What's with the bandana craze?

These past few months I have noticed a certain item turning up over and over and over again. The bandana. I honestly haven't seen anyone wearing these since I was a kid, and even then I  only really used them to cover our faces whilst playing cowboys and indians with my two siblings.

I haven't noticed many people wearing them but enough to peak my interest. 

People I have spotted with one are as follows:

Harry Styles - Pop star (One Direction) and professional cutie pie

I feel like I could say, with a reasonable amount of confidence, that Harry may be the one behind people wearing bandana's again. He has barely been spotted on stage without one during their Where We Are Tour so far. Honestly I don't blame him. It must be a momentous task to manage all of that hair. My advice? Get a hair cut, it's getting a bit long. But then again i have to say, it does suit him.

Jc Caylen - Youtuber (Our2ndLife)

Jc posted this picture of himself wearing the bandana to his instagram, his caption contain a few details of his day such as getting henna tattoos, tye dyeing shirt and going to the beach.

He also wore on in the video "Getting tattooed on camera", which was a video on the collaboration channel, of which he is a member, called "Our2ndLife", often referred to by its abbreviation "O2L".

The video was from a week where their video theme was where they had to make a video whilst impersonating another member of the channel.

Connor posted this to his face book page and instagram with the caption "Trying out this bandana craze...thought?" My thoughts are that you look great with it. But the again I am totally biased and would probably think Connor looked good even if he would be wearing a bin bag, which, let's be honest, he totally would.

As also a member of the O2L collaboration channel, he also impersonated one of his friends and wore a bandana. Unsurprisingly he was impersonating Jc. I think he did a very good job and that including wishbone, Jc's dog, really added to the overall video.

Shown here with Jc, Kian is also wearing a bandana. Posted to his instagram with the caption "crazy colors" and fangirls gushing over his hair which you may notice on second glance that he has dyed.

Lilly Singh (a.k.a Superwoman) - Youtuber

Normally spotted with a snapback, in one of her latest videos (Types of Annoying Couples - Pt 2), Lilly decided to instead wear a bandana. The video can be found below because it was borderline impossible to pause the video at a point where she wasn't moving and therefore blurred, sorry.

Ashton Irwin - Drummer (5 Seconds of Summer)

The drummer for the Australian band, currently on tour with One Direction, also seems quite fond of this look. Not doubt he got it off Harry of vice versa. Again I can say that it suits him so I have no complaints, I actually think it makes him look better.

Seeing some of my favourite people sporting them I decided to investigate.

The results are as follows:

I find them a bit silly really...I write as I am still wearing one... okay it may be growing on me. They serve a purpose and as someone who is not really a fan of the unnecessary it delights me.

 Yet I can say with some confidence that it is not for me. Personally I think I look like a wannabe cannery pirate, crossed with someone who's wrapped a dishcloth round and put it in their hair...not really a look I go for. 

However during the (hopefully) hot summer months I may cave and venture out wearing one to keep my hair out of my way and face. I am aware there are other things which can do that for me, but who know, maybe one day I may desire to look like a reject from the Pirates of the Caribbean film set.

One Direction Glamour!

The boys are at it again, another magazine cover on top of countless others. Everyone wants an excuse to write about them or take pictures of their pretty faces (myself included). But seeing as this is a fashion blog I must make sure that I write about them from a fashion angle so you can only imagine my delight when I discovered that they were set to do a cover for Glamour magazine this upcoming August!

Oh how I wish that was me....

Magazines know know they have to keep it fashion related, so Glamour simply decided they could get away with it by placing the more than beautiful Victoria's Secret model and actress Rosie Huntington-Whiteley in amongst the boys. I can't exactly complain.

I'd like to be Rosie okay...

I also recall Vogue doing something similar in their 2012 december issue where they placed Edie Campbell in between the fabulous five. Gosh they look stunning and so grown up. Personally I prefer when the more professional magazines get their hands on the boys because they always cast them in a better light. One that doesn't make them look like they're for 10 years olds. And also don't you think they should model because hello!

And did you know that you can get a snek peak at the cover etc. and behind the scenes footage of the shoot can be found in the video here! (Sorry, it's a link to tumblr, couldn't find it on YouTube!)

