Poverty


Stingeing your way through university and complaining that the £1 drinks offers aren't available on the evening desired - it's a reality not poverty.


I had a rather rich step-father through adolescence, that was until the mother divorced the funding source and I unfortunately divorced the luxuries. Plus living alone doesn't support itself. All I have to show for those 10 wonderful years is a battered Miu Miu purse. No matching clutch or shopper, no Chanel pumps, no quilted Marc Jacobs, no drivers, no Mailbox lunches (irrelevant of funding, these were digested and excreted in years previous anyway) - they all vanished a long time ago to the world and wonders of eBay and/or a splintered bank. In all fairness what eighteen year old needs such extorniate luxeries, even Urban Outfitters and French Connection can rocket high when it comes to 'affordable'. Why not make use of our current possessions? Bring back that inner confidence we once fronted in our 90's Grunge era. Forget the expenses, M&S sushi selection elaborates in their quality as much as those bars in Knightsbridge, only for a tenth of the price.

Festival Wellies


With the beyond adorable adaptations of the classic Hunter welly introduced into their collection this spring/summer, there won't be any confusion or style rivalry at Glastonbury this year. What is even more tempting than a weekend full of delightful sounds and intoxicated conversations, is the fact Cocosa currently have these four particular Hunter numbers for sale on their website. Hurry though, the renowned secret-sale site puts an end to such desires tomorrow morning at 8am. Roll on the British weather!






Alarming Facts


Within 8 minutes of Gok Won and Ruby Wax making a preference over a Topshop sequined cropped blazer on the one-and-only's Fashion Fix, it sold out in EVERY size available online. I gave it 8 minutes before I made the dash for the MacBook.

Love Is Not Pop


Not only does this angel write and perform the most beautiful vocals, she looks like a fucking treat too. Fronting her album cover she sports an excessively manish leather jacket paired with the simplicity of striped jersey wear, and of course, the exposure of such stunning visuals.

Keep Candles Handy


In this iD editorial, shot by Vanina Sorrenti and styled so diaphanously by Marina Burini - Alana Zimmer creates a sensational impact in each of the images.
