Fashion Trends

Hey everyone I was just wondering what peolples fashion trends wher these days, after holidaying interstate its really funny to see how different the fashion trends are.

Im not a fashionista, but I think ugg boots are the funniest trend at the moment. One of the girls on big brother was wearing them with a micro mini the other night. That's one trend that everyone will look back on, in 5 yrs time and groan.

Where was your holiday? How different can it be?

ipods the biggest FASHION trend at the moment.. personal listening devices have gone crazy...

Went to Qld, everyone either wears surfy clothes or sk8ter clothing thats about it


way different to here really

Try visiting during schoolies week when they wear nothing LOL

First time I went up there for business during schoolies, our business associate lent me his HSV Grange Statesman to go cruising in.....much to the disgust of my GF stuck back here in Adelaide hehe

As you all know, I like to look funky, but be comfortable.

When I buy/make clothes for myself, I always ask myself "can I dance in this?" If the answer is no, then it aint bought or made....

thats a pretty good philosophy to have for wearing clothes.
Tho bringing it back to eskimopie you can dance in ugg boots. I reckon it redicoulous to match with a mini. I mean if its cold enough to wear ugg boots put some clothes on ffs.
I reckon its equally ludicrous when guys wear t-shirts & they got beanies on!!
make up your mind people!!!

*LOL IM RANTING NOW *

Hmm... but in saying what I said in my previous post, I am a bit of a fashion victim at times !!!

Since when

To keep up with the trends you need to spend lots of cash and i can't be stuffed. I'll go out every now and then and buy something spesh but other then that i just buy anything:)

fashion? whats that? I've heard it costs alot of money tho

I am colourblind(when it comes to clothes) and have no idea how to match colours ...hmmmm maybe that is why i became a raver

I'm not a fashion victim, i find it real hard to find somethin decent when i go shopping, i prefer to wear something thats comfortable and practical!

My fashion trend atm tho is my jumping shoes (keep an eye out for em at anthems )

Wear what you want

When you want

how u want?

.. cept for wen u try to go out with a hoodie as pants. it hurts.

that reminds me of the time I watched a mate try to put jeans on as a jumper

for 15 mins

slightly off topic -- but it sure was a fashion statement

Yeah right whos has the time or money to be spending in a shopping centre!!! Those places send me insain!! Crazy women with bags and old crazed ladys with trolleys and not to mention kids going bezerk. Yeah i couldnt think of a better place to be

ha i dont care what you wear with them micro minis rule

gotta admit.. love my shopping and spending sums of money on it..
altho, of late - been spending my money on other things.

if i go out on a regular basis - il go like 2 months without buying a dam thing...
stupid cranking! making me broke and prematurily brain dead..

shopping is only good when you can afford to buy everything you want not just the cheaper but not as good version then its like the best thing in the world.. and although i can be a fashion victim sometimes i always buy things on impulse because it looks so cool even if its the weirdest thing to wear...

I LOVE shopping!! Last time I did some good shopping I came home with a new car Fashion trends - I cant stand girls wearing the ugg boots with short skirts but honestly, each to their own. How boring would things be if we were all the same????

Wear what you want if it makes you feel good!!!

Yeah but its so worth being brain dead

Waht does every1 think about cowgirl hats.. if your like me, adn you were going out to heaven when these where big. Then you prolly hate them too

Haha... I have one! But not because it was fashionable, but because when I used to compete in rodeos, you actually had to wear one (believe it or not all competitors had a dress code - which included jeans, boots, cowboy hat, collared shirt and belt buckle.)


If the past 12 years, me fashion wearing has gone from gothic to grunge/punk to surfie to maternity wear to country to "RnB" style to comfy rave wear... in there somewhere is professional business wear, but that is only for work, and business meetings.

Ha, and the funny thing was, until about 3 months ago I'd never thrown out ANY of my clothes!!! so IO had all of these styles in my wardrobe!!

You own a cowgirl hat.....how come I never seen it

shopping... one of my favourite things

once i start i can't stop

best therapy ever

it's the truth!!!

shopping = happiness

I agree I shopping especially for shoes, dont know why just like them have to be all different colours tho...I guess its the raver in me. I am alwayz on the go so need to be comfortable without being bored with waht i got

Wanting to always buy shoes......that sounds like the girl in you

gold.. you walked right into that one Adam..

a brain?

whats that

mines gone, has been for ages

I guess I did

i wish i could say i just shop for shoes...

but it doesn't stop there unfortunately for my $money$

i'm a collector of everything... it's so much fun!

Yup - once you've got the new shoes, your old favourite jeans are simply not quite the right shade of blue to wear with them anymore, or the new shoes just HAVE to have a new length skirt to go with (because the belt-masquerading-as-skirt, mini, mid-thigh, knee-length, mid-calf, ankle-length, floor-length ones you already have aren't quite right.....)

Then of course you need several new tops to go with the new jeans or skirt (one for dancing in, one for going to dinner in, one for lounging around the house in and one for seeing your parents in) and then there's earrings, bracelets, necklaces, gloves, hats, scarfes, lipstick, eyeshadow and finally nail-polish that are absolutely essential or we'll look like some kind of idiot.....

No wonder all us chicks are broke!!!

But ya look good.... or atleast.. u think u do

Haha, I'd never actually told anyone I know in Adelaide about it coz I was a little worried about the grilling I'd get about it!

