SK8

retro: yes

apparently it lived on. 
chuppa chups. so baby spice. Chloe is also wearing a M I N K Y bow called "charlotte". get it? get it??........... oh, you cant even see the spider.

Don't be afraid to mix retro. 

AH-MAHH-ZING mix of retro 80's acid wash, mixed with granny print jumper, mixed with boho bag.

Granny's jumper and 80's rock rolling stones singlet. 

This is Timmy
The story of denim and denim ended in the 90's then birthed into retro. 
love the classic cowboy boots. 

Dear people. I never want to see you wear this again. 

Rainbow tie dye. the answer is no

ROCK MY SOCKS!

socks. they are more than just big wooly things you use to slide across the wooden floorboards. I encourage you to break out your childhood socks for this upcoming winter. 
You can wear socks with heels. BUT play it safe. stick to school girl heels. DON'T ruin a beautiful pair of Christian Louboutin with cheepy socks. Unless you want to look tacky as wino. 
Do you still have your school shoes? Its time to take them out of the garage and match them up with pull up socks. Just like Lauren did here. with school girl colours and always wearing a smile! so super cute. 
BRAVERY! 
miss match socks. and a bold pattern dress. for those who turn heads. 





PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: 
You may wear stockings, you may wear thigh highs... oh yes, i very much understand the lolita style. Dig it, love it, live it. 
but under any circumstances, DO NOT WEAR KNEE HIGH STOCKING WITH RUBBER SHOES. I've seen this too many times. worn with a short skirt and some kind of t-shirt with a "japanimation" character, this style allows girls to look like night-workers who are about to run away. 
oh-my-gross-ness. just don't.
