atteeeeeeeeeeeeeennnnnnnnn-tion!

i'm back. well, sort of. laptop situation took a turn for the worst recently and i still don't have the funds for a new one so sorry for the gaps! word up to spencer martin and a couple of days off work to give me chance to make a kurtcouture comeback.

it hasn't escaped my attention that grunge fashion is big biz these days. great? well yes and no. everywhere i turn it's like a sea of crucifixes and mcqueen inspired skullduggery. it's like fashion took an overdose of kurtcouture! but at the same time it's great to see the high street celebrate grungey vogue, so let us enjoy the moment of glory.

this week i am mostly inspired by the military. ok, so i can't see many members of our armed forces wearing MAC lipstick or barry m nail paint but the theme is still apparent!

i think the fact that war and military operations are such a daily global headache at the moment, it was inevitable that it would influence the vision of fashion this season. simple, comfy designs convey real military clothing but to make the look more feminine add oversized scarves, lots of jewellery, and ballet flats. this is a really easy look to pull off and you really can make it your own. team with combat boots for a tougher look if you wanna go the whole hog. am i getting through to you private?!!

today i am mostly liking...

...bridget fonda. watching england is making me very nervous so a quick post during extra time will hopefully calm me!!

i first noticed fonda in single white female, loved the independent-young-fashion-career-girl look! and the gal sure done hold her own with a screwdriver against a psycho puppy murdering room mate!!

then i saw her in singles and really fell in love. cutest outfits ever and the non existent but so desperately longed for relationship between her and matt dillon makes her even more adorable!

if you haven't seen this already, well, you should watch it. it's grunge, it's love, it's kurtcouture!

oh god italy just scored a disallowed goal! gotta go peeps...

sweetly grunge...

...is today's inspiration. i'm seeing a lot of pink around at the moment, usually a shade which reminds me of paris hilton's chihuahua (NOT a metaphor). but with the right mix of faded glamour and filthy gal the look is perfectly grungified.


jewellery, hair, giant inflatable lips...nothing's safe from a splash of sun-faded pink. ashley olsen has a lot to answer for since she stepped out in 2010 with a straggly pink mop. LOVE! 


i haven't the balls for pink hair, but i've recently purchased a pale pink draped blazer which i've worn with everything from a black halter neck maxi dress to skinny black jeans and a fleetwood mac vest. my fave outfit was worn to the airport - a striped blue and white mini dress, nineties wedges, graphite bayswater and pink blazer. comfy but a far cry from trackie b's and a hoody! well, you can't sit and drink champagne in the departures lounge looking you just rolled out of the gym. it's a really versatile li'l number and has become a staple item in my wardrobe (despite the bad weather recently, booo!) 


here's a few snaps of the jacket anyway, it's from new look an only cost £24.99 and if I remember rightly is available in black and grey also! and a few pics of some pink-spiration to get you in the mood for a romantic summer! rate up my street. 

friend inspo for the day...

...the disgustingly photogenic Helane...

love this picture, perfect for kurcouture. reminds me of an early kate moss, there's nothing like a big whiff of grunge chic in the morning. beautiful lady xxx

i would sacrifice body parts to have been there. david covered by kurt? best unplugged moment EVER...but that's just my opinion...x

tom hardy appreciation club invites you...

to a massive perving sesh. fell in love with this dude when he was in wuthering heights playing wild bastard heathcliff (i'm sure a more conservative character review can be found elsewhere, but this is kurtcouture ya know). then things just got BETTER. a young whippersnapper in band of brothers, bronson (errr, slightly more brutal appearance, but still hot!), itv drama the take, inception, rocknrolla, the warrior...and i think we can all look forward to his portrayal of bane in the next batman movie. i just wee'd a bit.

so i've been a bit down in the dumps lately - cue tiny violin, i know - but when i got home last night i found kate moss sitting on my doorstep. well, it was actually the june issue of vogue but big diff. so i saw a silver lining. and on opening the magazine the first face i saw was hardy's. and the silver lining became platinum!

i realised it had been a while since i'd google image stalked him, so here i am now, at work, listening to voicemail after voicemail and cramming in a little tom casing woop woop!

without sounding like a 14 year old, there are loads of new totes amaze fit pictures on the internet now, get the fuck in! so i thought i'd share them. beauty personified. just need to get rid of that pesky riley gal!

a face like this is too good not to make the kurtcouture cut...but that's just my opinion...x
