Sleepover Bags!

Hi Heidi,

I've got this really big problem and I need your help! Well you see my freinds having a sleepover and the rest of my friends are going too!! I haven't got a great bag or anything because the ones that I've got at the moment are no good and I never know what bag to use! So I thought that you would have a few suggestions for me and I'm getting really nervous and paranoid about it now because everybody else will have really funky bags except for me! So I really want to WOW them with my new really funky bag!

Thanx, Sara x

Hi Sara!!

Aw wow a sleepover thats sooo cool! Currently we have our super cool Gaint Boombox bag which has real speakers in to attach your Mp3 or Ipod! I'm sure that would dazzle your friends!

Pocket Money Ideas

heeeey heidi!

i loooove your website and all the things in it! But, i only get £4.00 a month pocket money and was wondering if you could tell me some of your bargain bags that i can use for school.

byyye love Chloe.


Hellooooo Chloe!!

Weeellll, we have ssoooo many amazing bags that you would be able to use for school, for example what about our lovely Eeek shopper! Awesome for halloween but you could use it aallll year round if you really wanted to! And at £8.00 you would be able to save up for it more quickly than our other more expensive bags. I always think that when you have saved up to buy something, it makes it all the more exiting when it finally arrives! wouldn't you agree???

I really want to be a Fashion Designer

Hi Heidi!

I really want to be a fashion designer and always have. But everyone tells me it'll never happen and I want to prove them wrong. I want to go to art school and then after that I don't know how to get into the industry!

From Becki xxx

Hello Becki!!

Well firstly I don't think you should listen to anyone who says it will never happen. If you want to be a Fashion Designer then you should follow your dreams!!

Going to Art School seems like a brilliant place to start and then after that there are loooaadddss of Universities with Fashion Design courses that teach you all you need to know about being a Fashion Designer! So get researching into Universities and decide which one you would most like to go to! This is what I did so you never know, in a few years time you could be the next Heidi Seeker! And how nice will it feel to prove everyone wrong in the end!

Ty :D

Hi Katie!

I'm glad you like your hoodie and Mystery bag! I would say that one of our amazing Jigsaw Joy necklaces would look super cool with your raincloud hoodie!! Or if you were wanting to stick to the weather theme then what about the Raincloud necklace?! That would look totally awesome! :D

50's Fun!

Q
Hi. I go to a really boring high school and everyone is using those trashy "Paul's Boutique" bags so i have saved up for a new bag. (The Roller Jam one) but I'm going on holiday in a few weeks and am going for a 50's look and i've bought a frilly white bikini and everything but can't decide on the right bag to go with my new look.
I like kawaii and japanese stuff like tokidoki. You know stuff you don't see everyday.

Any advice???

Love Applexxx

P.S yes apple is my real name

A
Hey Apple! Fab name :D The 50's is always a great look to go for! Here at Heidi Towers we've got an amazing bag that would so suit your new look! How about the Green Topsail Tote. We even have it in blue too!. It's totally big enough to fit in all those holiday essentials while looking amazing too! For an evening bag with a twist, you could go for a Danielle Bag. Very 50's indeed!
Hope that helps!
Heidi :D

Fashioning a Career!

Q.
Hi,
i really want to be a fashion designer like you, i have drawn my own collection but how do i make it to be my carreer?
From Holz:)

A.
Hi Holz!

It's great to see that you've got a passion for fashion! It is however, a lot of hard work and dedication, but I'm sure you've already got that.
I would recommend to start off at college, doing a fashion diploma or even art foundation course, which would then lead you onto a fashion degree at your chosen university. It'll take a few years, and a lot of sweat and tears, but it's more than worth it! Just keep drawing and working on a strong portfolio as universities and employers love to see your ideas and your own style through your designs!

Good Luck!
Heidi :)

Spruce up those T's!

