I saw the cutest little white dress in Mariposa the other day. It was spagetti strapped and quite clingy, went up to mid-thigh, I love it to death, but where would I *wear* it? Besides my dad would flip cuz it's pretty short.


By Joanna on Tuesday, June 30, 1998 - 08:27 am:

Shampoo,

Where is Mariposa? - Is there one in Edinburgh?
Definately buy it!! Just don't show your dad!

Luv Joanna

JOANNA ,i love your attidude !!SHAMPOO, GET THAT DRESS !!!!!!!!!!!Right,do ya have any ideas what to do with nearly waist length hair, deep red, kate winslot in titanic red.I need some funky ideas before i do actually get me scissors at it.!!Help!!!!


By Bubbles on Thursday, July 2, 1998 - 10:51 am:

Oirio,
If your hair is really curly like Kate,then I only think you should cut it a tiny bit-like an inch or something.But if you want a drastic change then get it cut a bit longer than a bob and get blondish highlights!

Personally, I like pedal pushers... They are like sooo fashionable at the mo.. just look at Denise Van Outen. You can dress them up AND down. Like, wear strappy stiletto's with them for a party or little adidas campus trainers to look cute when its sunny. If you dont wanna look like you have come stright from an audition for grease try your basic little black dress... You can do loads with it, add a cardie etc. Also, in Glasgow, there were loads of summer sales, especially in Top Shop and Miss Selfridge.

P.S. Do you think I should be called Scottish Lass or Fashion Queen?????


By Bubbles on Friday, July 3, 1998 - 07:21 am:

Fashion Queen definatly,
I just got a pair of pedal pushers from Top Shop and they are the perfect fit.


By Shampoo on Friday, July 3, 1998 - 12:28 pm:

Oirio: don't you DARE cut that hair!! I have been trying to grow my hair out like that for YEARS and it's still only past my shoulder blades. Your hair sounds so pretty! But if it's getting unhealthy or something, then only cut it a little bit, but definately keep the length.

Joanna: where the heck is edinburgh? I doubt there there is one there. I'd get the dress except I have no clue where I'm going to wear it.

Keep the hair, Oirio! you don't know how lucky you are to have it.


By Joanna on Saturday, July 4, 1998 - 01:08 pm:

Shampoo - Edinburgh is the capital of Scotland DUH!! (Sorry)

Luv Joanna (Leon-Lover) xxx


By FASHION QUEEN on Sunday, July 5, 1998 - 06:56 pm:

Ohhhhh.... I love being scottish! (Except in winter!!) Anyway, Shampoo, can't you wear this dress to parties and stuff??

Bubbles - Don't you think that pedal pushers are sooooo cute? But WHY are they called pedal pushers? Anyway - I wore mines to school and got a right slagging off the boys, for it!! (You know - "Hey Lisa, You left your jeans in the tumble drier for to long!!) I didn't care though and I wore them proudly.... plus, it was worth the attention!!! hehehehehe.... :)


By Shampoo on Sunday, July 5, 1998 - 08:50 pm:

Sorry, I don't know a lot about Scotland. I have no clue about the capital cities of most countries around the world, I don't exactly like geography. But I doubt the store would be there.

I'm not much of a dress person. I should start wearing them, tho! As soon as I get my license and get a job and make my own money I'm going to wear whatever I want, and it's going to be stuff my parents *don't* like!

By the way, what are pedal pushers? Are they shoes?


By Bubbles on Monday, July 6, 1998 - 08:59 am:

Pedal Pushers are like knee length trousers

Fashion Queen - where in scotland do you live coz i live in Glasgow and it is not very exciting.That is so unfair that you can wear whatever you want to school , i have to wear a uniform!


By FaShIoN QuEeN on Monday, July 6, 1998 - 02:17 pm:

Bubbles - I live near Glasgow!!! (Johnstone) Compared to Johnstone, Glasgow is sooooo exciting. It is rather boring here but I love all my friends and (I can't believe I am saying this!!) but my school can be a laugh.... (sometimes!! : )
I have to wear a uniform too to school, it was just 'cos it was the last day before the holidays that I got to wear my own clothes. So far though, my holiday has been pretty crap 'cos most of my pals are on holiday but once they come back I will be sure to be havin' fun as life is what you make it!! RIGHT?? What do you do in Glasgow? What age r u? Do you ever go to the dancing? Leave me your email add and we can become friends.

Bye - oh fashionable FRIENDS.

