Coachella Fashion
The festival season is well and truly upon on us and across the pond THE famous Coachella festival was in full effect this weekend with music lovers from all over the globe congregating to enjoy the vibe. And no festival is complete without a few celebrities turning up to join in on the festivities + show of their wardrobe!

Vertical Farms
Whilst doing research for one of my modules "A world without oil" I came across the concept of the "Vertical Farm" although not new on my radar it has been brought up in a lecture before. However looking deeper into it I am finding the idea quite interesting and that more realistic in terms of urban growth.
According to Plantagon, their urban greenhouse
“…will dramatically change the way we produce organic and functional food. It allows us to produce ecological [resources] with clean air and water inside urban environments, even major cities, cutting costs and environmental damage by eliminating transportation and deliver directly to consumers.”

Palazzo Trousers
Comfortable and stylish the palazzo pant has been present across many catwalks this season coming in various colours and prints and with the fashion industry loving the wide leg trouser family it's bound to stick around for the forthcoming seasons.

Vampire Weekend - White Sky
As the University year is coming to an end, it only means one thing. Hours upon hours of doing catch up work in time for hand in, which is becoming very mundane. However there's an upside and that's having this song on repeat full blast singing along to the chorus in a tone deaf manner on the top of your lungs, makes the process of completing assignments alot less painful believe me!
Only On London Public Transport
Taken from the blog "people on the tube" (see blogroll) this picture made me chuckle got to love a man who plays netball and not ashamed to show it!
New Edition Ray Ban Caravan
Though the sun has decided to retreat back behind the clouds, I can't help but lust after the new edition of Ray Ban Caravan's with it's beautiful craftmanship this iconic brand knows exactly how to stay relevant.

Pac Div - Anti-Freeze
YES THEY'RE BACK!!!! I think I have to be Pac Div's biggest groupie, seriously ever since stumbling across some of their material a year and a bit ago I've been hooked on Mibbs, Be-Young and Like's west coast flow. From tracks like "Women Problems", "Whiplash", "Mayor" to "Rollin" on their sophomore mixtape "Don't Mention It" they are so different from all the crap out there right now.
To me they are that real Hip Hop and have toured with the likes's of Love Marzjoy, U-N-I, Asher Roth and The Cool Kids. You can't even begin to imagine how elated I am right now! About to finish listening to their third mixtape "mania" after a very long anticipated wait and I'm already hoping they bless the UK with their presence soon and that the Debut album "Grown Kid Syndrome" comes out soonish!

Man Like Me at KoKo
After missing them in January at XOYO (Apparently the gig ended with a big party on stage) was so gutted I couldn't make it. So I'm most definitely making sure I get a ticket to their gig at KoKo on April the 24th. For those who aren't familiar with Man Like Me seriously you need to google them asap! They have been around for a while and have quite a following having played gigs from Estonia to Camden town.
They are unique and a breath of fresh air and having met them in person they are very very cute ladies & gents! Plus they are in a league of their own and always have rave reviews when it comes to their shows but you can't just take my word on this you have to exeperience the hype for yourself! With earlybird tickets only priced at £8 you'd be mad not too !!!

Bio - Couture
I know they say money doesn't grow on trees but very soon clothes sure will. With the world starting to run out of natural sources (Oil, Fossil Fuels, Petroleoum, Natural Gas e.t.c). A Senior Researcher of Central Saint Martins Suzanne Lee has come up with the concept of growing fabric/material from bacterial cellulose which will then create garments. Enviromentally friendly and sustainable though still in experimentation mode I think this idea is not only genius but very innovative, you should check out youtube for videos on the process. Here are few examples of what your future clothing might look like.

World Photography Festival
Being Held at the beautiful Somerset House, The World Photography Festival will be running from the 26th April to the 1st of May and will be housing a variety of exhibitions including the Sony World Photography Awards 2011 to the work of the Student Fous Award Winners.
Also with a festival pass (worth £30) you can have access to workshops, seminars, talks, unlimited access to exhibitions for the whole running of the festival and special evening presentations. Pretty good value for money if you ask me and if your in love with photography or just merely interested it is well worth the penies.
It's in Partnership with Vodafone London Fashion Weekend & iStock Photo who are actaully throwing a afterparty for the Gala ceremony which is being held in Leciester Sqaure, it will be pretty great for networking for all you budding photographers and oh did I forget to mention they'll be free cocktails?!
Big Sean - My Last ft. Chris Brown
So I've been trying to resist this song for a while since Big Sean slightly reminds me of a younger Kanye West. Who I feel ( kill me if you like) is no longer the same after the "Graduation" album and messed around with the bald headed beast, but I can't deny Big Sean is one of the only new rappers that I actaully like. Yes I'm very much anti Wacka Flocka Flame seriosuly the name says it all. Unlike Wacka, Big Sean is kind of fresh and is also 'dorning TISA (a label that every cool kid/hipster will be rocking soon if not already). So maybe just maybe he might actaully turn out to be a disappointment? Hmmmmm time will tell.....

Daley - New Music
The spring / summer playlist is in full swing and nothing beats a bit of Neo- Soul. This version of Maxwell's famous "Pretty Wings is sung by newcomer Daley who instantly entrances my little sister from the first note and she's quite a tough cookie to impress. He's been on the underground circuit for a while and is also featured on the Gorillaz single Doncamatic (you should check out the live lounge version). Check him out!
Chocolate Festival
My advice for those who have given up chocolate for Lent Is avoid southbank this weekend at all costs, those who haven't and are chocolate fanatics Southbank Centre will be a heaven on earth for you over the next two days. With free chocolate overflowing everywhere and the perfect place to get those last minute Easter eggs The chocolate festival is the chocoholics dream. It's also giving workshops for the kiddies and tasting sessions, so get yourself down there perfect day out in this beautiful weather + IT'S FREE!

All Strapped Up
So I'm not the biggest fan of S&M but it seems some of it's features is now trickling into high fashion down to the high street and although I'm not keen on strapping myself in leather or adorning my body in PVC. I am rather intrigued by some of it's more subtle watered down versions....

Shape Shifting Dishwashers
Spotted back in 2009 by a Marissa Brassfeild. These shape-shifting dishwashers are supposed to save time, water and money. Designed By Teo Kai Qiang these innovative washers also re-shape crockery whilst being washed and dried. What you think?