Its at my Pa's house, along with my saddle and boots. Decided to store them up there because I don't ever want to get rid of them, and they suit his house up in bute a lot better than they would mine!

And, saddles need to be oiled to keep them in good condition, and he has a lot more time than me to do it!

So, I am sorry guys, but I doubt you'll ever see me in my hat!

what I want to see u in your hat


Then i can really laugh

Just a question what is it with skirts over jeans... I mean u either wear a skirt or where the jeans not both.... can anyone shed some light on tis for me

oh god, that isnt back in fashion is it??!!! there are some shocking things about!

You know what never goes out of fashion? 3D GLASSES!!

its to hide the largious arsious

for those times when you wanna wear your jeans, but your bum looks too you can hide it with a skirt.

I understand

LOL...

I have those days too

and here i thought I was the only one, when i have those days i stay home

***NEWS FLASH***

New Rave style to be hitting Adelaide soon!
Countdown to launch t-10....9.....8....

And that reminds me of a time in a Melbourne bus station with some alcoholic derro wearing a jumper as pants (and he was commando underneath)...you can guess where the neck hole was....not a pretty sight let me tell you....

Fashion is what your girlfriend/wife/sister/friend tells you to wear.

i think im scarred for life!!

cheesegrater, you forgot mum in there

as was I
Adelaide derros just cannot compete with that!!!

MY EYES, MY BEAUTIFUL EYES!!!!

aaahhhh not something i ever want to imagin again

Yeah, Adelaide derros are tame compared to their interstate counterparts. We we driving up to a very busy melbourne intersection where two parallel roads merge with 2 cross roads. This derro propped himself right out on the pointy bit of the intersection where the two parallel roads merge, undid his fly and flopped out his tackle, then with hands located behind his head, proceded to relieve himself aiming out towards the middle of the intersection

Oh and his clothing style was the bomb...or was it that it needed a bomb? Those memory cells in my brain are not healthy examples after that exposure!

lets just hope fate is kind to us and we don't end up like that

yeh agreed

if i turn out like that...please someone put me out of my misery

nah, I'll just give you a dollar for "alcohol research"
actually more like fiddy cents ha ha ha

....
lol

...7...

All anthems Members will recieve discounted tickets to launch night




....6....5....

sweeeet

i hate... boots on the outside of jeans... especially those cowgirl type boots... god it looks so silly...

I'm definitely not a fashion victim... if it ain't comfy i ain't wearing it.... u get nice clothes that are super comfortable and look good.. why wear ones that aren't comfy and look ridiculous?? and so few girls actually look really good in a mini!!! when will they learn?!

shoot me if I ever leave the house in a mini and ugg boots too!

'D' and I ended up going to that party at Windsor Gardens on the weekend, and all I can say is what you described above is EXACTLY what she had on....tits out as usual too....I nearly told her to go home and change (again) but everyone has a right to express themselves I guess

i'm slappin her next time i see her... she wants to dress like a slapper and she'll damn well get one.

She did have to fit in tho...

so any druggies shirts about the place??? did u wear your flanny and ugg boots over your jeans???

happy pants are coming back people...

*hunts for sizzors*

i see anyone in happy pants and i'll cut them off!!!

You know I never leave home without them...actually I was in a hurry as we left and nearly did go out with my scabby old ugg boots on!!!! Thank Jebus I looked at my feet before I walked out the door....stylin!!!!
Sara said she and Luke were fighting in the car on the way to mine coz Luke looked like a bogan and Sara wasn't impressed...she was right though...he had on a flanny and a Metalica T shirt...Sara called him Whitesnake City ha ha ha
But she knew what he was when they got together...no use trying to change him now!!!!

same, i hate uncomfy clothes. i dont really buy fashionable items, more the ones that are always around and can be worn anywhere anytime.

and i so hate those young teen girls that walk around the city on a freezing day in a mini, i dont care if they look good, they are dickheads.
while they are in a mini, im in trackies, uggys, and a jacket....dont care it it dont look good, at least im warm

You know what I hate the most? 'Larger' girls with either hipster pants or a low cut mini skirt on with a foul old roll of fat prominently displayed for all to see....wrong wrong wrong...don't they have mirrors? I read an article in the Advertiser that gave it a name I liked - 'Muffintops' - coz the fat balloons out like the top of a muffin
They must be stopped

i know it is little scary

Its horrifying is what it is....I wonder who lets them out of the house looking like that????

no offence to anyone to any member 'Muffintop' clothin, but u look stupid

if u are over weight then u need to wear clothing that compliments ur body rather than makin u look stupid...(no offence)

i hate bootlegs, i love flares and baggy jeans.....bring em back u basterds

I am in total agreeance with you here....you can dress to flatter your body no matter what size you are (and I am certainly no size 8 supermodel by all means)...just coz Britney can pull it off does not mean anyone over size 12 should!!! All I ask is that they take a good look in the mirror before they leave the house - and it must be a full length one too

lol
the only one that can pull it off is kym (from kath and kym)

and thats coz she's totally taking the piss out of it all

lol thats it

i also HATE all that Dada, eminem, wutang, snoop, ect brand of clothing....so shit. *best impersination of a hardcore* yea man fully hardcore man

fully whackcore you mean

thats it

.....muffin top......

its fulli sic mate

I like my Bonds tops. I've always worn them whether I have muscles or not. So comfy and cheap and they look good with jeans, shorts and dare I say (?) slacks.

clothes!

