Style Icon: Audrey Kitching

29 May

She started as the queen of Myspace, and now she’s a model, designer and blogger. Frequently she’s described as a style icon and trend setter, but sometimes simultaneously described as a fashion disaster. Her style might be controversial, but there’s no doubt she’s a trend setter, with many believing she started the pink hair craze that models such as Charlotte Free have capitalized on, and the flower crown trend, which she was seen wearing long before Lana Del Rey came along.

Her style mixes kitsch and vintage with hints of graph prints, street style and a little dash of japan’s fashion subcultures. Most of the time, surprisingly, it seems to work, giving her a unique constantly changing style that’s difficult to copy. She runs a few fashion brands, including Tokyolux and Coco de Couer, and her vintage brand Lazy Bones.

Style Icon – Doe Deere

11 May

When I think of my favourite fashionistas that patron little boutiques, Etsy stores and handmade fashion, Doe Deere definitely swings to the forefront of my mind! she’s extremely well known in the blogophere, with her Russian doll face and kitsch-y cute style, she’s also the creature of cult make-up brand Lime Crime! She likes to play around with the conventions of fashion, and push the boundaries! It all results ina  cute mix of vintage lolita meets rainbow unicorn. Which is a good sense of style indeed in my opinion!

What are the best options when choosing wardrobes?

1 May

 

Today there are a number of different styles of storage and wardrobes wirral for the modern bedroom, from neat fold away bags to unusual hanging shoe boxes. Yet with all the choices available how do you make the right one?

 

Depending on your design and theme will shortlist what styles and colours are right for your room. Simplistic design, with an oriental twist is what is in vogue at the minute and there are many cheap solutions of mirrored and dark wooden furniture to compliment your style.

 

Women need storage and normally lots of it. Our dilemma in life is we want to display our bargains and buys yet we want our rooms to be neat and organised. One way of doing this is by investing in a decent size wardrobe, preferably fitted and mirrored to create space and reflect light.

 

 

In my opinion, your wardrobe must consist of a long rail to hang clothing, be high enough to see things at eye level, be deep enough to store all your shoes and have at least a side cupboard or bottom draw to keep accessories or bags.

 

Next you need a side cabinet for essential underwear, books to read before bed and to stand a side lamp on for those dark winter nights. It is essential to buy furniture as a package, so that all match in style and colour or to at least choose separates which have a flowing theme. For instance, in a cottage style room, do not team a mirrored wardrobe with a white finished cabinet, you definitely wont win any points for being original!

 

The heart of any woman’s room of course is the vanity cabinet or wherever she gazes at herself in the mirror to apply her make-up. This section of the room can never be too girly and so should be paid a lot of love and attention too. Perhaps use some pink lights around the rim of the mirror and have perfume bottles on display.

 

As long as you get the basics right, you can’t go wrong when redesigning your bedroom. Remember choose fitted and similar storage to create a flowing theme through the room
