Yesterday, I had to source some fur for an upcoming photo-shoot for the magazine. As I trawled through the vintage shops on Portobello I stumbled across as shrug made from Baboon hair. All I could think was- “Oh no-they got Rafiki!!!”
I need to venture out of Notting Hill and use public transport more often. Looks like the tube is rather more fun these days…

Last night I watch An Education and today at work, the guys were gushing about their time there for Fashion Week just past-now I totally have it in my head that I want to go to Paris. Soon please…

Washed Out, New Theory-Perfect chill out tune.
Want a new start but feeling weighed down by clutter that symbolizes memories you’d rather forget? Call The Death Bear. He’ll come to your home and without saying a word he’ll take your old things and stow them away in his cave where they’ll never see the light of day again.
As an avid hoarder, I personally would find it impossible to part with a lot of my possessions, no matter what they may represent. But since this service is available, it did get me thinking, if a 7 foot tall bear in a black jumpsuit and boots is willing to keep objects in his cave forever, what things in society should disappear off the face of this earth?
Naturally there are the obvious hideous creations (Ugg boots, Scrunchies and the Smart Car to name but a few) but what else deserves eternal banishment???
Hmmm….
I was first introduced to Banksy, a couple of years back when I came to London to visit friends who were living in Hackney. Being penniless students, we reveled in free excursions such as Banksy V Warhol exhibition where my love of his guerilla street-art first began.
While I later discovered his work wasn’t exactly as original as I initially thought after realizing Blek Le Rat had been causing havoc on the walls of Paris years before Banksy made his mark, I still consider myself a Banksy fan. Needless to say, I’ll be keeping my eye out for his new film, Exit Through The Gift Shop. Lets just say, the trailer had me at “Best Picture Of Leaves On A Trailer”.
There is a black pug in a diamond collar and quilted jacket strutting around Portobello Road with no lead like he’s the absolute shit. If he’s not careful, I may just have to dognap him, rename him Trevor and pass him off as my own…
The past few weeks have been hectic to say the least. To be honest, I have mildly surprised myself in that I’ve actually managed to keep my New Year’s resolution to be more productive this year (cue not a single day off since New Year’s Day….) So having waved goodbye to the PR office of Vans, I have now moved on to 7th Man Magazine where I am the new fashion assistant. (Yay). Click here for the oh so stylish blog.
One word: Wow.
That seagull looks like he wants to destroy whoever the photographer was.
Click here for more pictures from the National Geographic International Photography Competition and hope that the photographer survived this possible Alfred Hitchcockian situation…
Apparently tweed is set to make a comeback for Spring 2010. No longer to be associated with farmers and geography teachers, tweed is said to be a red carpet favorite for the new year. But will the likes of Kate Hudson have you reaching for this classic fabric, or will you be more influenced by the likes of internet sensation and aspiring horologist, John Joe from the Late Late Toy Show??? Judging from his slew of increasing followers on Facebook, screw Michael Kors, it’s John Joe (however scary I do find him) that’s bringing tweed back!
Aaron Johnson in the latest issue of Wonderland. Sam Taylor Wood is rather a lucky woman…. Click here for the trailer of their new movie Nowhere Boy.
