Show Post: Markets, Summer and Great Head
Me Me Loves Markets
The idea that markets were a poor man department store is no longer. For the most part it is a haven of delights, delights of the fashionable kind. A where’s Wolly of treasures and anything but poor. The shining and alluring constant in such a variable place is there is a uniqueness that the High street is without. It is laden with all styles and more and is definitely the eclectic option from the vacuous franchises – where you’re likely to spot your clothes on someone else or worse still someone will spot where you shop! This week I’m urging you to forget trends and shop market! Here’s my pick:
- Portobello Market
- Brick Lane
- Spitalfields Market
- Camden Market
Thank technology for the internet and the internet for this link where you will hit upon a reliable guide, otherwise I might have had to copy and paste and pretend all that work was born from my blood sweat and tears.
Before we move to the next…if you venture through the eclectic route it’s good to equip a manual for inspiration. I recommend peeking at street style photo blogs (Style Clicker and The Sartorialist) for this inspiration. They are far more original and distinct than glossy mags and ultimately they are REAL people not airbrushed models with weight issues.
Summerwear as Winterwear
Me Me says ‘continue to wear your summer clothes this winter’. Don’t dismiss your feather weight wardrobe because you can still wear it despite the urge to nest in wool jumpers and lined trousers. Clever layering is the facilitator, just use clever layering. There is an impression that you must pack it up and stow it away until the first daffodil but this is some kind of wicked myth. The key is to be warm while wearing it not wrapped in cotton wool. In fact I'm wearing a boob tube now, but with it a plain cardigan and my biggest mummy cardigan (and a car). There’s no saying that you cannot wear short skirts, tee shirts and a flimsy top just make sure on goes two cardies, a coat, some tights and boots! And instead of halving your wardrobe and even spending on a new one, simply work with what you got!
Great Head
Don’t be fooled by my clever use of words…excuse the pun indeed. It’s anything but sexual in fact it’s about what you put on it (that makes it great) not what (great things) you do with it – wink wink carry on style. I wrote recently about a man using hair as his differentiation but it doesn't stop there....there's more than one way to get great head! Look below:
Make up - Lipsticks, eyes etc
Hats
Piercing
Hair - cutting, dying, curling, straightening
Ornamental/funky hair clips
Tattoos
Earrings
Glasses/shades
I change my hair every other month but thats not enough...lipstick is next on my list! why not try something new with yours...Get Great Head: Ok so I think I have exhausted the sexual conotations it might as well have been about head of the sexual variety.
