GIVENCHY PRE-SPRING 14 MENSWEAR COLLECTION

Here is a preview of the Givenchy Spring 14 menswear collection - camouflage, lots of floral and an interesting mixture of prints. 

It looks as if Riccardo Tisci has gone a little crazy with this one - love or hate?

MEN'S CAMBRIDGE SATCHELS

I came across a few Cambridge Satchels on ASOS, and about a year ago I definitely would of passed on them but I absolutely love them now. Traditionally stylish!

LOVE A BIT OF PUNK

As much as I love my white collars and knitted jumpers, there is an inner punk somewhere inside of me urging to break out. 

Sometimes it does - I'd love more than anything to just wake up one day dye my hair pink, rip my jeans up and possibly pierce my nose. Maybe one day eh? 

I would sell my soul to the devil for Hedi Slimane to reinvent me - he's an absolute genius. The Fall 13 Menswear collection for Saint Laurent is beautiful. I particularly loved the styling he did for Daft Punk's new album Random Access Memories - the iconic sequin-dipped suits are stunning. Oh, and I seriously want one of those helmets!

QUEEN OF HOXTON SUMMER ROOFTOP PARTY

Last night I attended the Summer Rooftop Party at the Queen of Hoxton in East London. Such a fun evening; a massive BBQ, lots of refreshing cold drinks and a friendly crowd united together to relive their youth in the East side. 

The Queen of Hoxton is branded "the ultimate youth club for the adults of East side." I agree! Although the unsurprising British weather wasn't exactly on our sides for the whole 'Summer' part, that didn't rain on anyone's parade.

STYLE NOIR PRINT LAUNCH PARTY

Last night I attended the StyleNoir magazine print launch party at Movida in London with IDOL Magazine.

It was an amazing evening celebrating the first StyleNoir print issue being released. To celebrate in style; the DJ was playing sounds from the 90's, cranberry and lyche cocktails were being served (with crystal head vodka) and the crowd were truly dressed beautifully all the name of noir. 

A very successful evening for StyleNoir editor James Joseph and I'm wishing him lots of luck with the future of the magazine - although something tells me he doesn't need much of it.

I'm looking forward to picking up my first issue! Check out the website here and order your first copy of StyleNoir.
