Dress Up #3 : Kate Moss
In an attempt to procrastinate this evening I scrolled through all
my bookmarked pages. It is fair to say that I forgot about this blog. In a way
it was in a state of decay of some sort. Anyway, I wanted to write a post just
to get me back into the swing of things. I decided to do a 'Dress Up' because I
am a polyvore addict..
In honour of Kate Moss's 40th birthday two months ago I decided to focus on her casual but always cool style. I don't know why but Kate Moss has always been somebody I knew of since I was quite young - probably because she was more often than not mentioned in my mum's gossip magazines.

As you can see from the above collage Kate has the ultimate cool
style. Sometimes I do question her choices but then again she is an
international supermodel and I am just a girl sitting on her laptop so I don't
really have much say in the matter. Kate manages to pull off anything she wears
and makes the whole outfit look like she just rolled into it in the morning.
Her wardrobe consists of a lot of monochrome pieces with different textures. I
googled her for this and the majority of her outfits were black and white. I
never realised how much fur she wore. Lots of leather, lots of heels, lots of
smudgy eyeliner and just lots of cool. The collage below has a few of my
suggestions to recreate Kate's look. I tried to keep the prices down because if
I was trying to dress like her I would want low prices. I'm certain that if you
wanted better quality clothing you could find similar styles online. Links for
all the items in both collages are below.
Love,
Lily

What can I say, I love Company magazine!
Sometimes it's tricky to find a magazine that gives you exactly what you want. Some are too trashy, too full of rubbish, too much writing, too many photos, too much celeb, too much life issues... Blah blahhhh blahhhh. Anyway, Company magazine, is fabbby dabbby dooo.
A while ago they changed their look, and since then, I've loved it. It is possibly the only magazine that I must buy every issue of. It is largely fashion based, and simplifys everything that you would read in Vouge. However, it does also feature music, lifestyle, columns, travel and celebrity. In my eyes, for Fashion and Beauty lovers alike, this magazinr, is the perfect mix of everything. It's a nice price too!

Dress Up #2 : Florence Welch (12/12/12)
So for today's dress up, I decided to go for the redhead Florence Welch. I couldn't think of anybody to do it on for the past week or so, so I was inspired to do a post on the almighty Flo after I went to see her on her Ceremonials tour on Sunday. She was brilliant. Somebody started a fight and she started shouting at them and everybody started shouting her name. She didn't even wear shoes! Dress up posts are no longer just reserved for Saturdays by the way... Anyway Florence's style is quite out there but at the same time slightly preppy (I hope she isn't offended by that). She seems to also like wearing long dresses, which I like because many people wear really short skimpy dresses and it just annoys me. I feel that Florence may have been born in the wrong decade because of the vintage look she has going on. Many of Florence's pieces are dark tones that have a brocade pattern. That was me trying to use a lot of adjectives so here is some suggestions on how to dress like Florence Welch. I do appreciate that many of the items are out of a regular person's budget(like me) but we can admire, can't we?
Gucci wrap dress / Zipper dress / T By Alexander Wang / River Island , $40 / H&M high heels, $48 / Yves Saint Laurent leather shoulder bag / Roberto Coin cocktail ring / rag & bone leather hat / ASOS animal print sunglasses / NARS Cosmetics

Dress Up #1 : The Olsen Twins
Sorry about the lack of postage going on at the moment but we three friends are very busy people. Dress up posts are going to be saved for Saturdays when I can focus on different filmstars/models/singer/anybody-else-who-is-famous's style and give suggestions on how to get clothes like theirs. I decided to do a post a bit like the Lana one I did a couple of weeks back. The Olsen twins (Mary-Kate & Ashley) are the newest icons for the Undecidables. Technically, they aren't new because they have been around for YEAAAAAARS but I decided that maybe we should take a closer look at the style of the child stars. (Two of a Kind is still on the TV by the way!) The twins are slightly like Karl Lagerfeld in the sense that you hardly ever see them without the huge pair of shades covering their faces. When i see pictures of them I get a sort of bohemian chic/ stylish city woman vibe. This is due to the fact that nearly every single photograph i see them in they are wearing black and white or grey or another dull colour. Although sometimes you do get the odd splash of colour from a hat, scarf or a pair of shoes. Anyway.... If you want to dress like Mary-Kate & Ashley then I picked a few pieces that I think match their style.
Happy dress up!!
