NOTHING TASTES AS GOOD AS SKINNY FEELS

Just a tribute to the oh so cool Kate Moss of the 90's, who today celebrated her 40th, headed by her own oh so controversial words. 

Probably Moss' most famous and contentious quote, 'nothing tastes as good as skinny feels' has become a mantra for teenage girls and young adults. It is surely worthy of discussion and stigmatization when applied to the context of one's mental and physical health. 

I'm not sure I want to go into all that, but what the quote says to me is that Moss is someone who speaks her mind. It fascinates me how she was able to blurt out something so inconsequential to herself yet so outrageous to the public.

I basically have perpetual love for Moss and the simple fact she does what she wants. Happy 40th Kate, you absolute beaut xx

FIVE OR SO SHADES OF GREY

Top to bottom: Calvin Klein SS 08 / silver liquid / Nike luxe sportswear / Kate Moss / Acne SS 11 / Alexander Wang SS 13 / girl at airport / Leonardo Dicaprio. 

Sure, black is sleek. And white is crisp. But what is the value of grey?

For starters, there are at least fifty shades ie. blue grey, grey marle, silver, charcoal, pale grey etc. As the hue between black and white, grey hints of versatility and transeasonal dressing. It is the palette cleanser that will surely fuel many outfit lusts to come...

CRAZY SHIFTED LOVE

Clockwise, from top middle: Twiggy / Lindsey Wixson in Victoria Beckham / Shakuhachi / Cara Delevingne in Costume National / 4.collective sleeveless / Princess Polly / Alexander Wang / Asos leopard print / Kate Moss for US Vogue 1995 / Olivia Palermo in Free People / Lavish Alice / Cara Delevingne / Princess Polly / Bambi Northwood Blyth / Gabby Westbrook Patrick & Maddison Brown in Louis Vuitton / metallic grey marle shift / Emma Cook Joanie dress / Alexander Wang / Dragonberry / Jackie Kennedy Onassis / Shakuhachi.

At first glance of my Christmas wishlist, it is all too clear that shift dresses seem to be my flavour of the month. Always been a fan of sixties mod style and the silhouettes it has influenced, and it is high time I paid homage. As you can see, I'm particularly loving the bold colours and prints.

So I dedicate my first post to my new staple - shift dress. Hoping someone can find a bit of Christmas gift inspiration in this sea of shifts!
