Just by looking at my title you're probably wondering am I writing a blog, or running a marathon with a dodgy start?. Well, no not exactly, it is still a blog, and the blog is still on fashion. (I haven't suddenly changed my passion in life to sports.) No, they're basically the words I would match to my life over the last couple of months.
I feel like I have been running the ultimate race, and still am and am no where near the finish line!!! College has been crazy, being ill sadly didn't help as now that I am better and back on my feet and online again, it has come to my attention that I am worryingly behind, but determination is the key with these things so I'm back charging on.
That's what us Brit girls are about isn't it, once you've fallen off the saddle, the only thing left to do is to hop right back on again and up your game plan.
Back to fashion!
My 40's era is done after exploring Surrealism, the New Look, Nazi invasions and how to make your own hosiery with a piece of chork and well shaven legs when you can't afford to nip down to Marks and Spencer's! Safe to say I have really enjoyed it, however, like the genuine 40's woman probably felt after the war, I'm glad it's all over!
So, now that is all done I was left to chose my next adventure and where I fancied going with it.
As well as fashion I have a huge love and interest in music, not so much current tunes (even though I do love some of the indie bands at the moment such as The Crookes, Bombay Bicycle Club and The Jezables < check them out!!!) But more vintage sounds, such as The Smiths, Vintage Madonna and The Jesus and Mary Chain so, after listening to a good bit of 'there is a light that never goes out' I thought why not do the obvious and look even further to where it all began, it being my obsession with Vintage.
So, I have chosen to study the 80's. A lot of my personal style is very 80's influenced, more of a Morrisey/Pretty in Pink look though and less Madonna/New Romantics.
I love how the 80's changed the way we do things and how fashion was addressed and you were given a whole new freedom when it came to style and how people could dress, music became even more rebellious - influencing the fashions of the time, and designers such as the great Vivienne Westwood were launched onto our society, as well as legends such as shoulder pads!!
It's an Iconic era and I am bursting with excitement to get started.
Any excuse to go to Vintage shops, listen to The Smiths and watch hours of films such as 'Desperately seeking Susan' and 'Pretty in Pink' is a good enough one for me. Don't you agree?
