Farrah's alive!

As the trend for everything 1970s continues on London's streets (including recession, under-age sex and mysterious itches down below), it seems that THE woman of the decade, Farrah Fawcett, has risen from the dead to shimmy down the King's Road in a pair of flares. Oh wait, its actually that blimming Aussie Elle Macpherson! Elle, not only does everyone hate you for looking 22 when in fact you are almost 50, but you also dress impossibly catwalk-fresh for the school run. Amazing. We love the gold watch, and adore the belt. As for the hair, are you trying to steal Cheryl's Elnett contract from under her Geordie nose, Elle?

Lea and her hideous technicolor vomit-coat

As if her ship-sized nose and cavernous mouth weren't bad enough, Lea Michelle decided yesterday to accentuate these 'features' by wearing a rainbow monstrosity in some sort of homage to her character Rachel's idol Barbara Streisand. The fact that Lea was in character, filming scenes for the Glee season two finale, is no excuse. We repeat, no excuse. The coat is just as annoying as the woman wearing it. Yes, we are being extra mean today, but who said fashion was friendly?

Style Crush: Isabel Lucas

Ah Isabel Lucas. Having experienced every Aussie's TV training, Home and Away, Isabel Lucas is now on the Hollywood radar following her role in Transformers 2. But who cares about her acting ability when she is so close to stealing Alexa Chung's style crown! A fan of 70s boho, Isabel's style is reminiscent of 'early Sienna' circa 2004, when Miller wouldn't leave the house without that tatty grey maxi (don't remember? picture below). In any case, Lucas is our latest summer style crush... well, until Chung pulls something out the bag.

Cotton Candy

We don't often talk about Fearne Cotton here at Style Artillery, but just look at her super 70s shoot for very.co.uk! The thought of socks with sandals used to make us think of our old Maths teacher on holiday, but no longer! Hooray! As for sunglasses indoors, Fearne is clearly a girl after our own heart (always best before noon). Please also note the orange dress, THE colour of summer 2011 - just as we predicted. It's tough being right, but someone has to do it.

Shingai Suprise

Remember when Style Artillery told you that orange was big news this season? No? Well it is -as perfectly presented by Noisettes singer Shingai Shoniwa at last night's Fashion For Relief pop-up shop opening in London's Westfield. Not only that, but she wore a crazy-ass golden headdress which we love love love. The shoes, however, have a lot to be desired. Sorry Shingai. Open for the next ten days, Naomi Campbell's pop-up shop (complete with a celebrity shop-girl) will be selling pieces from previous Fashion For Relief shows, including designs by Vivienne Westwood and Christopher Kane. Better get down there quick!

PS - Wouldn't it be scary asking Naomi for a refund?

Open Letter to Taylor Momsen

Hi Taylor.

Um, how about trying a new look for a change?

The sun is shining, Spring has officially sprung, and you're attending the Kids Choice Awards. Why not ditch the black, sour face and leather and dress a little less like the lovechild of Cher and Christina Aguilera. What's that? You're trying to cause a fuss and be a bad influence?

Apologies. As you were.
