Olsen Fever!

Ever since I was a little girl, I have wanted to emulate the styles of Mary-Kate and Ashley. It has always been so relevant to what I wanted to be like. And now it's no different.

I really admire the way these girls make their choices. Take Mary-Kate for example; she was highlighted as a major style icon in the UK's Times for making outfit choices like a fashion editor, straight from the runway while her peers simply rocked out on Louboutins or what ever Ms Zoë had picked out for them this week. She was criticised by many over her unique look whilst and NYU, appropriately named 'Bag Lady Chic', however she insists that she wasn't trying to make an example - she was simply trying to keep warm.

I have always felt that Ashley's style was rather more similar too my own; slightly more classic, tailored pieces. She has always been feminine and well put together, even as an excessively girly-girl in 'Two of a Kind'! She tends to go for timeless elegance with deluxe accessories and always heels achieving a different, more 'Grown Up' Glamour than her sister.

2. Looking clean cut in a sharp blue shirt, skinnies, the ubiquitous wayfarers and some killer wedges to toughen up the look.

3. In a pale blue dress with pretty, blown out hair and livening the outfit with a bright blue clutch and black peep toes.

One can only imagine where these girls will go next!

You're the Boss, Applesauce!

Finally, after what seems a lifetime of waiting, I've seen Factory Girl. When they first started filming I was so excited that they'd be making a film based on the lives of two of the people who I've been extremely interested in for as long as I can remember, however, after waiting a year for it to be completed, then counting down the days 'til it's opening at cinemas it seemed as though it wasn't meant to be. No Cinemas within a 200 mile radius of my town were to be screening Factory Girl - devastation!

I watched clips and trailers on youtube, looked it up on imdb and google for as much information about the acting and the, more importantly, the costumes! But it just wasn't the same! This week, the DVD was released in the UK and yesterday I nipped out on my lunch break and fought through rainstorms and rude people to acquire my copy.

And I thought that it really lived up to all I'd hoped. Sienna Miller and Guy Pearce were glorious in their roles and I felt that Sienna really epitomised Edie and listening to old recordings of her and comparing photos, I thought she was fabulous and I was really able to envisage Edie, Warhol and the Factory. I also really enjoyed the short clip of Mary-Kate towards the start of the movie, she looked ever so glamorous!
I loved all of the outfits Sienna wore in the film, a gorgeous mix of eclectic and chic which Edie was so famous for.

And don't you think that the dress Sienna wore to the London premiere was stunning?! One of my favourite on her ever and I love how she wore the signature Sedgwick tights!

Holler if you hear me, Hey! Can I get a Witness!

I don't care what anyone has to say, Britney is awesome!
She went through a tough time and everyone was so negative, but that's society for you. No sympathy for those with obvious mental health issues. That being said, her VMA performance was pretty poor and also a little obscene!
Back to my original point. I LOVE her new songs, they're all over youtube and everyday at college I'll roll over to the IT centre to look up some pretty pictures and rock out to Britters!
Today was an ok day, I was feeling slightly better and the man voice was slightly less manly. Mondays are actually my favourite day at college because we have some of the best classes; textile design for fashion and furnishings based on a period from 1850 to 1980; fashion illustration, and fashion design based on a theme of your choice (I'm doing Marie Antoinette)

Stumbling through the latest issue of Harper's on my lunch break yesterday I came across a black leather, biker jacket from the A/W 07 Kate Moss for Topshop collection. It's gorgeous! very well cut and reasonably priced. However, I already have a jacket similar which Santa brought me last year and I couldn't part from that! All in all the A/W collection seems a LOT more inspiring than the debut collection which I found to be boring and dull, it's still quite plain and those infuriating vest tops remain but as a whole its definitely improved.

Here is the aforementioned jacket and some other pieces which I quite like;

Anyway, It's pretty late where I live and I've got a driving lesson at 7am tomorrow morning. So I'll leave you with a bit of Ms.Spears!

It's Fantastic! Obnoxious, but Fabulous!