They're so perfect *sob*

Harry looks so awkward it's actually hilarious

I look forward to July 2nd when the full interview will be available online at Glamour.com or nationwide in the States on July 9th. I will post the pictures of the boys with Rosie the moment they become available!

Anyway, goodbye from me and the boys! (I need to go back to bed, still fell like death you see.)

This Is Us (No, this will kill us.)

Today some very exciting news was announced within the One Direction fandom which was the trailer for their upcoming documentary/movie "This Is Us" which is an in-depth look into the boys lives on the road, their music and their more than loveable antics.
The film follows them as they travel around the world, play out areas and be the fabulous little life ruiners that they are!
As a Directioner myself I can say that I am very proud of how far the boys have come and so quickly as well! And I'd be lying if I wasn't crying a little whilst watching the trail (Don't judge me, so was the entire fanbase...)

The trailer aired on One Direction's Vevo channel on the 25th of June and the film is expected for release in the Uk on the 29th August and on the 30th in the US.
The movie will also be in 3D.
A long with the trailer announcement the band also announced that they will be releasing a new single with the movie titled "Best Song Ever" which a snippet of is also played at the end of the trailer.
 To help show their appreciation for the band and what they have done their fans trended #TheBandThatLostTheXFactorButWonTheWorld number one worldwide.
Many fans also tweeted that "IM LITERALLY IN SHOCK I CAN'T BELIVE THIS AT ALL"
"THE TRAILER MADE ME SUPER EMOTIONAL I LOVE THEM SO MUCH" and many other mentions of how much they love them and are proud.

This boy tho...

So grab your popcorn as Louis has and get ready, the boys are coming to the big screen and I am certainly one who will no be missing this.

Jack and Finn: Twin Style

As many of you may know London's Men's Fashion Week is currently under way and I noticed that YouTubers Jack and Finn Harries (Finn left, Jack Right) have been attending a couple, "Cheeky" as Jack would say, fashion shows including Topman and Burberry which they got front row for!

Damn they look fine... just saying...
Picture: Source 

The boys upload videos to their YouTube channel "Jacksgap" which was started by Jack (right) so that he could help to document his gap year for his friends and family. They film in Jacks bed room and have amassed and astounding two millions subscribers, only two years after the channel was first made.

I think that the boys have a good sense of style and could easily get involved in modelling I mean just look at them, so many words can be used to describe them, funny, gorgeous, handsome to name a few! And to be quite honest who wouldn't want to see more of their fabulous faces?

I'd keep an eye on them as I have a small feeling that they may become more important and I sincerely hope that they get more involved in the fashion scene because it would give me more of a excuse to write about two of my favorite YouTubers.   *Whisper shouts to you "I LOVE THEM!"*

Beau Brooks for Armani

Being a teen girl I am a fangirl. Some of the people I tend to fangirl over are a group of 5, 17-19 year olds know as the Janoskains, (Just Another Name Of Silly Kids In Another Nation Skip). They are Australian YouTubers based in Melbourne. Their videos  are comedy, consisting of various pranks, stunts, skits, mockumentaries. 
Today I would like to bring to your attention a certain member of the group know as Beau Brooks, he is the older sibling of the Brooks twins Luke and Jai and is also the oldest member of the group at 19.

(Posted on his personal twitter 13/5/13, however it was later removed.)

As you can see he is well... beyond attractive. He is mega flipping hot, as in I want to throw myself off a cliff hot. (This picture is also responsible for being emotional unstable this morning when I first saw it.)

I believe that Beau could easily head up a campaign for Armani exactly as Cristiano Ronaldo did when he along side Megan Fox became the face of the company in January 2010.

He clearly has the body for it and would be open to the idea seeing as along with that picture he tweeted in a joking manor that Armani should sign him. This I would have no objection with seeing as I can say that personally I would very much prefer to see Beau on one of those massive billboards you see all over cities such as London and Milan than some other random model.

(God bless who ever made this edit.)

Much can also be said about One Direction's Harry Styles who could more than easily be the face of Armani, and again, no objection. So would I like to see two of my favorite celebrities be the face of one of my favorite fashion houses? 

Yes please, more than anything.

In my opinion Beau Brooks is far hotter than Ronaldo. Nuf said.
