Sister by Sibling Make The Best Hats & Scarves EVER

I LOVE THESE SOOOOOOOOO MUCH!!! And in case anyone's wondering (like I did), yes those awesome pom poms are faux fur - and detachable too although who'd want to take them off? They're OUTSTANDING.  

The whole edgy Sister by Sibling fair isle-skull-mouse-leopard print patterned knit thing is *so* awesome in fact that a very naughty high street retailer has attempted to rip it off. Not cool at all. Get yourself geared up for AW12 with the originals now before they're gone (they're already on low stock).

Sister by Sibling Fair Isle Leopard Double Pom Pom Hat, £190 and Fair Isle Leopard Double Scarf, £175 both at www.asos.com. 

PS. Click here to check out their SS12 sale stuff too - LOVE the HATE t's and jumpers :)

McQ Does Twilight Style For Pre-Fall 2012 Collection

McQ by Alexander McQueen has moved so far away from its denim diffusion line roots; it's still youthful and more affordable than Alexander McQueen mainline (although more expensive than it used to be, though I guess that's to be expected when you start using eg. silks instead of denims) but the designs are nothing like the street wear we've seen from this label in the past. The only theme which seems to remain from McQ's early days is the occasional nod to rockabilly styling and silhouettes.

The McQ Pre-Fall 2012 collection has just gone on sale today and draws heavily on the British fashion house's signature gothic glamour, mixed with a hearty dose of Twilight style inspiration in some of the key pieces, like this wolf print Silk Satin Wolf Rockabilly Dress, £610, and the eerie, scratchy, smokey monochrome x-ray motif of the Black X-Ray Cap Sleeved Dress, £210 also pictured above.

Check the collection out online now at www.alexandermcqueen.co.uk/mcq/ - I'm all over the blood red safety pin knit dress (£275) and the black zip kilt (£300) is a modern classic.  Sarah Burton is totally smashing it with her McQ makeover right now - and just wait til you see the AW12 collection...
