Every girl should wear high heels and lipstick.

If I could where one designer for the rest of my life it would no doubt be Alannah Hill. Simple as that. I adore her floral and flirty dresses, the ruffles and silk detail that encompass nearly all her items of clothing, her rebellious nature not to compete with trends and her outlandish accessories. She even insists that every girl should wear high heels and lipstick… ahh that is like my mantra! Alannah has always envisioned and created clothes specifically for the glamorous single/wishing to be single sometimes/kinda single working girl with a strong desire to express her feminity. The names of her clothes make me want to buy them even without seeing the item.

Here is a wonderful list of some of the names AH uses to “name” her clothing:

Saw You Loved You, Liar Liar Pants on Fire, I Need You Tonight, Cut to the Chase, Gosh I Miss You, End of the Affair, Shall We Dance, Want to Know a Secret, Nothing But Trouble, The Secret’s Out, He Haunts Me, Am I Dreaming?, Your Lying Eyes, I’m Fed Up, I Turned My Back, Gimme a Chance, Sext texter, Little Petty Dramas, She’s a Stalker, Don’t Say My Name, Pack of Lies, Everyone is Lonely, I’ll Strangle Him, The Happy Ending, Sweet Little Disaster, Untold Damage and You Little Disgrace. *So scary how those names are basically a recap of a very toxic relationship I once had and yes yes she  did indeed have some inspiration for the title of my blog.

The catch with my obsession with this label is I never ever ever pay full price (okay well once I bought a head piece for $50 but that was super reasonable – I just can’t lie!). No I don’t have a special relationship with a beautiful Alannah Hill’s sales consultant either. Every couple of months I hit ClearIt clutching my scared little credit card and bracing myself for damage control. What??? Well Alannah Hill sells all her “old” stock at this warehouse with super discounts. Now the beauty of this label is that it never dates. It has such a distinctness about it that it can be worn for well and truly over a decade and noone would be able to say oh my gawd why is she still wearing that? *There are probably a few hardcore fans like moi who might notice and ponder hey that is AH 2007 collection but that up/down look would still be filled with admiration for the sisterhood.

This is the AH inspired look I will be channeling to the races.
