Do you think I can Handel the Messiah?
Hello. My name is Theodore. My name literally means ‘Gift of God’ in ancient Greek. My parents purchased an antique ivory piano and here I am honing my musical skills. I am learning to play Handel’s Messiah. It is a magnificent piece of choral music, a masterful expression of Handel’s love to God. I am actually just stroking the keys, the poor elephants. Oh, I am also wearing a sailor stripey singlet.
It was my 2 year penchant at Miss Sixty that I developed a taste for good jeans, previously I never used to wear them. Now I have over 20 pairs in an array of colours and cuts. Levi Strauss were the original denim makers but nowadays, designers from every corner of the world are including jeans in their collections. No one can get enough of a good cut, good hue and good fit of a pair of good jeans. If you have a good figure, any pair will look good on you, but for women with a bootie, I liked the Miss Sixty jeans because they catered for women with curves. Miss Sixty jeans helped ladies to have a shapely derriere and the jeans did not show any garments underneath when they sat down. Miss Sixty jeans always had big pockets on the back so that the wearer’s bottoms, in contrast, appeared smaller. They are mostly made in Italy, the home of good craftsmanship and the best quality cotton.
How cool is this lady? I love her indigo boyfriend jeans, rips and all. Oh check out her yellow nail polish!
Elegantly distressed denim. I love her cream blazer and the 2 tone platform shoes. Definitely a model, judging by that figure. Her necklace is cute too, is that a reindeer sweater she’s sporting?
This hip lady seems to be wearing a pair of Diesel high-waisted jeans with brass buttons and rolled cuffs. Simply stunning. Love her Louboutins and the simple black singlet.
Here is the gorgeous Jane Aldridge of Sea of Shoes wearing rolled-up jeans made with different panels. This young lady is a genius at mixing up. Her outfits are very unique and reflect her personal eclectic taste. Love her bejeweled sandals, tripe-combo bracelets and the tie-dye Marni tote.
Cute Ksubi denim overalls! Skinny overalls are really flattering on. Oh, do you know the origin of the word ‘denim’? Denim is a cotton twill weave fabric of white and blue threads which originated from the French town of Nimes, hence the origin of the word – serge (twill fabric) de Nimes.
I found this Street Chic picture from Elle.com. I just adore the relaxed and cool style this girl oozes. The ironic thing is that she seems to be carrying a Birkin with her dressed-down outfit. She looks a little like Jenna Elfman.
Tres chic, tres Parisian. This beautiful blonde was shot by The Sartorialist, wearing denim on denim. Although not a look I usually sport or favour, I have to give both thumbs up for this lady. This look has made a comeback in the SS10 shows. I just need to find my old denim shirt from the back of my closet.
Even though I can play the piano and the drums, I cannot ride the bicycle. Many have attempted to teach me, but all have failed. I nearly ran over a friend and ruined another’s bike. Life would be a lot more convenient if you can ride a bike- you can get to places, you can explore European cities in (literally) an effortlessly chic way and you can even be photographed by The Sartorialist!
I have compiled a couple of photos of achingly stylish women who navigate their way around the world on bicycles. Enjoy the ride.
Eva Fontanelli, the Audrey Hepburn-incarnate (in a fashion sense, anyway), wearing a feather hat, Vivienne Westwood for Melissa heels (fabulous colours!) and a shiny patent leather red clutch. These are the public bikes in Paris.
Nearly running over the photographer? This is a perfected polished/grunge look that I adore. Check out the studs on that leather motorcycle vest and the cute denim overalls underneath. Her vintage sunnies make her look a little like the mono-browed Mexican famed female painter Frida Kahlo. I like her chains and rings too.
OK, she’s not actually riding a bike, just using bicycles as a backdrop. You have to admit that Gaelle Drevet’s canvas smock dress with the loud sailing motif is cute. It sure is eye-catching and the relaxing nautical look makes you feel like you are on holidays. I love her patent Givenchy sandals!
What a great summery outfit- chic and comfortable enough to ride in. Miu Miu Bag in the basket and bowed Marc Jacobs strappy sandals to paddle the bike. She is gorgeous. I have the bag version of her shoes. If only I could ride a bike…
Pink suede wedges! Love love love. Not everyone can pull of flowery crop pants. but the black blazer and white T ensemble provide a very nice contrast (and balance) to her lower half. She is well balanced on the bike too. Let’s hope her leather hobo does not get caught in her front wheel.
A yellow bike! How fun! The canary bicycle is part of her outfit. Don’t you love the neckpiece on her halter dress? The red buttons look like Smarties. I am surprised that she can ride with a billowing skirt. Wedges are good to ride with though.
For some reason, even though I am the most photogenic Chihuahua on the planet, I often close my eyes when I am photographed. It may be because my parent’s camera has such a bright flash and my blink reflex is so fast that I am unable to keep my eyes open.
Wearing a sailor singlet, working the demure look.
I managed to keep one eye open!
Complete zen, don’t you think? Or just plain sleepy.
