It's just, a little crush...

From all the daily requests you get on Facebook, it would be near impossible not to be aware of the phenomenon that is, Candy Crush!

Nope, thankfully not the game (seriously, get a life people) but the sweet-as-chocolate-boy hue that graced the AW13 catwalk. With the fashion pack moving on from candyfloss hair (when that bird from X Factor requested ‘pink’ to her hairdresser, you knew it was well and truly done) and has since moved on to become the colour of choice to wear.

We are talking sickly sweet, make the boys wink, PINK! Seen at Moschino Cheap & Chic, Miu Miu, Jonathan Saunders and Carven (that satin ruched number I need, no NEED) is all about femininity with a kick- smashing it,  full on, Chloe Moretz style. From tailored suits with punky-trimmed black and platform creepers, figure hugging and scowling, fluffy and fetish and witchy polka dot- it is the colour in which everyone can find a shade that suits.  

And if you can’t, well I’ll join the masses on the morning commute and crush some serious candy.

Midi ground.

It’s time to get dignified ladies! Skirt hems are falling, pass the thigh, creeping below the knee, further down the shin, yep keeping going, further… there it is-the midi has returned!

Straight and tight or high-waisted and A-line, the midi length has come back with a vengeance after slutty Sandy discarded hers for a pair of spray-on leather trews. But this look has come a long way since mumsy, middle age suburbia. Now the likes of Miu Miu, Vivienne Westwood, Moschino Cheap & Chic and Louis Vuitton are showcasing the 50’s throwback with SS13 being the season of the middle ground. Even Rihanna has started to cover up her best assets (on occasion) by using the white Gucci number as her choice of disguise. Wear with strappy heels, a crisp tied shirt and your best abs- just because the skirt has gone low, doesn't mean the top has to. Keep hair in a top knot, the clutch boxy and the lips bright- and remember from now on; no-one puts midi in the corner.  

Chloe Sevigny + Miu Miu = Match Made in Heaven

Mary Janes and Pant Suits OH MY. 

One of our faves, Chloe Sevigny, is back as the face of Miu Miu for a/w '13, having first graced the brand with her fab'o'lus'ness back in 1996 on their s/s campaign. This time round she's dressed head to toe in hyper print trouser-suits, which undoubtedly will now feature on every cover of every magazine from now until next year. 

Love it. Love her. Wanna Be her.
