What do ya say, should The King of the shoulder pads make a comeback? I think so.

Bring it on Mr. Montana!

Fashion Term of the Day: Double Breasted

 Ever come across fashion related terms and not know what they mean?

Thanks to my inquisitive nature I always run to the dictionary, but some people just don't have the patience for all that.

So I am here to help, Ferocious Fanny to the rescue! I will be bringing you words and phrases that are used to describe different articles of clothing.

Today's term is Double Breasted.
Double Breasted is used to describe a style of Coat or Suit Jacket, even Blazers and Cardigans with two parallel rows of buttons on the front. It originated from jackets worn by Navy sailors in the early 1900's.





Throughout the 20th century, specifically 1930's to 1950's double breasted suit jackets were a staple in every man's wardrobe. Eventually women joined the bandwagon as well. Decades later from the 1980's to 1990's a double breasted revival was born.

This militant influenced outerwear isn't as popular as before, however it still remains a classic. Let's just say things have gotten way more casual over the years.

Next time you are out shopping and the tag says Double Breasted that's exactly what it means. We learn something new everyday don't we?

Prince Charles Supports Vintage?




Well what do we have here? Prince Charles seems to love Vintage clothing as much as we do woohoo!

In the September issue of British Vogue, he discusses his affinity for re-using old clothing and the importance of preserving our dear planet through fashion.





"Vintage clothes and upcycling are just the start because they save scarce resources and avoid waste. The great strength of the fashion world is that it knows how to make new ideas attractive and to do so rapidly and on a grand scale—something that is essential if collective action is to have a genuine impact on the problems we face. Fashion clearly makes people feel good, but now it has to do the world good, too, by contributing to the creation of a virtuous circle, with nature protected at the center."

Prince Charles, Princess Keisha Omilana.....seems like royalty all over the world appreciate Vintage goodness!

She (The Chatty Kathy) mumbles sumthin bout a "GOLD LEAF FACIAL"..WELL daaahhlings, my SpaJunkie ears perked RIGHT UP!!!...Here's the lowdown on this FABULICIOUS treatment...


The face is covered in a sheet of 24 carat gold, in the hopes that it will absorb some of the precious metal’s properties.

Japanese firm Umo, who created the treatment, claims that by laying gold leaf onto the face, consumers can benefit from natural skin rejuvenation, firmer skin and a reduction in wrinkles.The shining gold face mask also provides a bright complexion, according to the company.

Well,I'll be damned..All these years I've been headin over to Mario Badescu to get my facials on and I coulda been meltin down Doorknockers and slatherin em on?!?Okayyyyy!!!Maybe that is a WEE bit ghetto of me?!?!
