The Kool Aid Kid discovers greatness...

When wandering down Drury Lane (yes people, home to the muffin man) today, I discovered the most amazing shop and promptly spent £70 on jewellery.

I have an illness... I'm aware of it...

Happie Loves It !!!!

Clothes seem hand made, the designs are fresh, urban and kooky.

Happie combines the perfect mix of tea dresses, structured skirts and shirts and kooky, bling'd and snuggly accessories.


So get your butts on http://www.happielovesit.com/

I immediately fell in love with several items and have convinced the boy toy to take me there another day.

*sigh* 

Love at first sight.

If only all relationships were that easy...

XOXO

The Kool Aid Kid... And her glitter fixation

I swear to you all... Heaven will be full of sparkles...

Shoegasm fix.

Thank you Mr Louboutin!

The Kool Aid Kid... Attempts to find the perfect wedding shoe.

Just not for my wedding...

I LOVE LOUBOUTIN!!!

Although you may have realised that already.

I've been obsessed with the above since 'If you see Amy'- Damn you Brittany!!!

How perfect are these for a wedding though?!?!?!?!

...If only I had Louboutin money....


XOXO

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!

XOXO

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.

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.

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

I'm done.

XOXO

Shera the Great talks: Americana

Americana-It sounds like a coffee, (from starbucks), but its actually a fashion MOVEMENT. Yes. stateside goes global with triple denim layering, varsity jackets, wonderwoman hightops and old school slouchy t-shirts.

It may sound gruesome initially, (i got flashbacks of new kids on the block and clarissa explains it all), but the key is to avoid overdoing it. No-one's saying you have to look like a douche to pull off this trend (it was hard enough adjusting to harem pants). The trick is to either do it in parts, rather than a top-to-toe denim extravaganza.

Think red, white and blue...its pretty simple. red lipstick (she-ra loves MAC lip-satin in rebel), blue jeans (7 for mankind, true religion, or Levis), white wedges and a simple white T. No need to unleash the dungarees, the cowboy boots, or anything that could potentially turn into a disaster.

Think: stripes (we've been doing stripes for years...why stop now), stars (dust off your 2008 star prints), and polka-dots. clean cut, simple, ambercrombie/hollister, Gap Ad circa 1995.

Do NOT think: sailor, cowgirl, 'topgun' or cabin crew.

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!!!
