Pretty Feathers Make Fine Birds

Do you want to steal some attention at the Christmas parties you're going to? I know you do!

Just follow this Cobrasnake girl's example and wear a large feather decoration in your hair. I think it looks absolutely brilliant, and it will make you stand out in the crowd.

Carrie's done it, so you know you want to aswell!

Just one word of advice, take it easy on the eyeshadow. Don't go too wild with it!

Take A Walk On The Wild Side

Okay, so today's post is not MJ's great guess of stalking MK for a full day and taking lots of marvelous photos of her (that would have been a phenomenol post!), but some of you guessed it anyway. This post is all about leopard because ever since I saw these two photos from New York Fashion Week (Lou Doillon) and Milan Fashion Week (The Sartorialist girl), I've had leopard print spinning in my head.




I know that it's maybe slightly off-beat talking about leopard print since it's not in all the fashion magazines and it's not referred to as the 'hot new trend' at the moment, but still, if there's one thing that I've heard from many a stylists mouth it's: Don't throw away any of your leopard pieces! This print always comes back in style. It's that, and you should own at least one perfect Little Black Dress. So, because I feel that my leopard mania is here to stay for a while, I'll share some of my favourite ways of wearing this print. It's important to know what you're doing at all times when you're dealing with something leopard printed because we just have to face it: leopard can go from classy to trashy in a second. So jot down a few style notes from these photos to get it juuuust right.

And just to let you know before looking at the pictures: I've chosen not to post photos of the really known leopard printed looks..you know like the ones worn by Kate, Sienna, Kiera, Nicole etc. (I know, I know...Angelina's coat and Gwen's dress are quite known for the leopard lovers, but I just had to include them!) The reason why is because I would like to mix it up a little, and I have sometimes found that looking beyond my favourite style icons and towards others who I pay a little less attention to, rewards me. If you only tend to stick with a few style icons, things can easily become a bit similar and you might get a bit stuck in your ways of styling your outfits.

Do you own anything leopard printed that you absolutely love?

Celebrate Good Times, Come On!

Hip hip hooray, it's StyleSpot's 2nd birthday today! I hope everyone's baked a cake for the occassion and that you're all blowing up balloons and wearing party hats as we speak. No, I'm only joking, not even I have done that (even though I do fancy a big slice of chocolate cake right at this very moment!) Anyhow, I'd like to use this post as an opportunity to thank all of you who read this blog and each and every single one of you who leaves a comment. I am so grateful to you, and I am so happy to have made the aquaintance of so many good-hearted and wonderful bloggers!

So, in an earlier post I did promise to celebrate this birthday properly, but since today is very busy (I nearly don't have time to do this post!), I'll have to be the bearer of bad news and say that unfortuneately the big birthday post won't be up today, but I do promise that it will be ready and posted in a few days.

In the meantime I have a little request for whoever that's interested. You see, I'm going to this fancy hotel event in a few weeks time. Usually I have around about 20 outfits planned in my head almost immediately for events like this, and I have to admit that I am playing around with a few dress-up ideas right now. The thing is that I found two dresses from Warehouse in my wardrobe that I haven't used a lot, so I thought that, maybe instead of going out and spending a lot of money on a completely new outfit, I'd go for one of these two. The problem is though that my mind is completely blank on how to style them. So are any of budding stylists who see any visions for these dresses? Are you up for the challenge? Either just leave a comment describing the outfit, or why not create it in Polyvore and send me the link? I'd be so thankful if you will help me out, because I really could save the money that I might put into a gorgeous womens' tuxedo or a lovely hip-hugging skirt if you don't.

And PS. The dresses look much nicer in reality!
