Siobhan Fahey

Is 52. Honestly.

So everyone is now going to jump on Shakespear's Sister now after Cher "Sponsored by Sharpie" Lloyd's little dabble with Stay on the X, but thats fine. I can live with it. Its only one of my favourite songs/videos ever.... and she didn't massacre it thankfully. Whatever. I want to talk about Siobhan.

52. Really she is. I had a massive crush on her growing up, not gonna lie.

Just appreciate the look.

so Paris saw the return of Balmain and the question on everyone's lips (I'm guessing) is HOW THE BEJESUS IS DECARNIN GOING TO CREATE A COLLECTION THAT EVEN EQUALS THE SUCCESS AND MAINSTREAM OSMOSIS OF S/S 09??

I obviously can't answer that but I did enjoy the show. A trend across many of this season's collections has been the military influence, coupled with burnished embellishments - lending from armour and hardware. The eponymous shoulders are back too with frayed dresses in texturised/studded rubber. Quite a dark collection for Summer season in terms of palette but I think its undoubtedly strong and has plenty to offer the high street diffusions. I can't help thinking SNAKES & SCALES are an influence too?

Here be my favourite pieces...

Stop! Thief!

Yeah, that'll be me if I manage to get anywhere near this golden beauty, shown at Kate Eary's show for MAN at LFW (which was AWESOME incidentally). Hello criminal record.

Her show was impeccably styled - rope motifs and golden epaulettes, mixed with graphic depictions of human internal organs, all on show as well as some truly stunning golden metal masks, mostly incomplete. Just stunning. Right up my magpie-esque street.

Peaches G on the front row, stomping in late, deliberately attached to her Blackberry, not so much. Ungrateful little blighter...

so my new necklace arrived. YEAH!

A Me and Zena treat just because its SEPTEMBER.

Aldo accessories

are getting a bit ridiculous at the moment!

Most bracelets are under a tenner and VERY friendly to the eyes. Et voila...
