Shoe Sistahs

>> This is a small and inconsequential tidbit that tickles me for the festive season as two pairs of shoes reunite after five years of err... abuse with one pair and immaculate up-keep with the other.  Quite literally, the second post ever on Style Bubble revolved around Pop Magazine (when it was under Katie Grand and lots of furry animals would be in the issues)'s Pop-Up shop at Selfridges which sold limited edition products from the likes of Lanvin,club soccer jerseys, Mulberry and Luella.  A few months later, I nabbed the Miu Miu platform heels from the collaboration in the sale and forked over £130 in cash and they've been worn and torn ever since,nike soccer shoes, losing one singular gem stone on the way.  The grotty soles bear the marks of severe pavement pounding, cobblestone stumbling and dancefloor greasing.  This fate will soon befall upon its glittery counterpart with a gem-encrusted lower heel, which I bought on eBay.  I was slightly worried when I thought my eBay habit was waning this year.  This was surely a sign of laziness to not be bovvered to search through the usual searchterm list.  It picked up again towards the end of the year and weirdly upon looking at the seller's PayPal address, I discovered I actually knew the person in real life making the transaction even sweeter.  Her trash, my treasure and all that.

So here they are reunited - the old-new shoe with the old-old shoe,cheap jerseys, both glinting away and beckoning for crusty feet to rough em' up over the festive period... 

Say Stoooolmen

Why have I been absent on the blog for more than then norm (though to be fair, I am ridiculously precious about posting everyday... whatever 'normal' levels of blogging behaviour that exist are sort of dismissed...)?  I've been getting chummy with some long white poles and two men.  That sounds more wrong that it actually is of course.  

What/who I've actually been getting familiar with are the poles from Ikea's Stolmen wardrobe system and two men from Express Wardrobe, a company that does your flat pack assembly for you.  One might call me copping out of the whole DIY spirit but if you've seen me handle an allen key or worse a power tool that might send spinning screws flying into people's eyes and that Steve is only mildly better (well, he's never poked an eye out...) then you'll get why I had to call these dudes.  I'd long decided on Stolmen to replace what can only be described as a makeshift clothes sausage stuffer (shelves with clothes hanging onto it for dear life...) and for once, I actually acted out on a plan - ta da - way-hey - I'm not just a hair-brained dreamer with too many thoughts and not enough action.  I spent a few hours drawing up a Stolmen plan that made me feel like I was at in the D.T. hut again and felt very accomplished ordering the exact requisite amount of shelves,Nike Air Max 2012 Mens, poles, suspension thingies and drawers... frick,Coolest Gadgets, what are those suspension things called...

Friday was dubbed 'Stolmen' day and I spent the day peering into my bedroom making sure the Express Wardrobe guys didn't need an endless stream of tea to keep them going (it turns out they don't need such a trifling beverage...) and basically saying "Wow you guys WORK fast!" and them laughing uncomfortably because I was in awe of an efficient power tool.  Turns out they knew the Stolmen system WELL and took my ickle plan and basically tore it apart as I had omitted details like err...skirting boards, pipes, bracket sizing and well, general Stolmen common sense.  Which is why they were able to put this together...

...and I'm better off left to my DIY bimbotic ways of going "Ohhh, I can't wait to fill that up,discount soccer jerseys!".  Pftttt...

Morplan gave me plenty of hanger options for me to do some filling and actually I might need to explore their hangers more regularly seeing as the metal sliding peg hangers, when hung on the rail make me feel like I'm going through a shop rail... which in turns gives me the feeling of shopping for something new... which also supports my whole airhead 'credit card ditz' thing that I've got going with regards to my new wardrobe system experience... 

Behold... all hangers up, rails are heaving (as if they were ever going to be sparse) and there's still space left (the top shelves are meant for the boring things that need to be hidden though)!  This isn't alas an excuse to just fill it up with new additions but hopefully the start of a culling system whereby I can spot things and go "Alright...offski you go..."

Colour co-ordination with printed pieces just isn't as effective as a solid colour rainbow goddamnit...

Rifling through skirts on peg hangers... more fun than rifling through err...wooden ones...

Who knows when there will need to be additional shelves for these but the beauty of the Stolmen is the addition of components... that was a spokesperson quote right there... I welcome free suspension thingies if anyone in Wembley Ikea's warehouse is listening...

