Twinkle toes

These festive footwear numbers* caught our eye today in Carnaby Street. The question is, what are they doing hanging out in the window of Office? Surely they should be dangling from our tree or decorating our feet? Naughty shoes.

*Ok, they're actually mens shoes but we don't discriminate...

Cute stuff: Little red shoes

M & S sent us a picture of these, ahem, heartbreaking shoes. A little bit Wizard of Oz, a little bit Moschino, a little bit Vivienne Westwood for Melissa. Just add a short velvet dress and glittery ankle socks.

Coat check

Coats in August- are we mad? No, very sensible actually. We weren't looking for coats in River Island, but before we knew it, something was sucking us in and making us try them on. We fell in love with this one - fabulously fifties shape, detachable furry collar and what we're calling 'glove-length' sleeves - stopping just above the wristbone to show off a snazzy pair of gloves, perhaps with buttons up the side? Oh, and please don't miss the Cecil Beaton wallpaper in the fitting room - how very couture salon!

Cute stuff alert!

We can't help it, we just can't resist cute stuff. Cartoon graphics, kooky stationery, novelty make-up, we love it all. At the A/W Tammy press day we were all over the accessories, in particular, the mirror keyrings in the shape of old-school cameras and sunglasses with mini-lipglosses attached. And how disco-licious is the pink metallic make-up bag? Bring it on!

Trend alert: Snoods

Brace yourself for the invasion of the Burberry snood. Come September it will be everywhere. Hell, it's everywhere now!

Graphic tees by Gio Goi

Applique tees by Numph

We told you the black sequin blazer was everywhere!

Love this knit-print tee by Therapy. Price is good too (£20)...

Trendspotting at Tesco aw09-10

Tesco tell us they have stepped up a gear and are going for full-on fashion instead of playing it safe. Amen to that. We liked the animal-prints in pink that were all over the shop, as well as the faux leather biker jacket (we thought it was real!) at a mere 30 quid.

Adore the bow detail on the back of this gem of a jacket...



Fancy a black sequin blazer for next season? Believe us, you'll be spoilt for choice...

AW/09: Alexander McQueen

Another fab find at the a/w 09 press days - Alexander McQueen tights! How much fun could you have with these?

Plus more goodies from the McQueen factory - we can see these filtering down to TopShop/River Island/New Look faster than you can say 'glam rock rebel'...
