This Week, Music Is 'In'

Oh and so are really trendy weed-print crop tops.

A weekly roundup of anything fashion-related that's made us excited about having bodies that we can dress with clothes.

This week I've decided to do a special music-themed Fashion Tidbits, partly because there's been a lot of amazing music released by some well-dressed people, and partly because I now have control of the stereo system at work and I'm really enjoying the power. I hope you just love it.

SUGABABES STEAL HER STYLE

So, The Sugababes 2.0 – AKA MKS (I hope you understand that) – reunited to play a show last night in London which I missed (cry) but apparently it was great. This got me thinking, if the Sugababes 2.0 – AKA MKS – are making a fully-blown comeback, which they definitely are, shouldn't we immediately be trying to steal their style? Not so much their style now, because a bustier and a "lip" is kind to nobody who isn't Christina Aguilera (who am I kidding, it's so unkind to Christina Aguilera) but their style from back in the "Overload" days when they all looked like they'd just stepped off the cover of The Face. First pick your member, then follow the relevant tip – you'll be bullying Heidi and dropping out of stuff quicker than you can say "Freak Like Me":

SIOBHAN – The rarest 'babe, you're the third most aggressive member of the band. Get the look with a blotted peach lip and a pale eye shadow, think Gwyneth in Great Expectations but 100 percent less W.A.S.P-y.
KEISHA – You're like the Posh Spice of Big Chill Festival in 2004. A blend of any silver and gold jewellery from the floor of the Freedom section in Topshop will do. It doesn't really matter as long as your hair is did.
MUTYA – You can channel Mutya whenever wherever, a bit of creamy violet eye shadow, lipliner and over-plucked brows will help, but really you just need to glare from a distance and you're good.

CONVERSE WANT TO TATTOO YOU AND BURST YOUR EARDRUMS

Gigs and sneakers, they go together pretty perfectly, right? There’s something so satisfying about turning a cream sneaker black in the 45 minutes it takes to watch your favourite band. It’s not that surprising then, that Converse have decided to grab the London music scene by the shoulders and shake it up this month, to celebrate their new collection of leather, studded distressed sneakers. Never ones to hold back, they’re putting on a bunch of exclusive gigs in central London. Evidently rock ‘n’ roll sneakers need a rock ‘n’ roll launch party, which is why Converse have taken over Soho tattoo parlour "The Circle" in a celebration of all things, creative, rebellious and loud. Not only can you head over to the parlour and check out a selection of the country's best artists, you might also be lucky enough to find yourself at one of the gigs they’re hosting in the basement. Judging by the line-up (which includes Bring Me The Horizon, just FYI), you might want to skip wearing your fresh new trainers. Actually forget I ever said that, a little sweat and stomping never hurt anybody. Oh, and a little headbanging and yelling never did, either.

TWIGS' NEW VIDEO IS FREAKY HOT

Okay, so I know this isn't strictly fashion, but Tidbits has basically devolved into a list of things I think about, and I'm thinking about this quite a lot, so… If you don't remember Twigs' last video, which was a body and a giant version of that red flower they have on every table of every Pizza Express, then you should watch it now in order to be able to remember it and be like "Oh yeah, I do remember that, it was amazing." Following on from that, Jesse Kanda has directed the video for her new track "Water Me" which I've been listening to on repeat for TWO HOURS although I swear it wasn't me who left that comment underneath saying they'd been listening to it on repeat for two hours. Anyway, if you ever needed a reason to shove a gold earring into your septum and pretend it's pierced, plait your hair and cry tears of crystal mucus, it's here.

OMIGHTY

If you're one of those people who doesn't actually care about music, but you love derivitive, diluted, commodified versions of musicians' styles, you'll be pleased to know you can buy every single thing Brooke Candy's ever worn or even momentarily considered wearing, thanks to new eye-achingly over-considered kookee clothes website OMIGHTY. In case you'd ever been kept up at night wondering where you could find a matching crop top and mini skirt in weed print, or a halterneck that said PUSSY, or anything which looks remotely like Lizzie McGuire would have worn it to an Azealia Banks show, then you're in luck. Sort youself out with a whole bunch of what your grandparents would correctly refer to as "tat".

OH YEAH AND…

Some people lost their minds over a bunch T-shirts. This is a joke right?