I don't tend to follow fashion, tho it is hard when there is nothing else in the shops to buy, but i usually just go with what suits me and what's comfy!

If i like the fashion at one particular time i'll wear it... If i don't like it i'm not gonna waste my money and walk around looking stupid just to be "fashionable".

Besides, i find no matter what anyone wheres, if they have the confidence to pull it off (and look comforable) then that's far sexier then seeing someone struggle in uncomfortable clothes just coz its "fashionable".

You know what I really hate hearing...when people say thev've got nothing to wear or there's nothing to buy.

Grrr...that annoys me. They're just all really really picky

or the clothes out there are really, really ugly!!!! Not all styles suit all people so it's no surprise that sometimes you just can't find anything to buy.. especially with the way fashion is these days.. allot of it is just hideous!

yeah, agreed! some people just shouldn't wear horizontal stripes
(or full pink tracksuits... i'll never get that image out my head )

or mini skirts or boob tubes or skinny leg jeans or midriff tops.... fashion has allot to answer for!!

or undies on the outside of pants

I don't know... i've kinda become a fan of the skinny leg jeans!

yeah but i bet you can pull them off babe... put a girl who's over 80 kilos into them and it vomit worth... stuff bulging out in all the wrong places.... it's just one of those trends that only suit certain types!

I like the skinnyleg jeans phenomenon and the whole short short's phenomenon. It looks great on you girls but on guys is a big NO-NO

bbwwwahhaaahaaaa.. i bet cris p could pull it off!!!

how can you not be turned on by a guy in short shorts
bbbwwwaaahhh!!

haha true....its like the lovely muffin top look...

i could prob wear skinny leg jeans but just not my thing i still like the legs a bit flared or kinda bootlegish...
have a thing for singlet tops but trying to get out of it a bit... i own them in pink, blue, white, black... kinda sad!!!
love skirts in summer and def gators all the way i've got one pair of phatties but they just aint the same!!

god, spare us, i don't want to see that...i think the most amusing thing bout fashion and style is that it's circular... so don't throw out your skinny leg jeans (i love them as well) or short shorts (definite favourite) cos they're going to be back in in twenty years...whether you'll be able to fit into them still is another question...

yeah... i'm pretty peeved that my mum never kept her knee high boots.. ment i had to go out and buy my own!

so next anthems I'll be wearing my good ol footy shorts from year 7 then...they hug the bum and my boys in front

I dunno... everything seems to come into fashion at one point, there's hope yet!

For the latest club and rave fashions... keep you're eye on the mint studio thread guys... we've got some things in the pipeline that you'll die when you see!

sweeeeet!!! i'd luv some new rave stuf!! can never have too much

Meh, "fashion" seems to change every couple of weeks or so...who has the money (or energy) to keep up

at least rave wear is an expression of yourself & comfortable to boot

so true...

but whats with this whole 80's revival? skinney leg jeans, thick horizontal stripes... argh... I'm not a fan.

god.. nothing good came out of the eighties.. the fashion was all hideous all the time.. why people would want to relive the huge mistake that was the 80's i don't know.... I threw my fluro leg warmers, horizontal striped jumpers and acid wash too tight jeans out a long time ago in the hopes they would never come back... the world disappoints me so much sometimes!

I think this 80's revival is great... most of us have been throught it before, so we know better then to follow the trend, but it gives those who werent born or old enough to remember the 80's a change to frolic in the terrible leg warmers, acid washed jeans and horizontal striped jumpers... not to mention the:
side ponytail
Converse boot sneakers
3/4 leggings under overdone lace skirts!

(yeah go Madonna "like a Virgin"!!!)

god save us all... will we never learn from our past mistakes??!! *burns bubble skirt and over lacey camisole top*

OMG the converse boot sneakers.... *shudders*

oh yeah so wrong. at the bar on Gouger saturday night we saw the hamburglar.
large people should just not wear horizontal black and white stripes!!!


hmmm?! youve given me some new ideas for this coming summers wardrobe...

I'm sorry to bring out my inner geek, but i love those Converse sneaker boots... and am actually waiting till i go to Melbourne to get my hands on another pair!

*ok inner geek crawling back inside*

i was hoping we'd see you in it this saturday... it's your birthday - dress for the ocassion!!!

no short shorts tho...if we're going to make a man love pile on top o chris he has to be wearing something more covering...

and i saw some converse boot sneakers the other day....they were silver and padded..converse imitation moon boots! if there's something more eighties than that, i'd like to see it... (except the ruffled dresses...they can burn in the fires of hell along with their designer)

yeah you never know what might happen, boing!!

hmm what to wear, what to wear

check out platypus shoes in the myer centre in town if you like that short of thing babe

I just went and brought (put on layby) a jacket.. it's very old skool (audrey hepburn) looking, black with velvet flowers on it clinched waist and pleated skirt that comes to the calfs.. it's a one off and cost me $250! but i think it's a good price for what it was and the fact it's a one off..


I've really been getting into the old fashions.. and suprisingly seen alot of them around lately! when did this happen? it used to be so hard finding old fashioned clothing!!!

Hmm...I guess that's the thing with fashion, things come and go, and come back again...

That's why you should always hold on to old clothes, becayse guaranteed a few years later they will come back into fashion.

