LFW: Day 2: Bryce Aime...

After snapping backstage it was time to see the show. I'm 50/50 on this one. I enjoyed some of the collection, including the black and beige panelled leggings - I would add these to my fashion week wish list, along with the digital prints and some of the geometric panelling. I also in a bizarre way quite enjoyed the Gaga-esque, geometric robots - perhaps the delirium and exhaustion of fashion week had set in at this point though?

What do you think dear readers?

It's love: Mary Katrantzou SS11

So fashion week has been and gone. Now I am well and truly back to normal life again my mind casts back to that wonderful time, where our fair city was full of the elite from the fashion and style worlds and where I started drawing up my wish list for SS11.

One show that I can't seem to shift from my mind is Mary Katrantzou's. Her extreme mix of structure, graphic prints and femininity were enthralling and as for THOSE lampshade skirts...well I can honestly say I have totally fallen for them. Chic, futuristic and just brilliant, my favourite has to be the blue and yellow fringe trimmed skirt, love the entire head-to-toe look.

The master: David Lachapelle...

Whenever I am feeling uninspired I just take a look at photographer, David Lachapelle's work and I feel ready to take on the world! His work is instantly recognisable, kitch, sexy and down right wonderful.

This week I have been writing for...

This week I have been writing about something a little out of my comfort zone - men's hair care! Not my usual subject matter but when leading, online men's style magazine sartorialmale.com got in touch I couldn't resist.

Glasto 2010: The Highlights: Pet Shop Boys

To continue with the running theme of my highlights from Glastonbury, I will today speak of one hell of a Saturday night - Pet Shop Boys. The group was divided on this one with some going to see Muse, some to see George Clinton with Parliament/Funkadelic and the rest to Pet Shop Boys (this is common at Glasto, too many amazing acts, not enough time).

The set was packed with all the oldies which gave us the chance to have a drunken sing-song. Incredible lighting and visuals along with outrageous costumes and dancers proved that the boys have still got it along with proving that they were the perfect choice for a Saturday night headliner. I've always respected their music but after that set I am a fully-fledged fan...a true Glastonbury moment and so much fun.

I'll leave you with their encore (and my favourite track), West End Girls...

The iPad...

Avid fans of the iPhone and great friends; Ria & Rory are the first of my friends to purchase an iPad. As you may know I am a sceptic. I have yet been lured into the realms of the iPhone, instead opting for a new blackberry last month. BUT...I must say the iPad is hugely addictive. Just playing on it for five minutes made me want one. Slim, light, no wires and everything looks nicer on it, including my blog!

Just waiting to hear about the latest line of accessories to go with this fine piece of equipment. Cue another luxe leather range from Mulberry, surely?

Adidas Originals; The street where originality lives...

I'm not sportswear's biggest fan but I have just stumbled across Adidas' recent campaign. There is not much to say apart from AMAZING.

DECODE at The V&A Museum...

I visited the beautiful V&A Museum this weekend. I went to visit the Decode exhibition, it was splendid. I have never known art to be so fun. The exhibition is based around artists using digital technology to create new work. Lots of it was interactive therefore the art works actually reacted to the viewers movement, voice or touch and other pieces invited the viewer to in fact create the art by movement.

My favourite piece was Make-Out by Rafael Lozano-Hemmer. The piece consisted of three screens with hundreds of stills of couples kissing as the viewer walked past the piece a sensor triggered the couples to start kissing, creating a fully moving piece. Every moving image was found on the internet...I wonder how long it took the artist to find all those images?

I fully urge you to see it lovely readers, a great way to spend a fiver and get lost in some great new art, even those who are not really art fans will enjoy, definately worth a look.
