The British Summer has been working part time, hasn’t it? Just when we think it’s finally starting to sort it’s life out for the home stretch, it throws out another day where we need to cover up our ankles. I think it needs a bit of a helping hand. Cue a special Le Blow Hip […]
Now here is a brand collaboration I’m getting Genuinely Excited for. Lazy Oaf. And. BATMAN. Lazy Oaf has been a big fave of mine for a while now. It perfectly personifies the 80/90s cartoon-y, tongue-in-cheek colour-popping street wear trend this summer (as per my previous post) with it’s burger socks (you heard), pineapple T-shirts (why […]
So what the EFF do you do when you’ve bought into summer pastels and 50s shorter-than-short playsuits and the weather LITERALLY PISSES ALL OVER THEM. Eh? EH?! Don’t get mad, get streetwear (welcome) Ahhh, urban streetwear. Ever since the genius H&M Versace collaboration two seasons ago which Jessie J was literally BORN FOR (seriously, I […]
For once, I’m not going to waffle on. I know right? I must be terribly, terribly ill or something. I’m blaming Holst + Lee, a Brooklyn based fashion collaboration between designers Natalie Holst and Rochelle Lee. Do you see what they did there?! In uber trendy style, the pair met and flourished while working in […]
Well I tried to tell you so (yes, I did). But I guess you didn’t know. As I said the story goes. Baby, now I got the flow. Sorry! Whenever I write about MAC makeup, I (somewhat predictably) ALWAYS get Mark Morrison’s Return of the Mack stuck in my head. Anyway, this is just a […]
Crop tops, knicker shorts and cut-out dresses. I thought the most figure punishing of summer trends had peaked already until I noticed a sneaky little separate called the bloomer. Slowly taking old on the high street, bloomers are a micro trend for the slim of limb who want to push this season’s girly vibe to […]
We are BIG fans of London designer Olivia Rubin here at Le Blow – with her signature kitsch girly prints and patterns and hot pinks and with the likes of Fearne Cotton pioneering the quirky-cool designs she has been on our radar (if slightly out of our meagre budgets) for a while now. In fact, […]
This one is dedicated to my dearest friend Tamara ‘can I wear a pastel bouclé jacket to a garage night?’ Hopkins (follow her on Twitter here). The answer to the above is of COURSE, ‘yes’. So long as your lipstick matches, and indeed for all of us *looks down at fuschia jeans, lemon socks, mint jumper, […]
So… I am recently back at work (well temporarily, at least) after a few months ‘out’ (ahem!) and have realised my working wardrobe is severely lacking. I have been falling back on my fail safe uniform of coloured jeans, grey marl tees (the best invention EVER), jacket and heels. I need something new, something FRESH… […]
My romantic notion of bowling shoes is of Moddish ’60s sorts, Ocean Colour Scenesters and Lucy Van Pelt from the Peanuts cartoon. The reality is stinky, sweaty ‘corrective’ style shoes at the bowling alley, usually a men’s style thanks to my size 7s. But there’s just something about the two-toned, lace-up bowling shoe that’s deliciously […]