In the world of guys clothes (in my opinion), it's important to own at least 3 decent suits. A navy, a charcoal and a black suit. Single breasted is the go but I see double coming back into fashion in the Euro market.

oooh guys in suits!! YUM~!
No brown suits tho... that's boring accountant stereotype...altho i don't know any of my workmates to own a brown suit - oh wait my manager has a brown suit but she's a bit....yeh.

what do ppl think about guys who wear the huge sunnies that you see on alot of girls? i mean, i hear guys complaining about girls wearing them, saying they cover your whole face and look ridiculous.. yet i'm suprised at the amount of guys wearing them! and it's becoming way more prevelant!

they are even going for the big arm look too.. white with DIOR written across the side of them....

Yeah...those guys are borderline gay or at the most bi or just very very metrosexual. It doesn't bother me though coz I can't wear sunnies

Those skinny-assed tight black jeans that emo's wear are pretty gay. Apparently the guys all go into places like Supre and buy the smallest chicks one's to wear. That's just wierd.

yeah well.. emo's are just werid and wrong anyway!

clothes

what about clothes?

Body paint. Some of them are just crazy!

sometimes it looks cool tho....

they rock....I used to have some in the late eighties, a black and a red pair, and wore them everywhere

So much of what I see in shops is C.R.A.P. and fashions are such a quickly passing trend, its better to work out what suits you (your lifestyle and body shape) and stick to it

PS: Ban skinny legged black jeans on anyone

cammo!

does anyone know where i can take my shoes to get fixed? i don't mean just re-heeled, but somewhere they can redo the leather on the back of the heel too.. i'm sure there is somewhere they will do it!?!

help...?

can't remember the name but is opposite coles on grote street i think, the main road through victoria square, he is fantastic adn cheap but his repairs last

Fantasitc i'll check out the place on Saturday!

mwah! if it's what i'm after it'll be great help!!

This the watch I hope to be owning by my birthday CLICK HERE

So what's the big trend for Winter 2007 (guys & girls)?

TRENCH COATS!!!

Trench coats to the max! I bought mine from hong Kong, not even knowing that they were going to be "in" this winter...I don't usually follow fashion anyway

Other than that...Browns/blacks and greys I reckon...And purple shades...

Like I said, I don't follow it really, but I have noticed some things

Animal print is almost everywhere now too, in all sorts of clothing items and accessories...

Emo seems to be in now days...

Yeah.. i don't follow fashion "trends" either.. i stick to my own, but you have to follow fashion in a sense, it's pretty hard to get away from it when everyone is selling the same thing!

But i'm not to keen on the Purple! black, brown and grey i can deal with.. just not sure about purple.. especially as fashion is pushing towards purple tights this season.. don't really know anyone who could pull those off!

isn't emo more of a lifestyle trend as opposed to a fashion trend?

I like those things those girls were wearing in the fashion shows that they were showing on the news. Very short and showing lots of cheek. I'm loving these designers more and more

For us guys. I reckon suede and rollnecks will make a comeback but I'd rather just wear my hoodie and D&G jeans

nowdays it's turning into a fashion trend... i have a few friends who love the emo fashion and hate the lifestyle... some are even into the dance scene!

Yer I know exactly what you mean...I don't buy something because it's "fashionable", I buy things because that's all people are selling

Although I have to say that I haven't been able to find a handful of DECENT items at Supre for a VERY long time...I don't know what's going on in that store...I shop there alot, well try to, because their clothes fit me pretty well But yer, it's all meh.

My mum's into the purples this winter/autumn. Good for her I like purple, and I might pick up a few items. But I'm not about to dress head to toe in it. To me, purple is still a pretty dark colour. I plan to wear alot of orange in winter/autumn to brighten a dark and stormy day

I have to say though, that I DO NOT do brown. Just like I do not wear pink. Fair enough other people like it, great. But I will not wear it. Never liked pink. Ever. Don't even know why. And brown. Well it's brown Granted alot of people pull these colours off, as people pull off alot of weird trends. But it's not for me.



I wanna know is there certain things that people wish they could wear? Like things that you see other girls/guys wearing but that you think don't suit you?

Yeah...pink or salmon? I don't do pink and I dont do fluro. Something about it that comes across as sorta camp.

I wear underpants!

Brown is definately a colour i can pull off! used to be all i wore.. i love brown, it's not as harsh as black, but you can still match it with other colours.

I don't think there is a colour i would NEVER wear, but i do tend to stay away from Orange (one of my fave colours but just doesn't suit me) and Yellows.


Ever heard of Dita Von Tesse? I love her fasion, so 50's pin-up goth.. love the look, but could never pull it off!

rubber thongs, stubbies and a blue singlet

She's the sexiest woman on earth. Reminds me of my ex kinda

buck the trends. im gonna try and dress as bright as i can this winter. adelaide is already a city of brown. shitty brown heritage buildings... brown footpaths. brown dead trees. brown mudslide/rivertorrens

bring some colour to the palette guys. or are you going for the ninja camo blend in style.

brrrrrrrrt brown!

This post has been edited by march E: May 3 2007, 03:32 PM

yes i agree.. nice bright colours to bring smiles to ppls faces in this cold wet weather (which i know alot of ppl hate!)

I got this awesome bright red jacket i just brought... that'll definately be coming out of the wardrobe and on this weekend!!

Oh and girls.. colourful tights! Not every colour or pattern will suit everyone but they are absolutely awesome! you can get away with wearing ur mini skirt and short shorts in winter!

