Dressing for fashion or for men?

I've been thinking a lot lately about what some chicks wear and why.  I met a guy the other night and he told me about his wife and that she came home from shopping with a maxi dress, which he did not like one bit!  He said it hid her butt and that he like to see women in anything tight and short.

This got me thinking, did I dress for fashion or for men?? 

Well let's look at the facts:

1. I wear a lot of loose clothing - not male freindly
2. I dont mind a high wasited pair of coulottes every now and then - not male friendly
3. I hardly ever wear heels - not male friendly
4. I beleive that wearing a push up bra is false advertising - not male friendly.

Ok there you have it, I dont dress for men.  But I truly believe that a lot of woman do.  I go out to a club or bar and I see a lot of really short, really tight, really wrong outfits (in my opinion) And I wonder if they feel confident in what they are wearing or are they trying to pick out a suitable mate.  Men are very visual creatures after all, but what kind of attention are you aiming for ladies?

But then again I see a lot confident sexy chicks who are wearing pants or a maxi skirt or god forbid a buttoned up shirt and I think they look hot as chips!!!  Its all in the confidence and the attitude, its how they carry themselves that make them sexy....in my opinion.



EXAMPLES:

Dressing for men.....

short and slightly slutty



 Dressing for fashion......

green hair

maxi skirt

lots of layers

very loose (and not in the way men would like want u to be)

Equipment Shirts

Christian Restoin first introduced the classic two pocket silk shirt when his French label, Equipment, was launched in 1979.  From then the label has evolved into a cult classic and I believe every woman needs to have atleast one of these beautiful shirts in their waredrobe.


No Stone has added Equipment to their list of International brands and we'll have our first delivery of these beautiful silk long sleeve and sleeve-less shirts next Monday 18 Jan.

A very English affair




The history of the Cambridge Satchel Company is not a long one, but it’s a great story nonetheless. Read any interview with Julia Deane, its founder, and you’ll hear about Harry Potter, school bullies, and, of course, a nostalgia for the original Oxford and Cambridge satchels - a quintessentially English tale of one woman’s rise to success.


Julia (above) searched the UK to find someone to manufacture the kind of satchel Harry and Hermione would be proud to carry their wands in, hoping to make enough money to send her daughter to a private school. Within a couple of years her Cambridge Satchels were being shipped all over the globe, and, no offence to the pupils of Hogwarts, are now being worn by some far more fashionable people.




The revival of this old English classic received a further update when it was released in fluros and metallics galore. Luckily for us a selection of these newest satchels are now winging their way across the globe to No. Stone. And we just can’t wait to sling ‘em over our shoulders.
