You're my river running high, run deep, run wild

Wedge High Top.

Summer staple.

Hennessy and enemies is one hell of a mixture

 Leather sleeves

Do it with fur, with parka, with black, with letterman, with suede, with fringe, with everything and everyone until the end of summer. Amen.

Addicted to a certain kind of sadness

Spotted these on topshop.com today.

Bermuda shorts.

Weird.

I half thought I had ended up topman, and in acid wash? Retro.

Can they work?

I think you need to go extremely casual with this look.

And maybe throw on one of shutterbugs fab army jackets for good measure!

But, to be honest, I think if you're going to go Bermuda I think you should avoid the denim.

Take heed from the wise ones...

Nothing like a bit of scandal to shake up the fashion world.

Galliano, you pup.

Who will replace him? We shall have to wait and see. Personally the rumours about Riccardo Tisci make me sad. I absolutely adore what he has done with Givenchy and would like to see him remain there for a few more seasons, so we can have more of this...

Finger tattoos. I want one. They look amazing with ring clad hands and bright nail polish. I will soon build up the courage to get one.

NastyGal.com I now wonder why I've ever shopped anywhere else. Works out relatively cheep even with customs and shipping. Love.

Adele track by track interview. She's so down to earth and bravely honest that it's impossible to dislike her.

Anna Wintour. In. Jeans.

I thought she slept in Prada.

Jeffery Campbell Lita. I want them in any and every colour. Please and thank you.

Ahhh, it's good to be back.

Instead of packing, I've been trying to find inspiration for what to pack.

Ever practical.

knitted shorts, belted fur, buttoned up shirts, pinafores and turbans

Hanging so high for your return but, the stillness is a burn

So nude is in. I'm sure you've noticed, it's everywhere. It's uber-feminine and sexay in that you essentially look like you're wearing skin. Underwear as outerwear is pretty damn sexay too. I'll give these trends a bash for the craic. Well, I've been doing the nude thing for a while, it's so girly and simply chic. What I'm more interested in is the variations on salmon and pink that have infected the high street though. I want creams, beiges and golds to mix with my pinks. I want this:

I want Celine!:

Instead I'll settle for:

Things start splitting at the seams

I've always thought I should have been born in a different time. The 1930's or 1940's perhaps. I love all that glamour. The curled hair, red lipstick, pale skin is such a classic look.

I can only imagine what people will think of the trends of the 2000's.

Leggings that cut off half-way down your calf.

Rip offs of the 80's, and anyone who was there the first time knows it wasn't even a good idea then.

The skinniest of jeans, so skinny that they've reached a new level and become infused with leggings to become 'jeggings', I nearly threw up in my mouth just typing that word.

Ed Hardy and various oh so witty slogan t-shirts. If I see 'If found please return to the pub' on one more boys chest I think I may scream.

Velour tracksuits with phrases such as 'Juicy,' 'Bad Gal,' 'Sexy,' and 'Delicious,' written across ones bottom. Classy? I think not.

Uggs, sheep on your feet.

I'm beginning to think that Lady Gaga may be the Twiggy of the 2000's. Better her than Xtina's crotchless leathers or a WAG.

Wanting everything just to start at the ending

The 80's have fully returned, it is now official. First came the neon colours, the shoulder pads, the jumpsuits, the jean jacket, the floral tights, the harem pant, the acid wash jean, and now, to top it all off the infamous Gaultier conical bra.

This particular style was made famous by none other than the Queen of pop music, turned overly muscular cougar, Madonna. As illustrated here:

Now, it made its return with the rest of the 80's throwbacks, actually a couple of seasons ahead, in Gaultiers' Spring/Summer 2008 collection:

And again, in Spring/Summer 2010 where the cones were not only bras but also, shoulder pads, and faux pregnancy bumps, I kid you not.

Which begs one to wonder how, in the dying embers of the 80's trend, the conical bra makes it's comeback now? When we were just getting rid of the floral leggings and neon (the shoulder pads and harem pant I like, come to thing of it I'm also partial to a bit of acid wash, but, that's beside the point).

Well anyway, she what wore it first is to blame, therefore blame Dita.

Fortunately she, being Dita Von Teese, can pull it off, it's when Penneys start selling them for a fiver that an epidemic shall ensue.

And when that happens, try to remember nodding along to this post when you're heading to the till with a acid wash, neon coloured, conical bra in one hand and a pair of 3 euro slippers in the other.
