Boyfriend Baggys




Boyfriend clothing-who’d have thought your fellas threads could look so good!..

..True, it’s been around for some time (much like the many pairs of soiled underpants carelessly strewn around the bedroom carpet and hallway, or that takeaway from last Friday that’s slowly growing its own type of ominous looking guacamole topping)...but with the continual rise of baggy denims with their floor skimming crotches and oversize plaid shirts, it seems those boys do still have their uses...

An eye for an eye a tooth for a tooth remember all those times you showed up late for work when they were hogging your hair straighteners?!?

Boyfriend gear's just a win-win for us ladies, chic, cheap, comfortable ...and best of all men seem to find it irresistible!

Perhaps owing to that sexy Bridget Bardot style cliché of some buxom beauty looking slightly dishevelled in her boyfriends shirt the morning after some midnight rendezvous…..And still, I cant help but giggle as i wonder if squeezing their size 11 feet into our tiny hot pink stilettos and cavorting around the bedroom in our lingerie is intended to have the same effect?!? :s

Tip: Strapped for cash? Put your purse away! Simply bag yourself a stylish beau and double your wardrobe possibilities in an instant! O.K its not quite that simple but still, there’s always your trusty pops or your older brother to steal clobber from.

A Retro-Fabulous Christmas


With frosty nights drawing in and the sound of sleigh bells and Noddy Holder just around the corner, it can only mean one thing… “IT’S CHRIIIIISTMAAAAAS!”
 
Ahhh Christmas, such a magical time; A time for socks, a time for family festivities with lovely uncle mike, a time when Saturday nights are no longer spent in the pub, but rather rocking out to Wham! in Morrison’s at 3am on the annual turkey hunt.
As the temperatures drop below freezing the ‘Michelin’ look becomes evermore popular, and shoving our toes in front of the fire in a desperate attempt to regain feeling and that semi-normal colour becomes a daily ritual.
But its not only a blast from the arctic we’re feeling this year...its a blast from the past.
…knitting needles at the ready because fairisle is back!
The Christmas jumper has never been so chic! Nordic prints, Snowflakes, reindeer, snowmen the quirkier the better! Show your originality in the real McCoy, rummage through local charity and retro shops to uncover some real 80s gems!
Tip: Dig out those dodgy old photos of Christmas dinner 1988 round Nana Pats. Grill your Dad and Uncle Dave on the whereabouts of those woolies, men are renowned for hording!
