who let the dogs out?

Fashion is definitely reliving the glory of 101 Dalmations this season, and I'm having a Cruella De Vil moment too - THIS COAT which I bought shortly after Christmas (i.e. before the trend even hit the Autumn/Winter catwalks, YES I am sooo fashion-forward) will most definitely be enjoying plenty of outings, complete with furry mittens, black boots and puppy-ear hair buns.

Don't think I'm quite brave enough to attempt to pull off Cruella's monochrome hair though - that's probably best left to Daphne Guinness and the other more adventurous pros. Meadham Kirchhoff's models looked fierce enough to have taken a leaf out of Cruella's book - those eyes certainly do look like they're watching you from underneath a rock. Yikes.
