Autumn’ 08 Candy – Women

Trousers can be tailored, straight-cut and following this season’s hottest cut, wide-legged. Mango is selling every type including a sexy high-waisted pair we fell in love with (thanks Tina!)

Patterns follow the much-hyped tartan revival and floral prints are still in, so don’t be afraid to pair your beloved spring dresses with opaque tights, blouses, cardigans and t-shirts. It’s all about layering.

Shoes this season, sadly for me, make no room for kitten heels. We will be seeing the highest platforms and most severe killer heels. New Look has a gorgeous collection, and if I get pass how painful they look I may be tempted!

Be Fashionable, Be Green

Do you keep buying clothing that you only wear a couple of times? It is time to be fashionable and still love our planet, Fashion Limbo knows how:

1. Buy vintage: Not only it is a growing trend amongst “fashionistas”, but it is also a great way of refreshing your look. Second-hand shops are full of gems, it is cheap and so eco-friendly. Want to browse? Try Ebay.
2. Re-invent your wardrobe: Go through your own personal collection and try to re-discover items you haven’t worn in a long time. Add key accessories such as big belts, or brooches, scarves and long necklaces, or even a vintage waistcoat. You could be happily surprised.
3. Organise your own “swap” party: Bring all your friends together for a drink, a bit of networking and a slice of fashion swapping by exchanging items you wear no more for others you could look fabulous in. It is absolute fun, great for the credit crunch and … Fashion Limbo will be organising one soon, so keep looking!

Get the Genius – Vivienne Westwood

Who? Dame Vivienne Westwood, born in Derbyshire in 1941, she is the mother to one of Agent Provocateur funders, Joseph Corre. She epitomises punk in fashion, as she invented the entire look. She did this from the shop of husband of the time, The Sex Pistols’ manager Malcolm McLaren

We love: the Red Label spring/summer collection for 2008, ultra sexy, and this year’s men swimwear is fantastic.

We diss: absolutely nothing. She is a role model

A sample? Just pick one of her dresses, it will make any woman look absolutely gorgeous. That is a guarantee.
