Hail to the revival of the naughty bikie gang!. I'm smacking my lips about, the oh so trendy, and cute mid length bikie zipper jackets. I absolutely adore the black and tan versions. Although white is an option, unless you lean on nothing, and touch nothing, then go for it.
The sexy look is teaming the office pencil dress with the naughty bikie jacket and bring on the bling!, arms, fingers, neck, I'm saying pile it on to give yourself that naughty but nice ensemble.
As for footing. Any pump or peep toe heel will be suffice! but don't scream, 'look at my feet'. The attention must remain with the little naughty jacket.
Steer clear from teaming up the bikie jacket with tights, if you have east and west happening down there.

TAN - ORAMA
Ladies and gentlemen, may I please have your attention. A fashion crime has been committed, and unless we unify to rectify the problem, then we will all look like a sea of oompaloompas....!
I'm addressing the 'tanning culprits'. Please, please, please!, since when did it ever become acceptable to 'over tan?'.
As I enter the sunny side of our world, I am greeted with a flooding combination of all shades of 'tans'. From crispy bacon shades, to melon balls, and orange peels, and don't forget the broken up forms of shades.....
' Tan in moderation'... meaning, don't over do it......... tanning is not like accesories, where you can overload and unload. If anything, peel back the layer darlings... and allow your own 'naturaaaaaal' colour to expose.
The ugliest sight before my eyes, a lass clad in a red uniform type garment ( pencil ensemble), and peeps of 'over embellished tanning'!!!, she looked like a walking hot dog.
If you must tan, then at least ask a fashionista for an opinion, or to at least tell you when to stop and look at yourself.

FASHION TONGUE
Hands up to all those who have learnt the complicated language of the fashion tongue. I applaud you if you have already educated your literacy in fashion. Not everyone is blessed with the knowledge and talent of grasping the fashion language that oh so often gets tossed around fashion arena's, back stage and front.
Definately not out of the ordinary to see the fashion language be spoken in the form of so called 'body language'. Seated in my front row usual, my eyes would be be speaking the fashion tongue in top speed!.
Not long ago whilst attending a so called fashion extravaganza , which I'm sure the hosts thought to be 'la chic' , but to me was 'la bor - bor - boring'. My eyes were cast in every this that way direction in critical discretion...........need I say more that moi, Madam Alexandra E. was not impressed, not even when Model X, entered the arena, clad in the most wantable and loveable gladiator style wrap me up and love me heels.
Cross legged, and arms imitating the same, my body spoke a thousand thoughts of fashion tongue.
So fashion lovers, sometimes, you don't need to utter a single pip squeek of a sound to voice your fashion opinion, actions speaks louder than words, and yet can't be held against you, because it's all an illusion based on assumption........

SIGHT SEEING
SIGHT SEEING:
My fashionista eyes saw a plethora of fashion no no's. Whilst out in my style heels, chinking the champers with fellow fashionites, I was working overtime, analysing, and absorbing the sea of mini cocktail garments teamed with opaque black tights and heels of all sights.
Agreeable that the tight and heel thing is completely accepted and in during this era, in this moment of fashion time. But overload and overbearing was the exact words on my mind on this frightful tights night!
Be fashion independent is what I am declaring and bestowing my fashion wisdom on all the fashion lovers. Although it is good to blend amongst the fashion crowd, don't blend to the point where you become boring.
Open up your fashion minds, and be creative. Ignore the cold weathers and daringly step out without the tights for a change. Especially when the do, is a fashion must for all diva's.

FASHION FLY
Up, up, up and away!. I just couldn't get a wink of fashion lover sleep last night, as I lay in my queenly bed thrilled with the thought that the next big Winter / fall must have in every fashion lover's wardrobe will be the 'cape'. If the fashion houses are too late on providing this staple piece to their fashion followers, then take heed to my fashion tongue, bring out your cape creation for next cold climate.
Yes, yes capes may have already flown high in the fashion arena, but I can see it's revival in a big way!. My fashion prediction tells me shores such as the land of Oz, have yet to embrace the cape phenomenon.
My eye for fashion, can see capes with wonderfully odd embellished clasps and chains. Statement capes is the new furore.
Oh what a wonderful sight this will be! so bold and frivolous, teamed with your staple pant and heels............fly away my dears, fly fashion forward!.

LACQUER MY LIPS AND PAINT ME FREE
Safe to say that Mr N.P has landed and is staying!. Home to the land of Oz and the land of the day of thanks giving, this palettable fashion colour mogul has opened the eyes of many fashion lovers.Like placing the cherry on top of a finished pie. Mr N.P and his oh so colour palettes have created finishing looks for he and she fashion lovers world over.
Bold, and rare is Mr N.Ps choice of intelligence in colours. Unlocking the hidden desires to play with colours, every fashionista dared to swipe on the hint of pink, purple, green and blue and all colours of the rainbow, just because Mr N.P says so.
Extending his foot offshores, is the greatest leap Mr N.P has taken, clever PR in his department I would say, but more so the talent is too obvious to say that it was just a marketing machine at play.
I must confess, amongst my bag of choice, somewhere deep within the ruins of phones, keys, and all things ladylike, I find my trusty mosaic blush for the day and pat, pat, pat away.
It appears to be completely in fashion to know of the Napoleon name. A fashion trend still climbing to the top.

