Amy Winehouse collaboration for Fred Perry (UK)

I love Amy Winehouse's music, but I don' care much for her personal life, although it seems she is on the mend these days. Amy has collaborated with the UK fashion label Fred Perry to bring a classic range of clothing to us with a little bit of the retro look..I love it - especially the touches of pink!




Glamour SA goes all Rockabilly on us! WHAT?

I spoilt myself for the first time in ages, and splurged on a whole bunch of magazines, only to open the December issue of Glamour to a full 8 page ROCKABILLY fashion spread...well, at least it was a fashion take on Rockabilly....what do u think? I loved the hair and make-up, liquid black liner with orangy/red lips...
