Jumpsuit Day!

So its been a month and I haven't posted any blogs so im feeling a bit guilty. But I have been a busy lady trying to plan my own jewellery and t shirt website and Ive been working hard(!) at the amazing fashion mecca (!!)that is Peacocks.

And every now and then Peas throws up a few gems and this rather trendy bodysuit http://www.peacocks.co.uk/Womenswear/Tops/Going_Out_Tops/GOLD_ONE_SHOULDER_BODYSUIT_-45082056.html is no exception! If I had the killer bod I wish I had Id sooooo have this.

Im currently searching high and low for a plain white oversized t shirt to wear with leggings and jeans and coming up zero..why is it so hard??? I found a great one in Zara, it was £14.90 but I had to wait a week cuz I had NO MONEY and then when I went back the Summer Sale was out and it was totally gone!!! I found a similar version on ASOS so i'll probably go for that but im having such an issue with what size I am right now it'll probably end up going back.

Its so hot and I feel ill. Im so typically British about it. Cant be too hot or its like unbearable. I had like, hay fever and now its morphed into a cold and a sore throat and stuffed up head and now its so hot im like...ewww...but I went for an interview today for an internship with a website called Atilier Mayer and after id finished I popped into Beyond Retro and bought myself something which I would never normally dream of wearing..a jumpsuit with a kind of global print! So random. I never imagined me even wearing a jumpsuit cuz im such a short arse but something about it made me want to try it on and after alot of dithering I finally did and when it was on it just kinda looked perfect for me, so i snapped it up for £22 and feel awful now cuz im so fuck poor and that money could have been used for something far more worthwhile or wearable. But I just couldnt leave the shop without it or I know I would have thought about it and dreamed about it and hated myself for not buying it like so many B.R pieces Ive missed out on. When I get the chance I'll picture it but for now here is a pic of Fearne Cotton in a very similar get up!!

I want whoever designed the Jem and the Holograms outfits to style me. Zebra print? snakeskin mini in purple pink hues?? neon green stillettos? silver bat wing top and muti coloued leggings?? its so now it hurts. must find out who this genius person is. It was such a cool time when I was younger and I used to go in this independant video shop and rent Jem videos. It was next door to this cool clothes shop. well it was pretty horrible looking back, but just cuz I was younger and I was with my older sister and I thought her clothes and perm were cool and the shop was covered in posters of like Madonna and whatever bands were in at the time. Probably Fuzzbox or something.

I Just Get Really Happy When They Finally Let Her Shop...

I started this blog last year, left it, deleted it, now im starting again. I just can't help but to do that thing where I write something, think its cool and then look back with mild embarassment. But im not so bothered now. Embarassments fine. Feeling all clever when your not is fine. And I wanted to kick off with my film+fashion blog. Please note most of these films are pretty squeaky clean-bubblegum like so if any one wants to mention something a tad more gritty that I have over looked please feel free to email me on foundacriminaluseforapillow@hotmail.com

So you know those days when ur feeling shit? Chuck one of these films on. They represent to me good harmless fun and name check all my fashiony boxes.

Well I've name checked Romy and Michelle in my title, cuz they make their own outfits, every scene is complete with some sort of chunky platform shoe, short sequin number or cherry accessories and the prom flash back where they've gone as "the Madonna twins"! Michelle would rather be unemployed than work in bargin margin and by the end they open their own store, style Heather Mooney (Jeanne Garfalo) and fold scarves all day!

Le Divorce is a cool film with Kate Hudson and Naomi Watts, where Kates character visits her older sister in Paris and delves into french culture. In short, she goes from laid back California hippy to Parisian chic and it's just really cool. I dont like the bit where she fucks the middle age womaniser tho. I much prefer the beardy boho charity worker.

Don't Tell Mom The Babysitters Dead is the best film. It's basically a young pre surgery Christina Applegate having to work on her summer vacation cuz her mom went away, and the babysitter from hell keeled over and died and they have no money. Rather than call mum up she goes to work to support her younger siblings. She fakes a cv and accidently gets the job of fashion assistant to Rose (the fabulous Joanna Cassidy of Blade Runner fame) who's head of a dodgy BHS style clothnig company. She has no idea what her job invloves, she can't use the fax machine and embezels petty cash. By the end she is designing her own line for them and holds a fashion show in her back garden, where she tehn does the whole movie confess all speech to all these buyers and company head honchos, its just so cool and the outfits are so early 90's. Hmmm think I might watch it now.

Clueless. How could this not be on the list? The knee socks and dolly t bars alone do it for me. I love Brittany Murphys make over.

Thirteen. Rachel Evan Wood is lead astray by her cool classsmate and ends up in all sorts of trouble, ie-drug use, self abuse, shoplifting, sexual deviance etc. It doesn't sound very fashiony but all this happens is amidst of Melrose Avenue shopping and pure trash LA, bare midriff, bangles, glitter and corset tops, motif skinny tees, customised trainers and leopard print jeans. In one scene they punch each others lights out whilst high then cover up their bruises and cuts with circus make up, face gems, flaos lashes and feather boas.

Factory Girl Sienna Miller, Edie Sedgewick, Warhol, 60's. It's not the best film kinda story/dialouge-wise, but I do love the outfits.

and then theres the no brainers-Devil Wears Prada and Confessions of a Shopaholic. As for TV, SUGAR RUSH, cuz i mean i loved Sugars trashy teenage thing and My So Called Life, cuz it was soooo grungy mid 90's, all those plaid shirts and ripped jumpers and ill fitting trousers, girls in shants and sneakers. and like if u were'nt like Rayanne and Angela then u were a cheerleader bascially. loved it. and obviously it was jared leto pre 30 seconds to mars. I failed to mention sex and the city cuz im just not a satc fan. I do like gossip girl tho, but I do hate Blake Lively..after Micha Barton..they give me hair envy of the highest calibre.
