FASHION SMASHION

THIS weekend taught me that:

ONE] The fashion industry is conspiring against me: For years I have thought that my lack of excitement when it
         comes to shopping [and my lack of purchases] was down to my almost 'tomboy' nature. 'Maybe I'm just
         not that girly' I think as I look at my turquoise nails and rather short skirt. Nope, that clearly isn't the
         reason, something that was affirmed when I saw these two wonderful signs in Selfridges:


      Now on first look you could be forgiven for thinking that the country has gone Beyonce mad, what with her
      UK tour now in full swing [complete with zip-wire and sore throat], but no, this is just a clear indication that
      fashion has, to put it lightly, gone to shit. These two signs represent everything that I can't stand about the
      Little Mix-esque fashion of today. It is bright, it is bold, it is loud and it is proud, but it definitely is not
      beautiful. The problem with these new emerging pop bands is that they have single-handedly ruined
      highstreet fashion. What if I don't want to go to work looking like a fluorescent fruit salad? I certainly don't
      want to socialise with any; which leaves me with a problem. If the highstreet has gone neon-studded-mad
      and I can't afford designer wear [which I don't particularly love either], what on earth am I supposed to wear?
      Where am I supposed to shop? If you have any ideas, please, I'd love to know.

TWO] I missed Poppy: I can't believe how attached I have become to a little cat; but it has happened.
         Here she is staring me out through her new 'toy'
AWW POPS!
