Q. Help me Heidi! A boy I like hasn't been paying me much attention... What should I wear to get him looking my way? Thank you for your help xx
Pippa, Winchester
A. Hmm, this is a tricky one Pippa it really depends on the boy's personality as to what will appeal to him. Although I would never recommend drastically changing your own unique style for ANY boy. I do certainly understand how some carefully placed garms and accessories can make all the difference. So to help I have compiled a little selection of must haves depending on personality type, just follow the option that most resembles your dreamboat!
Ah... The Individual... He is a bit of an enigma and is probably too caught up in his own insane ramblings to even notice you exist. I recommend drastic action when trying to appeal to this one, play him at his own game and prove you are as crackers as he is! This outfit is all about clashing and over styling. You need to blind him with you kooky dress sense and here is how...

The Boy Next Door is just a darn nice chap! He probably hasn't noticed you because it would not even occur to him that you could see him as anything more than a friend. This kind of guy needs careful handling and gentle hinting. Do not scare off with loads of statement pieces, go for cute and girly to win this boys heart. Keep your outfit simple with some playful styling to get him talking. A kitsch bag is always a good conversation starter.

The Rock Rebel is likely to be found in the local park looking angry and depressed, or if he is a professional maybe on stage yelling his angst into a microphone. Don't be put off by this cutie's dower exterior he isn't angry he is just bored and longing for YOU to appear and cheer him up. To attract the rock rebel, appeal to his love of all things black shiny and skull covered. WAIT! Before you dye your entire wardrobe black remember it's not ALL doom and gloom. Mix with some carefully placed hints of colour to show you are a gal that likes to have fun.

The Indie Kid LOVES music and girls. Keep your outfit sexy and feminine with a rock and roll edge. Pile on that dark eye make up and head to a gig. A WARNING... Do not assume that by wearing a band tee-shirt you are going to automatically snare the Indie Kid. DO YOUR RESEARCH. There are plenty of repro rock band tees around at the moment if you are going to wear one do your homework and make sure when questioned on said band you actually know who the hell they are.

The Intellectual has probably not made a play for you because he has already overanalysed everything that could go wrong with the two of you getting together and has talked himself out of it. You need to show him you are on his wavelength. Be ladylike and studious but still sexy, some of the greatest minds in the world have been overcome by pin up girl glamour. Look at Arthur Miller and Marilyn Monroe... So pop on those heels and horns rims and go and loiter outside the library.

There is only one thing you need to turn yourself into the gal of a boy racer. A sun visor! Wear it with any outfit and you immediately demand the attention of anyone with an oversized exhaust pipe and a sound system in their boot.

My glam rocker shopper was complimented by a lovely lady today when I was enquiring about a job. Hopefully the bag will forever ingrain me in her memory as a supper cool potential employee. When I go bug them again next week I will take my too cool for school bag. Even if they don't employ me they are certainly going to notice my super bags. Basically this is my long winded way of agreeing with the 'ask heidi' advice seen above. But with cool seeker items it won't just be boys noticing you, everyone will! So to conclude it's very good advice.

Is it just me or is noel fielding good looking?
Indie | July 21, 2006 8:06 PM
Noel fielding is amazingly good looking(!), but I would never have the confidence 2 wear that! I'll stick 2 my usual indie t-shirt, cut off denim mini, bag plastered with inane badges and either my pumps or customised wellies! What about that Heidi?!
