Day 65. The 'I have nothing to wear' day

This is my greatest fear!!!

It simply cannot happen and um why would it. And how could it.

It is sadness that we have reached Day 65 which makes me think why stop here? Why?
Seriously why?

Stay tuned!

jjdp will be back!!

peace.

Day 64. Mixmash not gash

Mixing and mashing (not matching cos it won't) has never been soo easy.
Just get the most crazy patterns together and wear them like you mean it.

No-one will question you cos you seem too trendy - and by hell you are.
Here jjdp is rocking a few trends. Skinny jeans, crazy patterned jumper, plaid farmer sheepskin coat and the thigh high boots.
And a beanie.

Use your fashion wisely people.

peace.

Day 63. Sandals


I was at a Bloc party concert one time and someone threw a sandal on stage. A men's sandal.
The drummer proceeded to chastise the poor offender by saying that men's feet should not be shown in public. Up until recently I would have agreed but that was before I discovered these babies. (well I lie, I'm a huge fan of showing off your feet - provided they aren't hideously dirty or calloused - get a pedicure dammit) - but it did make for a good intro though right.

Anywho - I try and wear sandals with anything - they can add that edge to everything - think tux with a pair of these babies - you would rock that joint, I'm telling you!

Try and steer away from the normal - as the above. One toe - very cool and not that many people have them!

I got mine in Africa but there are stores locally selling them - and they have recently shown up in the Spring/Summer collections 10.
so get in now while sales are on for next season!!

Day 62. Signature Sox

Ever been in a meeting and caught a quick glimpse of someone's sox?
I have, many a time and I've never been more impressed than by someone who has managed to co-ordinate their wardrobe down to the sock. And I'm not talking about the cartoon or those eeeky monday - sunday versions.

The rule is generally that your sox should match your trousers but throw that out of the window and go bold and bright.
Match it to your t-shirt or hat or whatever!

Once again Uniqlo comes out tops here - I might actually have one of every colour they make including ice-white, electric blue and
midnight orange.

Day 61. Wide linen pants


These are a particular favourite with hippies and the like and I was fortunate enough to get mine from Thailand.

They are easy to wear and I just lounge around in them at home. They also make for great pj's or just for hanging around the pool.
And if you stand in the wind and make some very creative capoeira moves you will look amazing.

peace.

Day 60. BootCamp


Boots are gonna be huge for Fall Winter '09.

Boys go for the higher ones think above your ankle and just below your knee.
Get as many as you can I'd say. You will be set apart from the rest.

Wear with skinny jeans and also get some long socks and wear them peeking out just above the boot.

Day 59. Skinny & Green

And I'm not talking about a Caterpillar.

I've been a huge fan of coloured jeans since day 1 ( seriously - check it) and the latest addition to my wardrobe is this
marvelous green pair. I have to say I love the Uniqlo range of skinnier that skinny jeans and wow do they make your ass look great.
Just make sure you can breathe when you sit down.

I love it! Also the trip to putting these babies on is to roll the legs up and then put them on gently - or in my case
just keep jumping till they come over your thighs. Eep!

Get on it.

peace.

Day 58. Forrest Fashion


Right Fall is here and its time to start the layering and accessorising.

Which generally means hats - i.e the trilby.

Here folks I'm sporting a vintage number in sued with quail feather detail.
It is accompanied with fingerless gloves and a dark chocolate sheepskin coat.

Hmm I'm all tingly already thinking of all of the loverly winter couture to follow.

Day 57. Red Rocket, Red Rocket

REd, Red red.

Get some. Nothing brightens up an outfit quite like this vibrant shade.
This little number is in a the brightest hue and its all mohair.
It just kinda makes you want to get naked and roll around on it.

Wear with your scarlet harlot jeans for a total recall and to stop traffic. Cos you know you will!

Day 56. Just for fun


Situation clothing.

Sometimes you just wanna have some fun.
There's only a very limited arena where one can wear a velour evening gown and slather yourself in glitter - and I'm not talking
about your best friends wedding here.

But when at a festival anything goes and thus I always take along with em a clean pair of pimsoles.
This time I took a vibrant pair of canary yellow ones. (Incase I get lost)
Anywho - get yourself a sharpie and start decorating.

Here I've gotten one of my friends the lovely Sophie to do one and I did the other - and what fun they were.
And if they get absolutely battered you will have no qualms chucking them. (and if you decide to keep them they make for a nice keepsake)

Yayness.

Day 55. Shag me


Masses Attack!

I say if something works for you try it in loads. It's more impactful.
Black goes with everything and make a proper statement (without the jungling of bangles)
I've always had a armful of these babies and they are pretty cheap too.
And it makes such a good conversation starter.

If you are lucky you might even get one - that might get broken *wink*
