With Fade Street returning to our tv screens momentarily we welcome back the girls for a second season. But what do we really know about the cast? Cue our guest blogger: Fade Street's original journo Louise Johnston to dish on her fellow 'Streeters!

In her first blog, Louise delves into the world of Cici. The dj, the model, the shaved sides. We first met Cici last season when she was studying for her fine art degree. Before long she has become a regular on the dj scene and something of an ambitious style icon. Let's get to know Claire Cavanagh.

The first girl I have chosen is Cici Cavanagh, she definitely has the most interesting style of our bunch.

You'll never catch Cici wearing anything but black, but she's no angry emo kid. Cici's style is very individual and screams personality. You will also never catch Cici out and about during the day as she lives the nocturnal lifestyle, which fits in perfectly with her career as a dj.

Her life is inspired by music and her look is 80's chic/punk rock/biker. I adore her style. She always throws in a dash of colour, mainly gold, to seal her look. The odd time she will accessorise with an injection of rainbow colours. She may look intimidating from the outside but she is the most self-assured, confident person I have ever met.

A Typical day: Sleeping for days, prepping a dj set or glued to her phone (talking to me of course)

Not one to conform, Cici enjoys playing around with her look to the extent that I don't think she has ever held on to the same hairstyle for more than two weeks!

Ever ready for a party you will never catch her dressed down. Jeans are NOT a staple in her wardrobe. Contrary to popular belief, her style is extremely feminine, always showing off her amazing, petite and toned frame. Even though we have completely different taste, I would still wear everything in her wardobe!

Cici's wears: She is a high street hoarder. Forever 21, Topshop, H&M, New Look

When it comes to make-up, the girl loves to experiment. She has one of the most unusual faces I have ever seen, it's scarily proportionate! She's never seen without a crazy shade of a lipstick.
