Hey!

Welcome to The Very Simon G. My blog has been going for nearly a decade, but there ain’t getting away from me just yet! Come in for fashion, fun and everything in between. Enjoy!

******Fashion Faux Pas Winners*******

As you may know I ran a competition a couple of weeks back to win an Urban Outfitters goody bag (one men's and one women's) worth £200. I asked my readers to send either a picture of just a description of their BIGGEST fashion faux pas and I have to say...WOW! You lot have donned some horrors haven't you???

My stylist friend, Stevie B, and I have trawled through them and we have finally chosen the winners. I have contacted them and they have agreed to let me put them up here. Richard has a picture and Claire a description, either way they were hilarious and slightly cringe-worthy!

Thanks to everyone who entered. I was definitely entertained for a good couple of weeks. When my Blackberry buzzed in my pocket I wished for another picture. Nine times out of 10 my wish came true!

J'adore all of ya'll!

Here's Richard. Note the three disastrous prints; shirt, trousers and socks. Gotta love him!



And here's Claire's description. If there is one thing in this world I hate, it is embellished jeans...

'Talking about style faux pas, I used to customize my own clothes. I had jeans that I put zig zag sequins down each leg, cut the bottom of the legs open and inserted flowery, sparkly material to make them into flares. I put sequins around the pockets and children's buttons down the legs, oh yeah, and strange patches of apples and pears here and there, why I've no idea. I only realised how bad they were when people on the street asked if I was trying to be Gary Glitter.
What makes it worse is that this was only a few years ago! I really should have known better!'

Today I'm Loving...
