You know one of the things I hate the most about society?

Like an unfaithful partner I will refrain from explaining where I have been for the past few days and dive straight into this post!

I must immediately admit that as I type this I'm thinking that the use of this horrible word, 'hate' might JUST be me over-exaggerating my feelings towards this 'thing', there are PROBABLY more arduous situations rearing their ugly heads as I sit back complaining about something which to most people would appear insignificant but I just hate worst dressed lists! 

I will be completely honest with you, in terms of fashion I feel I can be very opinionated, I immodestly express my opinion on the way other people present themselves but at the same time I maintain in my mind that fashion is SUBJECTIVE people - SUBJECTIVE !

Who are we to sit back and name other people worst dressed? If that lady wants to rock a bin bag let her do it for God's sake! We really can't say for certain whether THAT will turn into a big trend in - what 2015 that could have been the next fashion mastermind you were laughing at love, how do YOU feel?  I can just imagine my best friend laughing at this type of rant but we really can't go on scrutinizing our peers simply for the fact that we don't understand their fashion point of view! It's just wrong!

With my rant over I would just like to give directors : Ruth Hogben,  and designer Gareth Pugh a HUGE hug because the baby they've created is just immense! No really I love it! It is MY type of video! It's futuristic, it's rhythmic, it's sex, it's unusual, it's alien and most importantly it's FASHION!! This man is an innovator and a true artist with a sight years ahead of us mortals I don't think I've been this excited over a collection since McQueen's Fall 2009 - absolutely captivating!

If you haven't already been blessed with the sight of this video here it is:


I LOVE the part from 7.12! What do you think?

Also take a look at another of his fashion videos:


Ruth and Gareth do make a wonderful team! I Hope to more films from them in the future! *EXCOITED*

Still thinking of a new years resolution

So I'm here planted on the couch peacefully waiting for 'Come Dine With Me' to begin, certainly not the most glamorous of ways to spend the first day of the year but I'd already decided to give the usual luxury hotel room and hot male model a pass this year (HAHA!). As rough as this year has been for me I can help but feel exceedingly content with everything that has taken place thus far in this utterly disjointed however favored life of mine...

Today was the the first time this year (technically speaking) that my brain had been fortunate enough to actually REFLECT | TCELFER on my life , reliving every emotional situation I've found myself in - appreciating every positive opportunity which has com my way and shaking my head at any negativity I have either received or given off at any point during the course of this tough year.


In this year I've found a significant part of myself - a part of me which I had honestly NO recollection of  up until this point. I've learnt to endure the ridicule and hardships in my life from those who do not wish well on me or do not understand or even care about me and have also tried my best to understand and accept those who don't necessarily share my vision of the world.


The year has also shown me what I'm yet to find in 2011 - my mind has been telling me to LIVE this year - not in the typical sense but LIVE - wake up looking forward to something in life- to feel motivated - to feel like I'm going somewhere I want to be. Right now I'm attached to strings and I'm moving at the will of others - whether it is selfish to think this way is still a mystery to me- but I will say this - I am yet another believer of fate - whatever I do decide to do, will definitely be something that will lead to bigger and better things.

I'm going to leave you with a few bits and bobs from my collection of inspiring images I found online ;)