The name rings a bell, and I know exactly what style you're talking about, it's gorgeous.


That's my plan for this winter Got a bright orange trech coat Just waiting to get the right boots so that I can wear it

Dita Von Tesse was Marylin Mansons ex and she's a burlesque performer. She is so fraking sexy.

Ah yes, I know much about her

meh oops jase31 here

This post has been edited by groover: May 3 2007, 05:49 PM

meh what!?! that wasn't really a productive post! haha

I love all the oldfashioned shoes that are coming out now! ShooBiz have stax of them.. now just gotta save up to buy them all!



http://www.shoobiz.com.au/default.asp?

Meh to dita von tesse. She's alright, nothing especial.


mmm I wonder if anyone would have thought of wearing a trench coat 3 years ago? They have been for sale every winter season at various stores for the last 40 years...and only now they're in "fashion".

Yeah like 'cargo' army stuff, or eskimo jackets or asian dresses etc... all very seasonal but are around every year... Make your own statement i say.

Ohh.. i have an awesome eskimo jacket.. knited.. bright red.. very very warm.. only $90 from Globalise.. i'll get a picture and post it!

Does anyone know where they are selling turtleneck jumpers? unfortunately Supre don't seem to be selling them this season, and i need to find a store that makes very small brands.. (ie not target, big w or kmart as they are to big)

what about target/big w or kmart kids sections then? Kids are pretty fat these days, so they should still be small, yet big

otherwise try harris scruffs- they usually got heaps o stuff..

i find the cut is all wrong in the kids.. i've still got a "womans" shape.. it's just small that's all! but yeah.. i might check it out and see anyway! thnx.

Celeste have you tried Valleygirl, Dotti, MCL/MCT? They might not have them yet, but keep an eye out. They're bound to come out soon I reckon.

I know that Valleygirl & Dotti don't have them out yet, but yeah, i'm keeping a close eye on those stores.

Stores like MCL/MCT make really crappy ones.. brought them before.. they are either to big or really thin and the stitching rips when you try put ur arm in the sleeve.

I'll stear clear of their winter wear then I usually only buy jeans and cheap tops/dresses from there. Haven't had a problem with those things so far.

Yes.. their jean's rock! go FaceOff.. only $45 a pair who can complain!?!

But i've actually only just discovered how great Globalize is.. a bit expensive on something i know.. but some stuff is really good.. and you can find some good bargins there if you keep looking.

I've also fallen inlove with Adelaide Arcade (i think that's the one i'm thinking of.. where the cinema's used to be?) They have some nice little stores there one in particular called Juicy Peach. That's where i brought my one off jacket from. it's got some really nice stuff that you don't see in the chainstores. Plus i think there is a store there that sell's alot of Playboy stuffs. So i say definatly check out that arcade.

Playboy? I'm there

I don't have any current loves as far as fashion goes at the moment...

I have to say this.. i hate the trend girls are doing at the moment wearing summer dresses with long sleeved tops underneath!

IT LOOKS WRONG AND DODGY!

Can you not afford a winter wardrobe?

***

Ok, i get the whole knitted dress thing with the long sleeved top underneath.. but the pretty floral summer dresses with the turtlenecks and scoope necks, and even the strapless summer dresses over the top of long sleeved tops!

no no no.. definately not my thing!

hahaha i was talking about that the other week, everyone seems to of adopted their summer wardrobe by sticking a long sleeved top or leggings underneath it! its terrible!

thank God Chris took me shopping for my birthday. I couldn't afford winter clothes :S i had to wear summer tops with jackets and jeans that are falling off...

Got some wicked dresses. I love those tailored look dresses with the buttons HOT! But thats because i have the shape for it. The last 4 years not much has suited me because i have curves. Also got some leg warmers!!! Bring out my inner rave to the street! And mega big jackets with large buttons... so warm and yummy!

Oh.. i love the big jackets with big buttons! that's an awesome look. Tho they tend to look a bit stupid on me coz i'm so small.. looks like i'm drowning in them!! hehe..


meh.. women with curves look hot.. you could get away with anything lauren!

Where did you find the taylored dress? i'm having so much trouble finding nice winter dresses.

er... good question! One of those cheaper asian shops sell them like MCL or whatever they're called. About $30-$45 depending on what you buy. can wear them with/without leggins/long sleeve top, short jacket long jacket... Boots, heels... AH! I'm a matching queen so having diverse clothing is great!

I got one of those softer material ones too in black. Almost everywhere sells them at the moment. So comfy! hehe

oohhh.. i'm getting my jacket off layby this weekend! Finally after 6 weeks!

Can't wait to wear it.. will take photos and post!

can i take your photo and put it on my phone for lonely nights

i got dav a few jumpers from Ed harrys.... boys jumpers are much better than girls... needless to say that he is now missing one

no worries ike

I have to admit that i have finally sucumb to the flats invasion.. as much as i used to hate them i actually love them now.. only specific ones.. i guess it depends on their look as to how well they suit me.. but i'm hooked.. my wardrobe will soon be all flats and very few heels...

There's nothing wrong with flats.

Though I have to admit that I have always preferred my boots with heels.

But I too purchased a pair of boots that were flat, mainly so I could get more use out of my skinny leg jeans without having to wear heels ALL the time. Especially when work and casual outting were considered.

