The Kool Aid Kid.... Jnr Shoe Shopping...

*blushes*

Might as well get the shoe fetish started early.

At least I'm being practical!!!

They'd be great for winter weather and could take on snow...

Not that I'd ever let her wear them in the snow....

The Kool Aid Kid discusses hosiery

So by this point I'm pretty sure y'all know I love to shop...

And as a single mother there's nothing I love more than a bargain...

And as a lazy cow... there's nothing I love more than internet shopping.

So. I've been a fan of http://www.mytights.com/ for several years now.

They sell amazing tights at pretty good prices- and ever since the 'seconds' shop Bodgers shut down I've found myself at a lose as to where to buy fashion tights at a snip of the price.

My gift to you- a couple of my finds:

Suspender tights; all the sexiness with minimal fuss.

Hold up tights; all the cuteness without all that 'hitching up'.

 Enjoy!

The Kool Aid Kid Discusses The Offside Rule Part One...

...As in, you play offside and we will no longer be a team.

Fact.

I've been fortunate enough, in this game of love, to have relatively good experiences.
I call it a game for good reason. There are rules, expectations, bets made and people disappointed.

So I think it's only fair, in the glow and aftermath of the world cup to discuss what I call 'The Offside Rule'.


I would hope that at this point in this game called love people- or more honestly, women- would be aware of the rules. And that people- and I mean men- would keep to these rules.

In the stone age a man would see a pretty young thing, bash her over the head and drag her to his cave. Submission.

In the ancient times your family would have to buy you a husband, a couple of goats and maybe a sheep or two and your husband might be convinced to keep, feed and water you.
...Even though your father 'bought' you a husband he would own you...

Fast forward and women are burning bra's, demanding to have a life not chained to the kitchen sink and low and behold a whole new set of rules.

No longer does a man need to open a door for you... You can damn well open it for yourself.

No longer do you need a man to keep and support you... You can go out, educate yourself, vote and earn your own high paying salary.

Now, don't get me wrong... I'm a serious feminiest.

I just want to make you aware of a few things.

If you can open that door for yourself, don't expect his to open it for you.

If you can earn your own money, don't expect to wake up one day and find yourself a kept woman.

And, if you can have sex with who you want, when you want, no strings attached... Don't expect the f*#ker to want to tie you down.


This is a very simple concept that seems hard to grasp for many an intelligent woman.

If my man can drink the milk for free, ain't no way he's buying the cow.

(For those who aren't crystal yet: If he can f*#k you any time he wants... Why would he want to have a relationship with you?)

He's been eating that free cake for a while now... If it was good enough to buy... Well... He should have had to buy it, before he got to eat it.
And trying to get him to buy it after he's eaten it is going to do one of two things: Make him vomit, or 'Dine'n'Dash'. I.e. Disappear.

Real talk.




Now, the reason why I have so far done so well in my relationships? Because I do things the old fashioned way.

(I believe that things in this world are black and white. Areas of grey are self created. Drama and stress is self created.)

So this is how I see things:

• If you like me, you either like me enough to be with me. Or you don't. Simples.
• [Aside from one horribly disgusting one-night-stand] I will only have sex with you- after at least a month- after you have declared- publically and openly- that I am your girlfriend.
• I am well aware of my boundaries and don't let anyone push them. I don't tolerate manipulation or any form of violence. I despise lateness. I refuse to be stood up. I'm extremely high maintienance and refuse to apologise for the fact. And I will not and never have been (to my knowledge) been cheated on.

I have even gone so far as to say:
"If you find yourself being attracted to somebody else more than me... That's fine". Remember that men are biologically programmed to sow their seeds and attraction is a chemical and visual process involving all the senses. To expect a man to only be attracted to you is both selfish and completely unrealistic. "But if you want to explore something with that person, you're better off breaking up with me and coming back to me when you're done" If you have a chemical, physical, emotional and mental relationship he'll come back... If not, sorry hun, you're screwed. "But don't expect me to wait for you."

