Dr Martens

Long johns post will be coming up soon.

Soon.

I've been wanting a pair for a few months now. But every time I imagine myself purchasing them, I've been questioning whether I should actually buy them or not.

(Luella S/S 2008 - LOVE this collection.)

I'm totally undecided still.

Today, I got to have another proper look at them. They're fairly stiff and heavy. Yes, I know they're boots so that is what is to be expected, and they have be broken in to be not so stiff.

I love the idea of boots. They look cool and they're definitely going to keep your feet safe from a lot of things.

But girls in boots? They're fairly masculine, not the dainty, girly, little shoe type. Somewhat recenetly, they're becoming more in fashion, generally being worn with girly outfits, floral skirts, cute stuff. To balance the masculine style of course. I've looked at a few links with answers of what people think of girls in boots. Mostly, the guys were idiotic anyway, and disliked the idea, most girls were pro it. One of my friends were them pretty much most of the time, she gets by fine, no problems with getting boyfriends.

Different strokes, difference folks, right?

The original reason for me not to buy a pair was because I have ma-hoo-sive calfs. I'm really aware of them, though it doesn't stop me from wearing skinny jeans and leggings. But if the shoes end from just the calf, that isn't going to be flattering, it'll just make them look bigger. And now, the added dilemma of looking too butch. I dress kinda grungey now anyway, not particularly girly. So added boots aren't going to help.

BUT I WANT THEM!

Despite my crappy body shape - apple if you must know, weight mainly shift around the middle. The worst shape of course. Thanks fate.

Luckily, despite this, my legs are fairly skinny, hence me just wearing leggings all the time. Because I can. I don't show cleavage, I show leg. Short little legs.

I'm making an effort to lose weight, so hopefully by the time I wear them all the time, i'll be this skinny asian chick with boots.

Agy Deyn is a good example for a constant boot wearer. Quite a few images of her wearing them around.

I just want to go NYC now. Fuck uni. NYC.

And I have a shitting headache.

Chanel S/S 2008

Uh huh. Thats what the post is about today.

I tend to do a lot of random un-fashion posts so here is the second of many many many to come! - Get myself ready as being COMPLETELY fashion obsessed Fashion (Design/Styling/Promotion) Student come September. Plus this is meant to be a Art/Fashion/Random-ness blog, the former and last are the ones the posts on this blog tend to be about, so i owe it to you that i have fashion images and fashion-ness.

Paris-Londres 2008

I love this collection. Chanel is one of the few designers that i can find few faults with - Karl is a legend. I think the Amy Winehouse inspired hair also helps, but the outfits alone are just amazing.

Oh, and it was Karl's first London show! Ooh.

Images taken from here:

I love love love the collection, especially these 5 pics (and a few others because blogger only lets you upload 5 at a time and there is about 7 more i love love, but 7 images in a row (with no writing in between) is a bit too much. ).

• The purple one - just because its in purple!!! It reminds me of a russian doll.
• The grey pops out quite a bit and the little bag is so cute!
• Daisy Lowe.
• Fuzzy puffball.
• Devon Aoki - im going to do a seperate post on her.
