Opps I did it again oh baby baby....

I read a great article in The Times yesterday care of Lisa Armstrong the Fashion Editor. She highlighted the almost sense of deja vu of the perennial trend each season. For A/W read varying socialite trends titled, Park Lane Princess, Grown up dressing, Society chic etc. For S/S read varying titles for Out of Africa, Neutrals, Safari Chic - you get my drift.
Whilst there is nothing wrong with the the retro resurrection, the challenge Lisa debated is for the creation of the new and the argument can this be done? I don't have an answer, currently.

When I get my Style Bubble fix, usually every day, it keeps me update on several levels. Susie does good reviews and interesting posts about a variety of designers (as does Disneyrollergirl and Kingdom of Style to name a couple). She saves me quite a bit of time that I haven't got for research and gadding about getting it, also I love her outfit compilations (again same goes for Queen Michelle, Pandora, Fashion Toast, and everyone else, apologies for not naming everyone as I love and am inspired by so many, you're all good eggs!). And I reckon Susie and the rest of you have saved my business some £200 pounds a year in magazines. It also conjures up new and interesting possibilities, blending old and 'new'.

I'm not overly concerned about 'newness' in fashion or debating about can anything be new. I like to experiment and take risks still, even if it makes me look wacky or borderline mad old lady (sic. boyfriend jeans post) but I spotted a look last night that I thought has been consigned to the bad and not to be beholden again......cue this post by Fashion Nation.

Now I'm willing to bet that this is one look SharonRose Vintage will not be thrifting for - mais non?

Tired old moi

Doing a round trip of 525 miles in the name of fashion ain't much fun. In fact myself and the make up artist eating at Burger King at 7pm at a service station on the M6 on midsummer's night isn't and hasn't ever been on my top 10 list of things to do. The fashion assistant was a good girl and ate a perfectly respectable M&S pasta salad. The make up artist and I also did M&S but only the Percy Pigs!

Today I'm snuggling up on the settee and reading yesterdays Guardian and todays Sunday Times - phew! And don't tell anyone that I ate at Burger King.