Not all that keen on sandal/dress shoes being flat though. My only flat open shoes will ever be thongs.

Yeah.. that's the reason i brought mine to .. to get more wear out of my skinny jeans! I'm also really getting into the "small heels" you know the boots and shoes with the really tiny heel on the back.. my ankles are so screwed from raving so they are much better for me.. seeing as i only really wear heel's at work or for special occasion anyway.

Yer I need a pair of shoes with, prererrably a small heel.

Come November when I'm 6 months pregnant I'll be damned if I'm wearing thongs with my 21st dress So I've started searching hehe. Might as well start now!

I'm still not liking much of the fashion for winter. Grey, black or white colours. Boring.

Dresses with leggings, no thanks, what about my poor cold arms? I'd prefer long jumpers and leggings.

I'm liking some of the Spring tops I have seen around. Though if I wasn't pregnant I wouldn't. They're all frumpy around the stomach, which will suit me just fine

off to mambo on wed to get some new boardies.. yup its spring.. im probably gonna wear nothign but boardshoret every day til june next year hahaha.. i love boardies.. have way too many pairs tho.

man I got a killa shirt from mambo a couple of yrs back - should go in again...usually get my stuff from yd.

..I am hating ALL the patterns on the girls boardshorts that are out at the moment.. had a quick look thought them yesterday.. and there are none i like!!!
(maybe i'm just to picky!?!).

Also, very unimpressed with the few stores taht are selling denim short shorts! $60 or more a pair.. i don't think so!!! Thank God good ol' Valley Girl are around with their good clothes at cheap prices!

When the trend of wearing a belt just below your breasts started emerging I thought it was wrong.

I just bought a belt for the exact purpose

I guess trends can grow on ya...

I got some nice white shorts today, white, wide but very pale pinstripe... will be great for summer nights

I have alway's loved the Maxi Dress trend, but all season i've never managed to find on that fit me properly, they are either to big, or they fit ok except the chest area where they expect a size 6 to have DD!!!

Anyway... managed to find a gorgeous one at a clearance store across the road from where i work my size, fits perfectly and on sale for $30!! w00t! I think i might go back and buy another one!

w00t!! Make that 2 new Maxi Dresses!!!

How cool... i put one of my Maxi Dresses on hold yesterday ($30 one) and went back to buy it today and... they had reduced the prices... so it was only $20! even better!!!

nice work

The clearance store also has some gorgeous black & white pointy toe shoes with three small buckles across it with a kitten heel! great for work again, only $20!!

Which clearance store is this that you speak of?

yeh please tell?

Greenacres Shopping Centre, cnr Muller Road & North East Road... I tell's ya it rocks!!

I'm in the market for some new designer sunnies.. can anyone tell me where they sell YSL? I've seen them online but have yet to find an Adelaide store that stocks the brand!

I'll probably buy mine either online or in Melbourne.. they are at lease $150 cheaper then anywhere i've seen in Adelaide!

Cece...buy them online. There are a few sunglass outlets down at Harbour Town but I'm not sure if they stock the Yves Saint Laurent brand.

I plan to buy them online, but i need to try them on.. i find most sunglasses don't fit me so i like to try them on and see how they sit before i buy them! I tried on so many D&G sunnies till i found the one's i have that fit nicely

That sounds too far for me to travel

Though I am going shopping next weekend, so I might pop in there...

Just brought some silver flats with G's on them... I'm not sure if they are supposed to be fake Guess shoes or another brand!?! but they are gorgeous and only $20!!

OK, here's my story: Looked at Valley Girl's online store, found some rad stuff on there. Went into an actual Valley Girl store, couldn't find the same items.

I've never shopped at Valley Girl before and would not know what size I am in there.

Can someone who shops at Supre and Valley Girl help me out here...

What is your Supre size equivelant to in Valley Girl? TOP SIZE ONLY

I shop at both places quite often and i range from a 3XS to XXS at Supre and that usually converts to a size 6 at Valley Girl.. the good thing about Valley Girl is that the sizes are still quite small so if you fit into the small sizes at Supre you'd probably do alright fitting into the size 6-8 (or XS they sometimes code them as).

Best option is to still try the stuff on tho.. coz you know how stores love to change the sizes of things!!

Right, so I'mma 'S' at Supre, so that would make me around a 10/12 at Valley Girl?

Does that sound about right?

Nah, i'd say you were an 8 the fit is looser at VG then at Supre who only specialise in ultra tight clothes! lol

I feel like i'm not making any sense! haha.. this is probably so confusing for you!

Nah, that makes sense.

Currently totally obsessed with flats.. at first really didn't like them the the range and patterns and looks that are coming out and especially the cheap price of them makes them perfect for pretty much perfect for every occasions!

I Flats

Calvin introduced me to my new favourite store on the weekend.... a tiny little nostalgic store in Adelaide Arcade called 1920.

The name say's it all really.. old fashioned one off pieces. They get new stock in monthly and it's very expensive (by my standards) but i am in love and already making a list of all the stuff i'm gonna.... lay-by there! hehe

Can't seem to find any nice boots out lately Hopefully there'll be some by winter!!

i saw some cute flats in target.... but i find target shoes heaps uncomfortable

How much do you plan on spending on boots? There are a few nice ones at Betts and there's also a cute shoe store in the Adelaide Arcade where they have these gorgeous red boots for $109.

