The Perfect Roadtrip

Every now & then when your life gets complicated & the weasels start closing in, the only real cure is to load up on heinous chemicals & then drive like a bastard from Hollywood to Las Vegas. To relax, as it were, in the womb of the desert sun. Just roll the roof back & […]

Dressing Up

The slogan for iCiNG is “dress up, leave a false name, be legendary”. I must admit that I borrowed it from Hakim Bey’s essay on poetic terrorism, but that doesn’t make it any less applicable to my life or this website. I was reminded of this when I read my friend Penny’s journal post, “Dressing […]

Five Fashion Crimes & How To Avoid Them

05. Sheer leggings I am yet to see anyone make this look good. Anything in a pale colour on the leg makes it look bigger, & when you add translucent material into the mix, it really draws the eye. In a bad way. Yesterday I saw a girl wearing a really short skirt with sheer […]

Accessorising For Men

I’ve got a boyfriend who’s not altogether a bad dresser – what he wears is what the majority of boys in my (very warm) country dress in: big tees/polo tees paired with jeans or berms, with Nike dunks, Adidas superstars or flip-flops. But I’d love to see him dress up just a little bit more, […]

How To Beat Problem Skin Into Submission

A question: I was wondering if you had any advice or product recommendations for those of us with “problem” skin. I still get acne at the age of 27, and though I have been searching for years, I can’t seem to find anything to control it. I am loathe to ask advice at a department […]

Inspiring desks

This topic becomes larger on my horizon every day. Since I started working from home, I’ve really come to appreciate how important it is to enjoy the space in which you work. I have always enjoyed decorating the places I live in, but when I was going out to work, I was really only spending […]

Carousel — Week Ending 2nd February 2007

Chanel Haute Couture from I Am Fashion. I really like this collection, it’s very crisp & wearable. I am mad about those two-tone shoes, damn, & I love the white pleated dress. It would be perfect as part of my new cyber-coquette uniform. A lesson in less is more from My Fashion Life, with Victoria […]

Valentine’s Day Treats

Okay. I know Valentine’s Day is a major sore point with a lot of people. Capitalist holiday, blah blah blah, yeah I know. I used to be part of the anti-Valentine’s brigade myself. I have since realised that being against anything is a huge waste of energy which I do my very best not to […]

Signature Scents

Coco Chanel said that you should wear perfume wherever you want to be kissed, & when Marilyn Monroe was asked what she wore to bed, she replied “two drops of Chanel No.5”. Of course, both statements were excellent P.R. for Chanel’s perfumes. I, personally, have never understood the appeal of Chanel No. 5. It’s lacking […]

How To Dress Up A School Uniform

How, indeed? School uniforms are ugly, unflattering & a violation of rights. I wore a uniform for my entire school-going career, so please believe me when I say that I feel your pain. There are various ways of stamping your own mark on these dowdy articles. Most teenagers end up with shortened skirts, their shirt […]