Q.
Heyy Heidi, I have just blown the last of my cash and i dont have many crafty things at home. I have a few old T's and a couple of bags, how would i go about personalising them? I would love to have a wadrobe full of funky item's, any help? Abi xx

A.
Hi Abi,

How about mixing and matching your clothes, such as cutting up the print on one of your T-shirts and sewing it onto a different colour T-Shirt, or taking the sleeves off one shirt and adding them to another?
You can pick up iron on patches quite cheaply in most haberdasheries and you could also try making your own corsages out of ribbons and attaching those with a pin to your T-shirt.

Have fun crafting!
Love Heidi :)

Sleepover bag crisis!

Q. Hi heidi,

I am going to a really cool sleepover and and i need a really cool bag to show off and wow my friends and hold my stuff , what do you suggest ?

Mary-Jane

A.
Well Mary-Jane do I have the bag for you! The amazing new cupcake backpack! It is big enough to hold loads of stuff, has many pockets and a pull out handle for dragging it behind you like an international jet setter! It is bound to stand out against the usual boring holdalls and camping rucksacks that most overnight trips consist of and it is practical as well as kickass! Why not fill it with some fun sleepover goodies like ice cream lipbalms for each of your mates or some of our fab new hello kitty purses filled with sweets! To top it all off no fun girly evening is complete without a set of ice cream bubbles in a supercute ice cream shaped bottle!

Bobby Dazzlers!

Q. Heidi! I am a massive fan of vintage clothes and accessories! However, such items are being sold for quite a lot on EBay, and I've noticed that some things are getting quite pricey in vintage boutiques! I can longer afford to pay such ridiculous amounts! Where else can I hunt for vintage treats?


A. "Another person's junk is another person's treasure!", David Dickinson once said! Try finding out if you have a local car boot sale in your area. Lots of bric 'a' brac to be bought!

Be prepared for early mornings though as they tend to start really early! Don't snooze or you will lose out to other bargain hunters!

I once found some second hand Jimmy Choos heels for £12! In my size too! It was really worth waking up early for! Cheap as chips!

It's lots of fun and you can even barter for a discount!

Less EMO more RAVE?

askrave-head.jpg


Q. I wanna drop my Emo label and Become more new Rave any ideas how?


Magick_x


A. This is quite a tricky ask Heidi as what you are planning is going to take guts! Firstly I should do a whole bla bla bla about how labelling is wrong and we are all individuals bla bla bla... but who am I kidding we all do it and fitting ourselves into a sub-genre helps define who we are.


New rave is all about looking as ludicrous as physically possible and not caring. This can be a bit of a shock to the system if you are not used to it. So I suggest easing your new rave persona in slowly... I have divided your transformation into a few easy steps. How quickly you do this really depends on your self confidence and courage and also whether or not you live in Hackney or Hampshire... I am demonstrating the transformation on the ultimate Emo icon. Emily the Strange, now to be quite honest I don't think she looks very strange, in fact I think she just looks a bit fed up. Lets see what we can do to turn poor sad little Emily into a New rave Riot!



Now begin your transformation with a rave staple. Gold trashy jewellery, just clag on as much as you can, don't be shy. Think Mr T with bells on, or 50cent on a particularly blingy day. I get all my gold chain from B&Q that way I can dangle all sorts of crap from it and it doesn't break. Attach plastic stuff to your chain like old toys, tapes, fake fruit, and whistles... Top it off with one of our NEW apple name necklaces.



Here's where you nip out to TK Max and buy some of the trainers no one else wants, you know the kind. The grotesquely garish egg yolk yellow patent Reeboks left over from 1995; snap them up they are perfect! Wear them with some brightly coloured leggings. At this point you can stop if you like and re-label yourself an EMO RAVER. I wouldn't advise it though, the emo kids will spit at you and the new ravers will just think you bottled out half way.

Next buy one of our AWESOME sweats; a neon slogan can never fail to perk an outfit up.


