kiss.

MUSICAL POSTAGE!

Cor blimey geezer mate I'm proper feeling the blogging vibe today innit! So I thought I'd do me a wee lil post on some of the songs tickling my ears at ze moment.

1. Lykke Li - Dance. Dance. Dance
   
2. Foals - Big, Big Love Fig. 2


3. The xx - Islands
   
4. Stevie Wonder - Living for the City
   
5. Koffi Olomide - Loi


6. Mobb Deep - Got It Twisted

So yes this is what is delighting my ears at present. But while I'm on this blog roll here's SIX other things that delight me, in a manner of different ways ...

1. GOSH Velvet Touch Foundation Primer - easily the best primer out there at a respectable £13 from Superdrug
   
2. Barry M Lipstick - I have worn this shade for literally years and gave it a rest when it become a little bit too rinsed but people have started to forget about it now, so it's safe for me to start wearing it again. Cool tsatsiki. Around 4 quids from Topshop, Boots or Superdrug.
   
3. Boots Expert Sensitive Gentle Aloe Vera Foam Wash - I didn't really want to tell you about this as it is such a beauty saviour that I had to struggle to share it with you (sorry my beauts I blame this on not having eggs for breakfast this morning). But mumma always taught me to share so felt quite compelled to listen. She is always right after all. £2.99 from Boots (well duh me for stating the obvious). That's all I'm saying on this one I'll let the product do the rest.
   
4. Rubbish - la magazine that is. So in love with their silliness that it makes me giddy. I am solidly an ambassador for all things in the land of the silly. In fact it is probably one of the only prerequisites that future husband must have.


5. Carven - the French luxury label which sowed its fashion seeds to sprout in 1945 are back and throwing one heavy high end punch. With Guillaume Henry now at its realm the label describes itself as 'fresh, lively and elegent'. Like take this jacket. AW10 personified. And I want it on my ever expanding back (I really need to start running again the rapid weight gain is not being shy at all at making friends with me). Camel tones. Check. Clean elegant lines. Check. Styled with skinny belt cinching in waist. Check. Total love forever. Check.


6. Moustaches - did you think it was Tom Selleck for a moment then? Did you? You did didn't you. Well as much as I love the Selleck, moustaches pip him to the post. I love moustaches in all their varying degrees of complexity. From the very faint and simple to the groomed and super styled handle bars. I love them all. I love them, as equally as I love me fried eggs. From time to time I shall be regaling in some moustache posting and I just hope that your kind selves will not think any less of me for this somewhat obsessive and addictive love of the hair upon the upper lip. I've even been moustache hunting before. That is prowling around festivals, art galleries, bars and clubs looking for a moustache to call my own. It's so well known that my closest friends (well I only really have two friends so it's not that hard) can even spot a good moustache for me now. So appropriate time to thank Ladies B & K for all their continued support in my mission for Mr Moustache.

NOTE: Crazy boss lady came back so I can't reorder the images to match the bullet points hopefully you can figure out which image relates to which bullet point. If you can't. God help us all.

kiss.

KARMALOOP POST II

So coast cleared some time this afternoon and I couldn't help but return to my new www. of the day karmaloop. Look see what I found. statement tees. laptop transfers. Jeffrey Campbell shoesies. teddy bear t-shirt dress. Major website crushing!

kiss.

BLOG SURFING ON THE JOB?

I'm bored. I'm doing reception today at a very big international company and me and the other lovely temp are bored as the morning rush has finished. She is on the www. shopping. I am on the www. blog surfing.

Low and behold my surfing has produced some fine fruit. Through the vines of the fashion bomb blog I have found a shopping website I have not heard of! Is this possible? Yes it seems. So the website is an United States of the Americas site called http://www.karmaloop.com/. The name in itself gives you an soundbite of what to expect. As with many US of A sites I'm usually distraught after trawling through the site and filling up my on-line trolley that they do not in fact ship to the shores of the United Kingdom so I was presently suprised to find this site does. Lots of hip-hop trinkets to keep me pleased.

And my fetish and thirst for accessories was suitably quenched in this porn fest of shiny, shiny things. I'm like a pirate and a magpie sort of a pirpie so to speak or a magate but either way my lovey of shiny, shiny trinkets will never go away. NEVER!

