The Zombie Wears Vintage

Once upon a time, in a land far far away, men had rather beautiful behinds. Thanks to excellently tailored trousers and jeans, the male posterior was enjoying its heyday, clad to the perfect degree of tightness, displayed to its very best. Curvy, squeezable, toned – good jeans were responsible for many of the appreciative (and gently objectifying) “ooooh” moments of many [...]

This is your chance. The chance you’ve always dreamt of. The chance to become a cartoon. Granted, not an animated cartoon, but who needs animation when you have copious glitter and magic instead?! This is one of those items of clothes that shouts to be worn. I can’t afford it… but maybe you can?

I’ve always liked Threadless. First off, they support up and coming designers, which just gives you a warm and fuzzy feeling. Secondly, they are reasonably priced, and even sometimes do free delivery, worldwide. Thirdly, they feature AWESOME designs – really left-field creative designs that more often than not are witty, pretty and downright brilliant. So, I thought [...]

Last night, I hated myself. Real, honest-to-goodness, self-loathing. I hated the pudginess of my body, the different shape that has developed over the past few months. I hated my skin, with the spots always lurking beneath the surface, with the bumpy scar-ridden pattern that is becoming all too familiar. I hated every single centimetre of myself, with a hot angry feeling [...]

The magazines are full of beautiful things at the moment. I flick through, queen of utterly-concious escapism, and gaze upon floral spring gowns and lace and pretty patterns. Even the tough stuff is somehow… soft. Like a bunny trying to be scary. My reaction to all this prettiness is to crave grunge. To desire edges, and roughness. [...]

I speculate, perhaps, that this isn’t my most remarkable title. It’s the sort of excitable and linguistically simple title that is only one step above my dodgiest of dodgy puns. The style favoured, perhaps, by cheeky teenagers rather than adult writers. But hey – I’ve just spent money I don’t have, on a dress I [...]

Yeah yeah yeah, I know. More shoes. But come on, these Irregular Choice boots are amazing. I suspect I may think they are amazing because they will make me feel like Mercury himself, ankles clad in silver wings and metallic futuristic bling. They are in the sale, down to £99 – but unfortunately that’s still out of my little budget!

You may have noticed a certain dearth of Dressember posts on here during, well, Dressember. Because, of course, you all sit around staring at your computer screen, asking yourselves and each other – “Why?! Why are there no Dressember posts?!”. Perhaps you lament, “I live for Lauren’s Dressember posts”. Or, more likely, perhaps you didn’t even notice at [...]

I have so many things to write about, they flit through my head, bounce around thoughtfully and demand to be discussed. The posts involve intellectual things, and geeky speculations, and almost definitely the wonders of Star Trek. They cover my dreams and my nightmares, because the thoughts and images I surrender to at night barely fit in my brain, [...]

I love love love these shoes. And they further reinforce my ever-growing opinion that I shouldn’t have “Irregular Choice 6″ set up in my saved eBay searches. It is, essentially a form of torture, and hurts more than it brings pleasure. Still, I am ever the masochist, and day after day I flick my eyes [...]
