We're all big babies! The evolution of the onesie.

Cheryl looking super comfy but super stylish!

My bunny onesie from Primark at £9.99- not bad!

This item has been around for awhile! The onesie was originally designed for infants and babies combining both a top and trouser garments that the little tot couldn't pull off easily. It became popular in the 1950s as a means of keeping an infant warm, happy and clean.


The onesie first took America by storm before eventually crossing the Atlantic being readily available to us! Allegedly, the adult styles were a recreation of pale blue long-johns as seen in cowboy films (a style that is recreated a lot in TopMan if you want to get your man one for Christmas) however I remember first seeing them in the simple snowflake/Christmas patterns in Primark or New Look normally found in the sleep or nightwear section of stores. Now, due to booming popularity, it is available in many styles, patterns and colors. If you're feeling creative try http://www.the-all-in-one-company.co.uk/ for a one piece completely unique to you (although it's a little pricey for me).


If we sent the onesie to do a Jeremy Kyle DNA test with the jumpsuit there'd definitely be some biological similarities. Just look at the onesie Cheryl Cole was papped wearing! It looks so comfortable but you definitely can't say she's just waltzed out in her PJs. One thing I'm not so hot on is the body stocking Lorna Bliss wore to her X Factor audition- at least she has balls! And I suppose that's what fashion is at the end of the day and if you think you look great then that's all that matters!

The Stocking

 I'm also seeing the onesie used as an option for fancy dress- minimal effort yet maximum effect! Although it will get quite hot when you're busting a move on the dancefloor...

Blog virginity taken!

This will probably be the most boring post ever but I have to start somewhere!
I'll tell you a little about me first...

My name is Hannah Richardson and I was born in Newcastle Upon Tyne on the 9/12/1992 making me the ripe old age of 19. I am currently a student studying BA (hons) Communications at Cardiff University therefore I am your typical scrooge when it comes to spending.

If it's one thing I love more than fashion it's chocolate cake!!

And I love my puppy too!!

Unfortunately I have an addiction to fashion- whether it be highstreet best sellers or the crazy but genius combinations seen at the recent London Fashion week 2012 and this does not mix well with the budget I'm on! I've set this up because so you girls can see my best pick of products and items accessible and available to everyone of all budgets.

I have three years of fashion retail experience working for brands such as New Look, SuperDry and my most current position is supervisor at BANK fashion. I have worked with many mainstream brands but I love exploring online boutiques and having a nose in charity shops!

As for the hair and beauty side of things well what can I say! Guilty as charged! My hair has been so many colors it would give Joseph and his technicolored dream coat a run for his money. I've had the pixy cut AND extensions- been there done that! I have to admit I wear a lot of make-up, even to the gym!

I'm a down to earth girl trying to afford a champagne lifestyle on lemonade wages bringing you my findings along the way -
I will do it one day!!!
