Linking



One day I will tidy up my links, get rid of all the dead ones and replace them with shiny new ones. But, I need the time to do it. Actually, scratch that, I will do it by next weekend. That’s a promise!

PS, if you want to be linked, put a comment here…

UPDATE: I did it! All the links are up…finally. Phew.



AW 08-09 trend report: Urban Outfitters





My, what a lot of goodies there were at the Urban Outfitters press day. Red seems to be the big colour with red cords (yes, cords are back big time) from See by Chloe and two darling little-red-riding-hood coats from Sonia by Sonia Rykiel and Karen Walker. Oh and how could I forget these amazing red leopard print knit tights – genius, I’ll take four!



Flouncy mini skirts continue to crop up as does more black lace, so clearly there’s no sign of the eighties obsession abating any time this decade.


On the accessories front it’s all about these Melissa for Vivienne Westwood hook-ups or, if you’re anticipating the credit crunch affecting your funds, these patent bow hair clips should give you a fashion fix without the cashflow crisis. Plus I adore this purple knitted belt – only Sonia Rykiel could come up with that…


The big news is that ‘Urb’ will be stocking Luella from next season – altogether now, Whoop-de-doo!



Quote of the day




“It’s a duchesse satin stole, champagne, specially made. She’s not wrapped in something skimpy. She had her jeans on. She looked at the screen and loved the picture.”
Vanity Fair fashion and style director Michael Roberts gets in a tizz over the brouhaha surrounding Miley Cyrus and the ‘bedsheet’ scandal



If you know me, don’t let me know




Silly me. There was I, blogging away like Billy-O, reprimanding slack PRs, pooh-poohing lack-lustre collections and generally being my usual, outspoken self under the anonymous guise of Disneyrollergirl. In my inner circle I’m well known for my un-PC opinions and foot-in-mouth gaffes and to say I don’t suffer fools gladly is putting it rather tamely, so an anony-blog is the only way to blog for me if I’m to keep on the right side of the PRs who make my job possible. Therefore I was a bit perplexed to hear one of my fashion-industry buddies mention something she read on my blog. “Er…What!?! It’s anonymous, how do you know it was my blog?” “Oh, someone sent it to me…” Eek! WelI as it happens, I didn’t mind that particular person knowing my ID, she’s a journo not a PR so no harm done and my rep’s still intact but if anyone out there knows my ID, please keep it under wraps, I certainly don’t want to know about it!
