The Joys of Autumn/Winter.

Well. It's got fucking cold hasn't it?

Not that we're complaining. A/W is clearly the chicer of the seasons. And it is our belief that there is one particular reason for this:


Black suits everyone. Yes, this is a very archaic ethos, but the fact is, if a few more people wore black, or even just a darker palette altogether, the world would be a lot sleeker place.

Jesus, I know (0f) a few individuals in love with colours that match the saturation of their FakeBake; and frankly I would be very grateful of a splash of black here and there. For the sake of my judgmental eyes, at least. And this season, it seems, the powers that be have granted us freedom from the guilt of wearing head-to-toe black. Winner.

So PURRRLEASE go and purchase your leather biker jackets, your PVC leggings, your kohl liner, your Jaeger capes - And if you simply must have colour, make it of the dark jewel variety - the deepest purple, rouge noir, emerald green, cobalt blue, whatever. Cease that inner goth, take her to one side and inform her that it's her chance to shine; she knows it's what she's always wanted, none of this 'I'm different, leave me alone to worship *shitemoband* in peace', beause this simply will not do.
Note to reader: Please, if practicing HTT black, mix up the textures/fabrics, you might end up looking cheap, or worse: unknowing.

Anyhoos. Back to the weather. It's cold. This is a good thing because we get to lust after things what are very sexual indeed:

Hi. Our name is Circus and we are Moschino addicts. We have been clean for too long.

Love the embellishment on the shoulders of the dark grey peacoat, and equally the ruffled panelling and velvet trim on the gorgeous blue coat.


Rossella Jardini, we heart you very much.












PS. Check out the orgasm-inducing boots.













Our other A/W crush is on Rick Owens. Notably, this very-close-to-two-grand-but-woth-every-penny coat:

We also very much like the leather chaps that it was paired with for the runway show, and were seen on Jourdan Dunn in the September issue of i-D, but fear the the how's and where's of wearing them:
















Super-Godlike rock chick-ness. We rest our case (CR with opening paragraphs)

And speaking of:



One can never have too many pairs of black leather biker boots. These ones, by the ever-wonderful Miu Miu are on Net-a-porter and are £540, but look at them. Just look at them. For those inclined they have some gorgeous patent flat boots too, at £355.


Hmm we want these boots so much. It shall test the boyfriend.
One very special word:


CHRISTMAS.






We're bad with goodbyes, so we will end this post with some Margiela inspiration...




Love you, Miss you.
