Berlin by Black Rebel Motorcycle Club-The song and the outfit

Berlin by Black Rebel Motorcycle Club



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWC_g5lXZ74

Rocking girls are you ready to walk in the street with your earphones in the maximum volume and lip-synching the lyrics of this song and slightly moving in the rhythm? Maybe even doing an air-guitar movement while on the street without caring if anyone is watching you? I don't know about you but I am always indulging my self with this action...It makes me feel so great and free...like you don't care for anything else in the world but yourself... Many passerby's will give you this strange look, but you shouldn't care. Why is it bad to have a good time in the monotonous everyday life? Moreover why also have a boring everyday outfit? Live your music, live your life, enjoy your freedom, cherish your uniqueness and dance everywhere, anywhere, anytime like you are the last person in the world...That's my advice! Hence, the outfit couldn't be combined with this song! I have to say that this is how I mostly get dressed when I go for a coffee or at the Uni...Simple, rock, comfortable and sexy with the tube skirt, the animal print tights, calf boots and a colourful bag...So even if you don't care about what's happening around you, still you will collect many head turnings...Enjoy it as much as I enjoy dancing to that tune!

About your dress by the Maccabees-The song and the outfit

About Your dress by the Maccabees




http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4xiP4gdTT4

Romance...we all search for a true romance in our lives! A fairy tale, woven with velvet, silk, satin and lace. A candlelit dinner in a park or next to a port, red wine, heart beats, veins ready to explode. Lost in his eyes, fondling his arm just forget who you are. Taking off your high heels to dance barefoot in the wet street intoxicated with his words...Becoming the queen of the night this is an outfit that you will be the most femme in his eyes...

Enjoy it as you will enjoy this night in his arm. This is a combination that I found in my recent market research. The most important is to feel beautiful for yourselves and for the one you want...I wish you a great night out!

By the way don't forget check out for updates in the page: my books and also check out the new page: my muse, my poems...I want to share them with you and in return you can give me your opinion!

Evil hearted you by The Yardbirds- A story of vintage clothing

Evil hearted you by the Yardbirds



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y45aHGWoQGs

Oh my, how much I love the 60s both in music and in fashion! Amazing dresses and amazing bands. It was the era of the beginning of revolutions...Black People fought for equality, women started working properly, rock 'n' roll, the shooting of a President and so many more...

But it is too difficult to find this type of clothing nowadays. Thank God there are so many vintage stores. However, you can't always be lucky finding something good. You have to go there again and again. You might find something that you like but not fitting you or maybe finding nothing at all. But it doesn't matter. Walking and going inside vintage stores is one of my favourite things to do. All the searching and the anticipation and even if you don't find anything you still have a chance to look to other stores near by like record stores where you can find a scarce cd or vinyl...

One of the best places is near Berwick street in London (because there are also several record stores)...so Soho won't dissapoint you. You also have the solution of visiting Camden Town and even if you don't find a thing you can always enjoy a book along with a coffee and great music in these places.

In Glasgow there are also plenty of Vintage Stores both In West End and in the City Centre...My fav are: Starry Starry Night, Vintage Guru, Vintage Glasgow both located in West End and Mr Ben's in King's Court in the City Centre (next to Mono or opposite the 13th Note)... So today I am not going to make an outfit but I will present you three of my dresses that I found in these places and my advice to not snob these lovely overwhelming stores...


So girls...get your swing and go to find your lovely vintage dress...

Red Flags and Long Nights by She wants Revenge-The song and the outfit

Red Flags and Long Nights by She Wants Revenge



Winter has come and you have to go to work, or to an interview or anything but you still want to feel warm. Thank God in Ness we trust. Tweed can be the best material for winter, keeps you so warm and since it is classic it is forever. A combination of a tweed jacket and a skirt with a fitted shirt and a pair of  less classic shoes can be deadly. To be honest this was my most common way of dressing when I was working in the Financial sector (yeap I quit so as to become a social scientist)! These red shoes from irregular choice are comfy and have saved me - stylishly- plenty of times the last three years...So dress up your way to success

She's a lady by Pulp-The song, the outfit

She's a lady by Pulp




She's a lady and so are you...whether you are to go to a wedding, or a dinner with your dream guy or any formal occasion, that's an outfit that will make anyone to kiss your hand. 

Karen Millen, is the brand that I use most often when I want to buy a formal dress...I love her because she combines sexy with classy and affordability. This is the latest dress that I have fallen for. Ready to embrace your figure and make you look like a diva.




http://www.karenmillen.com/signature-stretch-satin-dress/dresses/karenmillen/fcp-product/103DP19702

However, when it comes to formal wearing accessories play a really important rule. What caught my eye for this outfit is this snakeskin ted baker bag





http://www.tedbaker.com/women%27s/women%27s_accessories/bags/list.aspx#colours=9page=2&styCode=97733&colRef=54-PINK&path=/women's/women's%20accessories/bags/

Shoes, shoes and more shoes, irregular choice is my love...henceforth this cute and elegant pair of them.






http://www.schuh.co.uk/womens-black-irregular-choice-cortesan-wiskers-cat-bar/1158877050

Wrap your neck with this translucent floral design which emits a romantic sense...delivered to you by Ted Baker (again)

White is one of the most elegant colours. It is better to chose this type of coat and colour so as to make a discreet stand out!



http://www.karenmillen.com/classic-investment-coat/coats-&-jackets/karenmillen/fcp-product/011CP01049

The devil is in the details, and you are quite devilish aren't you?



http://www.annsummers.com/p/black-fishnet-bow-stockings/04skssas1088006

And as previously referred accessories are the dot on the i...and if you chose the scarf do not wear any necklace, just a bracelet, earrings and some fake eyelashes.

