Presents for YOU!

I adore buying gifts for loved ones at this time of year, however at times my selfish side kicks in and I just want to buy presents for myself!

Most of my Christmas shopping is now done .. www.monsieursteve.com deserves a cheeky visit to reward FashionHotMess some trashy urban funk t shirts at a ridiculously affordable price!

Dress them up, dress them down .. leave your dignity at home

Student Protests

I love this image from the student protests in London last week. The school girls protecting the police van giving a pacifist feel to the protests. They've given a mature chic look to a school uniform by such a simple peaceful action.

Make love not war!

I like to look at the pictures ..

To celebrate 30 years if i-D Magazine this book celebrating the covers of the acclaimed magazine has been released by founder and creative director behind the magic, the incredibly hot fashion messy Terry Jones.

If the pictures aren't enough for you (as if!), there are also the tales behind the images.
