And I don’t think it will ever be okay. How many of you would actually wear this? Yet some designers have brought the look back in their new collections.  The picture is from Karen Walkers A/W08-09 collection.

I just find it strange that some of the other fashion blogs I read are raving about this look? I think maybe they are raving about this look because the fashion industry has a brain washing element to it. If someone bought this outfit and wore it down the street, would they honestly think to themselves “Hey! I look really cool!” I don’t think so…

You know…you don’t have to listen to every catwalk review to be in style!

But unfortunately it is not mine, it’s Mariah Carey’s and she is Architectural Digest’s celebrity home of the week.

If you have not used St. Tropez self tanning products then shame on you! They give you a beautiful French Riviera tan almost instantly, trust me I have used their products before. Well if you live in London or plan on visiting now until July 10, Selfridges on Oxford Street is offering customers a spray tan at the store for half the normal price it would cost you. All you have to do is pop into Selfridges and you get to go in one of their tanning huts.

I believe you have to make an appointment and you can do so by calling 0800 123 400 - extension 13234. AND to top it all off, after your spray on tan you get to take home a pair of flip flops

Last night the BBC had a program called Primark: On The Rack. Recently there have been major concerns and criticism against the company in regards to its supply chain in India. This BBC program was aired yesterday to expose Primark and tell the public the truth about who is actually supplying the company’s clothing. It is important to note that in every Primark store there are signs throughout stating that all of the clothing is creating using completely ethical and fair trade/labor practices.

Undercover reporters found that there was unethical labor and child labor practices in three of Primark’s subcontracted factories in India. Not just that, in the slums of India, outside the factories children were hand sewing clothing in unsightly working conditions such has in streets, basements and kitchens of homes. The footage was very disturbing and the BBC let Primark know about their findings in which Primark’s response was “Under no circumstances would Primark ever knowingly permit such activities”. Primark has since claimed to have halted business with those suppliers.

Here is the video of last nights program:

As for today, I am going to post a few resort collections for you as promised. Stay tuned!