TEENY, MINI, MINEY, MO.
Sipping champers, twinking teas and nibbling on pumpkin pie, out of the corner of my eye, clad in a leather mini and midriff top was school girl like fashion no no.She has compelled me to address the issue about tweens who dress beyond their age, if anything, dressing in noone's age. Call the fashion police and their mom's/ mum's please.
Who on earth would allow their mini me's to venture the streets clad in cheap and nasty attire?, most likely the folks are not aware or just don't care.
Fashion is a statment yes!, but not when you declare it in bad taste. I understand these young things want to be individual and create a moment in time of their own taste. But please honey, you're asking to be classified in the department of give me $5 for a shake, if you don't shake your nasty fashion habit.
It completely confuses my fashion palette to comprehend why on earth these tweens bend to this low, when the magazines circling their inner circle surely are not displaying the little handkerchief skirt and teatowel top?.
On this day, I am stern, and serious, because Madam Alexandra E. would never approve of young fashion lovers baring next to nothing and think they have just created fashion, more like just creating a sight for sore eyes.
Thankfully, there is still high hopes for these bad taste fashion lover tweens, as the mind ages, the fashion taste does also, just hoping in good taste.

P.S. For the mature fashion lovers? Please don't bother wearing mini's once you've peaked 35? . Let me put it politely, pushing a pram dressed in a mini and midriff screams, 'cheap and nasty mom/mum alert'. Unless you're supermodel gened then honey save them for another generation.
SIGHT SEEING: MTV MOVIE AWARDS 2009
Such events are not in the calibre of Madam Alexandra E, but fashion must not be overlooked by the event, after all fashion screams from all corners of the globe.
My fashion tongue is for all to hear or endure.
Miss Lauren Conrad from The Hills - picture moulin rouge type can can show, bodice top with rouging mini bottom. Colour - typical black and red patterned
Hair - long mane, bed head, tossed and tousseled.
This Hills chick and former hills chick needs to stop making herself look like the 'I can look hot and sexy look'. This is my pet hate : failing to dress to impress. It just looks so obvious darling that you've tried and failed.
Some fashion lovers need to learn that they are given a certain look from the big man above, and therefore need to just work with it. Although some can pull off the 'think outside the square' and give me a 'wow' look, some just don't have that fashion flexibility.
Work with what you're given darling. You look so much more fashion worthy in 2008 at the infamous awards do.
The look this year did you no justice dear, unless it was a 'publicity stunt', a last ditch attempt to create a wow factor in case you won't be attending next year, due to your winding up from The Hills.
My lips are sealed.

Cheng and Choo
How fashion creative is this fashion house?. Vivien Cheng infamously revives arm candy accessories.
Vintage is what I call it, never refer to it as second hand, it makes you sound and look cheap. Vintage glamour in its own right.
Exciting and new concept, something almost too good to be discovered and shared.
To have possession of a Vivien Cheng creations, you would be stamped with a tick of approval for an eye for rare and unique fashion standouts, but not exactly glamourous or stunning. Wouldn't take months to acquire, like that of the 'power fashion houses', instead a click and skip to the http://www.viviencheng.com/ station and you should be swinging one home.
Although not exactly high end in the market of brands, Vivien Cheng and her vintage little things sit somewhere amongst my trove of things
I personally prefer the Choo's and the Chloe's, but am entitled to be flexible in my fashion taste.

Chk Chk Cheap
Too many five minutes of fame 'lass's' wandering the streets. Pleeeeeeeaaaaase, 'chk chk boom?', who would have thought 't'shirts' are replicated with this?. In the famous slang of Madam Alexandra E. I declare - "Chk Chk Cheap!"
Although she looks rather tv worthy, not leaning towards the ugly department of things. She at least gives some form of fashion credit to the other aspiring bogans. I think if anything, she is the cream of the crop if you pick her from the Bogan Bunch.
Maybe there is fashion hope for the Bogan community after all. If so called Chk Chk Boom chick is a bogan eye candy, then she might give some fashion lift to her fellow 'boganites'.
Smart girl for weaving the camera in her direction, I guess everyone has a dream... the big man up in the sky thought she's done her stint and now deserves her well granted wish.
Upon five minutes of fame, Miss Chk Chk Boom might say "Ching Ching K'ching $$"

SPOTTED
Sight Seeing : Well dressed man.
A breath of fresh air swept in my direction, as a known 'he specie', entered the gates of social soiree on the weekend, all stylised by a mystery unknown.
Generally clad in ill fitting, loose hanging garments, 'he specie' was whipped up into a clean, modern average beast.
No longer was he draped in gear resembling blankets, but instead, a vision of tight fitting, tailored to match fashion staples.
'He specie' is rather small in stature, small in width and well, just small.
Pity his personality didn't receive a tailored makeover.

Ga Ga Goo
Ga Ga Goo!, Goochi Goochi Ga Ga. If I'm not mistaken the infamous Lady Ga Ga, may have just created her own baby Ga Ga language. Oops, I should stop giving her ideas to start her own baby fashion line of 'bub' leotards.
Smart cookie the Ga Ga, she has reinvented, rearthed and re - dug the "weird, skimpy and space cadet look'!.
Ga Ga says her fashion is 'art', Madam Alexandra E. calls it " antics", not too fashionable for my liking.
Heeled high on my fashion throne, I shall pronounce the Ga Ga as a smart little cookie, who has diverted a majority of her famous ability from vocal to fashion " if we must call it that".
I personally call it 'smart marketing' if all else should fail she at least has something of a fashion 'thing' to fall back on. We might all be so lucky to stick around and watch her reinvent the 'g-strong', 'thong', 'dental floss', 'wedge'.
Thumbs up though, to Ga Ga, who has managed to pull of a fashion image which only other 'stardom' individuals could possibly pull off. It looks like Hollywood has gone Ga Ga.