Ultimately, I've never actually had a guy break up with me to try his luck with another girl. Because of my boundaries my boyfriend's decided that trying their luck was a gamble they weren't willing to bet on. I also think that I probably wouldn't get back with a guy who went 'on a break' with me.

But I have gotten back with a guy I chose to go on a break with, after a gamble of my own... I do now hang my head in shame- because that guy really liked me...

Which leads me onto my next point.




Women get sprung on guys all the time... which wouldn't be a problem if you had CLARIFIED your position FIRST you stupid woman.

Have you ever said any of the following? :

• I don't need him to tell me he loves me. I can tell by the way he looks at me.
• I haven't seen him in three weeks... but it's cool, I get that he's busy.
• No he hasn't explained why he hasn't spoken to me all week... But he's busy, he doesn't need to update me every 5 minutes.
• He told me he's not ready/ doesn't have the time to dedicate to a girlfriend. 

If you've ever heard any or all of the above, you're allowing yourself to be played for a mug mate.

Don't be surprised if he doesn't treat you with respect or consideration... Because, you, my friend, are allowing him to.

Don't blame him. Blame yourself.

Harsh I realise, but do you really want me to spit on your cupcake and tell you it's frosting?
No.

Honesty is the best policy.

And honestly? People treat you how you allow them to treat you.

If a guy treats you like shit and you confront them, it's quite possible he might change his MO for a couple of weeks- but if he goes back to his old ways after a couple of weeks? That old dawg can't be taught any new tricks.

If, every time he misbehaves you slap his nose then give him a cuddle (cause you feel bad) your sending that puppy conflicting messages.



Two questions:

1. The Kool Aid Kid: Why is a man different to a puppy? You: Gee... I don't know! The Kool Aid Kid: A puppy grows up.
2. The Kool Aid Kid: Why is a man the same as a puppy? You: They're both so cute!!! The Kool Aid Kid: No, you idiot. They can both be trained.

Now. I'm sure i'm repeating myself but here I go: people treat you how you allow them to treat you.
So, if the next time he doesn't call when he says be will, will you:

a) Call him
b) Text him
c) Start a fight
d) Be too busy to notice and not call him for a week (because your life is that awesome?!)

The answer's d pretty girl.

Point is, the best punishment for animal's/ men (and children: ask SuperNanny) is ignoring bad behaviour and praising good behaviour.

If that means you have to give him head because he bought you diamonds... So be it sister.

XOXO

I'm a huge fan of Tom Binns, a jewellery designer whose designs are favoured by people like Michelle Obama and SJP in 'Sex and the City'.

And as a jewellery collector, only one thing stands in the way of me buying it all... and that's the price.

as seen on Eva Longoria

But thank the powers that be for 'Disney' (who'd ever think they'd hear me say that?!)

Disney Couture have comissioned Tom Binns to create a range of jewellery for Alice In Wonderland- my favourite childhood Disney film and book.

It's a win/ win situation!

They're bang on trend with the current British obssession with Keys, Vintage, Alice In Wonderland, Kooky feel that we have going on.

They'll go great with either the floral/ hippy/ festival or rock chick look.

The Kool Aid Kid's Latest Style Crush

I love me some boots.

At last count... I had 10 new (as in, this year alone) pairs in my wardrobe.

I thought I would share my latest crush with y'all.



Dr Martens.

We all remember them.

I had a purple pair when I was a kid.

I'm currently craving the Triumph 1914 Boot

They're soooooo pretty.

I would wear this pair with skinny jeans or jeggings and an ultra feminine top (I dont do floral) just for a bit of contrast.

Jewellery is key to keeping this look urban/rockabilly.

I would have my trusted charm bracelets on anyway, then on the same arm I'd pull the 'Kool Aid Kid' signature bracelet look: layer lots - and I mean LOTS- of bracelets on one arm and stop them from flying off my arm by putting my BAPE G-Shock toy watch on.

A long multipul rope chain and a HUGE pair of hoops and I'm good to go.

Onto my second crush of the moment....

