New jingle jangle item from Topshop. How predictable, I know. They've got loads of these charm necklaces in at the moment and while I'm pretty sure they're not all unique, this was the only one of these I could find anywhere in store. Cute, cheap etc. All good. On the subject of cute and cheap, come say hi if you see me at the New Look Oxford Circus launch tomorrow! Can't wait to see what they've done with the place and am already planning what to buy with the generouso press discount....... Pics to follow, no doubt.

I still love this picture. Tim Walker for Juicy Couture, the Giles and Proenza hair, that Lisa Shepherd image I just posted... Yesterday my favourite hairdresser emailed me about their new 'Ice Cream Sundae' service, offering slices of lilac and pink, lemon and blue... Next appointment due soon so maybe we'll see.

Following on from those galaxy crotch trousers I wrote about ages ago... Today on Pipeline they posted these amazing Nebula shoes from Zazzle.com. Wow, only about 1000x nicer than any other trainers I've seen this year. I don't get how they manage to make these so awesome and then still see fit to offer this as a legit accessory that they assume people will purchase;



... but who am I to question it?

I've always been pretty vocal about my love for Henry Rollins. I'm obsessed, I fantasise about how cool it would be if he was my dad, that kind of thing. I thought I had the monopoly on pictures of him but when I was Googling something the other day this sprang up out of the blue and just about blew my tiny mind.

Anyone who know Hank but at all will be aware that his thoughts on personal style pretty much go: Dickies/Vans/t-shirt. That's the way it's been for the last thirty years, why change the habit of a lifetime. It makes me feel a bit gross and ashamed of myself to talk about the FASHION behind this picture because it's the last thing our man would have ever even considered, but let's just whisper how much I love those rolled sleeves. Amazing.

[Not the world's biggest Olsen fan but this is essentially what I wear every Saturday morning to go and buy the paper with a hangover and it's in my top five best looks ever.]

It's good to see that even though The Team are temporarily disbanded, everyone seems to be blogging hard through their respective illnesses. I just looked at Iso's blog and lo and behold, she's written a post about long skirts. This is a subject close to my heart, as she mentions, and without wanting to piggy back onto her post too much, I do feel the need to mention that only today I was considering more long purchases.



As a 5'1" midget with a beer baby belly, general consensus states that I have no business wearing maxi anything, but as Iso reports, I do. The paisley skirt she mentions is my number one favourite item of clothing (99p, Ryan Vintage opening day) and as she also says, whenever I wear it people tell me how good it looks. I recently bought that orange maxi dress from ASOS that I posted about (above!) and a woman literally chased me through Old Street station to tell me that it looked great. Her words actually were, "I love what you're wearing, it's so bright and colourful it's made my day." Pretty cute, but fucking weird because as I stepped off the escalator and thanked her, a girl came down in the opposite direction wearing the same damn frock. FOR REAL! Was odd.

Anyway, as I mentioned... Today I was checking out an array of maxis so it's a weird coincidence Iso wrote about the subject too. They're definitely due a revival; join me.
