Walking on Sunshine!

Sure, the whole world may be obsessed with her big sister, but when it comes to fashion, personal style, and knowing how to make a statement with clothes, Beyonce doesn't have anything on Solange.

Business on top. Party on the bottom. Perfect overall. Leave it to Solange to make Michael Kors look young and cool.

All is Full of Love

How amazing is this Tee? If only I had seen it before Halloween, could have gone as you know who... Available on ASOS for a very reasonable €25

Spot the odd one out?

John Slattery. In a Tuxedo.

Tinie Tempah. In a Tuxedo.

James Corden. In a tuxedo.

Lana Del Rey. In nothing.

And they say that there is no longer a need for feminism?

Let me start off by saying; I'm a big GQ fan, I like their style and the magazine is always well designed, and yes, I know that at the end of the day its basically a high class Lads Mag, but it was always kept me entertained when reading it.

But is there a need for international chart topping singer Lana Del Rey to be naked? And not only naked, but looking vulnerable and almost child like, and weak? And if they must to go down the naked route, they could have made her a lot more powerful looking, ála Helmut Newton's famous nude.

 

which LOVE did a very good interpretation of.

If you compare Lara & Lana, there is no question of who looks more powerful.

And on that note, why is Lana naked in the first place? Does no one remember Anne Hathaway at the Oscars looking amazing in a Lanvin Tux and Brian Atwood pumps? 

Or Diane Kruger at InStyle's Summer Soiree in Jason Wu?

There are plenty of ways to wear a Tuxedo and still be feminine, sexy, powerful and most importantly equal. Cause at the end of the day, that was my major issue when I saw these covers on the News Stand. Lana Del Rey is undoubtedly more internationally recognized thank John, Tinie or James, yet her cover does not equal that of her success.

I think Margaret Cho said it best when she said:

“You know, you don’t have to be a woman to be a feminist. You should just fucking be a feminist, really. And if you’re not a feminist, you should kill yourself.”

Blunt? Yes. True? Possible... At the end of the day who brought you into this world? It wasn't a stroke, I can tell you that much.

No Doubt about It!

I am so happy that No Doubt are back. And, I am even happier that their new song, Settle Down, sounds just like a classic No Doubt record, and that they didn't go all dancey just to fit in with today's charts. True Originals.

Apologies for the lack of posts lately, I have been off on my travels. But I am home once again, and have lots more stories to share.

Ombré no hombre

I know the season for tights has probably past for most ladies, but these ombré tights by BZR are so cool. They could easily be the focus point of any outfit. They are available for about €40 on BZR's etsy site.

SYD2030 is here!

I have so much admiration for the markers of SYD2030! In a time where everyone seems to be broke, and no one is doing anything but complaining, nothing makes me happier than to see a group of young people trying to get a something off the group.

SYD2030 is a brand new web series, described as Gossip Girl down under, which focus' on Cameron Hunter, and how his world is turned upside down by the return of the mysterious she!

Considering the budget limitations, this first episode is amazingly promising. The cast a young and spirited, and while not professionals, they are convincing as fun loving teens. The music and score is great throughout, and the over all visuals, from the wardrobe to cinematography is most impressive.

Here on WHAM we'll be posting the next episode as soon as its live, so keep it here for everything SYD2030!
