Dedicated Follower of Fashion

Adidas is looking to build on its fashionable reputation when it launches its fourth season of Originals by Originals. In order to up the fashion stakes, Adidas has Undefeated designer James Bond on board and has teamed him up with one of the biggest names in sport and fashion – David Beckham.

The new range is set to feature a fusion of British heritage fashion and American sports fashion, in line with the different backgrounds of its two main contributors. Originals by Originals also has another couple of collaborations in the pipeline, with Jeremy Scott and Kazuki Kuraishi both on its radar.

Men are pretty limited when it comes to finding decent high street clothes shops to buy gear from. The trouble seems to be that shopping in places like River Island, Topman, H&M and All Saints leaves men in the irritating predicament of going out dressed the same as every other fashion-conscious guy out there.

Unfortunately, the only alternative appears, on the face of it, to turn to expensive designer gear in a bid to be different, but this is something that most just can’t afford to do.

It is worth actually looking in places where you might not expect to find great men’s clothing. Shops like Mango and Zara actually do really impressive men’s collections – even though they are most famous for women’s clothes. Get online and browse these shops to see if you can’t find something stylish that will set you apart from the crowd.

Fashion adverts are well-known for being among the most risqué that make it onto billboards and the pages of magazines, but every so often there is an ad that causes too much controversy to hang about for long.

One of the latest Calvin Klein Jeans adverts to hit the billboards in Australia has now been banned because the powers that be have deemed it unsuitable. The ad drew complaints from women’s groups who were concerned that it was too suggestive of rape and sexual violence.

Those themes are unlikely to have been the motive behind the advert, but the fashion house will have to bow to the Advertising Standards Bureau and come up with something less inflammatory.

Fashions are constantly changing. No sooner have I just filled my wardrobe with the latest trends, than they have completely transformed, and it’s time to hit the shops again for the newest look.

But if like me, you’re a bit of a self confessed fashion victim, then you will no doubt have been left confused by what seems to be the latest trend.

There was a time when celebrities across the world were falling over themselves to get laser eye treatment to avoid having to wear glasses.

But now it seems that the speccy look is in and men and women in celeb-land are donning pairs of thick black rimmed glasses. Who knew that having four eyes could be so cool?!

Well everyone’s doing it. In fact, just this week, Myleene Klass was spotted on a panel show embracing her geeky look and wearing a pair of these trendy glasses.

But of course, not everyone suits this newest trend; you have to have the right image and face shape to pull it off. But maybe it’s time to experiment with glasses frames; and if they don’t suit me, then there’s always laser eye treatment to try.

The sun is shining, the nights are warm and the beer gardens are swarming with workers who have run out of work to sup an ice cold beer. Me and a couple of the girls from work are planning on doing this tomorrow, which is luckily dress down day. But, what can I wear to work that will instantly look just as good for the beer garden? I was planning on wearing skinny jeans a nice floaty top and a pair of heels, but will this be comfy enough to last me through the day and all night too? Hmm, I suppose I’m just going to have to try it and find out aren’t I!

I’m off on holiday in about 4 weeks time so have started shopping for swim wear and a new summer wardrobe.

I was looking round a few shops last night and saw loads of gorgeous bikini’s, but there was one slight problem. The dress size I normally buy would not cover me up and seemed to have been designed for someone with a less ample chest. I have this problem every year, I end up buying the next size up just for the top and then the bottoms end up being too baggy, not a good look!

The tops that are designed for bigger boobs tend to be under wired and aren’t particularly that flattering, especially when the wire digs in and gives you an extra tyre that you really don’t want!

Do you have this problem?

I’m having a bit of a dilemma and I need your help! I’m quite tall, probably about 5′9″ and I seem to  be finding that on a night out I tower above the majority of the men. Don’t get me wrong, I love being tall, but the more and more I go out, the more I realise that there aren’t that many tall men out there.

Anyway, I’m on the look out for some new shoes. Normally I opt for sky high heels which take me over 6ft. I need some that will elongate my legs but not make me look  like I’m walking around with canoes for shoes! I still want a heel, but a maybe one not so high! Any ideas where I can get a nice pair from?

Who would have thought it hey? Denim jackets being worn by every fashion conscious female who walks the streets! I haven’t worn one since I used to dance around at the school disco to Be Witched, but I actually went to buy one the other day because they appear to be back in fashion and look great in the Summer, teamed with a maxi dress!

Even the double denim look seems acceptable these days. I think I still have pictures of me in a pair of dark blue jeans, matching denim jacket and a pair of double souled Reebok Classics, god I was cool! However, this isn’t the double denim look that you can get away with these days! Teaming a light blue denim jacket with a gorgeous pair or skinny jeans and a mega pair of heels is your answer!

There are items of clothing that are made for women and ONLY women! These include skirts, corsets and LEGGINGS! I was listening to the radio yesterday and heard about the new craze of ‘Meggings’. Now, I’ve only just accepted mens skinny jeans, but isn’t man-leggings taking things a bit too far?

Not only are they going to make you look like you have chicken legs but they certainly don’t hide the bulge, so if you aren’t packing a lot down below, unlucky for you!

Surely it’s only the likes of Justin Hawkins and Iggy Pop who can get away with Meggings, not any Tom, Dick or Harry?!

I’m yet to see anyone sporting a pair, but when I do, I’m sure I’m going to be the one who is pointing and laughing!

Are you wanting to look like the hottest heavyweight in town? If so, why not purchase an item of clothing from the Hayemaker range. Yes that’s right, David Haye has brought out his own clothes line, costing of T-Shirts, Jumpers and Tracksuits. The items are pretty plain and only really consist of a round Hayemaker logo, however, they do come an a reasonable price.

The Hayemaker is also selling other merchandise on his online store, including posters and magazines. To check out what he has for sale, make sure you check out his website at www.hayemaker.com and let me know what you think.
