Ben Sherman AW12
Taken From : DazedDigital.com
Beautifully designed menswear has become a new love of mine and Ben Sherman's offering for AW12 will not disappoint. Having been lucky enough to be invited to their catwalk experience, I can hand on heart say that this brand is definitely on it's way to being more relevant than ever before and for all the good reasons. I will be able to elaborate about my "experience" soon but for now if you would like to see backstage pictures and an interview about the collection with the incredible Creative Director (Mark Maidment) then headover to dazed - digital right now!

Nike Ice Cream Van
A cool marketing initiative by Nike in New York - "The Nike Ice Cream Truck" consists of a gallery on wheels of which rare edition Nike's and sold out favorites are on display. Plus free ice cream in the hot weather, now if only it could fly across the Atlantic ocean like the "magic school bus".......

Daley, Estelle & David Banner - Benz
I've posted about Daley before his voice needs no hypin' - you can hear that for yourself! Pure british talent and it looks like he's about to hit the big time!
Rooftop Film Club
Went to watch "Blue Valentine" with Michelle Williams and Ryan Gosling at the Queen Of Hoxton on Monday. Brilliant Concept and a nice break from your normal cinema experience, there's a blanket on your seat for when gets a little chilly and wireless headphones so you can still move about and not miss a thing plus a mini popcorn machine, bar and bar-b-q.
The film itself well it was my first time watching and I have to say EMOTIONAL! Beautifully filmed though and the performances from both Williams and Gosling were so believable, definitely would recommend but would warn to those in an not so secure relationship to stay away I think couple that was sat in front of me found that out the hard way. Gutted.
If you would like to experience rooftop for yourself check out their site: http://www.rooftopfilmclub.com/
The House Of Annie Lennox
She has swapped vocals with the best of them (Aretha Franklin - "Sista's are doing it by themselves"). Rocked a plethora of stages around the world for over three decades, become an activist / philanthropist in recent years and now she will be honoured for the Beauty Icon that she is at the Victoria and Albert Museum In September. The Exhibition "House Of Lennox" will be showing a collection of her ensembles from over the last 30 years, photographs, videos, recorded interviews to name just a few plus admission is free. Due to run from the15th - I say it is definitely worth a look!

Shaun Samson A/W'11
Taken from Goldentheories.tumblr.com
Utter brilliance never seen this fusion of fabrics being done before anywhere else on the catwalk and I'm sure it will not be fading into the background anytime soon. Shaun Samson's inspiration is modern streetwear mixed with latino street culture, prison wear and American workwear what a melting pot huh? He's worked with Jeremy Scott and he is truly one up & coming designer to watch! Click more for more of the collection.
“In this collection I developed a needle punch felting technique that fuses different fabrics together. Once I finalised the fabrics, it was then a matter of finding which ones felted best with others and what colours complemented each look.”

Liqui Design Lamp
Came across these beauties a while ago when I attended the Grand Designs exhibition. They are called "Bagalights" and only retail at £35.00 each plus come with all fittings and an A rated energy saving bulb. Had a chat with the guy who designed them Cameron Fry who got the idea one day when a cyclist rode by with their lunch in a paper bag (if I remember correctly). The whole concept being "using an everyday item that wouldn't be considered of any value", overall the products that Liqui Designs produce are very contemporary, innovatative and enviromentally friendly - you should check out his stuff (click link below)

Aston Martin - Cygnet City Car
There's a slight trend in the production of compact cars for the more style aware consumer (see previous post on the gucci collab with fiat) and now one of the most stylish car manufacturer's Aston Martin have teamed up with Parisian fashion authority Colette to create a limited edition city car called the Aston Martin Cygnet.
"Elegant and distinctive, individual and practical, the Aston Martin Cygnet is the ultimate Tailor-Fit solution for city living. Launched in May 2011 with first customer orders arriving at European dealers now, Cygnet is hand-crafted for the city and like every Aston Martin it can be uniquely personalised to suit individual taste and style, bringing a new level of luxury and bespoke capability to city cars.
“The colette car is the first of the exclusive ‘Cygnet &’ collaborations. These cars will give Aston Martin a relevant platform to reach out to new customers in urban areas.”
Aston Martin Director of Design, Marek Reichman said: “Aston Martin and colette are both cool brands that successfully blend modernity and innovation. It made perfect sense to work together and create this limited piece of automotive fashion for the city. "
