I heart American Apparel

I dont think it really needs to be said does it, i love american apparel. In my eyes, they can do no wrong. Well maybe, some of their photos can sometimes come across as being slightly pornographic. But, in this day and age. Sex sells, and i know that, after all i work in a store that uses a sexy image to sell their clothing.

Anyway, i love American Apparel so much so, most of my wardrobe is made up of their clothing, some being the same item but in different colours (can you honestly say you dont have that too? because if you're saying no, I THINK YOU'RE LYING!).

anyway, here are two things i really want from the ever growing 'new' collection from AA.The above photos are a LACE leotard (mmm...i love leotards, although you always forget how incredibly inconvieniant they are up until you need the toilet). BUY ME ONE...If anyone feels generous, i'm a size Small...
This one i think is also one of their coolest leotards, although they've had this one for quite a while, i still havent got round to buying one. But GET ONE HERE and make me jealous.

oh sad times for my bank balance as there are so many more things i want from AA.

Shope online!

anyway, a couple of the reasons i have a deep love for AA are their campaigns..such as:

1) LEGALIZE LA , the latest update is a touching story about one of the factory workers.
2) LEGALIZE GAY, something i so strongly believe in, and i was deeply disappointed when Prop 8 passed. I have so many close friends who are gay and with all my heart i want them to have the rights that everyone else does.
3) Environmental Initiatives, come on guys, its the 3 R's. You know what I mean!

and a fourth one that i'm indifferent about...it being something about organic materials...

so read up boys and girls! do some online shopping. (maybe even buy me something?!)

love hoops xx

kicking up a fuss...

Over the last year I have really gotten into high heeled boots, my first pair being a beautiful suede pair from Nordstroms in California. They were the most comfortable boots ever, sadly however, I wore them into the ground. So after i had to put those boots to rest, i strived to find a pair equally as eye catching. Finally, however i succeded.

With these.


How pretty are they?! Made with soft buttery leather, they slouch perfectly. The only bad thing is that they aren't cushioned very much on the inside so it's like you're walking on wood. And when you walk the gold zippers knock against each other which you become aware of because of the sound. But they're so pretty, i chose to ignore these little bad points after all
'Faut souffrir pour etre belle' as someone dear to me once said, right?!

So anyway, the reason I brought up my boots is because I wore them at LFW and as much as I knew they were pretty amazing (haha) I didnt realise how much attention they would attract. They attracted more attention than I had even imagined...I was expecting a couple compliments here and there. But the boots took on a life of their own...I guess, if that makes any sense. I was constantly being stopped and asked about them, repeatedly had my photo taken (with permission and without!!) for blogs, magazines and for peoples degree projects. At one point, mid conversation, i looked down to see a woman with a video camera filming them, I looked down and asked her 'are you alright down there?' to which she replied 'Yep, just filming your boots...hope you dont mind'. How could i? After all they were after all my fashion week pride and joy.

Anyway, for those of you who read this and like the boots you can get them HERE!

signing off, with hugs and kisses!