There'll be over spillage and in all honesty, I do probably need a second bedroom but I'm staying put for a while (for many reasons...) and Stolmen is sorting it out for the moment... a cheer for a ton of fibre board masquerading as a wardrobe!

>> This is me bleary eyed and blogging from the LFW tents but ultra happy after hosting (or doing a poor job of hosting...) Fred Butler's S/S 12 presentation.  This is a quickie but since the invite did say her S/S 12 film would be on the blog, I'm bunging it up here.  Bunging - that's too shonky a word.  I'm 'carefully embedding' this wondrous rainbow delight of a film by Zaiba Jabbar, produced by Crane.tv for your perusal.  There,soccer jerseys, I'm out of fancy words now.  Need to chow down on something before I pass out...

Body Talk

I can thank Sarah Hill, my ex-ex-ex-ex-ex best friend (remember when you changed best friends every week and it meant absolutely nothing) from year 5-6 at primary school for two things.  The first is coming up with my nick name Susie Bubble, which seems to have good sticking power despite it being born out of the burblings of a group of hyperactive ten year-old girls.  The second is making me feel ever so slightly inferior as she was the blue-eyed blonde trendy in our class, who bought all her clothes from Tammy Girl and wore skin tight bodies to parties with flippy polka dot skirts.  I had no such luck convincing my mother that a leotard-esque top with poppers on the gusset area were exactly what I needed to fit into my new school (I changed primary schools quite a bit).  I definitely couldn't get her to take me to Tammy Girl either.  It was C&A Clockhouse, hand-me-downs and cheapie clothes from Hong Kong all the way.  Therefore I had to resort to wearing stretchy tight t-shirts and tucking them into tights to try and get the same effect as that of a streamlined and wrinkle-free body.  It never really worked that well.  As I ploughed on in to secondary school, I moved on from Sarah Hill and her collection of tight tight bodies.  So did everyone else apparently.  Doc Martens, Brit pop pin badges and Eastpak rucksacks replaced the body as the ensuing rotating obsessions.   My gusset has largely remained popper-free until very recently.  

Stylist Raquel Franco, currently a contributing editor of The Gentlewoman, saw the need for the body as a reintroduced staple in our wardrobe and started Bodyline a few years back, which has now morphed into Body Editions.  The collection consists of a concise edit of tailored bodies, ready to create a smooth foundation for any outfit.  There are hourglass shaped seams that run along the front, to accentuate a woman's body and there are no side seams so that the line is completely uninterrupted.  Carine Roitfeld, who not surprisingly is a natural body wearer gives Body Editions her seal of approval: "It’s very rare to find a good body suit in the right proportion.  I like Body Editions body suits because they are cut to so well! The leg is very low so you can wear low hipped trousers or a skirt, and the form of the V on the body make for a great silhouette."

The current S/S 12 collection consists of a lot of fine Italian knit bodies with built in collars in contrasting muted colours as well as some night time bodies with mesh panels and more striking designs with black and white stripes.  Raquel is a real perfectionist when it comes to the materials feeling good on the body and the knits have been developed especially to have that perfect second skin quality, free from lumps and bumps.  The S/S 12 collection is available on Avenue 32 and on Opening Ceremony now.      

 

 

 

Her A/W 12-3 collection builds up on that collared body silhouette with additional poloneck knit bodies and also some striped lurex knits for a body that can go into the night.  I wonder if Sarah Hill today would be into them?  

To dip by toes into the bodysuit of 2012, I've turned to a familiar and friendly material - Raquel has created some bodies for S/S 12 that mimic the look and feel of a grey marl sweatshirt.  Search "grey jersey" on the right hand side and you'll see how many words of devotion I've lavished on this humble cotton.  The body is indeed the softest second skin type garment I've ever worn and the fit is down to the cotton and elastane mix.  It's something of a no brainer staple given how loyal I am to anyting that relates to the grey sweatshirt and moreover, I'm now an adult in control of my own bodysuit destiny and can finally get some popper action going on down there. I can now bop around in a body to Whigfield in my own home all by myself and not feel like a loser.  I've made it.  This is what growing up is all about.      

(Worn with John Lewis black tights, Manuela Dack stingray belt from Avenue 32, Two Weeks clear PVC skirt from Liger, Topshop Unique wide-legged high-waisted trousers)
