Painful feet and 2. You don't have a man but you want one.</div><div> </div><div>Also getting my coat (sp) is <strong>stretch sateen</strong>, for the unfamiliar, that's a shiny, taught fabric that accentuates every single lump and crevice. Yuk!</div><div> </div><div><strong>Sarah Palin</strong> - the right women for the job. If the job is skinning a moose and shooting an abortion doctor, that is.</div><div> </div><div><strong>Skulls and Crossbones</strong> - Done to death. They need to R.I.P. for a while. Halloween is of course exempt.</div><div> </div><div><strong>Dark Mornings</strong> - They're only good for one thing. Hiding the fact that you've worn one of the above!</div><div> </div><div>On the positive side, there are some stuff, I think it'd be had to live without this week!</div><div> </div><div><strong>Corduroy Trousers</strong> - perfect for the very up-to-th-minute collegiate trend!</div><div> </div><div><strong>Mid Calf Length Cowboy Boots</strong> - <a href="http://196571.spreadshirt.net/en/GB/Shop/Article/Index/article/Shoes-Life---Oversized-T-Shirt-4386342">Shoes Life </a>indeed. Once you slip on these babes, you become a sexy hot cowgirl. Yea hah!</div><div> </div><div><strong>Red</strong> - Totally hot right now, and adorning the celebrity flesh out in Hollywood.</div><div> </div><div><strong>Sequinns</strong> - Ok. Ok. I give in, i've been beaten into submission by those determined little sparklers!</div><div> </div><div><strong>Central Heating</strong> - gives us the option of wearing just one layer of clothing.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/35460797-5485850074300474456?l=queenofsuburbia.blogspot.com'/></div>Queen of Suburbiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08358879314404812145noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35460797.post-40661581482376126142008-09-29T16:42:00.001-07:002008-09-29T17:02:43.814-07:00<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VZFzAF0INxQ/SOFsU118spI/AAAAAAAAAF4/cUuVwS9Wa7o/s1600-h/smarter.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5251597745797247634" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VZFzAF0INxQ/SOFsU118spI/AAAAAAAAAF4/cUuVwS9Wa7o/s320/smarter.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VZFzAF0INxQ/SOFqC3vEKGI/AAAAAAAAAFw/m7T3Tmhfwd8/s1600-h/smarter.JPG"></a><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>I love my monthly fashion read as much as the next girl, but there is nothing quite like the fashion blogs to give you an instant fashion fix.

Keep your eyes peeled for Queen of Suburbia's take on this trend, coming soon!<br /><br /><strong>Bold Black and White Check</strong> - 1950's inspired dresses for spring/summer will have us making our own lemonade, and speaking with a deep Southern drawl.<br /><br /><strong>Cheerleader Chic</strong> - For a naughty sporty look...but leave the pom poms at home.<br /><br /><strong>A Golden Glow</strong> - Out with the pale and in with the bronzer.<br /><br /><strong>Planning '08 Adventures!</strong> - Keep your adrenaline pumping by organising the next big thing!<br /><br /><em>Plenty you can live without too!</em><br /><br /><strong>Purple Suede Accessories</strong> - Give me blue suede shoes anyday, but the purple i can leave!<br /><br /><strong>Paris Hilton Producing Movies</strong> - As in "The Hottie and the Nottie". Her acting career never really took off, so this pushing the boat out a tad.<br /><br /><strong>Leather Skirts</strong> - I don't care whether they are fitted or loose, they're just wrong on so many different leathery levels.<br /><br /><strong>Fringes</strong> - Time to start growing them out girls...fashion turnaround is fair play.<br /><br /><strong>Resting On Your Laurels</strong> - There is no rest for the wicked, so get wicked any which way you can!!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/35460797-2241964920725579179?l=queenofsuburbia.blogspot.com'/></div>Queen of Suburbiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08358879314404812145noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35460797.post-65385260918459654752008-01-23T16:42:00.000-08:002008-01-23T17:21:03.351-08:00I've decided to combine two of the items I think you can live without for my title today...is it just me or does it sound like an Indy band?<br /><br />What can you live without this week?<br /><br /><strong>Wrestling Boots</strong> - As a fashion statement for us ladies...they should get the Smackdown before this look even takes off.<br /><br /><strong>Britney's Airtime</strong> - Considering how little she does to entertain in a positive way - she and her dire situation is still being rammed down our throats.