I Love Her, She Loves Me

Far more sleek unicorn than clunky purple dinosaur, Barney looks incredible whenever we see her. She carries off her asymmetric haircut with aplomb and is always perfectly put-together, yet never looks as though she has slaved over an outfit. We snapped her stylishly strolling thorough the Sunday markets looking super kawaii! She sparkled upon us and we saw a double rainbow just moments later.

Sephora's white eyeliner helped to create her unicorn eyes and her perfect pout is courtesy of Rimmel's 1000 Kisses

Poppy Print Pants - ASOS, Pink Coat - Topshop, Cream Brogues - Irregular Choice

We love her periwinkle nails

"Triangles are my favourite shape" ~ This chiffon blouse with holographic triangle detailing was an amazing Bershka find.

Barney can be your best friend too, if you just believe in her~

Shoreditch Fashion Show 2013 - Boys Keep Swinging

Our eyes were very much on stalks at Offbeat Live's Shoreditch Fashion Show 2013, as we met boys whose wardrobes we were eager to raid! Convinced, as we are, that there is at least one magpie nesting in each of our family trees, it was a great pleasure to see that the boys of East London have a similar love for all things shiny. Gentlemen, observe and take note. 

We fell hard for every part of the Pause Magazine blogger's ensemble.

Seems as though she liked the DJ's scarf as much as we did.

Samm Bate, please can we have your necklace and your eyebrows. Thx. 

Were there a prize for "Outstanding Contribution to Hair" it undoubtedly would have been awarded to The Thirst. 

Not sure that this is what The Clash were singing about, but we appreciated the studding detail on these "Guns of Brixton."

With his effortlessly cool Japanese style, Kan is very much at home in London.

Shoreditch Fashion Show 2013 - Get 'Em, Girls

Offbeat Live's Shoreditch Fashion Show for 2013 was an amazing experience and especially because we met so many interesting, fashion-forward ladies. Being able to fangirl-out over nose rings, Nasty Gal, statement necklaces, handbags with matched fervor was like a homecoming. Enjoy and be inspired by the amazing outfits from the ladies of TSFS 2013! 

Badass bloggers, Yasmin El Circy and Cassy Bhairo from Illustrated People.

Michelle Morrison, Fashion Design Student with amazing taste in jewelry.

Stars of the night, the designers of Runaway 88, were finalists in the Shoreditch Fashion Show.

Yim Hin, Jewelry Designer, had an enchanting statement necklace on. 

Indre Jakumaite, Handbag Designer of #IJ, makes bold, bright bags. The luscious orange color made us drool!

Cozy sweaters and tribal statement necklaces -- we love the combination on Christine Jayne McKay and Holley Potts

Catherine Laura is the talented photographer behind the breathtaking underwater photograph above.

Last Saturday was the much-anticipated OffBeat Live Shoreditch Fashion Show 2013 (in association with Made in Shoreditch magazine & Vivid Fashion Group) and we RF girls were absolutely obnoxious with excitement. The event was held in an airy warehouse, which was decorated with amazing fashion-inspired works of art; we were particularly charmed by a Romeo + Juliet piece and a Dom and Ink top-knot illustration! Several musicians took to the stage, including our favorite of the night, Brixton-made band The Thirst  (who we suspect could seriously whip our arses at Guitar Hero). Attendees were dressed in their finest quirky pieces -- we noticed that statement necklaces featured heavily on girls and boys(!) and it really was wonderful gaining inspiration from fellow fashion-obsessed individuals and chatting with up-and-coming designers, artists and bloggers. 

In our next post, coming later this week, we will be featuring the fabulous ladies we met and after that it will be all about the boys. Stay tuned!

High Heels Get Low

1. YSL Ingenue Pumps (similar here) 2. Zara Studded Slingback 3. J.Crew Janey Patent Flats 4. Jeffrey Campbell Affair Sandal 5. Zara Metallic Sandals 6. Clarks Sharna Balcony Shoe

We Remotely Fashion females have a love-hate relationship with most heels. We love how heels make our legs more unicorn-like, because we are trying in vain to look like human-versions of The Last Unicorn. On the other hand, we are admittedly clumsy, clutzy and easily lost (meaning we end up walking way more than we planned). Fortunately the fashion gods have smized upon us and low heels were a runway regular for Spring 2013 (Marc Jacobs, Saint Laurent, and Nicholas Kirkwood, to name a few).

But I needed to see my patron saint Alexa Chung rocking her YSL Ingenue pumps in order to quell my trepidation. We think the key to keeping this style from going matronly is to look for dainty ankle straps as well as futuristic colors and textures. Metallics aren't just for F/W, we think silver or rose gold would pair perfectly with a pastel-colored outfit. Basic black is also sure to look very classy and feminine and would look lovely with a bodycon midi-dress or a pair of tailored trousers. From the window to the wall, we are about to get low! How about you?

I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream For Ice-cream

Reluctant to anger Thor and the gang, the following comes with our fingers tightly crossed and a piece of wood very much to hand. But just on the off chance that the change in weather isn't a red herring, and spring truly has sprung, here is a wishlist of lactose free ice-creams shades.

Telephone Ring - Me&Zena, Spike Necklace - Nasty Gal,  Ice Cream & Sprinkles Nail Kit - Nails Inc, Blouse - Urban Outfitters, Lace Bra - & Other Stories, Sunglasses - Nasty Gal

School Spirit!

Siobhan's oufit: Sweater - Forever 21, Skirt - Forever 21, Blazer - Urban Outfitters, Socks - Topshop, Ankle boots - H&M, Bracelet - Gift, Collar necklace - Accessorize

Anou's outfit: T-shirt - Crooks & Castle, Letterman Jacket - 10 Deep, Maroon Trousers - Topman, Shoes - Cole Haan LunarGrand Wingtip, Watch - Nixon Timeteller 

Before going out on a windy, rainy night, I realized that Anou and I had a 'theme' going on. With his Letterman jacket and my pleated skirt and blazer we had some sort of Public vs. Private school mash-up going on. Raindrops seem to have invaded our photography but the weather was remarkably warmer today. Very excited to don some more springy styles shortly!