I lust for all of the above. I mean look at the neon plastic and metal - aeroplane two finger ring! Argh! I've got a new website crush. Hello sexy baby!

Shit! Crazy, boss lady is coming gotta go!

Until next time my fine friends.

kiss.

DREAM HORSE?

During usual mindless Facebook trawling I stumbled across an ad to create my own dream horse. Like what the egg?! That is near enough exactly the sort of surreal proposition my little pea of a brain loves.

Then I started thinking more deeply about the subject and how would I like my dream horse to be like? how would he move? what would he do for a living (would he be a police horse or one-a dem crazy wild horses or a show pony mayve?) and what colour would he be.

Ahh so now I'm uber confused by all these questions and my brain went into dream horse overdrive. Naaaay! I do wish I could make a convincing horse sound though ... such a skill. So I decided this was too much for me to take and I decided my dream horse would somehow combine all of these horses, which for the record are my favourite horses. In no particular order we have ...

1. My Little Pony
2. Black Beauty
3. A Pantomime Horse
4. A Show Horse
5. The Legend of Crazy Horse (this gem of a find was purely accidental when I typed in crazy horse as I liked the idea of my dream horse being crazy. Low and behold this indigenous Native American tribe and one of their legends 'Crazy Horse' turned up top of Google image results. Me liked it so much I thought what the eggy horse might as well throw this into my horse blender)
6. The colour changing horse from Wizard of Oz

And that my people is my dream horse or at least if I was baking him these would be the ingredients I'd throw into the bowl. I was gonna throw Trojan in there but I discovered I don't really like him too tough. I mean he's all wooden and big and well woody and if a unicorn can't make it cos it's not really a horse then there was no ways Trojan and his barky self was getting on here.

What would your favourite horse be like?

kiss.

MEET EGGBERT the CONVERSE CHUCK TAYLOR ALLSTAR

So we all know Nike lets you play the role of designer with their much acclaimed Nike ID range well with Converse you can do this too ... yay! Although they can't actually deliver your creations to you ... nay! Unless of course you live in the United States of the Americas.

But half the fun is designing anyways so if you got some time to kill why not kill it in the designer hotseat at Converse.

I did and came up with these eggcellent themed beauts, the black representing mumma's frying pan - don't ever say I don't know how to realise a fashion story! Pah.

Give it a spin at http://www.converse.com/ and while you're there like how amaze-balls are the Dr.Seuss Chucks. We at eggy HQ want a pair to put in a glass case and pop on our tv like the fine collectible ornament we think it is.

kiss.

PHYSICS? OR IS IT PSYCHICS?

And I think I'm one of them. Well pyschic that is.

Well least when it comes to some fashion stuff and people stuffs. So as it turns out minimalism is making a long awaited return to fashion! For some time the catwalks and then our streets and ultimately us were adorned with excess. There was too much and we didn't know which way to turn so we took it all. Skyscraper heels, slashed leggings, leather studded everything, huge 'it' bags, tiny mini skirts and the rest. Fashion however has decided that the new look is paired down, simple, clean cut and just as delightful and wanted as the excessive looks of previous seasons. Spearheaded by Celine (img2) www.celine.com/en/index.asp#/winter-2010) who really has been so ahead of this one, resting at the finishing line must feel so good, and is well deserved for our Phoebe. Its sister in fashion Chloe has been showing us the sexy, bouncy haired version of this for a while too.

So where does the psychic fit in? Well when asked by my sister what I thought we would be wearing this autumn, last autumn I replied - sheep coats (I think I meant aviator jackets), long (not maxi more calf'-length) skirts and camel coats. ALL of which have been seen in some shape or fine form on the catwalks earlier this year in the AW10/11 shows. From seeing the Burberry aviator jackets (img1) first make their way down the LFW show I knew we had the coat of the winter firmly realised. I then received the email from Burberry with the option to pre-order the beaut and how I wish I could have done so, as seeing it in every publication and Selfridges window display makes my eyes water with love. The skirts at Prada and Louis V showed that the mini is making a bee line for the back seat (for now) and elegance is favoured with sumptuous materials that grace further than the knee. And the two piece suit. Sweet. Clean. Sharp. Seen at Gucci and Bottega Veneta in the shape of terrific trouser suits.

