STORM WATCHES

'It Tells The Time And Secondly It's Puts You In A Fine Class Of Your Own'

Watches have come to be a every man's best friend. These days, watches are not only worn to tell the time but also made to put you in a different class of your own... believe it or not.
As an accessories it adds confidence and precision to ones style.

This is why I introduce to you some of my favorite watches innovated/invented by STORM to be worn this season and the season to come.
 They are out now in stores to buy.

The STORM watch collection I chose - Aquanaut Duo, Nexon(white, black, blue and red)and Sigma- are watches depicting the kind of man who likes quality in very subtle way. Simple but very effective.

The Aquanaut duo (STORM Black) is bold, beautiful and strong. The kind of watch for a man with does lots of active activities and yet still maintaining his style. The man's man kind of watch, I would say.

The Nexon watch comes in a different colours of stripes which adds a degree of freshness and youth to your style depending on what colour choice you make. And especially with the summer olympics on its way why not look the part and stand out.

The sigma watch, another must have of mine. It is very classic and chic. It's simplicity leaves much to be desired. A watch that can be worn any time of the day. An investment piece that can be passed on to next generation.
Pleasure!

SORAPOL AUTUMN WINTER 2012.

SORAPOL AUTUMN WINTER 2012
www.sorapol.co.uk

The beauty of the living dead. It was tale that had to be told. What more can you ask for? The anesthetic of the collection set a world of it's own. The  pace and the faces of the models as they meticulously walked the the runway was like a warrior girl on her return from exile. Not only has she returned but comes with her conquest - skull.

War at it's best where the ammunition  is the clothes, the mounted face mask head piece and she shows no emotion what so ever. The skull of the night. They come in black, gold, bronze and silver. The trophies she has attained on he quest.


Sorapol A/W12 is the war personified... The war guard in a murmur headed piece. Snow will melt at your feet and the ocean in the winter will flow. The tiger in the far east has come to roast. Queen of the east with yellow tail fur put on the shoulder as she strides her stuff. Yes, once again.. No emotion at all. Come this Autumn winter 2012, Sorapol will be conquering the wave and creating new ones.


Protection I need not as I am the crystal spears of the day and night. Every breath I take turns into crystal. Pave the way as one needs to. 

The pearl helmet  brings a touch of class and the use of fur in the collection sets in class of a Russian bourgeoisie. The collection had one of the richest fabric which examined closely one could the intricate details that had gone into it.


The structure of the pieces were attained in their finest form as it brought Sorapol's vision and inspiration to light - Iron grip.


I can well say the theme 'Iron Grip' surely triumphed on the night, judging from applause and screams of wanting more from the invited guest, audiences and the fashion crowd.


What a show it was.

THIS IS THE TIME TO SAY - ENOUGH!

Break Free From The Shackles of Being A Fashion Slave...

Time To Be The Master.

This is the time when you say enough is enough... I am not going to be a slave to it - FASHION. I know it will be a hard journey for you to embark on but like I said, you have to be determined and break yourself from the shackles of fashion slave-dom  


I would say, love fashion and adore everything about it but to be a slave to it is certainly not my style. And the worst thing for any girl or a guy is to be a fashion salve and still get it wrong... not good at all. 


Being a slave to fashion is certainly not a good thing at all. Well, I am here to say enough is enough. Don't go chasing waterfalls because you are definitely going to drown in it. By that I mean, don't try to look like someone else or that man or woman in the magazine you picked up.


Have you thought about just creating your own style? Well it is quite easy. Wear whatever you want and it wont hurt you. Have the confidence because if you do it would show on the outside and your style will be assured.


 The Style icons and the trendsetters aren't slaves, they are rule breakers when it comes to fashion, so why not be one. Don't copy but create. Expensive doesn't always mean good! It's not as hard as you think. Get in touch and let's do it.

HEELS ON AND GO!

CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN

It is a natural thing for her. She just grabs them slide her feet in and there she goes. Didn't matter what she wore, she always had them on her feet. It was one thing wearing them and another thing walking in them. The good thing is,she can walk in them.


What and who I am talking is my mother - Agnes S and her love for wearing heels.


This piece is about heel wearing for women and how it should play an integral part their everyday wear. This is a topic that needs to be addressed for we have the flat shoes invading our streets. 


 For this matter I will be talking about heels. I think they make a woman look confident and stand tall obviously. So this is why there is no excuse for a woman not to own at least a few pair of heels in here closet.


The outfit might not be cutting edge, which sometimes you might get away with or be pardon for but  ladies, you get away with wearing any odd pair of shoes.


Wearing heels under your feet should be a natural thing that comes easily and it will be a prominent torch under your feet. It is important to really invest in a good pair. Don't buy shoes for the sake of it. There is nothing so awkward and embarrassing when your heel wobbles as you walk.


As we usher into this season of freshness and sublimity, ladies make it part and parcel of rocketing your heels. Heels should be one of your summer essentials.It doesn't matter what you wear, the heels have got to come on.


It makes a difference. Spring your outfit back to life with your heels.


Go!

STYLISTPICK EXCLUSIVE EVENT WITH LOUISE ROE - 3rd March,2012.

The LA Based Glamazon - LOUISE ROE

LOUISE ROE

Louise Roe was introduced as 'She's  red carpet regular, and is known  for her love of vintage style and skyscraper shoes'... Louise Roe aside all that from my personal observation is not just a pretty face but also a very intelligent, articulate woman with an appealing persona.


This beauty, with a one of the best legs in the industry happens to have a her own shoe and jewellery collection which she spoke passionately about at  her launch event in White city - Westfield.  


I happened to have a  closer look at the shoe collection and it was pleasing to the eye. Colour popping and had a bit of bohemian chic to it. Chunky heels meant comfort and easy to walk in. The sandels and shoe wedges exhumes style and substance. 


Louise's love for vintage and all things bohemian can be seen in her jewellery and shoe collection. The whole glam traveller and 70s style is what she got her inspiration from. 


Style for me is about comfort, confidence to wear colour and being able to stand tall, at ease and elegant in a pair of towering heels. Louise's footwear has certainly achieved that.


'I am obsessed with colour and orange in particular' said Louise Roe with absolute passion. Well she certainly did not fall short on colour when it came her shoe collection for Stylistpick.  


Lets not forget Louise's shoe collection are named after female style icons she adores for their pure sense of style - The Bardo - The Hotton, The Talitha.
