today, darlings, i am not screaming news, for i am just too tired to write anything. i could rack my brains, and you'd probably get something of the density of a cup-a-soup.all i wanted is to post this picture, and rave on how much i love it. it, of coursestarts with audrey hepburn.miss hepburn. miss style. miss big sunglasses, eating croissants and going on holidays in italy. and then theres the hair-god just look at it. i dont need to write. just look.its fabulous.

where did the '80s go?
we remember last summer dont we? from primark glow-in-the-dark neon legwarmers, to balmains fabulous glitzy shoulder pads,nearly everyone was channeling the '80s. well,i have news for you,retro is still in.
but stop before you reach for your acidwash!
but stop before you reach for your acidwash!
this spring, it seems the designers had gone back another decade-the '70s.
from louis vuittons gravity defeying afros, the *god i must shudder* double denim, celine and even chanels big wooden platforms,even to elles prediction of the 'sexy surfer' trend.
but none,none channled it more than new-yorks minimalistic alexander wang.
he's got the inspro from that 'sexy bording school '70s girl-all out americana'
and dont worry,its not all that clich'e reworked classics thing all over again,and if it,its pretty damn good.
it was all tousled blonde plaits, grey marl sweater-type thigs-and leather shorts.Get your tracky bottoms out,but wear them rolled up with bashed up leather and zips. and socks,darlings you must have socks.everyone was wearing socks.

'fashion is a form of ugliness so unbearable we are forced to alter it every 6 months'-oscar wilde
'only a demented alien horse would wear them shoes'
the first thing, i have decided to talk about is what i am simply referring to as 'them' shoes. By 'them', i of course mean the Alexander Mcqueen shoe. the shoe. like an intergalactic space-hoof they came, towering over us at 12 inches tall. after first seeing them in the V BIBLE, i fell in catwalk love.
though,to my bewilderment,theirs been a controversy over them
ive heard everything from:
'there utterly beautiful'
'ewwwww'
'it looks like an alienn
foot'
i tried to tell them-'darlings,it underwater inspired darwin evloution galactica' but i failed to enlighten them.weep.weep. but this raises a whole over discussion about fashion,dosn't it?
in my opinon,fashion is an art form. its not meant to be beautiful, or even in some cases worn (jean paul gautier cage veils, for example). its an expression of emotion.it makes us gasp and cry or smile.
hell yeah its ironic
but wouldnt we get bored if it wasn't?
