She had brown hair. [Warehouse Maxi Dress]

I’ve been thinking of changing my general head area for a while cause I’m sick of it so I nipped over to Editha in The Style Club last week to see what she could do. I wanted to go Marilyn-blonde but apparently my hair’s too dark so the only thing they’d do is ‘start me off’. I’m still not quite used to it but yea, it’s grand.

Anywho this is a Warehouse dress I bought about two months ago and totally forgot about. I saw it in their campaign and wanted it straight away. Now, it doesn’t look the same on me as it did on the chick in the shots, possibly cause I ain’t no damn stick figure, but I kinda like what it does to the ol curves. It’s funny how you can be well covered up and still feel a lil sexual. My fave.

[LFW Special: My faves] Mulberry SS2011

Ahh Mulberry, I always knew we had, ye know, a ‘thing’. Your hair, your ruffles, your sinched in waist bands… and we know last time what happened with your handbags….giggle. It’s like being on a very cool cloud with you Mulberry… And I noticed you’ve been watching Mad Men too? Those trenches… much nicer than those waif like Burberry Prorsum ones… And such striking colours, Mulberr… Like Candy… Anyways, gotta run do my nails… We’ll talk soon Mulberry,

Yours…

She would never wear beige [H&M lookbook A/W 2010]

(Couldn’t love this any mroe if I tried)

I don’t know how I haven’t seen some of these lookbook shots yet but I should say that I fair lost my shit when I did. Sadly I feel I’m almost over the camel cape thing (mm hmm, two weeks after getting mine… the fickle world) and aviator jackets are possibly going to be worn by the world and his mother come October (yes, I was late night shopping in Penneys last night… which was almost scarier than the movie I was on my way to).

H&M’s AW line is harking out to Celine and Chloe evidently, it’s all about silhoettes and shapes rather than letting the prints speak for themselves. It’s all very…dare I say… 30s. And I don’t mean the era. At the moment I’m for a fashion ball of supreeze -chic and tailored on the outside, possible madhouse escapee on the inside, hence why I’ll be sticking with jumpsuits, prints, tees and ruffles. You ain’t gonna see me near no high-waisted beige pant for at least another 20-30 years. You have my word.

She loved to say ‘I told you so’. [Asos.com trends hotlist]

Sarah Wilkinson, head of design at Asos.com compiled her ‘Hotlist’ for Autumn/Winter. It’s very much what I expected but take a look at the fantastic graphics to go along with it.I picked out five of the ten pieces, see the others here. (Click image to enlarge)

She wore hats. [Erin Wasson Style]

There’s not a fashion blogger out there who would nay say Erin Wasson’s personal style. The woman is a hundred times more captivating standing at the side of the road in jeans than she is half naked in a William Rast commercial.

Her style is going to be huge by the looks of things however it’s difficult to pull off.

You have to exert suaveness, with a touch of nonchalance and finish it off with a dash of diffidence. A challenge in any man’s language.

Failing that get yourself a big fur coat and a floppy hat and make eye contact with no one. See Acne’s pre SS collection beneath. Or get the look with AWear’s new boho range.

Her ‘key piece’ was her blankie.

There’s SFA I enjoy about the Autumn/Winter season here in Ireland (aka just winter). Only today did I wake up to the sunshine, joyfully pulled on a wee little lace dress and a pair of flat boots, content in the knowledge that I would look whispy and carefree for the day. Two hours later I was jumping over puddles and not-so-gracefully stumbling into a Brown Thomas press event.

However, I have literally peed my Provocateurs in excitement for this winter. And do you know why?…

Wool. Mmm hmm. Wool.

I don’t know what happened… Maybe on a subconscious level watching my mom k1 p2 a bonnet and cardi for my 3 month old niece has me in a state of regression? Or maybe it’s the catwalks that made wool look so damn warm and…wait for it… sexy?

Anyhoodlum, that’s just one of my many infats this season. Here’s the rest of the looks you’ll find me sporting from now until at least the end of May. Let’s get the wool out of the way first I suppose.

#1 Wool Onsie (Wonsie)

I think it’s fair to say my mother will be putting away the baby patterns and moving on to the big league this season. (D&G appearing in Elle)

#2 Chunky knit

I’ve never seen something like this look so damn sexy, and so this is the way I will be wearing ALL my chunky knits this season… Ok, I might add some tights and a hat… (Stella McCartney)

#3 Cape (or Capette)

I have this on hold in Warehouse as I type! Talk about your all-time cover up. It’s sacreligious that I haven’t invested in one already. (Warehouse)

#4 Holdups (and the Chinti & Parker lookbook in general)

Holdups, wedges and a massife chunky knit. What is not to love about this?? I’ve already bought two pairs in Topshop. Now to buy another five and rotate like the dickens! (Chinti and Parker)

#5 Utility pants

I like these, and I’m sick of jeans, therefore I should buy them, right? Right? (Topshop)

#6 F me shoes

Possibly my favourite thing about winter. Getting away with thigh high, stripper, or laced to the max leather boots, failing that, having a spine as a heel. Everything about winter shoeboots rocks my woolie socks off. (Dsquared)

#7 Maxi skirt/The new maxi dress

Right, I’ve tried this on. When the shop assistant handed it to me I thought; this chick knows as well as I know that this thing ain’t going near me, lest I look like the result of an apprentice meat packer’s first day alone with the machine. But I made my delicate way through the curtain with a nod and a wince, and pulled that mofo over my head on a wing and a prayer. Then I did a very subtle, but very real, dance. This dance means I like it. And into the ‘drobe it goes. (Warehouse)

#8 Grunge hair & make-up

I don’t look like this girl, but by God will I strive to.

So, what will you be wearing this season?
