing queen

The disco era is epitomised by the designs created by designers such as Paco Rabanne and Roy Halston and is actually quite a grown up look, if inspiration is taken from cult nightclub Studio 54 divas rather then the roller disco. Halston was the designer of choice for the Studio 54 A - list crowd and his iconic deep - v- necked, Grecian style dresses were adored by stars such as Joan Collins and Bianca Jagger.

To create the look this festive season think fluid silhouettes and plenty shimmer and sparkle. Wide leg trousers and skinny leg trousers, trouser suits preferably all white for Bianca Jagger lux style, shiny and chiffon fabrics, Grecian inspired floor length dresses or disco - diva mini dresses. Finish the look with Farrah Fawcett waves and glossy, sparkling make - up.

70's icon Jerry Hall here with ex boyfriend Bryan Ferry, was the epitome of 70's glitz

Modern style icon Kirsten Dunst in vintage Versace, is clearly taking inspiration fron 70's icon Lauren Hutton's 1980 Oscar look. Lame and metallic fabrics were a favourite for the dance floor and fluid, drop waisted dresses were popular in the late 70s and early 80s.

Likewise Leslie Feist's blue, glitter catsuit is reminiscent of Charlie's Angel's Jaclyn Smiths royal blue catsuit. The catsuit was (and probably still is!) a particularly head - turning disco look.

Bianca Jagger, above, in one of her iconic white trouser suits. Bianca who was a Studio 54 firm fixture, even got married to Mick Jagger in a white trouser suit, although this time it had nothing underneath and worn with a show stopping, wide brimmed, white hat. Fast foreword to the noughties, and the white trouser suit is out and about again, like this one from Kate Moss's Topshop collection.

Mary Kate's fabulous white dress reminds me too of Bianca's white Grecian Halston gown. The deep v- neck, flowing skirt and Grecian esque design were the key features of an attention - grabbing Halston dress.

My picks for a glittering Christmas -

Tagged!

The delightful LML at Modern Marie tagged me a while back so since it's the festive season I decided to give it a shot. So here goes.....

1. I draw shoes everywhere. All over my school books and most odd - on my hands while in class or whilst studying.

(One of my shoes - )

2. I have naturally ridiculously curly hair. And ridiculously big may I add too.

3. I have a phobia of yogurt. Seriously. My friends haven't eaten yogurt in school for years because of my issue.

4. I wish I was a 60's mod. (Fabulous 60's mod icon Jean Shrimpton)

5. I hold Biro's/pencils incorrectly. This means that I have a permanent lump in the middle of the third finger on my right hand.

6. I like to decorate my pencil case with old and/or broken jewellery. In fact my 'pencil case' is actually a handbag!

7. I overdress for everything. Ah, but like Vivienne Westwood said - "You have a better life if you wear in impressive clothes". Yes, definitely a very materialistic comment but lets hope there's some truth in it!
