DISCLAIMER: PUNK. I mean, is there really anything else to say about the grass roots 70’s explosion, it’s reggae influence, London Vs NY, new wave and everything else that prompted, followed and surrounded it? Icons like Sid and Nancy, Vivienne and Malcolm, Joey Ramone and Siouxsie all deserve LIKE A THOUSAND (anti) fashspiration columns each. […]
From midnight to baby blue shades, working blue tonally all over is a big story next season. Denim (duh!) is the most obvious entry point and the AW13 shows show us how to work it. James Long gave us boyish, boxy denim shapes and contrast fabrics such as rubber and mohair. Turn-ups, tapestry and cropped jean […]
It’s Burns Night on the 25th January, sae let the Lord be thankit. This is the night where we celebrate the Birthday of Scottish poet Robert Burns whose most well known poem Auld Lang Syne we sing, or rather try to sing, on NYE. The true way to celebrate Burns Night is to have a […]
Best sale buys. Online, obvs. Because IF YOU DO GET UP AT 4AM TO QUEUE AT THE NEXT SALE YOU ARE BATSHIT CRAZY AND DESERVE TO BE SHOT. However, if you merrily roll out of your cheese coma, grab your laptop and log on to Zara YOU DESERVE A MEDAL. AND A GLASS OF WINE. […]
Christmas dressing for the most means rotating roughly three outfits: something sparkly (going out), a gravy stained jumper (staying in) and a questionable onesie (being hungover). Avoid the sartorial festive rut with some pre-Christmas fashion and beauty inspiration below… Coloured (faux) fur Natalie Joos and Kate Moss have been seen sporting coloured fur this December. Try a […]
I’m writing this wearing what essentially is an adult romper suit. Nope, I’m not some weird sex fetish loser (although I *do* have a thing for men’s forearms; Patrick Swayze’s being the sexiest EVS), but I’m wearing a onesie. A fleecy all-in-one hooded garment, zipped from neck (to crotch) at the front. And mine might […]
So that’s it then. It’s Christmas. WELL IT MAY AS WELL BE *shivers, eats soup. Puts fire on. Plays Slade. AGAIN.* So instead of roasting chestnuts, stuffing gooses etc (ERM, I totally stuff gooses. Geese. What?) and dreaming about merry white Christmases (ahem), I’m MOSTLY dreaming about my winter wardrobe. And here’s my top five […]
I always thought it was ‘trickle treat’. It’s not. Aaaaanyway, the Christmas lights are up on Oxford Street just waiting for some D-list celeb to turn them on which can only mean one thing: it’s Halloween. Skeletons are weird. When you see someone dressed as a skeleton does it freak you out to think that […]
I still, even at the age of… 29 *cough, splutter* get the Back to Skool buzz in August. A craving for winter boots, wool coats and new stationary. I remember making my sisters scream with hilarity because I bought a pair of suede knee high boots and a faux fur coat (well, it was 1996) […]
WAR. WHAT IS IT GOOD FOR? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. Well, OK, something. Camouflage. It’s good for camo. And while that whole face-painted-as-leaves look never QUITE worked for me (although I have rocked a similar look stumbling out of Faces nightclub at 3am), grunge is BACK in fashion. *Licks purple lipstick off teeth. Squints through round mirrored […]
