Corinne and Kate

Looking over the US September Issue and the amazing Kate wedding photos but had to share some of my favourite Kate images. Completely stripped down and iconic as a supermodel in the making.

Ashish on ASOS

Hasn't Ashish Gupta done good?  Spotted by Browns Focus whilst at St. Martins, his first collection in 2001 critically aclaimed leading to his debut LFW collection in 2004. Not content with dressing numerous celebs and Hoxton scenesters and a Topshop collection Ashish has just launched A/W 2011 on ASOS - YAY. I bloody love how he fuses western and eastern cultures together and does not make sequins look tacky AT ALL.

I am skint but surely a gal can dream? Here are some of the stand out pieces to drool over.

Hello Mate! Topshop goes to oz

Topshop are going full steam ahead with their worldwide domination. Fresh on the heels of their Chicago opening, the fashion Mecca is coming to Australia.

The first stand-alone Topshop store in Australia is set to open in Melbourne by the end of the year(further plans of a Sydney branch following) With a December opening the 1300 square metre site at The Jam Factory on Chapel Street will also include clothing from Topman. My Philip green has decided a cautious approach with his Ozzie expansion and is using a franchisee "Next At leisure"





Here's the statement from big Phil:

"I am delighted to be launching the Topshop and Topman brands in Australia," Topshop's owner Sir Philip Green said in a statement.

"This represents another step in our continued international growth, and I am confident that the Australian customers will enjoy the retail experience and fantastic product offer that both our brands will deliver for them."






What do you guys think? Excited? I know my bezzie Lynnie will be she says the shopping in oz is totes rubbish.

Loves it.

River island character hats - thanks Katy Perry,thanks alot.


Remember this image all the way back in winter 2009? When Katy and Russell just got together and she spent time with him wandering about London with her Chanel and THAT hat.






Ah river island when that hat came out along with that image in the press you hit gold! Everyone and their nan had one of those bloody hats and I thought they had disappeared off the space of the earth never to be seen again on girls in an ugg/legging style combo but sweet Jesus River Island have only done it again haven't they,this autumn/winter 2011.

Now I understand the huge fall trends of character knits that are invading the high street as we speak but shoppers are savvy,stop giving us the same stuff season after season. The one thing I hate about high street (and topshop are so bad at doing this ATM) is seeing something go to fad status because they roll it out in every colour/style under the sun until everyone in Glasgow has it.

Shame on you River Island I had alot of faith in you this year. Shame on you.











Kill.me.now

Would you wear any of these,despite the trend dying two years ago.....?

I'm a little topshop polar bear

I need this jumper in my life

I have long been obsessed with creature comfort knits. Especially in autumn when its chilly and it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy to wear a nice mammal on my sweater. I think the obsession came from Chanel Fall 2007 and their penguin knit. AMAZING! I still think about the amazingness of that jumper to this day.




Since that was like 4 years ago (WTF I feel old?) I need to track down a cute critter to match. This one from topshop will do just fine with my fur muff for the cold months - yay!



Topshop £46 - buying it now

Anyone think Topshop were insensitive given that Horatio Chapple,17 year old Eton school boy was mauled to death by a polar bear in Norway recently? Maybe it just slipped their minds eh? I'm sure some folk will complain about it anyway.



Loves it.
