Great Gatsby


It was exactly a year ago when I posted about "The Season Of Gentry" on the 21st of this month and sure enough yesterday (The 22nd) the trailer for the movie "The Great Gatsby" was released.  I have already created a montage of my favourite looks which I have embedded above, can you feel the excitement?

I have watched it six times in counting and I am even more super anxious for Autumn / Winter '12 to arrive  now that it has got me out of my blogging hibernation! Now I know Summer only arrived today in the UK so before you start making blasphemous comments keep your cap on and hear me out! 

I'm not only excited about the release of the film, I am also excited because of the beautiful menswear pieces that will be re-discovered and appreciated once again. One brand in particular that I hope will make it's mark come A/W "12  is Marwood headed by the beautiful Becky French. Her tie's, bow- ties, scarves and pocket squares are beautifully crafted and all produced in England (which very rare nowadays), all round I think she is a genius there is no doubt about that. However I maybe biased, so I have included images of some of  her SS '12  and "Classic Lace"collection  below so you can decide for yourself. Also check out her blog it's definitely one of my favourites http://marwooduk.blogspot.co.uk/ - The Gatsby trailer is after the break.





Man Like Me - Squeeze



So Man Like Me are making big waves now I hear...I don't want to share.... but it's good that they are finally getting the recognition they deserve. With a little help from one of my favourites Mr "A Grand Don't Come For Free" they have now become one of Dj Annie Mac's favourites.

With Johnny Like dressed as a East London Vodoo warrior and Peter dressed as cowboy priest running around an estate looking for virgin prey? You could say their video for their single "Squeeze" is beyond DIFFERENT but it makes me giggle and I love this song it's officially on my summer playlist. Have a listen though and let me know whether you agree? 

HAPPY SUMMER PEOPLE!
