oh yes, those sandlas are the stupidest looking things ive ever seen. i will NEVER buy something like that and if i do, you may shoot/commit me immediately.
think 'fashion forward' and 'bang on trend' are just fashion world language. and rocking the blah look too prob. they are the current 'hip' and 'cool' both of which are neither any more [who gives??]
at living in shoreditch. are you an artist or fashion designer? (i grew up in those parts. no-one lived there when i was a kid is all tres uber trendy now)
