Look at my lady beard...

I don't think i have been so excited about an item of clothing since the arrival of my 'teenage mutant ninja turtle' trainers in the post circa 1987. But how bloody brilliant (and practical) are these BeardHead hats?  

"Grandad"  

"Viking"

 And if you thought bearded life couldn't get any sweeter, a selection of interchangable moustaches are also available for that upper-lip styling...

   

"Walrus", "Fu Manchu", "Mario"

                          

Fantastic for both the pre-pubesent boy with facial hair envy, or the openly gay lesbian with facial hair envy. One of these is definately going on my christmas list.

some stuff that gives me style orgasms!

It seems to be some kind of a pre-requisite for bloggers to upload an obligatory 'inspirations' post from time to time. So not to stray from the pack too much, here is a virtual scrapbook of things that are making me do a little sex wee-wee at the moment; basically a mixture of the colourful and/or wooly and/or plastic.

So here we go, cliche mood board #1!...I hope your eyes likey?

Transport for London has never looked so fly!

It is not often that I condone the act of colour coordination (in fact, the more vomit-inducing the colour combinations of an outfit the better I say), but when the exact shade of your coiffure matches with the exact shade of the handrails of the number 176 bus, then I can only offer my applaud. How delicious is this hair/public transport combo!?

 

Her big headphones and nerd glasses are pretty piss-your-pants cool too!

Hello...

...my name is Holly Reverse. I'm 27 but know that I look like a child. I'm not exactly sure in which shape or form this blog will manifest itself yet; I don't claim to know much about fashion, but I know that I enjoy getting dressed when I wake up. I guess I would like my look to be described with superfluous adjectives such as 'ecclectic', 'quirky' or 'kitsch', but more often than not the words '1980's kids T.V presenter' are applied. I am mostly found wearing patterned socks, colourful shoes, bow ties, pin badges, over sized plastic accessories, ugly eye-wear, nylon tights, and polka dots. I used to think that personal style blogging was for twats, but then realized that I am a vain bastard and actually quite like the attention I get from people staring at my outfits. So here I am in all of my colour clashing glory. If you enjoy my garments then please comment and if you loathe them then please comment also.
Kind Regards.
