Wednesday's Icon Watch

Just a little look at those people I deem to be worthy of IT status. Today's choice is Alexa Chung. What a darling!

Born November 5, 1983 this lovelly lass has done it all. Being scouted at 14 and then 16 she hit the Storm ranks and landed cover shoots with Elle Girl. She has been gracing our telly screens for a few years now, most famously presenting T4's Popworld (which I love), which she still does. I would talk about her boyfriend but it makes me go green with envy. If only she was a few years younger. Haha.

I happily leave her with the status of IT Girl. She certinaly deserves it.
love 'er

Crimes

Okay so I've realised that you don't have to write an essay to have a good post. So I'm going to write in chunks, giving off nuggets of information.

I've also had the revalation that doing something periodically could work well. So let's start with crimes against life. Life being fashion and crimes being monstrosities and to start of the series I'm going to look at something truely bad. Not good bad but bad BAD. The Socks and Sandals look.

The look is closely associated with the Germanic Countries (no offence to those countries), although it has been seen with the more seasoned members of most countries in the world. Appearing out of the mists of time, the sock and sandals look seemed to have come as soon as socks were developed. It is possible that in ancient Greece or Rome a person had found some cloth and worn it under their sandals. From there the hideous crime began.

Now you may be wandering why there's a problem with socks and sandals. I'm not biased against anyone and if you enjoy the feeling of sweaty tootsies then go for it.But let me warn you, you look like a pedophile. Or worse you've hit your midlife crisis. Or both! Therefore my fashionable friends stay away from socks and sandals.

If it's warm and you want to wear sandals go for it. But keep those socks away. It's a remedy for sweaty feet. If it's cold then why the bloody hell are you wearing sandals in the first place! Do you want frostbite or something. Stick to proper footwear. Or none at all.

He wants your children. And thinks he's about 20. Size 20 more like.
