When shit gets surreal....

This is my kind of outfit. It’s all black, black, black and heavy metals.

Its all about pretty dresses in black and white and navy tones - with a distinctly French-inspired edge that any modern Parisian woman would be happy to be seen in.

Here are my top picks to have you looking slightly less like a "pinched, grim-faced, puritanical Bible-thumper" that embodies American Gothic and a little more effortlessly chill. It's a perfect look for our current Autumn weather.

Frida was an incredibly passionate Mexican artist who was inspired by Mexican popular culture. Today’s inspo outfit is all about bright colours with a twist of kitsch and fun.

As might be expected, there are no bright and cheerful pieces in this group... but what we do have is some classics brought together to provide a calm and somewhat melancholy outfit that would be nice on an overcast *not raining* day.

Excess, excess and a little more excess. Oh, and cake. Give the people some cake.