I need to update my style. I'm getting old and I need to dress like I look like I'm in my 30's instead of looking in my 20's.

Anybody know what somebody in their 30's would wear?

I normally wear trendy tracksuits for everywhere; and jeans and fitting shirts when I'm out. But since I'm getting older, I figured I'd better update my wardrobe

I haven't seen any I like at Betts. The only pair there that I would buy I already have

i want some nice flats for work but i haven't seen any

yeha there are so many out there with ditzy patterns why cant they just make things plain n simple..

Well you were born Ana j/k

i got a pair of grandpa patterned short shorts the other day

and i also got a cardi (feck yes they are back in fashion !!!1)


im also looking for some nice flats and flat boots

i've been wearing cardis heaps for work!

they are so comfy and warm

good for the office

still looking for nice work shoes... also want some flat boots, and some with a heel (but not too high, and not a stiletto heel)

not asking for much are you kez

nope

Where do you get your cardi's from? I've been looking around but i can't seem to find any really nice ones. I've always loved cardi's.. ever since i was about 10 and got rid of my last one i've been waiting for them to come back into fashion!

Not sure if anyone is interested.. but found a site where you can buy vintage clothes, copies and originals circa 1920 to 1960..

It is an American store so all prices are in US dollars and you will have to add US$22 for regular shipping, but where else can you find designs like these?

target
valley girl
or temt

The Clearance store where i work has lots of flats on sale, usually around the $20 mark, some are really nice, pointy toe with buckles, they come in white, black, purple.

I got my cardi from Big W

and where is this place?

It's the one i keep telling you about!!!!

And the name of the shop and location is?

go back through the posts and you'll find out.. i've already told everyone about 3 times!!

Found a totally cute pair of brown pointy shoes (with the cutest bows) on sale from Novo in the city.. only $30!!

From now on i'm keeping an eye out on the Novo & Zu shoe sales.. i've found you can pick up awesome deals there!

I got my Christian Audigier hoodie today

i saw a pair of boots i want and a pair of heels! oooh

They were an absalute gorgeous pair babe.. and a bargain. and they look absalutle gorgeous on. we shall go back there this weekend

I'mma go shopping on Friday...And I'mma buy me some new tops. I don't have that many that I actually like wearing. I also need some winter stuffs...

yeah i agree.. i need more winter stuff.. jumpers and jeans especially!

Argh. Some things I saw Saturday night while out:

Girls wearing bras with corsets. WTF. You either have boobs or you don't. I'm guessing if you have to wear a bra with a corset that you don't. They weren't designed to wear bras with.

Girls with their bras showing. Like poking out the top of a shirt. On purpose. Not hot. It SCREAMS skank IMO.

Guys with the tight skinny leg jeans. Seriously, it's gone on long enough IMO. My theory is, the tighter the jeans, the smaller the package. One day scientists will link tight jeans on men to impotencey I'm sure.

Both guys and girls that don't dress for their body types. Plus size people trying to wear smaller sized items making themselves look far worse than they are. Dress for what your body type is, not what you want it to be. This also goes for "mature" men and women that try and pull off wearing something that the youths of today are wearing. Some, can do it. Most can't. Dress for how old you are not for how old you want to be. Some people take mid life crisis's or trying to capture their youths a bit too far IMO.

Argh there were so many poor outfit choices. I could go on forever lol!

haha i saw so many of them on Friday night at Earth, hayley and i nearly puked

ROFL.. I went out with a friend a while back and she had her bra showing and before we left i'm like.. "Oh, your bra is showing" and helped her to pull her top up and then she's like "it's supposed to be like that"

rofl

It's funny. Everyone has different tastes, I know that. I just don't agree with them

I need some help.. i've never been to a wedding and was wondering what kind of dress i should wear!?! is a long gown to much? is a cocktail dress to sexy? i have about a year, but i thought if i could get some pointers then i could start searching for the right dress.

At this stage they don't have a particular theme to the wedding, but is there certain colours i should stay away from or stick to?

Dont wear white.... Don't out-do the bride. Dress concervative and you should be alright.

I don't know what the bride's dress looks like!?!

any suggestions on the following...?

GOWNS

COCKTAIL

image not archived: 7748larger.jpg image not archived: 7568larger.jpg

Judging from previous experiences at being at many weddings ... Brides dresses are usually long and white

Both those cocktail dresses look ok. Black is too funeral-like though... getting married is a happy occasion... Black is a colour you just shouldn't wear to a wedding

Ah not always.. a friend of mine from primary school got married and from the pictures i saw she was wearing a long purple gown!!

but thanks for the help.. at least i got an idea of what to look for! xx

Celeste, a medium length cocktail gown is fine. I wore one to the wedding I last went to. Something evening'ish. I think short is too short and long is too long That's just me personally though, I'd stick to medium length.

What kind of reception are they having? Church, garden, beach? The reception location has alot to do with the style you should go for.


Yes, if you know what the bride is wearing try to avoid that. I would also avoid a long dress if the bride is wearing a long dress.

I disagree with black being too funeral like. Last wedding I went to I wore a medium length black cocktail dress and so did the 2 other girls that were partners of the groomsmen. Matched their suits perfectly. But it was a pretty "alternative" wedding. (The groomsmen were wearing Chuck Taylors)

It all depends on what you feel comfortable in too! If it doesn't feel right, don't wear it.

