From Oct 23rd (if you have a spare $500-$600 in you pocket) you may be able to buy a little piece off music & design collaboration history. None other than Mark Ronson one of the best dressed men out there is teaming up with Gucci to launch 18 limited edition sneakers. There will be 16 designs for men and 2 for ladies. For each city there will be 1 unisex design limited to that city. The sneakers will be sold in a "pop-up" store which is to appear in the major cities of the world the first stop will be Crosby Street in Soho other spots will include London, Berlin, Paris, Hong Kong and Tokyo. The pop up store will only be in each city for 2-3 weeks.
“I spent many, many years as an avid sneaker collector, so I wanted to make sure these Gucci shoes were truly special from an aesthetic and collectible point of view,” said Ronson.
Also as an added treat Ronson has mixed a 12" vinyl which will be given as a gift to each customer who buys a pair of the sneaker with some new exclusive tracks on.

Jean - Charles de Castelbajac

Morning all. I watched Jean - Charles de Castelblajac's Fall 2009 show this morning on FTV(don't ask why I am up so early) anyway I have to be totally honest first 5 minutes and the Kermet the frog line I was a tad like "wow whats this man on?" but the more I watched it I got quite excited. The line slipped into a tres chic but still a tad nuts, black and white theme with bows, Minnie mouse, hounds tooth, patent heels and all was tied up with a real feeling of young London. It looked like Sunday people watching in brick lane only cleaner and with a colourful backdrop!

So I made a strong coffee... I'll need it after being up at 8am GROSS! And I looked up his website and again was totally stunned. The music, the graphics, the colour. I mean the dude even designs home wear!!! There's a video of inside his flagship store 10 Rue Valvvilliers 75001 Paris! I need to set foot in that store before I die. It looks like a scrapbook for a cartoon and with the paintings and lounge area and colour I may need to wear my Ray Bans inside :-)

OK I'm off for more coffee check him out for yourself.. http://www.jc-de-castelbajac.com/

Only a McQueen

Can we please a moment of respect for this t-shirt.

Its like Hollywood glamour meets freaky science lab. Alexander McQueen never gets it wrong ever!!

His Aut/Win 09 collection totally pushed boundaries and he stayed true to his unconventional image by having his models go down the catwalk in Paris none the less with recycled cans bandaged to their heads, pale white face paint on and huge red clown-esq lips.

This collection is emo punk meets sexy and polished.

Isabella Blow will be smiling in her grave for finding this ballsy, came from nothing designer.

I need to post you some And So I watch You From Afar. These lot are from Belfast in fact there probably the best thing to come out of Belfast in history, including Titanic.
Seen them live twice now each time they just sound better and better. If you ever get the chance to go see these geniuses play live.. GO. You will stand there and feel like your slipping into space and wonder if what there doing is actually real, Its a complete new level of talent that had me cross over to total post rock fan.

If you like Maybeshewill, Mogwai or Fighting with wire you will be blown into oblivion with this band.

Elle-May

Just so you know who Elle is as you may find I'll mention her a lot.
Yea I'm a total dog freak... Elle May is our Bernese Mountain dog shes roughly 1 year old and my favourite thing in the world. Shes the clumsiest, heaviest, strangest 4 legged furry ass freak but shes most certainly the cuddliest thing in my life :) We love her.... the 2 pics are 1 of her when we had 1st got her and the other one was taken of her on Saturday past

Muffin pops

Yes Joanne and I totally did cook this from scratch (scratch being Tesco) tonight and the remains got fed to Elle the dog - there is no way we could have eaten all that!!! We went on to walk it off... during this so called walking it off we stopped at the garage for ice cream and drinks. Came back ate 2 chocolate eclairs, a bag of Wuster sauce crisps each and 2 cups of tea!!!!
Note to self :STOP BEING A TOTAL PIE FACE

Black studs

These may be my Winter boots.....
So tempted.

My pride and joy!

I bought this bag a while back. Granted I am an unemployed bum but I had fallen into the Saville Row Company job for the first time for a couple of weeks and thought hey why not.... So I spent pretty much every penny I had earned during those few weeks on 1 thing... Balenciaga!!!! Its my school bag I told myself and so I'm flat broke but what a bag to enjoy and keep me sane during my poverty

A poem I wrote a while back...

Life Views at 21



Life is but a battlefield,

It pulls between old & new,

Lovers come & lovers go,

And true friends are rare and few.



Enchanting new people we'll surely meet,

and we'll slowly forget the old,

Someday our hearts will fall in love,

then pain and hurt is to behold.



Although I beg don't get me wrong,

Some people are honest and just ,

Just beware that others are liars and phoneys,

& in them don't place your trust.



We also have our familys,

They're there from start till end,

In particular one's mother,

Our truest, dearest friend.



But regardless of who's there for you,

You are but all alone,

So never forget whats in your heart,

Nor where your dreams are goin'.



For life is but a battlefeild,

And you deserve only the best,

So fight for what you really want,

and never settle for any less.

Im so bored I could die right now

Im not a huge Rihanna fan infact I dont even like her at all. But this outfit I can totally apriciate. The shoulder pads are going to be a major thing this Aut/Win thanks to Balmin's genius designs. Everyone is joining the Dynasty-esq trend.
Due to my student state of poverty I shall be buying a set of shoulder pads myself from my local thrift store The Silk road and popping them into my Spring/Summer black blazer.
Hey presto - updated look for £3
Ill post a picture when its complete :)
