The Classic Denim Mini »

Recently I’ve been in a major fashion slump, meaning that I’ve been recycling two outfits over and over again for the past few weeks. In fact, my fashion slump has been so serious that I’ve resorted to wearing my sister’s denim mini skirt.
Yes that’s right -a classic denim skirt. It’s not even one of those trendy A-line minis, which are oh-so-trendy this season. And I’m so lazy that I just wear it with my current love, an American Apparel V-neck shirt. While the white tee and denim mini combination feels very juvenile to me (-it’s very high school isn’t it?), it’s also strangely very comforting. With fashion trends coming and going faster than ever, it’s just getting tiring and frankly, not very exciting to keep up with it all. I mean, I adore Zara and H&M for its fast fashion and prices but since I am stuck in a fashion slump, nothing seems more charming than a plain, casual outfit that is the tee and denim mini.

Right now I’m trying to find a denim mini to buy. A problem with the denim mini is that I’m finding it really difficult to find a denim mini which is of a decent length. It’s not like I’m asking much -I just want one that ends around or slightly below mid-thighs. But in the shops tha’t I’ve been to (-ok, basically only Top Shop,) all I’ve seen are mini minis. How do people even move around in those? BG tells me that America Eagle Outfitters makes pretty good denim minis (see image.) But since I don’t live in the States, I’m hoping the next time I go to H&M or some other casual shop, they’ll be selling some decent denim minis!

Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide. By Melanie Moss. »

Since when did swimwear get so flimsy? Remember the days when a bikini was for flaunting and a one piece was for eating lunch. It seems the impossible has happened and all of a sudden the bikini is for good and bad days and the one piece well that’s fallen into the realms of a lucky few. I’m not talking about your safe black halterneck low cut togs from Target, I’m talking about the Cutout

Ebony and Ivory. By Alicia Pyke. »

Hello toes! Yes, it’s officially sandal season and with it comes a whole new range of vivid nail polishes to test-drive. Bright sports-car red one day, a delicious pinky coral that reeks of decadent holidays in the sun the next. Ah, how I love seeing those gleaming discs of pristine colour whenever I glance down. No, this is not a column about overhauling your feet for spring since I believe
