Oversized 'n' long

No Debutante Loves Oversized Long Shirts, especially Lazy Oaf's versions. These shirts are the perfect size and length and the exact same cut as the oversize shirts from the 1980s that my mum wore (although I wouldnt wear mine slightly unbutton with the collar up!) The bright colours and bold graphics make these oversize long beauties stand out and look sharp! Wear yours over leggings or jeans 80s style of undone as a jacket or as a dress with tights and shorts. Whatever you do, wear it done up to the neck and worn baggy and long. I have since bought another oversized long Lazy oaf shirt (a bargain ebay auction win) so expect another oversized shirt post very soon. Here's a few ways I have worn mine.




Worn with tights in the colder months 



Button all the way up


(Below) Worn with Sliders and socks a big trend for women and men this season

Crops 'n' Shorts

I am dreaming of the summer, I embraced the winter in New York, the first time I think I have ever embraced the winter but I've had enough of it, so let's go from one extreme to the other and take a look at one of my summer favourites, Crop Tops and Shorts. Now, I wear cut off shorts all year round, layered up with tights or leggings and oversize tees during the winter but there is nothing more liberating than wearing shorts with no tights on a hot summers day after many months of hibernating your legs! At the moment in England dressing this way in crop tops and shorts seems insane and a life time away, alas my love affair with winter is over.....I miss you summer, come back!!

ND in NYC

At the beginning of February I went to New York with my husband Phil to celebrate his 40th Birthday (so we are both 40 this year, how did this happen?) we stayed at NobleDen on Grand Street in between Little Italy and China Town. A cool and modern place to stay Downtown with a view of the Empire state building from our window. A perfect base for our first ever visit to New York and highly recommended.



Places visited
Staten island / Statue of Liberty
Highline
MOMA
Time Square
Ace Hotel 
Otto's Shrunken Head
911 Memorial and Museum
Central Park
Central park Zoo
Brooklyn Bridge
Brooklyn Banks
Ellen's Stardust Diner
5th Avenue 
East Village

Shops
Y3
Urban Outfitters
Shut Skateboards
Labor Skateshop
Opening Ceremony
Wesc
Stussy
Sanrio
Uniqlo 
Toy Tokyo

A random and personal itinerary of places visited, all unique to our favourite things including fashion, kawaii, skate, art, toys, brilliant eateries including traditional American diners, Thai, Mexican and Italian restaurants, modern hipster cafes and bars, a Tiki cocktail bar playing all of our favourite music, plus many of New York's famous landmarks.

Fashion-wise, New York is freezing in February so lots of warm clothes and layering are essential. My life savers were my Topshop faux fur hunters hat and coat, polo necks, oversized jumpers and fleece lined tights! I enjoyed extreme layering and pretty much got it right despite the freezing temperatures, I was warm, comfortable and looked good. I was glad I could dress up in my usual city style mash up, most holidays I go on are either in family orientated hot Mediterranean or English seaside towns, where my style is usually met with confusion!


New York, I love you! I could honestly live in New York, we met some lovely people and characters and I will definitely be back. Miss you already xx










































We met this lovely lady Lindsay Lowe in Otto's Shrunken Head on our last night in NYC, Lindsay designs brilliant vintage rockabilly style catseye sunnies and glasses, influenced by cartoons and Horror films, these glasses have SFX and glow under UV lights!!  Lindsay kindly gave me a bright yellow leopard print pair of her sunnies and tried to take us to a Vice Magazine party (oh my gosh, we would have loved to have gone but we had to pack!!!) Thanks so much for the sunnies Lindsay. Check Lindsay Lowe eyewear out today! lindsayloweeyewear.com
