A for Alexa?
Post by CM By now you all know that Alexa Chung has collaborated with Marks and Spenser on a collection inspired by 70s archives and her own childhood memories. It launched yesterday to mostly positive reactions, with expectations for sell-outs particularly online, but what does this humble mouse think? Well. We can’t forget that this […]
MoreNude Revolution
Post by CM What do you think of when you see the word nude? Busty ladies performing burlesque perhaps? Masterful paintings of women reclining on velvet chaises longues maybe? Not me!

MoreMeet Anthony Vaccarello, YSL’s new prince

While its origins are very 70s, very hippy, the current incarnation is a bit more varied, a little more ruffled and structured. With the shoulder exposing look still […]
MoreTrending: Backpacks
Post by CM Back when we were little mice, the tendency to dress us in similar, but not matching outfits led to TM donning mostly blue and yours truly mostly pink.
