I often think that if I were a boy (hello Beyonce), I would be the best dressed one around. Obviously this is easy for me to say being a girl, as I will never actually have the chance to prove this bold statement, but still.
I go through phases of feeling and dressing uber girly and feminine - florals, pastels and the like, and then dressing like a grungey emo boy - black leather, giant faded tees, and doc martens. A couple of months ago in our first DVC (design and visual culture, oh yeah) seminar, we were asked to describe our style. Needless to say we ALL found this very challenging.. and resorted to asking our friends to describe us (much awkward offence of course caused). Still incredibly challenging, due to my split-style-personality for me we decided on "Confused", and then leapt delightedly to - "Postmodern"! Well, we were amused.
I'm definitely feeling some boy-style at the moment though, all I seem to want to dress in is jeans and oversized t-shirts with fun graphics. Maybe its just the christmassy season, makes me feel the need for comfort above all else.
Anyway, I digress. So here is a brand I recently discovered (as I was searching for the make of the "Brain Hat" I spotted on tv), which just makes me happy, Lazy Oaf.
[said brain hat]
Here are some of my fave items:

The great thing about Lazy Oaf is that its pretty much all unisex. I often think that guys can get away with humour and novelty in clothing much easier than girls, but with this stuff, it makes me feel so tickled myself that I wouldn't even care about looking "silly". If there's one thing I've learnt from hanging out with guys, its that us girls often take ourselves too seriously anyway.
I have been dropping shameless hints (/emailing links) to my brother since discovering Lazy Oaf, seeing as its nearly Christmas and all..
So here's to hoping eh!
Alice.