However, if like me you are nervous to put down the baby that is the excess and 'bling' (I have such a hate love relationship with that word) of previous seasons do not be afraid. INSTEAD. Turn to Lanvin (img3) for their take on minimalism with some sparkle with lacebodies, feathers, cave-menesque belts and adornments to take you dutifully through those winter months. It was my show of the 'feels so long ago' AW Paris 10/11 shows. I watched it on FTV (which seems to have disappeared off our Sky tv radar?. Super huge sad face) The collection had a story which could be easily read by even ME. The tribal spy, the femme fatale and the Flintstones sexed up - I had some sure fire girl pee in my pants. And I think this is the look I'm going to be projecting this winter. Accessorize (img4-7) already offering some key well, urm, accessories for this look ranging form 10-20 GBP and available online www.monsoon.co.uk/Accessorize/icat/accessorize and in store now. I'll be posting my take on this look closer to the season and will even invest in the bob and fringe hairstyle. Jizz alert from all this talk of Lanvin.

I know it's early but it's rather an appropriate time to start looking at AW10 and saving some pennies for some looks before the high street becomes flooded with their take on the shows. Really, the unwritten rule book does say that even now would be considered late as we must ALWAYS try and be one season ahead. Blah, meh and blah. So here's my fashion nugget... to try and sneak in the looks before the season but while waiting for enough time to gather a real sense of what will be out there aim to hit it late summer, so if you can get your hands on an aviator jacket now and then find a nice crisp summers evening to parade it, then do so. Then when the masses follow suit, you'll have been wearing it for months darling! And they'll all have egg on their beautiful faces.

kiss.

ROMAN ROAD, SHOREDITCH & MINISTRY

So with best friend and Godson in tow I paid a rather 'well' overdue visit to Roman Road and came away with bags of spoils that totalled wait for it .. 6 GBP. Like what the egg! That's cheaper than well most things really. I will be styling and posting my spoils in due course but I shall leave that for a time when my camera decides working might be an idea it would like to partake in. I'll leave you with a fashion secret ... if and when you do head to Roman Road Market (really! do it, it's what your mumma would want) ignore the French Connection stall and numerous Topshop, Urban Outfitters etc stalls and head for the old people stalls selling 1 GBP blouses and shorts and other outrageous yet delightfully wearable finds. While I'm on this secret giving roll also check out the jewellery stools which offer 'more-than-likely-make-your-skin-green' rings and bangles and what not but I found loads of pretty little 'more-than-likely-make-your-skin-green' accessories but by default the word pretty makes 'mtlmysg' (couldn't be arsed to write it all out again - copy and paste is null and void here) not count.

We also went to the sample sale in previous blog and although the music was good (hip hop if you likes to knows) there was a lack of great finds. I will however say most people on Brick Lane that afternoon did in one way or another talk, head or mutter about the sale namely mentioning BBC so 'spose publicity wise they are due some points. Also further points to the pwetty pink lollipop hoodie which if I wasn't unemployed I would have definitely separated with 75 GBP for.

If your ever on the search for some healthy, filling and very scrummy yummy Jam food check out Mama's Jerk Station if only to catch the banter between Mama and her chef man. Quality. You already knows this but the Beigal shop at the end of Brickers is also worth its due and we did indeed head in for a Beigal or two or perhaps it was a dozen?! The body did indeed succeed in its fat mission.

So that's it folks ... apart from a quick mention of our Saturday night which involved Jaguar Shoes (I've had a few mishaps in this gaff and thought by now it would have been safe to return - nopes! didn't get past the security without a 'oh it's you blah meh blah speech) - was good as always though - many a fine man candy. Catch next door was a possibility but we were a tad overdressed for this 'alternative' cough crowd so we headed to Spread Eagle - am I the only one who loves that expression? yes? oh! where the barman gave us free black Sambuca shots which we did with them - much to their delight, had a tiny boogie and skipped over to Ministry of Sound - all in all a rather yummy fried egg night.

kiss.
