The latest menswear trend in denim: Fly Free (no joke)
Hey men! How are you? Feeling bogged down?
Just wanna fly free? Well now you can!
Fly free jeans are based on historical garments and they remind me of the Family Von Trapp
What do you think?

Just another manic Monday
Top: vintage
Dress: Agent 99 @ General Pants
Belt: Country Road
Leggings: Audrey Kitching for Lipstick Prophets (limited edition)
Shoes: Jeffrey Campbell @ Solestruck.com
Mondays are usually quite black days for me, in many ways, so I thought it fitting to
dress like Wednesday Adams, minus the black plaits.
I find my studded JC's really give any outfit an edge.
Love,

This Is How I Feel

Intergalactic Planetary
You've done it again Mr. Campbell.
You've blown my mind.
For what else could I wear with my Black Milk galaxy tights?
I've worn them with sequins,
I've worn them with glitter,
But what I really needed was an Intergalactic Lita!

Snaking around: The rise and fall of Topshop
Topshop kills me.
Most of the time it's a great way of seeing fast trends, well, fast! But lately, it seems they're lowering their standards in several ways, and this is so disappointing.
For my birthday, I wanted some simple black boots with a mid-heel, and I found these on Topshop, with silver zips down both sides. These were not disappointing and I am very happy with my purchase, however I ordered a 41, even though I'm always a 40, and thank SHOES I did, because they fit snugly.
The second item I purchased was a black leather jacket with chocolate brown sleeves. In tops I am usually a 10-12, so I ordered a UK12 in the jacket so it'd be a bit looser and I could wear a few layers under it for Winter. When it arrived, I immediately saw it was too small. I got one of the girls at work to try it on, and then another. It fit like an 8.
To cut a long story short, I complained online, received no reply, applied for a refund, posted it back ($45 later) and still haven't received a reply to my hand-written letter I put in the parcel or my money back.
And now what do they do?
Release the most hideous pants I've seen in a long time:
I mean, really!
That coating is so thick, and it's stretchy fabric, so the print will 100% crack and peel.
And the high polyester content will make them like wearing plastic pants (Sauna skins?)
So yeah.
I'd buy shoes again from Topshop, but that's about it.

I'm back in the game!
Why hello there!
It's been a while since I've posted, so I thought I'd try my hardest to get back into it!
I've been super busy with work, my band Cordelia Dead and seeing friends and buying shoes....
Partially good excuses, but also I'd really love to show you what I've found these past few weeks.
Some amazing images!
But I'd also really like to try and post personal photos and items to make this blog more special
I did consider starting a new one, but that's what I always do, and I'd rather keep this flame burning until there's a proper reason to light a new fire.
so enjoy, and please re-post on facebook or wherever!!
1. These Topshop colour-block suede heels are shouting out "Buy me! Buy me!"
2. Lady GaGa has a Tumblr account and posts her outfits and images of her sleeping on aeroplanes - love it!

3. Kelly Osbourne is geek chic for her 2nd season of representin' Material Girl by Madonna
4. Flare jeans are not going anywhere - there here for another season (Summer 2011), so if you were a little slow to jump on board, never fear, you've got plenty of time!
5. Fluoro-coloured bags are so hot right now (and will be for Summer/festival season). Get on it!!
More trends and shoes to come!! Enjoy!
Love,
Wear + Tear.

Yen magazine: The look that I've been rocking
I've been rocking this look for the past month or so now
I must be onto something!
Love,
Wear + Tear
Summer's over...
(DRESS: St. Lenny, CARDI: Country Road, BELT: vintage, SHOES: Jeffrey Campbell)
I don't even like Summer that much - but I do adore the endless outfit possibilities!
But that's all over now. Out with the floral dresses and clogs (although with socks this still may be possible) and in with the cashmere cardis and chunky boots!

These are super-hero-worthy and I want want want!

Lita is a rebel!
Lita has come in so many different colours, textures, fabrications and forms - there doesn't seem to be an end to the craze! Just stumbled upon this studded Lita and boy am I in love.
Alas I cannot justify having another pair of Litas when I have 4 new pairs of shoes from Solestruck working their way through customs as we speak, so I thought I'd just show you!
If anyone buys these, I'd love to see a pic of them in action.
Love,
Wear + Tear.