Ok now you are nearly there! You should already be getting funny looks in the street especially if like me you live outside London. Lets take it to the next level! Get hold of a bright yellow coat, it needn't be yellow just really bright. Buy some really colourful eye shadow and apply all over your face. Outlandish headwear is a must; especially if you don't want to dye your Emo locks a bright colour. So pick up something along the lines of our OWL BAND to doll up that noggin!


askrave4.jpg


The finishing touch has to be a pair of crazy Sunglasses! All of the ones pictured above are available to buy in our sunglasses section! Either go for the classic wayfarer with the lenses taken out or something far more bizarre like some giant cocktail glass shades. Now look at you!


You should look ridiculous but at the same time fabulous, you have transformed from a drab little blackbird into a bird of paradise. Now go outside and see what happens, I did this and an old lady came up to me and gave me a pound (she thought I was collecting for comic relief). Yes people will point and laugh but hey at least they are smiling, the world could do with a bit more fun in it!

New Year... New Rave?

new-rave2.jpg


Q. Aaah Help! My super trendy mate has organised a 'new rave' New Years party and I have no idea what to wear. I had only just been born in 1988 when the original raves were going on and I have no idea what kind of things I should be wearing to get the right look. Please advise me queen of seekerness!

Jess

A. Hmm being just a nipper myself in 88 I was not raving it up until way into the 90s! So I cannot really advise you based on personal memory. What I can do is show you a sneak peek of the new Heidi Seeker RAVE range available later on this month, for New Year delivery! Follow these simple rules and I think your new/nu/nue rave look should be brighter that a million light sticks!



1. You can never have enough neon. You need to look like you fell into a radioactive lake and then got abducted by aliens and force-fed light sticks. A bit of neon eye shadow would probably do if you are not too adventurous! (See stargazer for dayglo eye shadow)

2. Cram as many smiley faces onto your being as possible! We have some ACE iron on patches
in our DIY section just for that purpose. See above for more smiley action!

3. Find a neon shell suit. You may not remember shell suits but alas I do. Dayglo, windproof, highly flammable sportswear. It littered the late 80s and early 90s like a horrendous fluorescent plague. I had a neon yellow complete tracksuit (my mother said it was so she could find me when I ran off in the supermarket) I reckon even if I was a mile away in a complete blackout you would have seen me. Dayglo sportswear IS the way forward with this look. Go find some! Charity shops are a good bet, so is eBay. Or if you are too scared for an all out sporting look, get some neon leggings to wear with a little mini dress (LLROK has some fab ones)

3. Accessorise- Light sticks, whistles, white gloves and visor sunglasses will complete your look. Keep a look out in January for some super sunglasses coming to heidiseeker.com. In the mean time get your white gloves on and pull some shapes!

Bemusing Badges

Q. hello heidi, i have loads and loads of old pin badges gathering dust in a draw. they have phrases, pictures, band names and anything else you can fit on a pin badge. the thing is i would really like to wear them more but i don't want to look like an idiot with hundreds of them pinned to me. any ideas?

sarah

A. Well Sarah, firstly, how LUCKY are you?? A fab draw crammed with pin badges is my absolute dream! I love badges and a cool collection of random ones is the stuff that dreams are made of. Secondly, get them out of the dark and get them on everything you own!

The great thing about badges is they are detachable so once you are out and about sporting them you can take a few off/add a few to transform your look. I bet Lilly Allen (below) did just that with her nu rave smiley. I prefer Giselle's look, there is nothing better than a bit of faded denim covered top to bottom in badges. WOO HOO!

Seriously if you are not the crazy extravagant type why not wear a small cluster of them in the corner of a plain sweat or tee. Or buy one of those cheap cotton totes/army bags and cover the whole thing in them. Once you have got started there is no stopping it. You will have badges on everything!

If you are unsure where to start have a badge party! Invite your mates round for cocktails and nibbles give them a free badge each and get them to help you pimp out your wardrobe in the most badge-tastic way possible!

Oh and remember to send me some photos of the finished masterpeices (Just so I can go green with envy!) For those of you that want to try out a fun pin badge look why not check out our badge packs!

Colour Query?

Q. I wear lots of black and grey and love the look but i would also love to add some colour to my wardrobe without looking like i swallowed a 5yr olds clown party.

