Sex and the City

Yes, I went to see Sex and the City today, primarily to see the outfits, they were amazing! I love how extravagant and weird they all are. My favourite had to be Carrie's huge lilac skirt when she's in the market, I loved how big and voluminous it was!

The OC: Summer Roberts

Right, the heart top I was talking about in the last post is the one on the left side in the middle. You can't see much of it but it's red with hearts making a strap.


I know this is going to be controversial, but I much prefer Summer's style than Marissa's, but this could probably be because it is quite similar to mine and what I want mine to be like. I also found a good website for photos which was liketheoc.tumblr.com, so thanks the creator for the photos!

I love sparkly things, so this sparkly shrug was a definite favourite.I like this red spotty dress from one of the episodes, it's simple but works really well.This photo's just good because of the cuteness of the hats and the episode.The coffee cart episode was one of the best ones ever, I also loved the pastel stripy top and how it was dressed up with another sparkly shrug.I'm not a big pick fan, but I love the floatiness of the dress and how summery it is.I loved the wedding dress in the last episode.

The OC: Marissa Cooper

I've been watching the OC again whilst I've been doing Uni work, and it reminded me of how fashionable the series was at the time. I personally still remember some of the outfits worn and I think to some extent it still influences what I wear now. So I've picked some of my favourite Marissa Cooper (played by Mischa Barton) outfits.

I love the cream dress and pearls when it's the school prom episode. Even though it uses simple, plain colours it works really well and I've always loved the pearls!I liked the short-sleeved orange jacket worn in this episode in season 2. It's summery, bright and cheerful.I really like how natural this hairstyle is but it still looks really sophisticated. I also like how it's paired with just a plain t-shirt.I like this group photo because all the women's dresses are different. I love Rachel Bilson's (the light blue dress) and I love Mischa Barton's navy dress too.There's also a red heart top that I loved as well, but I can't find a photo of it, but I'll try my hardest to get a picture of it. I'll be doing Summer's outfits soon!

Does one size really flatter all?

I've been doing some research into the concept of 'one size fits all' recently for my uni work. Basically, one size fits all (in relation to clothing) means that clothing can fit a range of sizes. This means that they can stretch to fit larger sizes or be tied and wrapped to fit a smaller size. I'm really fascinated by this concept, because how handy would it be to walk into a shop and just pick something up you like and not being concerned about the size. You would never have to waste time trying things on, which means you could hit a lot more shops in a shorter amount of time.

However, there's one niggling question in the back of my mind. It's alright saying clothing can fit a range of sizes, but will it flatter? Sizing is difficult with clothing because a range of people may be the same size, but they will have curves in different places and areas that they want to show off or conceal. So is it not virtually impossible to create a garment that can flatter lots of people?

Well, I hope not, because in this new world of shoping all the time online, wouldn't it be handy not to worry about if you're buying the right size clothes and buying presents for people would be so easy!
Maybe I should just keep asking the rheotorical questions, definately need to do more research into this. I shall keep you posted!
