A Crush On Tartan

A little crush for tartan
 
Tartan
Tartan Trend
 
This season Tartan is Back : Carpe Diem . Above are some outfits I put together . Whilst browsing through many a Topshop outfit I found this truly inspirational and hilarious sequence of Tartan rules . Here it is ....




Cast your mind back to 1995 – in a time when Valley girls were Californian, (not like, Welsh) – Cher, Dionne and Tai introduced us to ‘makeovers’, ‘buyer’s remorse’ and ‘Baldwins’.
So much more than just your A typical teen drama, Clueless made a totally important cultural impact for decades to come – changing our vocabulary and the way we dress.
Adapted from Jane Austen’s Emma –  it made Brittany Murphy and Alicia Silverstone household names and gave us all the
tartan we’ve ever dreamed of. The Scots may have invented the fabric, but it was the girls of Beverley Hills High who made it their own. Mis matched, colourful, co-ordinated – bliss.
Now as fashion short circuits back to the ‘90s and there’s more plaid,
tartan and check on the streets than you can shake a stick at, let’s re-visit what Cher & co taught us about how to wear it:
1: Be fearless, tartan is not to be worn sporadically

2: Think matchy matchy, i.e. tartan on tartan on tartan.


 
3: Coordinate head-to-toe tartan with your best friend’s head-to-toe tartan.
 
4. Work out in tartan.
 
 
5: Tartan is acceptable for both AM and PM.
 

The return of The Polariod

In our high-tech society,  times are tough for the traditional gadget. Polaroid -- best known as the maker of iconic instamatic cameras -- has felt the sting of this. In December 2008, the world famous brand was forced to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in the US, driven out of the market by new digital photography products. However , since this the company has been bought and revived .  Their translucent pictures and retro look have formed a growing trend .
 I love taking pictures and by the time I am 18 I would love to line a massive room in a timeline of pictures of friends , family , flowers and many other things I have taken pictures of . Why do we take pictures ? To remind ourselves of fun , laughter , sadness , hope , beauty etc . I am genuinely happy that the polaroid has made a revival and I can't wait to buy one and start creating that wall .

Leggings - Are they Actually Acceptable ?

Let's cut to the chase here: Leggings are not trousers. Do not treat them as such, do not pretend that they're more opaque than they actually are, and do not, under any circumstances, sport them with just a tank top. Leggings operate in their own world, and you need to abide by their set of rules. Cover the butt. Don't go for anything shiny.

It can't be denied, however, that leggings are comfy, warm, and everything you want to wear after the temperatures have dipped. And, with the right styling tricks, they can even look fashion-forward. Really. So here are my different outfits that feature leggings . This really is a first .
