Word on the net is "owling" is in - "planking" is dead bloody hell just gets better doesn't it?

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!

Ben Sherman - Englishman In New York
BS officially launched their A/W'11 campaign with Simon (how hot is the beard?) Kelly as the face of the Plectrum Collection "Englishman In New York" this week and I'm totally in awe of the updated, you could almost say re-invention of the brand. Still staying true to it's British roots but definitely becoming a lot more acquainted with it's cool consumer who knows exactly what they want from their clothes (its all in the detail~~~~~). I could continue to tell you my opinion but it's better to see it and judge it for yourself head over to their new temporary brand site http://www.bensherman.co.uk/ and check it out!
Periscope Project
Very similar to the "Boxpark" concept in shoreditch - the Periscope project in San Diego, California however is for art installations and exhibitions.
"The Periscope Project has emerged as a multidisciplinary co-op working to establish viable amenities for artists, designers, students, scholars and activists in the form of work, project and common space. Additionally, it is a representational project working to visualize alternative land-use and development models within the city—such that promote spatial structures capable of supporting inclusion and connectivity of mutual social, political and civic achievement."
Should check out Boxpark's shopping concept it's going to take to pop-up shopping to another level!

I've never been to Berlin and although pop - up is not exactly new Pret- A - Diner is sooo calling my name!

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.”
Slacklining Craze
Only for the professionals, the slacklining craze I repeat is only for the professionals - It's been around for a while and has been described as a " ever evolving innovation ". I'm sure adrenaline junkies and the fearless will be attracted to this craze however really hope it doesn't catch on like "planking" did because lets face it doesn't take much skill to lay face down is it?

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)

Nail Porn
Taken from thisisnailporn.tumblr.com
Nail art has peaked! A new trend to hit not only the cool kids but also the masses. Though it's been around for a while (remember when Kid Sister "had her toes done up with the finger nails matchin"?) it's become very popular within the last year.
"Wah Nails" salon is the creme de la creme delivering everything from aztec print to tutti frutti - but there's a bit of competition insight because nail art profesional Sophy Robson just opened up a new nail art salon on Kings Road in London so I take it there maybe a bit of longevity in it ( check out the video of the launch below). However with that being said I forecast Eye art is the one to watch out for!