Greer

clown2.jpg

A. Hmmm... I am all for looking like a 5 year olds clown party! The more colourful the better! : D
I can understand how as a wearer of black and grey you can find the prospect of crazy colours a bit daunting. I have a good friend who used to only wear black. She found it difficult to know which colours would suit her, so she didn't wear any.

Start by adding some subtle colour to you wardrobe like olive greens, plums and steely blues this will get you feeling more comfortable about wearing things other than black. Take a friend whose opinion you trust shopping with you. That way if you are a redhead about to make the faux pas of buying a neon orange hair band you have someone to intervene!

Once you are used to wearing the odd piece in a different colour get adventurous! Buy something in a royal blue or bright red. I gave my friend a royal blue unicorns hoodie for her birthday and she wears it all the time now with a little blue denim skirt and black tights. It looks great!

Another option is to accesorise your black items with vivid colours like a bright belt and/or shoes. This will show you are an individual without being too in your face. I love stepping out in all black with my glam rocker shopper and neon yellow shoes. Cool accessories can turn a normally boring outfit into something with a bit of wow factor!

Q. One of my mates says that I am copying this other girl’s style but I like what I wear! We are similar, what should I do? Please help!

Jo


A.Oh no! It’s horrible when someone criticises your own personal style. It is actually a very common problem. Your friend could just be feeling insecure about her own style (or lack of it) and is choosing to get at you because of it. Fashion is all about emulating different styles and unless this other girl goes round dressed in a superhero outfit or adorned head to toe in silver pvc of course there are going to be things you both like.

Even some of the worlds most famous and stylish people end up in the same outfits every now and again. As long as you stick to what is true to you and your own personal taste you have nothing to worry about. Try and seek out unusual things to wear that are not on the high street. That way you are less likely to come across someone with the same clobber as you.

I like shopping in second hand stores and making and customising my own clothes to be sure my individuality remains intact. Please try not to let it get to you, if people didn't generally all like the same things at the same time the fashion industry wouldn't exist. Don't ever let anyone tell you how you should dress, stick to what YOU like and you can't go wrong.

Prom Date Dilemma

Q. Hello, I'd like a little advice please Dearest Heidi...

This guy that I really, really like has asked me to the prom. What I am having trouble with is what on earth do I wear? I don't want to wear the average long silky dress, I'd like to stand out a bit.

Do you have any ideas Heidi?

Muchly appreciated, Megs xxx

A. Well Megs, I have trawled the high street for my favourite prom dresses and put together a few looks for you to play with. I love a classic 50s style prom dress as it shows off your legs and makes you look ultra feminine. It is also so much fun to dance in especially if you wear a net petticoat underneath it!

This look is all about looking Uber Cute! Go for a pastel coloured girly dress and team it with gorgeous candy coloured accessories. Keep your make up low key with shimmering pastel shades and glossy pink lipstick. I personally love 'L’Oreal Glam Shine' as it is sooo sparkly. Keep your hair natural and either swept up with a fresh flower pinned into it or wear it down with some cute hair slides.

This look is great if you really want to look super fashionable, as this season it's one of fashion's key looks. Keep accessories simple with maybe one or two statement pieces. If you have long hair go for a cute high ponytail and quiff with a cool clip or if you have short hair go for a messy funky ‘bedhead’ look. You could go all out with bold 50s style make up, wear black liquid liner with a slight flick on the side of your upper eyelid and bright red lipstick.

This look is predominantly black and white. The dress is great for really flattering the figure as panels of colour are very slimming. I like mixing a black and white theme with flashes of bright colour. You could do this with accessories or why not try some brightly coloured nail varnish and lipstick for a contrast look.

Why not go for a totally plain little black dress, something you can wear again for other occasions and team it with crazy accessories to get a really individual look. You could even take a change of accessories with you to change your overall look halfway through the evening. I have mixed this little black dress with a bold animal print, very Betty Paige and super sexy! Dye your hair black pout those lips and be the prom pin-up!

Boy Trouble...

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.
