Caggie Dunlop


Cute, sexy and sophisticated. Three words that describe the beautiful Caggie Dunlop. She always looks impeccable, even when in casuals!

When You Wish Upon A Star And All That!



**Open Back Dress by Sister Jane

A Topshop beauty! For £75, all I need is the money to spare and the guts to wear a dress like this! With the black, leather collar and belt with gold charms, and no back, this dress is intense and sexy without showing too much, if styled in the right way, this dress could stay with you through day to night. It demands attention so be prepared!




Okay, so I know what you're thinking; sequined trousers, really!? But yes, why the hell not! It's nearly Christmas, so why not use the colours and just downright over-the-top-ness, as inspiration! I'm not saying base your look around a Christmas tree, but just give your style a little more oomph to cheer people up from the dark and cold evenings!
The blazer; simple, sleek and cinched at the waist. A perfect contrast to the trousers, which would apply balance to your look as well as showing off or creating a womanly shape, accentuating the waist and bust. From Miss Selfridge, at £45 it's a little too much to fork out as we're so close to Christmas, however think of it as an investment; you could wear it anywhere!
Now, the trousers. Priced at £30 from Lavish Alice, and considering the amount of sequins and effort that went into these, I think they're reasonably priced! They're a statement piece so you couldn't wear them two days in a row, unless you were in a different country, however they could become the item that you pull out at the last minute for an office party, or a surprise date!
The silk blouse from H&M at £20 is a bargain in my eyes! And along with the blazer, it is an affordable investment!
SHOEGASM. Aren't they gorgeous!? And only £25 from New Look, oh I could cry with happiness! Wear them anywhere, with almost anything and look and feel stunning; the perfect shoe.

Equality, Stereotypes and Desire

October 6th

Equality can never fully happen; to be blunt. I do believe that every person is equal, as we are all human beings, all living on the same planet and all have a life to live and a part to play. However, everyone is different. Everyone has their own strengths, and their own weaknesses. Meaning, there is no equality; there is similarity, but not equality.

I'm going to contradict myself a little here and say that I believe everuone should be treated equally Everyone deserves a fair shot at being what they aspire to be. If a woman wants to break out of a steroetype and become a builder, who has the right to stop her? No one. The only thing that should have an impact on what you become if your desire and your ambition. If you want something, go and get it! Work hard and set realistic goals that will get you where you want to be.

Ladies, why should we 'stay in the kitchen'? We shouldn't! And lads, if you're good at football, and enjoy it; fair enough, play it and be passionate about it, but f not, NO WOZZAS!

You need to know who you are and what you want, and then accept it! If you don't accept yourself, you can't expect anyone else to

Thank you!

My name is Jay Brooks. I have created this blog called "The Abnormal Convention", this will provide an insight into my surroundings, experiences and varied inspiration which impacts my style choices, as well as my lifestyle; I believe that my experiences enable me to empaphise with a wide variety of people, and for that reason, I will be providing an anonymous advice page.

And, would you like fries with that?

So, how can I help you? I am here to inspire, interest and innovate your style, as well as mine along the way! I will be providing something for everyone, with varied price ranges and body shapes!

I will be taking inspiration from varied magazines and putting my own spin on some of their features, such as 'catwalk to highstreet' from a favourite magazine of mine, still includes prices closer to catwalk than highstreet; it just isn't realistic enough, anyone deserves to feel and look good in what they wear, without having to declare bankruptcy! 

Looking impeccable with minimal effort? Yeah, about that...this only applies to those with makeup artists, stylists and personal shoppers, therefore requiring minimal effort from the person themselves and lots of effort from those running around after them. I hate to break it to you, but looking good will take time and effort! 


With my lifestyle posts I just hope to help anyone with troubles, I also want to share my opinion on a few things. Varying from larger issues, to the little things that are really irritating!

Thank you to every beauty reading this;
signing off with a nose crinkle and a giggle!
