Completely nailing the pastel and print trend, at mega affordable prices is Lavish Alice, with a brilliant selection of prints and patterns. The fruit print vest is a direct descendant of Dolce and Gabanna’s summer range, whilst the little bird print vest is perfectly Prada.
Wonderfully, the prices are almost teeny, with £20 for each of these little beauties. Just enough to pop on with jeans to embrace this season’s trend without feeling as though your bank manager is personally going to come round and squeeze every last drop out of you.

I do like a bit of Lego, in particular this recreation of arch baddie and frail old tyrant Rupert Murdoch being custard pie-d during the phone hacking hearings.
Pie Eyed!
check out the rest of the year’s events, all Lego-fied and enjoy a nice bit of nostalgia!

**it's behind you!
I know that revenge is meant to be sweet, but this is just plain sticky and revolting. A woman in the states was tattooed with a steaming poo complete with flies buzzing around it, by her ex boyfriend who had discovered her cheating on him with his best friend. Not a teensy weensy blink and you’ll miss it, kind of tattoo, but right over her back. Ew. The woman is suing her ex unsurprisingly, saying he got her drunk and promised to tattoo something very different on her. A scene from Narnia, apparently (the scene where Aslan does a big plop?) What a disaster.

Bag or Fish?
Marks and Spencers are in the soup (bouillabaisse?) for causing a stink with a handbag this week. The silver, metallic effect little number is emitting a large dose of eau de kipper, much to customers distaste, and a number of the offending pieces of arm (not)candy have been returned to the store, a M&S spokesman confirmed.
Perhaps the bag, which costs an unlikely £25 is held together with Copydex or something. For that kind of money, it can’t be made with leather and has probably been glued rather than sewn. One might hope that M&S, a great British company would be above such things. Let’s just hope their staple undies are a little fresher.

And here's one I grew earlier!
I love a full face of hair, the curlier and the more mutton choppy the better. And entering the newly termed month of Movember, all gents will be able to grow a silky, fluffy or even bushy protrusion of facial hair with the express aim of raising awareness and funds for two of the leading men’s cancers, prostrate and testicular.
Anyone capable of growing a beard should register their cleanly shaven faces on the first of November at Movember.com, and then toss away their razor for the rest of the month and see what what fine facial fluffiness emerges. The hope is that through a fair bit of sponsorship men’s charities will get some desperately needed support. And men everywhere will resdiscover the marvel of the moustache, the beauty of the beard and the greatness of the goatee……I can hardly wait!

Rose tinted tee!
I hope it’s not too treacherous to say that summer seems to have come to a blustery and soggy end? The washing has taken a nose dive off the line, and the geraniums are shivering with their petals scattered all around them. So, just for a last blast of sunshine, here’s a lovely summery number from designer Richard Nicoll, available from Net-a-Porter. A wonderful silk crepe de chine long sleeved t-shirt, with an amazingly vivid print produced in collaboration with punk artist Linder Sterling. Summer may be well and truly over, but the tee goes on!

Fuzzy Fest!
Oh joy of joys! Probably….no scrap that…definitely the best childhood toy ever is still around. Yesterday’s flick through the Letterbox catalogue revealed more than just a penchant for sticking your name onto absolutely everything, including my absolute favourite, a jelly mould. On closer inspection, I found the stuff that childhoods were made of, Fuzzy Felt! Was there ever anything more fun than creating a battle scene in little felty pieces, or spending hours making a little park? Oh those were the days. So for a little nostalgia, I’d suggest you invest in a bit of fuzzy felt for a Christmas gift for kids, nephews and nieces, not very grown up adults, or just for yourself, and that fuzzy wuzzy feeling!

Pretty or Plain Smart?
Girls t-shirts seem to cause far more trouble that their male counterparts with latest to tie parental knickers in a twist coming from the States. The slogan on a t-shirt from J.C. Penney reads “I’m too pretty to do my homework, so my brother has to do it for me”. On the retailers website, the marketing blurb says “Who has time for homework when there’s a new Justin Bieber album out? She’ll love this tee that’s just as cute and sassy as she is.”
Once again, parents are livid that their daughters are being encouraged via the sartorial medium of t-shirt slogan to be nothing more than skinny, pretty and underachieving. But is it really the t-shirts fault? Slogans that reflect ideas already rife in the media are an easy target, but probably not the root of all evil. And anyway, who would buy a t-shirt that read “I’m going to do my homework because I’m a good girl and I’m going to be a doctor”? OK, maybe they would, but would children want to wear them? The controversial will always the most appealing, and the more rebellious the better. And anyway, what’s wrong with getting someone else to do your homework? It worked for me!

For the Stylish Ear!
Only my mother would send me a large red pair of Earbags, which are like little sleeping bags. For ears. They arrived in the post yesterday and when I tried them on, I looked like Mr Spock in disguise or a fairy with a cold. Not all that flattering, and yet just the sort of practical thing my mother is famous for. I just know that the next time it’s cold and I forget a hat, or get a snowball in my ear or the like, my mother will be on the phone, asking me why I wasn’t wearing my earbags. Well, because I don’t want to look like a vulnerable Vulcan, mother, that’s why.
So, I have to store my earbags in the glove compartment of my car, next to the airbags. I know I’ll end up wearing them, and being grudgingly grateful for them; mothers always being right, of course!

Just Hoofing Around!
The average woman will spend £31,000 on shoes in a lifetime…allegedly. Although I’m sure if you asked any women they would strenuously deny it, whilst doing shifty eye movements as they calculate how far above average they come in. Shoes are arguably the most important part of an outfit, so these be-hoofed lovelies, especially made to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Cheltenham festival this week should have you first past the post in the fashion stakes.
Commissioned by Betfair, the boots are lovingly made with real horsehair and cost a mere £1300, only a few percent of your lifetime budget, so well worth every penny, and all the money goes to charity, so it’s more of a donation than a purchase.
What I love about these boots is how they really suit having heels; there’s a real equine elegance to them. I shouldn’t be surprised if they catch on in the real world. Take that Christian Louboutin!
