Grab a piar of ethical shooooes!!

So i believe my destiny in life is to make a difference.  I know that it is one of the most incredibly cheesy lines you have probably heard repeatedly over from friends and in magazines and celebrities who talk through advisors, but it is true.  I constantly see myself making a difference with the geography degree i intend to start and hopefully complete at uni next year.

One area i am desperate to make a difference in is fashion.  I want men and women all around the world in fashion to realise that the industry is destroying the world.  When i say the world i mean literally as in the environment and my Carbon Footprint as well as Humanitarian rights across the world, of the people sitting slaving away in thousands of factories in the developing world.  

I just discovered this event on the Toms website.  And if you have not heard of Toms, for every pair of awesome comfortable amazing shoes you buy, they send one pair to a child desperately in need.  Incredible.  

So they have a special charity day and event they have started called 'One Day Without Shoes' on April 10th.  The point of which is that you spend all day wearing no shoes to make a statement, raise awareness and also make you realise how hard life is without a pair of shoes.  

Check it out here

If you find the event toolkit page they provide downloads for stickers, stencils, t-shirts, posters, banners, street art, and hundreds of ideas!!

Here are some of the amazing products they sell , i basically just want them all!!

Just so you know i am a total maths geek and so these shoes are absolutely beyond and magnificently perfect for moi!!

Anyway go look and hunt because i can guarantee that once you have bought some you will not stop.

Such a Stud!!

I just had to share with you my passion for studded clothing at the moment.  I think it is turning into a strange obsession.  I just simply cannot get enough of any clothing with some kind of stud forced into it.  Don't even start me on a studded leather jacket, oh my that is just the pinnacle, but i just can't seem to find one and my leather jacket is just too expensive to do a bit of DIY.  I think my sister, who bought it for my birthday one year, would actually go mental.  

I am not sure, but this man appears seem to me to look a lot like Heath Ledger (poor soul) except i don't ever remember him having so many tattoos, probably a man that just looks very similar.  Awesome picture anyway and where do i get a studded denim waistcoat like that?  Someone put me out of my misery!?

I am just guessing but i think these are Jeffrey Campbell shooooes, which i absolutely love and will soon spend a small fortune on i am sure.  

These are the most amazing Underground shoes produced so far but i haven't yet managed to find a place where they sell them which is driving me mad ince they are so unbelievably incredible i almost cried the first time i saw them!!

Now i have been inspired previously to use a spiked necklace/bracelet you get on a leather strap to DIY decorate a pair of amazing heels i have and these shoes with their spiked socks have just made me think YES i must do this.  But i think i need to get my butt down to Camden Market to find the perfect spike jewellery to use, as it would be tragic to do it all and then get it all wrong.  

Now Lady Gaga is the Queen of studded clothing and i have found a million images of her wearing some incredible studded jackets, as in her Telephone Music Video.  However this studded bra just shouted Studs and simplicity at me which i find so hard to imagine going together, and taught me that it is possible.  

Hope you liked.  Please leave your comments and Follow if you love.

Just a little about what my blog shall hopfully grow up to be...

The point of my blog is really to make all those fashionista's out there and the millions of women who are not a size 8 to realise that you can be fashionable. Think of it this way, designers only design their catwalk pieces so small because then they save money on fabric. That is the only reason. I want my blog to represent the curvy woman and all that silly stereotype stuff about a natural woman being curvy.

My favourite word to describe a curvy woman, from the BBC show Miranda, is 'Voluptuous'. There is no better word, combined with 'undulations'. So next time you say to your subconscious "oh dear god i am fat", think oh no i am not i am simply "A voluptuous woman!"

Here i have just posted a few pictures from my collection, to show you how i am a bit of a wacky dresser although i am a size 14. i don't give a damn. You know i have had two people recently say to me that they wish i had my dress sense, not that that is what i dress for, so people envy me. But the fact that they said that to me in front of a group of much skinnier and taller girls the same age made me feel so great. I want you to remember that!!!

Please ignore the bowling shoes!! Not flattering when you have size 7 feet. Actually looked like a giant clown!!

My favourite shirt of all time. From a charity shop. you shall be seing a lot of that in time.

These are my awesome denim Levi shorts which i bought from Beyond Retro. They have amazing leather pockets at the back which were done by Beyond Retro. They update vintage. SO cool!!

And just to warn you i do not care about tights with holes and ladders, but people seem to go nuts about it around me.