Le pastie de la Bourgeoisie by Belle & Sebastian- the song and the outfit

Le pastie de la Bourgeoisie by Belle & Sebastian


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjYdt1hhs-o

One of my fav songs...so I couldn't control myself and not think of an outfit that will combine the Bourgeoisie class, some of Kerouac's vintage and a nostalgic flare.

I can't resist to a nice dress, I believe that is the best thing that a woman can wear. So I found a cute dress that looks so 60s but has a modern twist, not to mention the great colours of it, they are so warm.




http://www.yumidirect.co.uk/women/dresses/fox-print-long-sleeve-dress.html

As for the shoes, burgundy (so as to match with this lovely fox) is one of the greatest colours of the seasons. I hope it will last more than this season





http://www.schuh.co.uk/womens-burgundy-hush-puppies-vivianna-ii/1455103220

I have to say that I adore mixing patterns in my style, but you have to be extra careful if you do that, otherwise it can end up as styling disaster. However I found this amazingly Boheme coat in Monsoon that the colours match exactly the dress


http://uk.monsoon.co.uk/view/product/uk_catalog/mon_1,mon_1.5/2930490812

And last but not least, so as to complete the Bourgeois look there is the urgent need of having a bag matching the shoes. Radley is one of the brands that I used often when I was working in the finance sector. There can be so girlish and on the same hand so serious.

So after making this outfit "Wouldn't you like to get away? Bestowing the memory of good and evil on the ones you left behind"?

Turn it up by Robots in disguise-The song and the outfit

Turn it up by Robots in disguise



Xmas are coming...but why waiting until then to wear something glitter-ish...You can go to a club and have as many drinks as you want and be the queen of the dance floor.

Today, while I was going to find some new CDs I went inside Topshop and tried this amazing dress which is so 80s that you simply cannot resist


And as you know you can't have the 80s look without some ankle boots...Irregular choice for once more has surprised me with this amazing pair of shoes, that will fit perfectly with that dress




PVC is one of my favourite materials for accessories and furla is a brand that made it convenient for us therefore so as to put an extravagant note to the outfit a bright candy satchel bag is perfect. I chose the white one because it is a colour that looks great with everything






Accessories and more accessories can make the difference in the 80s look. Loved the feather earrings from accesorize and a pair of green tights





And for the end...outerwear is always very important...we do not want to freeze especially at this time of year, so a biker style jacket with a twist of classic can be the best solution for this outfit


After pulling off this outfit, you can beat Amy Wringwald and make your own Breakfast Club!!!Under the disco ball we are all united!!!

Call me by Blondie-The song and the outfit

Blondie

Call me



Debbie Haris has been one of my styling inspirations...and hitherto today's styling will be dedicated to this song and this singer/icon

Rocking your vintage style, this combination can be a catching eye one, for your everyday appearances. Just showing the clothes and you can figure it out what to do!!!In Debbie we trust 

First of all the blouse...an animal print detail can make the difference in a plain black classical blouse.




but it will show off some more with what follows...a glam-rock 80s skirt, that will wrap up your curves





In order to enhance the vintage glam style you definitely need some coloured details i.e. jewellery and tights (tights always make the legs looked better) as well a wide waist belt (we are girls and we should show off a tiny waist as it is a major turn on)










Here I present you the shoes that I recently bought and they already have won a special place in my heart. Black studded ankle boots





And last but not least the jacket...a biker bike it's always a safe option and you can combine it with so many other clothes (even with a formal dress if you can pull it off) and here is my choice...simple and classic.




Now girls, after wearing then you are going to make your everyday life your own stage...Let people admiring you, it's not bad

All for you by Imelda May-the song the outfit

All for you by Imelda May





http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8D4bSReiy6U

If you have a guy that all you do is for him, find a way to tell him so, and one of the best ways is to imprint your presence to his mind. The easiest way to do that is through a nice outfit (and the details of it)...So let's listen to the song and make into reality the advices that are hidden within it!



"Watch my lips while I'm telling you this
yeah it's all for you"

and that's why we pick the shade of Vivid Bright bluish red from Mac (which happens to be the lipstick that I use more often), so as to make him not missing a word coming from your mouth





"Every flick of the wrist, every swing of the hips
yeah it's all for you"

The best way to sway your hips while walking is with the right pair of stilletos. Check out these ones from Dunes, kinky and classy




"When I toss my hair, throw my head in the air
it's all for you"

Always Pay attention to the details even at hair, something simple and sweet could do the work like this bow band from Accesorize






"Every hook, every clip every twitch of the zip
it's all for you"

And now that we came to talk about twitches a pencil skirt always does a good job and it works every single time. Here is one proposal (by Alexander Wang) but you can find many many more online that will suit better at any individual body.






"I'm spelling it out it's not written in code
I want you so much I think I' m gonna explode
When I move real slow, babe I want you to know
it's all for you
Every bump every grind oh I think that you'll find that
it's all for you"

And the Best and my personal fav garment to a female wardrobe is the one that will give him clearly the message that all is for him. Here I present you a corset from a magnificent Spanish designer "Bibian Blue" 







"I'm spelling it out it's not written in code
I want you so much I think I'm gonna explode
Watch my lips while i'm telling you this it's all for you 
All for you"

I'm pretty sure that he will get your point after that...just to remember not to forget your garters underneath!!! They will show slightly from the slit! Give him a hint of what to expect on the next date and shout with your outfit what you came for!

Oh, and one last tip...your biggest weapon is your smile, do not omit that from your outfit, and trust me you'll be winners (at least you will be burlesque divas)

Bye Bye for now c u soon
