//ROBOT:BLK:SEQ//

I am a black sequinned robot.

I have been programmed by my master to command all* all black sequinned garments to automatically gravitate towards me.

Anything with those black circular shiny discs will be picked up by my sensors.  No high street chain/charity shop/vintage store/flea market can will be left unturned. 

Neither the master nor I knows when the programme will stop but it's not anytime soon.

Soon there will be no more black sequinned garments left to sense and the master will have to re-programme me to sense some other magpie object. 

*The Topshop black sequin trews that a lot of you pointed out to me had a bizarre non-skinny fit on me... I malfunctioned on that one...

LOL... I had best keep my black sequinned man-jacket under lock and key. I imagine nothing is safe!! x

heehee, i can't stop loving shiny blackness either! it is the quantum beauty- light and dark all at once!!!

If you aren't gutzy enough to go all out metallic (more power to you my dear!!) but you still want to be a part of this hot trend, check out the Metallic Seamless Cami from Artfulwears.com!
Every girl I know has a collection of bra camis, and you are ALL going to want the Lurex Metallic Seamless Cami by Bordeaux. Check them out in mocha, gold, and silver at Artfulwears.com!

wow susie.. you have outdone yourself. I love it.. I too have been gravitating towards sequins these days.. ANd robots for that matter too.
Two robot pendants and my whole embroidery project on robots.. if thats not verging on obsessive.....
You look stunning. Id love to just glimpse the jungle that is your wardrobe...
Mine is more like a desert..
xo

I love it! I don't know where to write this but I have been wanting to ask you for advice towards prom dresses! -Seeing as prom dress shopping in Montreal is out of the question - What did you wear to prom/what would you wear to prom if it were upcoming?
I am in such a dilemma with what to get made, I'd loove your advice! Thanks :) xx

whether you are a robot or not...that outfit is great. i already have an affinity for sequins and i love how you put everything together

you look like pure evil!
:)

you look haute!

i still dream about those chanel black sequined high waisted hot pants.... twas the beginning of the black sequin fever..

where are your shoes from? i feel i havent seen them before.. the toe looks balenciaga..

Haha your boyfriend must have nice surprises sometimes :)

Me too! For the Art of Fashion I wore 3 different sequined outfits

well that at least explains how you post so exhaustively - you've obviously been programmed for über-drive as well as global-sequin-domination.

Sexy! Gorgeous. You are so beautiful and fierec.

You know, I thought I was bored of sequins. Now I have realised, through this post, that the right way to do sequins is to go all the way, wear nothing but sequins. Not my style to wear, but definetily something I like to see others wear.

Thanks for all the comments. This in no way means that your black sequins are safe though...

Elliot: Hide it away sharpish as my sensors are strong!
Marie: Quite literally, the wardrobe is a jungle... sometimes I can't even wade through it!
Angela: I hail from the land where proms don't exist...well not at my school anyway so I don't really know what to advise you... but if I had a prom, I would say vintage is the best budget/creative option...
Lady Cov: *wuhahahahaha*
n: Victorias' Secret own Balenciaga knock-off boots.... yes, I'm a cheapo!
Mick: Thankfully, he doesn't have any black sequins to steal...
Roseann: Did I see you out and about in your sparkly spangledness?
mgw: That is my masterplan.... excessive posting and sequin domination!
La Primavera: Go forth and do it all the way!

you know, these topshop skinny trousers you posted about before you left for paris have never quite left my mind... the post was called "The ticking Trouser Watch" i believe... there´s no topshop where I live, so I have been looking for similar trousers everywhere - no success so far...
Yours,
Cate

you ARE HI-LAAAAAAARIOUS!

Black sequin trousers - try Arrogant Cat - far nicer than the topshop ones and they're really skinny, we used them in a shoot. I think they have them at discoo.com but I'm sure you can get to the store.

Smoking!

I don't know of anyone else who could pull off that many sequins and not look try-hard/certifiable, apart from you Susie. The outfit is amazing, especially with the gloves and boots!

OMG you did it again. I love this looks sooo much i'm buying something sequiny this week.

best outfit so far, susie :)

you make it work!

Sequins become you!

Gemma - thank you for the tip concerning the black sequined trousers! I'll check out discoo.com right now!

hey!

nice -- but i what i relly really wanna know is where you got those tights! i want'em. please share. x A

hey susie, you probably have already seen this, but i thought i'd show you just in case you haven't as it incorporates both your love of sequins and your penchant for wearing bras outside of shirts!

  • As I post so frequently, the archive is organised by week but this blog has been up and running since March 2006 so if you want to read from the ye olde beginning, just keep going back through the weeks or alternatively, go through the archives via Category.

  • It's back to ol' YouTube vids then... I'm obsessed with this track by Miike Snow... a little disturbed that these are the same guys who came up with Britney's Toxic...
