New Online Boutique - Little Black Dress

No matter what a woman's age, shape or dress size and no matter what the occasion the little black dress is the sine qua non of the wardrobe.


Coco Chanel made it chic and a potent expression of women's identity and liberation 75 years ago, and today a new online boutique specializes in Little Black Dresses from some of U.K's independent designers. Making it that, just less arduous finding that perfect LBD.

BABY SAYS BOUTIQUE

E shop, on-line boutiques, I evermore relish stumbling upon a dewy on-line store something bursting with independence, low reproductions and hence..... deflatedly my excitement turns down a notch or two, when viewing the price's, which is understandable seeing as they are mostly an independent business, but I am pretty much chuffed by the affordable prices for all on Baby Says Boutique, some dresses start as low as £10.      

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD

“For The Love of God" is the collection born inside of a school project based on the study of an ethnicity as opposed to a theme of breaking. And who is the Student who shares us with his collection? Lorenzo Busato a Fashion Designer from Italy, who's new SS 10 collection has been galvanized by the works of Damien Hirst. Lorenzo explains, The essential & symbolical graphics, the concept of death estranged from it's meaning of pain, the dissection of the elements, the obsessive specularity, frequently used themes by Hirst, personally revisted for the project, become modular patterns to be applied on the fabrics, become a mask that lifts off the identity before the fear of death, become monumental shapes for clothes, alike architectural works, strong, impressive, which do not seem to bow to the passing of time.

I particularly find the standing figure and clothes of sculptures & geometrical volumes, quite eerily daunting and captivating at the same time, I think especially due to the faces are masked away and the same identical stance taken in each photo. This collection is certainly a window to the fusion of fashion, art, history & architecture, and If you want to see more from Lorenzo, you can follow Lorenzo's blog & flikr and I hope this eerily figure does not appear in a nightmare one night!

Silver Black Stone Armor Ring + Multi Chain Cross Connector Bracelet 

January feels like an odd month, if January was assigned to any day of the week it would be a Monday, the festive season is over , add to that freezing weather, but it is a chance for a fresh year! Although the credit card bills will be piling in, I am on a semi shopping ban, but not including accessories, as you all know just by accessorising and styling alone, can change a whole look of an outfit. Fashionology.nl has some lovely bits and pieces for reasonable hyena change, especially if you live in the Netherlands and Europe as I noticed the shipping price is dirt cheap. =]

Supersweet Digital Magazine

Someone else's Rice Cakes always looks tastier, and the eyes in this case do not deceive, SUPERSWEET Digital gives me the hunger of all hyena's commingled for, Music, Art, Fashion and culture. What first, attracted my hyena attention about Supersweet was how this Digital Magazine arose, a story is one that stretches the reaches of two continents, from Eastern Asia to Western Europe.

In a basement club in downtown Bangkok was a monthly indie disco by the name of Dudesweet.It was practically the only place in the city where the rock/indie/punk/goth/etc kids could go and dance to the music they liked, but it was still virtually impossible to buy the music, or hear anything about the bands that we loved.Clubs and event planners have tried and failed to create a space where so-called creatives can congregate. This is exactly where Dudesweet has succeeded in building its fanbase,among fashion designers, magazine editors, program directors and other commentators on taste and trends.

Eighteen months later came SUPERSWEET, intended as a magazine to accompany the party, and also something fun to do in the minds of the two disillusioned former art students who started it.Supersweet Digital is based in London and intended to the people here.and around the world.

A Axiom after my own heart, and to make something out of wood and paint it red, Supersweet have a digital online shop which stocks the likes of, Steve J Yoni P, Alexandre Herchcovitch, Atelier 1 and Alex Chloe. Steve J and Yoni P have sold out their Autumn/Winter range in various places already. Supersweet is a que of a rico place to get your hyena hands on some, grunge revival - over-sized checks, long sleeves and plenty of cajones when it comes to sharp and sexy tailoring.
