Beauty and Fashion Blog

The other evening I was watching a tv programme about who women style themselves on.

I personally feel we are all individuals and hate to follow any fashion trends.I am my own person and if people don’t like what I am wearing then that’s their lookout and not mine.I’m not in any hurry to rush down to the shops just so I can buy clothes that so and so is currently wearing.

However, my teenage daughter loves to follow the latest trends and her favourite teen at the moment is Pixie Lott. It really amazes me that Pixie is only 5 years older than my daughter and yet she is a huge pop star.It’s astounding that they are a little girl one moment and then in a blink of the eye they are huge pop stars.

Currently my daughter and her friends are absolutely obsessed with any sort of silver jewellery. Her dressing table is absolutely crammed full of silver necklaces and silver bracelets. Most of it she will never wear, but she buys it just the same because her favourite pop star is wearing it.

So many of these pop stars start their careers singing, but then a few years down the line, they bring out their own fashion ranges and so continue to make money out of our teenagers.

Their management are very clever and I suppose they know that their clients only have a relatively short shelf life, so try to make the very most out of them.

Mind you after I have said all of that, thinking back to my teenage days I got to go and see Adam and The Ants in concert.They were absolutely fantastic in the flesh and for weeks and weeks I asked my mum and dad to let me have a jacket just like the one Adam wore.I cam within a hairs whisker of my dad actually buying me a jacket, but just when I thought I had it, mum came along and put the mockers on it. So perhaps things haven’t actually changed, it’s just that I have grown up!!
