Putting On The Glitz - Dolly December 1989

A really vibrant and eclectic spread from this December 1989 issue of Dolly - on the cusp of the 90's.  I love the glamour of a spot of sequin in an outfit (and I'm not talking the tacky kind) and my particular favourites are the gold sequin skirt and black sequin top by Morrissey and Edmiston (back when they were a fashion duo before they had gone their separate ways).  I read a lot of issues of Dolly during the early 90's and remember Dinosaur Designs jewellery featuring heavily in their pages, although they were faar too expensive for me of course!  They're still going and they're kinda still too expensive for me unfortunately as I do love their stuff.

A Short Sequins - Dolly November 1985

I don't always like the Fashion Workshop features that Dolly did - but this one is pretty cool.  The styling in this one reminds me of the Take a Walk (... on the wild side) looks in terms of the make-up and slightly rock-edge it takes.  I am adoring the lurex socks in the last image together with the Madonna style crucifix dangling from the ear.  Photography in this is by Andrew Southam and hair and  make up by Aaren - who did the styling in this Scrambled fashion spread.  I like the style of whoever this Aaren person is!  Oh and I must mention the heart shaped sunglasses are from Granny May's.  I am still so upset to this day that the stores are no longer - I adored the stationary and cool stickers from that store *sob*.

This issue I definitely remember having at the time - featuring the all time fave covergirls!  Within the magazine, it was interesting to read of Sarah Nursey having spent three years living in an Israeli Kibbutz after finishing school!

I chose this fashion spread because I really love the heavy focus on lurex and sequins - oh and that vintage green dress on Anna-Louise is simply gorgeous!

The final image is for Roxan who left a comment on here the other day - I love that you're here posing with Bruce Samazan during his E-Street days.  I adored him back when!  I love the outfits too - the early 90's was still quite interesting for fashion I feel - am seriously wanting that Saba anorak Aileen is sporting.
