Baseball Love
26 March 2013
In the words of Hank Moody from Californication 'MotherF'keeeeeeer!
My obsession with Hank probably led me to be drawn to this chick, who is possibly the coolest little style-lista I've stalked in a while, of course it was love at first sight for her baseball hat and I, which is the whole reason I stalked her!
I think you'll agree, everything from the 1960s shades to the coat and 'that' hat is awesome!?
Whether it's beanies, baseball hats, animal head hats, people are going crazy for them at the moment, maybe partly due to our stupid weather conditions - If you love this hat as much as I do, here's where it is from!

Campaign Fever Dog
21 March 2013
Walking around any city we're constantly bombarded with campaigns and after a time it's easy to walk past even the biggest brands advertising boards without noticing what they've spent millions on! Every season there are a few campaigns that leave me thinking wow, either because of their artistic value or their ability to make me laugh, here is a little run down of my favourite SS13 campaigns.
Starting with one of my favourite photographers; Terry Richardson and Brazilian label Sergio K's latest campaign, which Sex and Masculinity is screamed in a very loud voice! Featuring the rather gorgeous Tony Ward, actor, model, and yes also Madonna's ex boyfriend! This campaign is as boisterous as they come aimed at, young, attractive males in their golden years, who are on a mission to impress the ladies.
I think what I love about this campaign the most is how damn sexy it is!!! Check out the full campaign here - it only gets more more risk-kay!!!
Now we all know good old Harney Nic's and their latest campaign which is highly humorous, like are a lot of theirs are - do you remember the SS12 sale campaign - simply brilliant!! I still chuckle when I see this!
Their current one is a classic, the idea of a bulldog in your Burberry handbag, I adore and I'm sure so would Paris Hilton!
For my next campaign crush, it has to be Baldessarini's latest with the number one Californian long boarder Chris Del Moro. I love the mix of suit and skate, showing how two opposites can very much attract!
Check out the full campaign here.
Last but certainly not least is a brand who I am rather obsessed with at the moment, which is Native Standard from California.
What I love about this company and their campaign is their strong brand identity, I'm also always a sucker for anything with a surf board in it!
These are just a few of my favourite campaigns that are slightly different and really stand out from the billboard crowd in my eyes.
Images: Trendland, Sergio K, Native Standard, and Harvey Nichols.

Sunset Stalking
19 March 2013
There was something awesome about this guy, maybe it was his long rock 'n' roll hair or simple but edgy dress sense that caught my eye. For this shot I couldn't help but break the cardinal rule of street style photography: - photographing into the sun... well rules are there to be broken, right?! Everything I know about photography, I have taught myself, so I can't help but give myself a little high five when I take a chance and try out a shot like this and with the sun setting over the Thames behind him, and it works! It set the mood perfectly for how I wanted to capture this dude!

Weekend Ideas: Bill Wyman Exhibition
15 March 2013
Happy Friday to all my lovely readers!
Now if you're wondering what to do this weekend in London, bearing in mind our weather has been one minute sunshine and the next snow - who knows over the weekend we could be in for sand storms or purple rain!!! So how about an exhibition? If you're looking for a good one, check out the awesome gallery in Fitzrovia, Rook & Raven and their latest exhibition of the photography from Bill Wyman, bass guitarist of the Rolling Stones.
Over the past 50 years, Bill Wyman has built an epic archive of images, capturing his bandmates, friends and inner circle at ease, offering an intimate perspective of life on the road. Often playful, natural and un-posed, almost like these were not intended to be viewed by outsiders. The exhibition offers a unique insight into one of the biggest Rock 'n' Roll bands of history.
Not only is this an extremely interesting photography exhibition, the gallery have thought outside the box and working with Wyman have chosen a handful of artists to rework some of his photographs. Artists such as Gerald Scarfe, known for his illustrations for Pink Floyd and the legendary album cover 'The Wall' 1979, as well as several major newspapers and magazines. (See above Gerald Scarfe's illustration and Wyman's photograph).
Other artists include; Penny who does the most incredible stencil work and innovative concepts involving currency and real butterflies, his work has attracted a huge cult following. A favourite of mine is Pam Glew who became synonymous for her alternative portraits and flag painting, where she deconstructs and distresses vintage flags. Lastly the very talented James Mylne, who I think is all levels of awesome, James has built up an incredible reputation as a talented illustrator, working predominantly with only a Biro ballpoint pen, producing photo-realistic work, which will leave you speechless. Check his work out here.
This exhibition is definitely one to pop down to, it's on until the 30th March. For more information check the Rook & Raven website here.

Live Free, Fear Nothing!
13 March 2013
Live Free, Fear Nothing - These are the wise words on my latest sweatshirt crush.. spotted on this gorgeous lady I style snapped recently, I've been yumming and ahr-ring whether to buy it ever since!
Lately there has been a sharp increase in funky sweatshirts, from LA high school style in Topshop and Browns with their Filles a Papa (back in stock soon), to Rock N Roll chic at Matches and ASOS. Rika's Iron Girl remains a leading contender though!
I think you will agree these boots are probably the most divine things on this planet - please don't kill me but she did tell me where she got them from but I've completely forgotten #street-style-scattiness!!!!
