eye candy..

I adore 80's prom dresses - velvet and bright colours...sigh. I found a GORGEOUS one today in Notting Hill, black velvet off the shoulder, the entire top hem lined with big red bows. SO CUTE! Never mind that I was supposed to be shopping for coats... :)

Here are some more hot little numbers for your viewing pleasure..

(the first two are currently for sale by Spanish Moss Vintage)

The Trench Coat

Well, its getting chilly and everyone seems to be pulling out their classic trench coats!! Personally I am inclinded to think that the popularity of the trench coat can be put down to the recession; more and more people are sticking to classic styles that will last rather than spending all their money on passing trends, and retailers and designers recognise this and cash in on making the classics!! Well, its a threory. It could just be that they're a wonderful way to ward of the cold in style!

While I cant say that I've been completely swept away by Lady Trench ( I'm not sure about being smothered in camel tan), I will admit that I definitely looking forward to purchasing a new one this season! Thankfully, we have a large range of styles and colours to choose from this year.

I had a vision, (pause for dramatic effect), of a devine navy flare trench with gold rimmed buttons, worn with a SUPER CUTE fairy tutu, leggings, and pink pumps. Sigh.. I will not rest until I have made this vision a reality!!!

For a little preview of my amazing future autumn outfit, let's all put our immagination caps on!

Add those all together and Yaneka is a princess this autumn!! :) Yay. All I have to do now is find all these items...

I LOVE: Zooey Deschanel

Okay, let me tell you about this lovely girl called Zooey. She first caught my attention in the movie Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, and I'm sure you've seen her in Yes Man, and most recently in 500 Days of Summer. And I know you'll agree with me, she's adorable!! And she has such great style! I love her quirky flair that seems to come through everything she does, from her strange (and wonderful) music to her vintage style. Just have a look at some of the outfits she's pulled together..




Isnt she cute! Her 50's/60's style has made her a definite go-to girl for fashion inspiration. I have been searching for a coat like the one she wore in Yes Man for the last six months! I still havent found one, I may just have to make one.

Sigh. Thankyou Zooey for all the loveliness you bring to the world.. :)

The Big White Dress...?

So, I've been going through one of those girly phases of looking at wedding dresses, daydreaming about that fairytale day with a handsome man and a rather extravagant dress! But you know, as I searched the Google machine with my yummy hot chocolate, I found that every dress I saw I didn't like!! So I kept searching, and still nothing.

This worried me. What will happen, I thought, if I were to get married soon? I can't get married if I can’t find a dress I like, that's just preposterous!! So I have been noodling with the idea of designing my own... What will it look like? I have no idea but I’m sure when the day arrives it will be grand!

However, in all my searching I did stumble across a few rather interesting outfits that I found intriguing. And after seeing these, I really have to wonder, what would I wear on the big day? What would you wear? Would you wear this?


Even though it doesnt suit my personality at all, I would be very tempted to wear this dress if it wasnt a one-time-only deal. I LOVE the black lace hooked onto her thighs, its so sexy! What do you think, would you wear it?

I am also very curious about how people feel concerning the colour of their dress. I've seen more brides in creams and off whites than the traditional white, but what about other colours altogether? Would you wear blue or red? Like this dress, it's very pretty, but would you wear blue on your wedding day?

Hmmm so many new ideas to think about! To me it seems that the most important thing about a wedding dress in the modern day is that it remains true to the identity of the bride. A visual representation, if you will, of who the groom is committing himself to. We embrace individuality over tradition, which means a whole new day and age for the wedding dress. I would love to hear your thoughts on the subject!! Should we keep with tradition or discard it? What do you want for your wedding, or (if you are married), what was important for you?

Thanks for reading :)
