Apologies if these photos are OFN, I only saw them a couple of days ago, but they've been swimming about the internet for a while. Actually they've been swimming around the world for a while since all...

It's going to be sort of a Miss L Fire week here, because, you know, they deserve it. They're inspired by classic vintage styles, but unlike buying actually shoes from the '40s and '50s these come in...
View Article'THE WICKED + THE DIVINE VOL. 2' TRAILER
We LOVE The Wicked +The Divine, our favourite superhero/rock god comic from Jamie McKelvie and Kieron Gillen. So we were very flattered when they asked us to use our song Pink Summer on the trailer for...

MOM JEANS. No matter how much I love my MOM JEANS (a lot) I will never be able to wear them, or see other women wearing similar styles, without thinking of this SNL sketch starring Amy Poehler, Tina...
View ArticleBOSS WOMEN: ANNA WINTOUR
I watch a lot of fashion documentaries. And yes I also watch The City and Kell On Earth every couple of years because they're just that good. I'm going to do a post about my favourites soon, but to...
View ArticleOUR NEW VIDEO FOR 'YOU'RE GONE'
Here's our new video for our next single. 'You're Gone'. I had a lot of fun being green for a day, sticky blood all around my mouth, hanging out with some brilliant women from the Croydon and London...
View ArticleBAR LUCE - THE WES ANDERSON CAFE
While in Milan recently we visited Fondazione Prada, an art gallery space where Wes Anderson has designed a cafe. This is Bar Luce, and it's a bit of a stunner. Rather than being a pristine,...

Talk of festival fashion irks me slightly. Not that I think there's anything wrong with getting excited about what you're going to wear somewhere, and planning outfits for festivals is much like...
View ArticlePIZZA AND GELATO IN MILAN
So when we were in Milan we ate a lot of pizza and gelato. Actually we ate nothing but pizza and gelato, because that's how we holiday. I've made a list of my favourite places to eat those two...
View ArticleSTYLE DISSECTION: VIRGIN SUICIDES
Don’t argue with me on this one: The Virgin Suicides, Sofia Coppola's 1999 debut feature, is a masterpiece. It's a poignant portrayal of white middle class suburbia, where the cloying summer humidity...
View ArticlePILOTS PODCAST - EPISODE 11 'THE OC'
GUYS OUR PODCAST IS BACK. This time Anne and I talked in depth about whether or not Sandy Cohen is hot, where did Ryan get all his vests from? and if it's OK if I name a boat after Anne. Man, it...
View ArticlePINK DENIM
I definitely think that a band called Pink Denim would be a great band. They would have formed in Cincinnati in the '80s, been the peers of The Replacements, and made songs about wanting to live by...

Had a great day out in Margate this week with a sea swimmer I know and love. We went to Grayson Perry's Provincial Punk at the Turner Contemporary - he's my favourite artist by a million miles at the...
View ArticleSTARS ON STARS
A very small post, tiny in fact, all I want to do is mention the fact ASOS have made these berry coloured suede shorts, with star buttons, and this furry star cape. That's it. No more. As you were.

It feels like so long ago we were in Milan in the 35 degree heat, eating pizza and gelato, and wasting time in the Wes Anderson cafe (which also had air conditioning and free wi-fi - score). I'd never...
View ArticleTHE MUSIC AND STYLE OF THE GO-GOS
When I think of the Go-Go's I don't really think “Punk.” I think of pastels and America's sweethearts and puffy shoulder pads. Five young women singing about “having the beat,” which I think is what...
View ArticleSTYLE DISSECTION: BLAIR WALDORF
I'm watching Gossip Girl for the first time after covering the pilot in my podcast with Miss. Donahue. What a ridiculous show, it's a glossy soap opera about the "lives of Manhattan's elite", yet...

That thing where you're not ready to wear black tights yet but are so ready to wear big coats. Winter on top summer on bottom? No that sounds weird. Summer Bottom could be the name of a...

After doing a deep cut on Ms. Waldorf's outfits last week I had a go at putting together something similar to what she wears. I was thrilled/concerned to realise I had all the neccessary components...

I studied the Suffragette movement at school in sixth form, and while I found it interesting I don't think I really understood how important and difficult a time that was for women in Britain. Most of...