The classic 1B60 Knee High Black Dr Martens

I think I'm loving the patents... I just worry these'll be a bit much for a day to day thing.

Not that I care.

But I have 3 pairs of patent shoes and really only wear my chunky heel brogues.

Shame that.

http://www.store.drmartens.co.uk/

They really are pretty....

Anyways, before I get distracted.

http://www.mytights.com/

http://www.sockshop.co.uk/

I would wear these slightly open with fishnets, over the knee socks (most likely rouched down to the top of the boot) and one of my ever present , growing in numbers and sleeve length American Apparel t-shirt dresses.

 http://www.americanapparel.net/

Throw one of my mum's retro blazer's on top, then stick a fork in me.

I'm done.

XOXO

The Kool Aid Kid Contemplates: What Girls Are Made Of

I came across this poem on 1kwords’ deviantART profile and wanted to share it with you all.

Sugar and spice and everything nice, that’s what little girls are made of.

Spiders and lice and wee little mice, that’s what little girls are made of.

Alabaster skin and emerald eyes and ruby red lips to hide all her lies, that's what little girls are made of.

A forked silver tongue and a head full of bats, pierced dimpled cheeks and claws like a cat, that's what little girls are made of.

Sugar and spice and everything nice, that’s what little girls are made of.

False promises and lies made through half open eyes, with angelic eyes and feminine wiles, that’s what little girls are made of.

An appetite for money and a c*#t made of honey, that’s what little girls are made of.

Sugar and spice and everything nice, that’s what little girls are made of,

And deceit and pain and betrayal for gain, that’s what little girls are made of...

I can admit that women can be c*#ts. Can you?

The Kool Aid Kid's Ode to Rockabilly Kitsch - Part 2 -

Following on from my previous post, I thought I should let rockabilly jewellery fans in on my latest find.

For my birthday this year my sister bought me some pieces http://www.meandzena.com/

Their tag line reads 'Jewellery for the unruly'

How fitting.

And as per usual I had to google it, just to see what the designer 'was saying'.

It was a lot. The bracelets are beautiful and the sayings tongue in cheek.

I suggest fans of the nautical trend, take a peek.


Over and out

XOXO

The Kool Aid Kid's Latest Style Crush

...And as per usual...

It's jewellery! Surprise, surprise!

If you read fashion magazines like Vogue you may have seen these adverts before.

These beautiful pieces are by Stephen Webster. His website is just beautiful- and really speaks to my inner (if not overtly glamourous) rock chick self.

I love Xtina, she has become an 1940's and 50's style icon and these photo's show her in a beautiful light.

Take a closer look at his amazing designs and collections at http://www.stephenwebster.com/

...And try not to have palpitations at the prices! ;)

Serious Eye Candy

The Kool Aid Kid's Latest Style Crush

I have a serious problem...

I'm addicted to jewellery.

"We've heard that before" I hear you chorus...

But no. You haven't quite seen it like this before.

I spend my money on three things for myself; Food, Books and Jewellery.

I developed an interest in charm bracelets when I was 14- and begged till I was I bought a pre 1900's bracelet from the vintage market in Greenwich.

I now seem to have a charm bracelet (or charm) from every country I have visited, every birthday, Christmas and anniversary- from several boyfriend's, my Mama, family and friends.

So with my very first pay check ever, I bought myself a Thomas Sabo charm bracelet and butterfly charm.

Their latest collection though, has me drooling. It combines some of my greatest loves...

Motorbikes, men that are rebels... and silver jewellery *sigh*




Anyone want to buy me one?!?!

XOXO

The Kool Aid Kid LOVES studded Louboutin shoes!

Hey all...

Just so you can shoegasm with me!

These uber feminine heels with a touch of rough really works for me...

Honestly? Who doesn't love a Louboutin heel?!?!

I'm really appreciating how these are being worn with extremely feminine, girly dresses

Or being rocked with seriously edgy leather skinnies and wet look leggings.

Loving Christina's ( a favourite style icon of mine- after the dirrty album) and Keri Hilson's look right now!

Enjoy beautiful people!!!
