You think you know me?

I enjoy writing about what I see. I enjoy seeing changes in fashion everyday. We as people are not only evolving in life, but our fashion is following the evolution. I enjoy painting when time allows. I also enjoy my two dogs that keep me on my toes at all times. Watch out when you have a wine glass near them, they are winos. Where did they get that from?? Who knows.

       There is noting like catching some great street style. Yes, you could go to your local grocery, and pick up a copy of a fashion magazine. You could spend 4-11 dollars to look at ads. The print ads that make everything look like there is light radiating off of it. Not only is the light memorizing you, but angels are singing hallelujah. This all happens so fast, and you are left to try to control your drooling. You could do this, its true. I do this myself, often. Vogue, and Bazaar keep me up to date on new designers, and cutting edge styling. However, I believe in comparison. If are not just a page flipper, and you actually would like to learn, researching pictures of street style takes the fashion cake. Sorry professional photo shoot, you stand no chance against the champion,  street style. Viva fashion of the people. 


    Wearable fashion, walking down the street. Without the lighting, pinning, posing, and airbrushing. I don't know about you, reader. All I know is, I do not want to be tricked into thinking I will look great in the frock that the 6'11 model is wearing. Only to find out, that on my petite frame, it resembles something of the Umpaloompa variety. This is when, the candid shots of the street style come in handy.  You can view the way a outfit falls, in real life, on real people. You can also see new ways of styling an outfit. New ways that you would never think of. You can view millions of pictures (I warn you, this can eat up countless hours of your time.) A never ending stream of pictures, always updated. Whereas the magazine will eventually come to the last page, making you only crave more. In addition you can view the style of other countries. Prepare yourself kids, this is all at your finger tips for FREE! 

Okay, so you are thinking, "damn what have I been missing?", right? Well I am going to be honest. You have been missing out on a lot. You however can turn your life around. I figured I would help you out, I will point you in the right direction. I am sort of your Sherpa, if you will, in this fashion journey. I would like to start you off in the right spot. What better place to take the first step in your travels, with  the street styling of the English. The style found in parts of England are classy, yet playful, fashionable, and also have a sense of casual-rocker. I believe that the trends, and the feel, of the style born to England have been greatly influenced by the raging music scene. With such wonderful music history born out of England, how could the fashion not be influenced along the way.

I will quit my yammering, here is a little taste of what is out there. In the fashion waters, of the Liverpool, and other part of England.
