'Vogued': hello this is 1980
...we'd like our Vogue back.
style by queens tagged me asking when i was 'Vogued'. By that they were asking when I entered 'fashionhood'. in plain speak, what was the vogue issue of the month/year i was born, plus 1 month as Vogue publish a month in advance.
this of course requires me to divulge my age but i don't mind, i like to believe i am like old episodes of SATC, fabulous and enduring, so here goes:

the Hello Lover tag
i'm not the type of girl to play favourites with my shoes whether Prada or Primark they get the same treatment. truth is I am an equal opportunity offender. my beloved babes all get left in random places at random times and all get a little bit 'forgotten' when the next 'great' pair of shoes come along.
but like a mother, I love 'em all- in different ways.
So to be forced to choose my 7 favourite pairs, which New Favourite thing made me to do (by way of this tag), is akin to asking the Queen to chose her favourite corgi - mean and terribly unfair.
So it is with pistol to head I have selected my 'not-favourite' favourite shoes.
In no particular order, they are:
hot molten Louboutin wedges: Because everyone needs a little CL in their lives.
silver and perspex Fendi peep toe platforms - my little striper shoes
Patent moc croc brogues - i love i love i love.
gold and black wedge peep toe shoes
there's a story behind these shoes. it goes, i saw em, loved em couldn't decide which ones to get and in a mega EUREKA moment I 'got it' and realised why the fashion fairies had put in me such a quandary and I bought both for the single purpose of wearing them together. To which one of my bezzy mates flatly supplied "you're such a fashion victim"
Victim schmictim I say, I have had plenty of fun nights in these bad boys (the recent grand vintage ball being one of them - pic coming soon) and the return in investment in flattery alone have made them well worth it!
I have pair, New Favourite Thing has a pair. 'Ugly/pretty' shoes - everyone should have a pair.
Oh if you knew how much I love these cow/snake print platform heels from Office. I ummed and ahhed about buying them so much but I am soooo glad I did. these too have paid for themselves in compliments alone.
Ahhh my Chloé's! Uncomfortable but beautiful to behold. 
My faux DM's; pink, shiny, heeled and comfortable. What's not to love!?and on to:

Fierce Friday: A tribute to the Pointer Sisters
if like me you grew up in the 80s Fridays are inextricably linked with Cadburys' cruchies - that milk chocolate bar with a "honeycombed" sugar centre. i loved the TV ads, chocolate tumbling and morphing to the sounds of the Pointer Sisters' "i'm so excited". CLASSIC.
And kudos to the girls. not only could they blow, they had a pretty wild sense of style that saw them in any and everything from prim '40s dresses to some pretty ghoulish 80s designs. not all looks should be replicated mind you, there are as many misses as hits but I take my cap off to them for being experimental, eclectic, extra fly and for singing one of my very fav. 80s choons "Automatic"

Fierce Friday: In Retrospect
Have you seen Beyonce's new video? it's too too much! I love it - I love the styling! then again i would. i am still in a Mad Men haze and everything 50s-esq is rocking my world right about now.
my obsession with the show had me running out of my bedroom - laptop in hand, screaming at my cousin 'you can't believe what just happened in the first episode of season 3' at 3 am this morning. nuts. yes, i am a little behind = yes, i have a lot to look forward to!
Back to Bey, packed in this video is EVERYTHING i love about fashion - the fun and frivolity, how it makes multiple statements about everything and nothing all at the same time but mostly how it transforms the ordinary to the EXTRAORDINARY even if it's just for a second or 5:01 as is the case.
Hats off Ms Carter.
Directors: MELINA & Bee Z
Executive Producer: Beyoncé for Parkwood Pictures
Producer: Dina Ciccotello
Editor: Clark Eddy
DP: Paul Laufer
PSST!
I'm going to The Grand Vintage Ball & Vintage Attire Pageant tonight
maybe i'll channel Bey, Joan and Betty and go all fifties glam.

Pretty.Freakin.Hot: A Fashion Story
PRETTY>FREAKIN>HOT!
what does one do on a quiet Sunday after soaking up the sun in the park? You go home, shove your tomboy cousin with
to-die-for legsinto a pair of too-small shoes, and a barely-there dress and coax her into your stairwell for a 'fun' shoot.
suffice it to say it was more 'fun' for me than her, but someone's got to suffer for art and today was her day. Thankfully, she and her killer legs were willing and able despite being
verya littledubious of her pop pink lips.