<br /><br /><strong>Bracelet Bags</strong> - Great idea in principle, lousy in reality. These appendages attached to bangles, look cheap.<br /><br /><strong>Electric Blue Spandex</strong> - Seriously, these don't look good on anyone. Not even Kate Moss could work this look.<br /><br /><strong>Charlize Theron</strong> - Talented, beautiful, humble and my husband adores her. I'd love to hate her, but I can't!<br /><br /><em>And the things you can't live without.</em><br /><br /><strong>Royal Blue Eyeliner</strong> - Go. Get. Some.<br /><br /><strong>Flesh Coloured Shoes</strong> - Especially heeled ones. Anything that makes your legs look longer is ok by me!<br /><br /><strong>Abstract Print</strong> - Anything you look at and don't understand on a garment is cool, simple really.<br /><br /><strong>Sundance Film Festival</strong> - Gives credit to some real little movie diamonds.<br /><br /><strong>Heath Ledger</strong> - Found dead only 28 years young. This talented actor will be sadly missed and our hearts go out to his two year old daughter.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/35460797-6538526091845965475?l=queenofsuburbia.blogspot.com'/></div>Queen of Suburbiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08358879314404812145noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35460797.post-11718838462152206952008-01-14T15:00:00.000-08:002008-01-14T15:31:22.299-08:00Firstly i'd like to say sorry that we're already on the 14th Jan and this is my first post of the year! It was an incredibly busy Christmas and New Year period here at <a href="http://www.queenofsuburbia.com/">Queen of Suburbia Fashion</a> and 2008 has just been more of the same! That said, i've got some things you can't live with and some things you can't live without, all tee'd up and ready to go!<br /><br /><em>You can't live with......</em><br /><br /><br /><br /><strong>Toga Dresses!</strong> - Looking like you've just wrapped yourself up in the bed sheets is a bad way to start 2008 or any other year for that matter (except maybe 100 B.C - everyone did it then.)<br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_VZFzAF0INxQ/R4vuXtVQYAI/AAAAAAAAADk/XI6Umd_f0h4/s1600-h/zanessa.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5155476289528815618" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_VZFzAF0INxQ/R4vuXtVQYAI/AAAAAAAAADk/XI6Umd_f0h4/s200/zanessa.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><strong>Zanessa</strong> - The Effron /Hudgens alliance has everyone asking "will it last?" THEY ARE KIDS FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE - let them lose the acne before we have them married off!<br /><br /><br /><br /><strong>False Eyelashes</strong> - It seems the mega super lash builder mascara's that turns your lashes into the density of a small oak tree are no longer enough...now we are supposed spend 20minutes fiddling with falsies before the school run? I'll pass if its all the same to you.<br /><br /><br /><br /><strong>Red</strong> - Can I please remind everyone that Christmas is over. Thankyou.<br /><br /><br /><br /><strong>More Than One Fitness DVD</strong> - Save the money, or better yet, spend it on shoes!<br /><br /><br /><br /><em>As for the things you can't live without....</em><br /><br /><strong>Slogans, Logos, and Printed Tee's</strong> - Yes the casual favourite is back in 2008, but remember, the Queen still rules!<br /><br /><strong>Golden Globe Awards</strong> - All but cancelled due to the writers strike, it doesn't help the celebs clamour for glamour does it?<br /><br /><strong>Emerald Green</strong> - For a fresh new start, sport this vivid shade and make onlookers green with envy!<br /><br /><strong>Dainty Jewellery</strong> - Out with the chunky appendages, (i mean, who really wants to look like they are on day release) and in with the kind of gold, flisy girlie pieces that a man would buy you as a gift.<br /><br /><strong>A Fashion Spring Clean</strong> - Anything not worn this century should be donated to the needy.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/35460797-1171883846215220695?l=queenofsuburbia.blogspot.com'/></div>Queen of Suburbiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08358879314404812145noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35460797.post-13807229279879750312007-12-10T16:00:00.000-08:002007-12-10T16:27:08.227-08:00<div>As promised we've got a new format for the Queen of Suburbia blog. Rather than posting weekly, we've decided to blog on a daily basis.</div><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5142501210035961794" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VZFzAF0INxQ/R13Vmrk1v8I/AAAAAAAAADU/fiPJoI6D_Bc/s200/sophie.jpg" border="0" />We've decided to start with Miss Sophie Anderton as one of the things you can live without. Tales of prostitution and drugs complete her fall from grace. This is an ego-maniac who needs to sort herself out.