Reebook GL 6000 SS11 Collection

I have been a fan of some of the most recent products, I own a pair of Paris Runners and my own pair of  GL 6000. These two are part of the Spring/Summer collection and this time, its a thumbs down from me.

Someone said, this is the best part of either colourway.

Thursday Thoughts - Dr Who Capes and 'Chinchilla Fur' Coats

Chinchillas. Not this kind but more like.....

These. Not one of Fif's finest moments.

Almost all high street stores are now selling faux fur jackets, in the store I work in, they also sell these 'fur jackets'. Because of this I have seen how people can try on the ghastly things, and start swanning around or strutting their stuff as if they are modelling the Emperor's New Clothes. In reality, they are just wearing German Shepherd but seem to think they are decked in the finest of Chinchillas.

Now I am not a member of PETA, nor am I an animal lover, my typical West-African diet does not allow me to be one, its a Thursday so I am just sharing my thoughts. Wearing a faux fur coat is cool, but a one that drapes to floor like the one that got Frank Lucas (American Gangster) in trouble or one with bristling with whiskers is a no-no.

Capes

These I am actually cool with, I can respect a woman in a nice cape. Its just that I am concerned to as how far can the Dr Who obsession go? I have even seen tweed blazers coming into play a lot more recently, and even riding boots (No Yeo Valley). I am just saying lets not overdo it ladies, and in this increasingly unisex world we live in, we now have men's jeggings, and open-toed sandals, mandals. I just don't want to see no men or women head to toe in the Good Doctor's gear, hanging around telephone boxes and trying to communicate with Daleks.

Note to manufacturers, not everyone should try their hand at certain clothes, if you pop into ASDA for grapes and walk out with a fur coat, that is not correct.

Shouts to Beezy on this one. What do you think, have any thoughts on capes or 'faux fur'?

Things Currently Bothering Me

There are a few things which are getting under my skin, one of which is the "Go Compare" advert. Every time it comes on I have to change the channel , the sight of the main character (the man who is dressed an opera singer/butler) is enough to piss me off and if I'm not fortunate to change the channel in time and I manage to catch him singing, the remote might get dashed (providing my Mum isn't around of course).



Another thing is the stupid wale you seeing being lifted by the birds when Twitter is over capacity! That picture again has the potential to lead to items of value being broken (only that the warranty on my laptop has expired and I've got other things to spend my money on).

It even has the audacity to look rather gleeful during a time of frustration, as this is happening my UberTwitter is acting up!

Finally to round off my rants it seems as I browse pictures from shindigs on Facebook, that there has been an influx of the bald headed beast aka Amber Rose's. Ladies the bald headed look is not for everyone especially when accompanied with pink lipstick. I beg you take time and assess your situation before you head on over to your local barber.

I happen to know a good barber on the come up, he goes by the name of T Barber. That's him trimming Jeezy so if any more of you girls want to get your Amber/Claude Makelele on, you know whom to go to.

5 Things I Can't Get My Head Round

#1.Them X factors parasites still being there and having a chance of winning.

#2. Thierry Henry potentially ruining his reptuation over the blatant 'handball' which set up the goal that sent France to South Africa and Ireland packing, because of a split second, may be viewed as cheat on these shores for ever. So sad

#3. This wolfboy vampire rubbish, 'Twilight' that has girl of all ages swooning and is going to take over the world for the next two weeks. Its not even the attention of the girls that bothers me, I just think everyone is gassed up off the hype.

#4. Can't believe a 50 Cent album came out with such little fanfare, the video with Ne-Yo dropped like a day ago and there (well for me anyway) has no been no presence virally or on the airwaves. Really thought Interscope would push it back again. I've checked 'Before I Self Destruct' is really out. No really it is.

#5. Was about to go with the fact 2009 is almost over but I have and I am sure you will have heard about the Beyonce featuring Gaga 'Video Phone' clip. Madness.

WTF Is A Snood?

Apparently this winter, the fashion must have accessory for men and women is a 'snood'. A snood is a like a merge between a scarf and hood, it is worn round your neck and was seen quite prominently in a few fashion shows over the Fashion week calendar recently. Burberry seem to be the brand that is most excited about snoods, displaying them on many of their catwalk shows.














Below, a couple of snoods from Burberry.

They have been seen everywhere on the runways, so it is only a matter of time before we seem them in high streets on campuses.
























Examples of when snoods are worn as headscarves.

Any opinions people?

NFL Draft Picks?

Looking at runways, fashion blogs and my glancing at my little sister's fashion magazines, it looks the autumn/winter fashion trend for women this year is going to be shoulder pads.

Well I don't understand, why looking like a character out of Dallas (iconic TV show) or a tryout for the NFL.

I'm all one for trends, and going retro which in an essence is like going back to the future. But what will annoy me is when it gets out of hand and every girl, child, woman and granny will wear it at the wrong time, just because it is in. Like wet look leggings, looking like shiny extended lederhosen to me, even though accuentuating a women's lower body.

But what is gonna rile me up is when i see a school girl wearing plimosoles with multi-coloured laces, a Just-Do-It bag and a school blazer with shoulder pads. Trust me that day will come.

Please ladies, there is a place and time for everything. Danté has been mad busy and he is without laptop right now, but will be back soon.