I also had the "will cocktail be too sexy" feeling. But alot of the female guests were in cocktail and evening wear.

Hope that helps a bit ... I've got a wedding to go to in November as well, thinking about making a dress to wear hmmm ...

Those sites do help! and thanks for the advice Lucy! I think i have an idea of what to get now so shopping here i come!

No worries. Been to a few weddings. Spoken to lots of girls who've had weddings and been to weddings. On a few wedding forums and planning my own I'm bound to be full of something, whether it's useful or not is a different story

OR full of shit

did anyone else notice that she seems to be missing a leg!?!

Yes, that distressed me a little...

she is just doing a wanky pose

yeah you'll see the leg at the front is actually her right leg facing kinda left, and there is a very slight glimpse of her left leg behind the right

yuppers took me a while to work it out though lol

im loving the shoes in fashion this winter

Found a gorgeous knitted cardi in Sportsgirl that i'm gonna get this weekend (hopefully money permitting), or put on lay-by! I fell in love and they have it in my size!!!

what does it look like? do you have a pic? I was in sportsgirl yesterday... just curious.

Here is the picture.. but on the site it now say's it's only $79 when i swear it costs $120 instore!?!

woo hoo.. purchased the cardi and LOVE IT TO BITS!!!

Pics?

The cardi in the picture above (Post #245) is the cardi i brought.

Now on the look out for a red silky Business Shirt to wear with my Burberry slacks. I think I've found a nice one in Forever New (i think, Rundle Mall) for about $60.

Yes I saw that picture. But a pic of an item of clothing without a person in it is very un complimenting...

haha.. yes true! I'll get a picture for you. It's also a bit of an odd colour in that picture.. showing it a bit more red when infact it's more a musky purple/pink colour...

Just purchased pair of JLo shoes for this weekend. Gold, very sparkely, platform and massive heel (wooden look) $190 marked down to $50!!

i'm an op shop tragic.

OFFENSIVE T SHIRTS!!!!

Argh stumbled on a shop close to me that sells Bardot jeans. Why? Why did I ever walk in there They also sell Apple Bottom, Baby Phat, Guess and Goldigga. Such nice stuff. Roll on tax time Might have to get me some Bardot jeans, I miss my old ones.

Ok, give it up.. where is this place?

Main North Rd, Sefton Plaza...Girls tonight told me it was called "Envy"

apple bottom jeans, boots with the fur (with the fur!) the whole club was lookin' at her...

That's how I explained the brand to my mum, I sung her the song

hahah north park it is

Yeah i know that store.. i work near there! never been in tho.. will have to make pit stop one day when doing the company errands!

have managed to get my hands on new season Juicy Couture Tracksuit and also Kathy Van Zeeland Shopper Bag!!

w00t

where did you get your Kathy Van Zeeland bag from Celeste???

I've seen 2 i'd like to get but they don't say whether they ship international or not

I got mine of Ebay. They always have great stock. Or you can try the Kathy Van Zeeland site. They don't ship to Australia, but they do ship to other courier companies that can then ship to Australia, and honestly.. all that is still cheaper then buying it from any store here in Australia.

DAMMIT i have seen a really nice overnight bag but i can't get it here!

where DO they ship to?

there are some people that are like a parcel forwarder... so say you want something from the states, you have it sent to this persons address then they forward it here... I know a few people that have used these kinda services and there are many reliable and reputable ones out there!

Nothing is impossible!!

That's it em.. if you give them delivery details for say FedEx or something they'll forward it on there.. and as long as FedEx are aware of it they'll in turn send it on to Australia!

There are also online stores that do ship to Australia, but they may not have all her stock.

http://www.kathyvanzeeland.com/
this site uses Ebags as their middle man (checkout) and although the site/company itself does not ship overseas it provides links to courier companies that do, see link below..

http://www.ebags.com/help/index.cfm?fuseac...k=International

hope this is of some help to you Kez.
xxx

yeh i asked them about it, and queried the site the use, but they charge a monthly fee as well as a rediculous amount for shipping!!!
oh well i'll just wiat hehe but i've found a nice one on eBay

w00t.. just received my Juicy Couture Tracksuit.. man, i've never had a tracksuit that felt and looked so good!

then you never wore a 1/2 Miler!!

mum and dad are o.s. and asked me to email them a shopping list!!!

... but what do i want!?!?

EVERYTHING!

where are they?

coming back through K.L .... so they'll be able to buy almost anything

ahh nice.

just give them your clothing size, your favourite designer label, and your favourite colours and see what they can come up with!!

The Juicy Couture tracksuit i got...



the KVZ bag that I'm getting...

I love the tracksuit!

Sintra in TTP stock KVZ bags I'm sure of it...

what is it with jumper dresses and leggins at the moment? too many hot chicks around the office wearing them!

It looks hot!

I had a look there they they look like they are phasing stock out coz there is so little of the new range..





I agree.. it'd a damn hot look!!!

so 80's

I don't think it looks hot at all!

I know it is damn hot but soooo distracting!

well some people take it to far and make it look 80's but you can do it with a more modern look!

looks hot without the ankle boots
heels yes... ankle boots NO

Say NO to ankle boots.



Especially if you are wearing black leggings and white ankle boots.

Some girls can pull off ankle boots, some cannot.

knee high boots is what this hot chicky around the office has been wearing

knee highs is better than ankles... ankles should be worn with pants and thats final
