First entry, yeah.

In this LJ, I'll be posting my personal take on fashion amoungst teenagers at the moment. And life in general.
Note: Personal. You might dress in orange vinyl and tube socks, but it doesn't mean I do. And life might be great for you, but it may suck for me =]

Taliban Scarves
Everyone seems to have a fetish with striped and patterened fringed scarves. Whether you call them "Taliban scarfs" or "dishtowels", it appears that they're all the rage with London's youth. Less so out London, though. And with terrorists. Great image for our society, eh?
In Camden town you can buy them for £5 at the lowest, £10 at most. Pout a bit, flash that secretive smile, bite your lip, and you might bag one for only £3 that is if you're lucky.
I bought a plum and black one at a market stall in Sussex. Black and white is the most popular colour, but really anything muted looks great. Wear it wrapped around your neck, obscuring as much of your face as possible. If you do it with skill, you might find yourself being forbidden from the public transport system. Remember, look shady.
Oddly enough I was not able to find a photo of said Taliban Scarf. They're especially popular with the scene-kids, so I was expecting at least one to have a posey little photo somewhere. But no. Expect a photo of mine in a later post.

Crocs a.k.a. DisgustingPeicesOfPlastic
You either hate 'em or love 'em. I happen to hate them with a driving and dedicated passion. But, that's just me =]
These obscenely bright plastic creations are like clogs. But with holes in. Therefore they are useless in the garden or farm or any other place in which clogs belong. So to be honest, they're completely and utterly useless.
Here's the link to the official website to the official website if you want some. Which I sincerely hope you don't. You can also but them at various shoe stores. I saw some in Office in Brent Cross very recently. Get them before they become unfashionable - oh wait - they already are.




Above: Crocs in all their flourescent glory.

I went on the official Crocs website. I don't know why. I think I might be developing a sort of disturbed fascination with them. Can't...look...away....
I quote from the website: "You should get them because they won't fall off your boat!"  What is that supposed to mean? Is it a joke? A pun? NO IDEA. If anyone knows please tell me. Actually, don't. I'd rather not know.

Flared Trousers
Whatever you hear, they're not coming back. Skinnies rule almighty.
