Thoroughly modern millennial

  • Plug in baby

    I’ll admit right now when I definitely went through an emo style stage when I was in my early teens. It involved alot of black, converse, skinny jeans and listening to emo/indie/pop punk. I’ve grown out of it slightly but not enough to still be drawn to the look of ear tapers, flesh tunnels, plugs etc. I’m definitely not one to go for a huge gauge size but the smaller sizes still appeal to me (and won’t send my mother into shock :P). So you can imagine my surprise when I was browsing TopShop a few weeks ago when I found they sell fake plug earrings. There’s a wider range of styles and colours in store but I personally love the black version I saw yesterday of this silver one I’ve found online.

    What about you guys? What do you think about flesh tunnels/plugs?
     
    Should they be something brought into the mainstream?

  • Wear the runway trend now | Rock n Roll style at Just Cavalli S/S12

    Wear the runway trend now | Rock n Roll style at Just Cavalli S/S12

    I’m currently in the middle of a very hectic first week back at University so I’ve only just managed to catch up fully on the Milan Fashion Week collections for Spring/Summer 2012.

    One collection which certainly caught my eye was the Just Cavalli presentation. Encompassing the everything sexy about the label the collection had a retro Rock n Roll feel with an added boho twist. From leather to both leopard and snake prints to flowing dresses and shirts, though a S/S collection, I could definitely spot pieces that would easily work into an Autumn/Winter wardrobe.

    Below I’ve picked a few of my favourite pieces from around the web to help inspire you to re-create this look now before it becomes big in the Summer.

    This is probably the easiest collection of pieces to incorporate into an Autumn Wardrobe with all the darker colours and leather. But once it hits Summer will look great during festival season!