</p><p>On the positive side, with Christmas just around the corner, you can't live without a little bit of embellishment on your dress. December is just about the only month you can get away with it, so embellish away! Pictured below is Kiera Knightly who accessorised her aubergine Vera Wang gown with a vintage 1960s Bulgari necklace. The rest of us mere mortals in suburbia may have to make do with Topshop accessorised with accessorise though!!</p><br /><p></p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5142504611650060242" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VZFzAF0INxQ/R13Ysrk1v9I/AAAAAAAAADc/FoPtEDnv27U/s200/keira.jpg" border="0" />Lots of Love Danni.<br /><p><br /></p><br /><div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/35460797-1380722927987975031?l=queenofsuburbia.blogspot.com'/></div>Queen of Suburbiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08358879314404812145noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35460797.post-61893542583930957652007-11-27T16:03:00.000-08:002007-11-27T16:16:55.164-08:00Another week goes by and here I am again poised with yet another fashion blog around those things you can and things you can't live without.<br /><br />Starting with the things you can't live without.<br /><br /><strong>New Face Of Versace</strong> - Mr Patrick Dempsey...a classy choice one thinks.<br /><br /><strong>Cream</strong> - The colour, not that delicious and naughty treat that gets us salivating. Wear it as evening wear...the colour not the treat.<br /><br /><strong>Berets</strong> - Big knitted ones that will keep your noggin snugly and give you that extra fashionable edge.<br /><br /><strong>T-Bar Shoes</strong> - Any colour goes this season and are multifunctional as day wear with jeans and your <a href="http://www.queenofsuburbia.com/">queen of suburbia t-shirt</a> or as evening wear with a special dress.<br /><br /><strong>Lots of Christmas Invites</strong> - To parties and functions make it more festive.<br /><br />Sadly there are plenty of things you can live without!<br /><br /><strong>Spice Girl Hoax</strong> - Now it wasn't very nice to re-arrange their tour schedule without their knowledge now was it?<br /><br /><strong>Celebs Visiting Chopville</strong> - If the continue hacking of their tresses at the rate they are, there will be no more long haired starlets left!<br /><br /><strong>Bandage Dresses</strong> - Look painful, and do you really want to see butt cheeks wrestling each other for space?<br /><br /><strong>Sequined Wedge Heels</strong> - Belong on Broadway, not down your local.<br /><br /><strong>Unnecessary Spending</strong> - Donate it to the unfortunate this season rather than overspending for the sake of it.<br /><br />At the end of this weeks blog, I have a small announcement, as well as a new look for the Queen of Suburbia blog, we are going to be taking on a new format very shortly. Instead of a weekly blog, we'll be going daily. Get 'em peeled for more details<br /><br />Have a great week.<br /><br />Danni.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/35460797-6189354258393095765?l=queenofsuburbia.blogspot.com'/></div>Queen of Suburbiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08358879314404812145noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35460797.post-42442702972045085262007-11-22T16:32:00.000-08:002007-11-22T17:01:34.062-08:00Welcome to your Steve Mclaren free update on the things you can and the things you can't live without from <a href="http://www.queenofsuburbia.com/">Queen of Suburbia</a>.<br /><br /><em>Things You can't Live Without.</em><br /><br /><strong>Mega Minis</strong> - These dresses just keep getting shorter and shorter, team them with black tights or leggings to maintain your dignity.<br /><br /><strong>Enchanted</strong> - Magical, Whimsical comical movie coming our way soon, and for all you fashionistas out there, check out the elaborate wardrobe!<br /><br /><strong>Oversized Gems</strong> - Jewellry is boardering on the austentatious right now, with a hint of vintage antique.<br /><br /><strong>Mustard</strong> - The colour not the relish! Works on accessories and garments alike.<br /><br /><strong>Organisational Skills</strong> - Trying to negotiate Christmas family politics starts now!<br /><br /><em>Things You Can't Live With!</em><br /><br /><strong>Pre Christmas Layoffs</strong> - Those Saturday Night Live employyees will need some goodwill around the festive season this year.<br /><br /><strong>Patent Leather Jackets</strong> - Who wants to wear something they have to polish on a regular basis? (this excludes shoes).