The Street is my Runway

Amazing style captured by the fantastic Mr Newton.

11.1.11

Felt like I kind of had to blog to today, not because I didn't want to (I did), but because I just felt there's some kind of strange, superstitious significance of the date and didn't want to miss blogging on it. I wanted to post an outfit or something personal today, but I've annoyingly left my camera charger in Devon, so no photography till my Dad remembers to send it.

I'm feeling pretty 'blah' today. Went to sleep feeling fine and dandy, but have woken up all groggy/headachey/rubbish. I've got to get through another tedious 750 words of an essay too, but thought I'd spend a little luxury time catching up on blogs first. Today, my inspiration stems from a post by Discotheque Confusion, who has drawn my attention to a cool feature over at Platform: 'I Saw You Standing'. Basically a fresher approach to street style, people are filmed standing on the street in all their uniquely, stylish glory. I don't think you'd appreciate this as much if you're having a bad skin day, because the up close shots aren't the most flattering, but the no frills, natural approach makes it all the more intriguing. There's no standard style equation that Platform seem to follow either, apart from everyone's style is individual and appreciated for being so (see Rita).

So while I'm tucked up in bed, I'm going through these files and wishing I had the energy to dress nicely today (I'm wearing a white, fluffy dressing gown which has seen it's better days).  I totally wish I knew Steven. He really reminds of me John Galliano in a moustachey, perfect British accent kind of way.

COW Manchester student lock-in part 1

It was a little while ago that COW stores across the country held student lock-ins, to give us students a dose of discount alongside a few beers and some good tunes. If you were out and about in the Manchester store then chances are you were snapped by me. I'm going to put the posts up in stages as there were so many of you stylish people around, I managed to get a lot of photos! Hope you enjoy them!
