Powerpuff Yourself!
Now, when I discovered there was an app called ‘Powerpuff Yourself’ to say I was excited would have been an understatement. I have to say it is one of the most fun apps I have come across in a looooooong time! This is the app I used to create my Powerpuff avatar. It took a long time to create this character, with scrolling through the many items of clothing, accessories and hairstyle options (topped with me being so indecisive) I OBVIOUSLY went for the gold chain which came with the grey long sleeve top. Now, I would very rarely wear a grey long sleeve t-shirt but when it came to the gold chain I had to go for this! I went for a pair of jeans as I am always in jeans and I LOVE mid-wash denim. I wanted to go for the closest thing to my gold NIKE Air Max, so the yellow capped-toe trainers did very nicely! The choice in hairstyles, hair colour, facial hair and glasses is crazy, there is so many to pick from. Once you have finished picking your look you can then pick your “superpower’. The choices are really cute such as ‘LOL Power’ and ‘Selfie Smasher’. Each power is made up of different animals, emojis and colours. I went for the ‘Mega Multi-Tasker’ not necessarily because it is true, LOL, but because it had the pink colour background.
Due to the discovery of this app, I decided to do a little shoot of my new Powerpuff Girls themed outfit. While a friend was visiting Manchester for work he sent me a picture of this EYE-POPPING Powerpuff Girls long sleeve t-shirt from H&M. I immediately fell in love with it and he very kindly offered to get it for me just in case my local H&M didn’t have it in stock. SHOCK, both my local H&M stores didn’t have it in stock (we always seem to be the last to get new lines in). I decided to go for a more oversized fit so I went for the XL. This t-shirt still hasn’t appeared online and I am PRAYING they will release more options in this range similar to the Spongebob collection they had during the summer.
I paired the t-shirt with my go-to ASOS high waist mid-wash jeans. I love the fit of these jeans both on the leg and around the waist. I find them very comfortable yet they add a little something extra with the fit being high waisted. The denim does not have any stretch to it so thankfully the slightly wider fit legs make them more comfortable when bending your knees. I went for my usual jean size and hoped that they came in as a good fit as ASOS bottoms can be VERY hit and miss size-wise.
I went for the Reebok Workout Plus X PAQ as a footwear choice. When I first saw these trainers I fell in love with them. Not only do I love a Reebok Workout, but when the colours are as bright and fun as these, of course, I’m on board! They have small alien heads printed on to the leather……………. and plastic parts. The Reebok Workout is an incredibly comfortable shoe and I was so happy when I found this amazing pair on the Foot Locker website reduced by 50%.
Back in the summer of 2016, Moschino graced us with yet another unbelievably themed catwalk show that featured the Cartoon Network’s Powerpuff Girls. In this collection, there were crossbody bags of each of the girl’s faces. I remember these bags being soooooo expensive at the time but I reeeeeally wanted (at least) one of them. I searched from these bags on www.vestiairecollective.com for years afterwards and just so happened to find this Buttercup bag listed for £90. I obviously jumped on this purchase! Ever since I got the bag it has sadly been sat in a cupboard in its protective dust bag. I did loan it to a friend for a friend’s wedding we went to in 2019 and it was so nice to see Buttercup’s face out and about. I had to use this bag for this shoot or else it would have been another 2 years before she saw the light of day again.
