Versace For H&M

Never say never: H&M have announced that it will be launching a collection with Versace, despite its creative director Donatella Versace (second from left) saying she would never design a diffusion line

First Lagerfield and recently Lanvin now Versace? H&M seem to do no wrong and it took a while but Donatella has finally realised that and has jumped onto the band wagon too! With a 40- peice collection thats to hit stores this Autumn, I'm sure the masses will be queuing from the net to the streets to get a piece of the iconic brand that's said to use designs from it's archive.

So Fly

Meet Gator the goose, who wears custom sandals which were made for  him by his owners so his feet don’t get sore after too much walking on  concrete. Bob and Lauree Strouse designed the fancy footwear to protect  his webbed feet on the pavements of St Augustine in Florida. Described  as a ‘rescue goose’ by his owners, Bob and Lauree picked up their pet  from the side of a lake filled with hungry alligators calling him ‘Gator  Bait’, a name which has since been shortened.

Some more roadside art, Taken whilst on the motorway into Glasgow central It's actually part of a three head installation 20 minutes or so from the town centre ( which I thought was pretty cool, because it's almost situated in the middle of nowhere) . Unfortunately didn't manage to capture all three of them and have been trying to find out the artist responsible for them to no avail, So if anyone recognizes this would majorly appreciate the heads up!
