Hysterical fashion faux pas

Saturday, April 14th, 2012 by Kim Bolsover

I’ve just arrived home from a lovely day out to discover 17 photos in The Telegraph showing some of the hideous fashion dos and don’ts at Ladies’ Day at Aintree today.

If you start at photo # 1, they get funnier and funnier but this last one made me shriek aloud with laughter; in fact, I nearly wet myself and I seriously need an extra large gin and tonic right now.

I love the Telegraph’s notes with this:

  • Do: pack some emergency rain gear – you are in England after all.
  • Don’t: wear your fascinator on top of said rain gear.

As a potential image client, I think she’s a total lost cause.

What do you think?

PS. It’s the Grand National tomorrow and I shall be rooted to the TV as usual. I know absolutely nothing about horse racing but, just like the Boat Race last weekend, I never miss any of our national events.  English to the core!

Some brides should be flogged

Saturday, March 17th, 2012 by Kim Bolsover

If you’ve read my article ‘Do we really need ALL these clothes?‘ you might be wondering why I included lavender in my holiday packing, even though the rest of it was mainly black, white and pink.

Lilac (or lavender) is a marvellous universal colour that suits* just about everyone so no matter which season you are, you could easily add it to your holiday packing.

As an example, if a bride discovers that her four bridesmaids are one of each season, then I would most likely suggest she dress them all in lilac or some shade of soft lavender as they will all then stand some chance of looking good.

In my opinion, those brides that dress their Autumn bridesmaids in baby blue or baby pink should be taken out and flogged! They should invest some of their wedding budget on colour analysis for the entire bridal party and make sure everyone looks and feels gorgeous! Then the bridesmaids might even smile for the photographs!

And as the bride has to look at her own wedding photos on the mantelpiece for the next 50 years, that’s not such a bad idea!

* The point of a universal colour is that no-one looks grotesque. Not everybody is going to look absolutely fabulous in it but they won’t look utterly hideous either.
