MILITARY BOOTS

Hey dolls, hope you guys had a good week! Now it’s blog time.

Last week we looked at the sexy accessory fashionable enough to release the beast within... Your tights. We looked at how suspenders have taken legs by storm; now it’s time to look at something your feet would appreciate –Military boots.

I recently had a conversation about these boots, and realized it would be a great thing to blog about as it’s something you have to feel comfortable in. –Yeah their not easy to pull off. Chunky and black, military boots are usually associated with sexy army men, sweating under the scorching sun, stamping their feet to orders. Hah who knew girls could pull it off. Talk about chick’s running the world (check Beyonce’ in her vid. she’s wearing them!)

Military boots are a risk for anyone, as they have to be paired like any shoe, with the right accessories and clothes. Being large they make feet look giant like, and create a frumpy walk. Yet of course their sturdy, long lasting and extremely fashionable this winter. An investment even in the stingiest person’s eyes I guarantee!

Military boots come in a wide range of colors, though black is clearly a more favorable choice along with grey. Tan military boots = to a no no. You don’t want to look like you left them out in the sun resulting in them becoming discolored, and well, tanned. Plus it can’t really be paired up with jeans as I'm sure not a lot of people own shit colored jeans. If there is a person out there with brown jeans.. BIN THEM! BIN THEM NOW! + My apologies for the insult. I have a passionate hate towards brown jeans.

Anyway, boots have always been fashionable in winter, so here are ways to break away from the traditional UGG dilemma.

A) Uggs, pft yeah -Everyone’s wearing them. Like... everyone... even my mum!

B) Blimey...come to think of it even chavs.

C) PLUS I refuse to spend 230 euro to get another pair since now it’s “in” for MEN to also wear them –hence Muggs = MEN+UGGS. (Work it out). HAHA Muggs. How embarrassing God... Dear god.

I blame “The only way is Essex” which frankly can suck my d**k.

This is why Military boots have become a woman’s fashion item because YOU BLOODY MEN TOOK AWAY OUR UGGS. They were so comfy 

ANYWAY:

An excellent way to pair them?
Jumper (loose grey/ black)
Suspender (printed tights) Ouh I in cooperated the last blog into this one. Pure genius here guys. Trust me.

And duh the boots.

Hah’ easy. But... There is a dark side to them.
Do not end up looking gothic, black is the way forward but common; we want to be able to see you in the dark. Don’t go totally pitch black on our ass.

And by all means, NEVER EVER wear military boots with... a dress.
Avril Lavinge gave all teenage girls the idea that they can strut around in prom dresses and converse. Hah and then she got beat up last week. A warning sign to all -don’t go around in that you’d get shot.

Ok now to the price, good military boots and you know what I mean by good ladies, is 120 euro + which is high quality. But ASOS.. ah dear ASOS (www.asos.com) what would I do without you, has the same boots for less! Obviously with a difference in quality but you have more of a variety, color and size. Hurry though there aren’t many left.

Prices on asos vary from 50-100 for boots if not more. You have a great selection and it’s up to you what one you choose to sport. Plus they have designer ones too.

Let you feet tingle to the idea of opening a new box, smelling the pure leather (or fake whatever floats your boat) whilst touching the shiny surface of the boot. Just don’t do it in public, you’re going to look like a freak, then everyone’s going to go Avril Lavinge on ya ass.

So ladies, or guys..whoever’s reading this, ENJOY THE WINTER BOOT COLLECTION OF 2011. Rock out your military boots, stamp out your enemies and march towards a more fashionable you. HOW IMPOWERING.

Good luck see you next week!

TIGHTS

Hey guys welcome to the fashion blog, sorry I took ages to write anything and here I am blogging about tights my first week! But I’ve had a lot going on and I’ve been so busy.
So here it is! *Dunn dara dun dun dun dunnnnnnnnn* let’s hope my blogging skills are better than my typed singing.

-Tights.
Tights are not just only a winter accessory used to hide your leg hair when you can’t be bothered to shave/wax –whatever, or to stop you shivering like a leaf when you’re out to get drunk.

This year tights have made it big and to be more precise – with stocking print. Stocking’s are usually associated with you know, sex and passion and just full on strip-iness type of thing. Accessorized correctly though and you will end up looking more sophisticated than a girl who’s sending out the message “dude LAYY MEEE.” Hah.. We have all looked like that at one point. Common, don’t lie to mehh!

Topshop has a great variety of these, with a complete print of suspenders and bows. Let your creativity run wild when choosing your tights, the more out there the better. Paired with a simple little black dress, high heels and a clutch will make you look older. It’s bold, eye catching and... Warm. We don’t want anyone catching flipping Pneumonia whilst strutting their stuff in the outdoors.

You can also purchase thigh high sock tights; if I were you I’d go to the knitted section and pick a warm color which can be paired with a long jumper and military boots. Looking comfortable whilst fashionable also plays a big role.
Below is photo of me to show you what the complete look will... well look like:

I think I can add here that Topshop has been my favorite tight supplier –how posh so far. Their tights I'm not going to lie are expensive, I spent around 13 euro on this pair last week. Believe me I could have bought 3 packets of cigarettes with that so in addition it’s a way of cutting down your nicotine addiction. Kills 2 birds with one stone guys. One stone.

Anyway, the point is kids, have fun with your tights, DO NOT PLAY SAFE, go all out, but also know how to tone down your look we don’t want you looking like a prostitute, but hey if that’s your look work it... for money... or .. Yeah.

Have a great week guys! New post should be on if I can on Wednesday till I figure out with the boss (Rita) when I shall be posting blogs.

Kisses

R.