Hey are we still discussing fashion? My name's Nikki, I'm from Sydney Australia, and the BIGGEST things in fashion this winter are as follows:
#1...Pedal pushers.
#2...Twin sets in pretty pastel colours.
#3...knee length skirts with slits up both sides.
#4...Oriental prints.
$5...Skinny pants with a skirt over the top...LAYERS, LAYERS, LAYERS!
#6...Faux fur trim and jackets.
#7...Leather pants.
#8...Slides with toe straps.
#9...Black, dark denim & powder blues.
#10...Butterfly clips!
Mind you, it is winter in Australia right now...Brrrr! But the coldest the city ever gets is about 13° Celcius.
Best shops in Sydney for gear...Pink Ink, Sportsgirl, Miss Shop, Portmans, Valley Girl, Hound Dog, General Pants, Dotti, Emporio (four floors of SHOES!), Jeanswest (for the perfect Dark Denim jeans), Westco, Cruise and Ashcroft.
Don't forget...The nail and LIppy colours of the winter season...baby pinks, gold, bright reds and nudes.

Shampoo, i think i read your opinion a wee bit late.It is now to me shoulder.Looks better though.Thanx.

I really like the Bohemian look at the mo. You know with lots of layering and the wearing of trousers under the dress.

I would also like to say that I don't care how big a rage they are on the catwalk at the moment... Those Mary-Jane shoes are so unattractive and unflattering.


By Anonymous on Wednesday, October 21, 1998 - 01:19 am:

A fashion that is about to blow up huge all over the US is wearing sweatshirts with the arms and stretchy parts on the bottom cut off on top of a plaid shirt with either khakis or khaki cargo pants. You know it rules so be the first to impress everyone at your school and say you started the trend. See ya.


By Ms.bass on Sunday, October 25, 1998 - 07:12 am:

i'm sorry but i think that pedal-pushers are sooo annoying and if your not model perfect, quite unflattering! also, i think that all these powder blues and baby pinks just make alot of people look overly feminine. don't get me wrong, theres nothing bad about being abit girly but it's just not a look i'd go for!
my fashion tips are;
*skate jeans and combats(easy to wear & sexy!)
*logo tees and band tees (but beware, if you wear a cool band tee, you should really like their music!)
*big eyes in blues & vivid purples
*bright nails
*important* NO STRAPPY SANDALS!! just too back-breaking and not really practical!
Well seeya luvvies!

1:How do I lose a flabby tum quickly???
2:I need a galm, sophisticated dress but no frills no gold and nothing that flows and nothing slutty-oh and it has to be most definately under £150
Can anybody give me any ideas-I live in dublin and don't get many well know shops just toshop etc...But i'm really looking for types of dresses!
Cheers!!!!


By Anonymous on Wednesday, October 28, 1998 - 03:50 pm:

to loose a flabby tum you should do stomache scrunches


By MeG on Wednesday, October 28, 1998 - 04:57 pm:

HOW DO U DO A STOMACH CRUNCH???
*MeG*


By Ms.bass on Monday, November 2, 1998 - 01:23 pm:

ANON; Try shops like new look, tammy(etam), bay, river island etc. they have pretty cool dresses which you can customise (this a brilliant way to be origional!) or add cool or chunky jewellery. Cheap and chearful is my motto!! (but never tacky! be careful)
my advice is open for everyone so if you have a fashion prob. let me know!!


By Anonymous on Friday, November 6, 1998 - 03:54 pm:

it's sorta like sit ups but you don't go up all the way and you have to make sure your stomache muscles hardens


By Coo on Saturday, November 7, 1998 - 12:30 pm:

Hi I Love combats and tight tee's and at the moment I really like baggy fleeces as well-snuggly for winter and cool.Thing is I'm like not skinny and I can't be bothered to exercise so I get really self-concious wearing anything which shows skin any ideas of cool stuff which looks as good/better on chubby people?


By Thora on Saturday, November 7, 1998 - 06:19 pm:

you know what 2 fashion trends i can't stand?

1-pedal pushers (too fifties)
2-those stretchy black polyester flare pants

that said, i'd just like to say that thrift stores are good places to shop. you never know what you'll find. i also think that people shouldn't wear clothes if they don't feel comfortable in them AND like the way they look in them. clothes that are loose fitting (but not ridiculously baggy) are what i like best, but if you're proud of your figure and don't feel you have to suck in your gut whenever you wear a midriff, then go for it. but be sure to experiment with fashion and figure out what you prefer.


By Moo on Sunday, November 8, 1998 - 04:59 pm:

Thora, I agree, pedal pushers are horrible ( without wishing to offend anyone)
Coo, are you also known as Noo or is this just a weird coincdence?
See ya


By Noodles on Tuesday, November 10, 1998 - 01:37 pm:

That is just a wierd coincidence because I'm Noo(Noodles) and I didn't post that message Sorry Saz! You're very inquisitive arn't you? I noticed you wanted to know if two of the anons were the same! Any way never mind Speak up Coo