<br /><br /><strong>Suede Footwear</strong> - Severly impractical for such a wet and drizzly season. Feet seem like a good place for Patent Leather though...<br /><br /><strong>Goth Nails</strong> - Already dated with Emo overkill. Rebel by wearing pastel shades!<br /><br /><strong>Chistmas Politics</strong> - You can't keep everyone happy - don't try too hard!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/35460797-4244270297204508526?l=queenofsuburbia.blogspot.com'/></div>Queen of Suburbiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08358879314404812145noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35460797.post-88190790266314854092007-11-07T15:02:00.000-08:002007-11-07T16:17:08.553-08:00Has it been a week already? Where does the time go to?<br /><br /><em>Things you can't live without.</em><br /><br /><strong>Wide Legged Jeans</strong> - But only dark ones - the carpenter look went out with...The Carpenters!<br /><br /><strong>Bronzer</strong> - As pasty winter skin ensues, there's widom in getting these little pearls.<br /><br /><strong>High Collar Jackets</strong> - Not only stylish but they'll proect your delicate lady neck from the elements too!<br /><br /><strong>An Image Overhaul</strong> - Will give you a rush of endorphins and make you centre of attention at this dreary time of year!<br /><br /><strong>Tear Jerkers</strong> - There's nothing like a good sob on the sofa to make you feel alive.<br /><br /><em>The Things You Can Live Wihout.</em><br /><br /><strong>A Public Meltdown</strong> - Poor Heather Mills will get no sympathy from the press - they'll just milk her misery.<br /><br /><strong>Too Much Bronzer</strong> - Will make you look like an 'oompa loompa!<br /><br /><strong>Women in Bowties</strong> - Are acceptable if you're a magicians assistant or work in the catering industry. Not a good idea as a fashion statement. Unless of course yo set out to make that statement be "I like to look silly".<br /><br /><strong>Bold Tweed Skirts</strong> - Adds pounds due to the expanse of pattern on your lower body.<br /><br /><strong>Christmas Day Pressure</strong> - For one day that's several weeks away, it sure does get a lot of thought time!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/35460797-8819079026631485409?l=queenofsuburbia.blogspot.com'/></div>Queen of Suburbiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08358879314404812145noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35460797.post-31584437334525749902007-10-30T16:57:00.000-07:002007-10-30T17:34:28.332-07:00<div>Happy Halloween Everybody! As befitting this time of the year, I'm starting today with those fashion horrors that we can live without!</div><div></div><br /><div><strong>Fuchsia Eye Make-up</strong> - Gives you the appearance of someone fresh from a smack in the socket.</div><div></div><br /><div><strong>A Mum Like Britney</strong> - Those poor little boys will have very weird childhood memories of their mother. Her irresponsibility is a very scary thing.</div><div></div><br /><div><strong>Exclusion</strong> - I'm not talking about kids and school. I'm talking mums in the playground.

This also applies to anything batwinged.<br /><br /><strong>Ballroom Dancing Footwear</strong> - Fine for fancy dress and perfect for ballroom dancing...not chic for anything else.<br /><br /><strong>Rainbow Striped Garments</strong> - Wrong season for this 70's summer vibe, screams faux pas!<br /><br /><strong>Mens Fur Collared Suits</strong> - As seen on Kevin Federline, makes bile rise in my throat!<br /><br /><em>Onto the things you can't live without.</em><br /><br /><strong>Chunky Fringes</strong> - As in Miss Moss's new 'do. I'm predicting this to be the new Pob. And no I don't mean the spitting puppet. Lets leave Pete Docherty out of this shall we?!<br /><br /><strong>Glass or Mirrored Accessories</strong> - For a touch of bygone era class. Plus you an check out your new chunky fringe in them!<br /><br /><strong>V Neck Lightweight Knits</strong> - Come in many colours, sizes and prices. Theres one out there that's perfect for you.<br /><br /><strong>Half Term</strong> - A lovely lazy week with the kids and loads of cuddles.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/35460797-7382269818821130224?l=queenofsuburbia.blogspot.com'/></div>Queen of Suburbiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08358879314404812145noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35460797.post-25447172866706378492007-10-02T16:46:00.000-07:002007-10-02T17:08:58.838-07:00<div>It's been an exciting week here at Queen of Suburbia, some stuff we're working on (that I can't tell you about just yet) is really going to take us to the next level.
