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.

EAST CLUB: THE TRENCH COAT

British menswear brand East Club was created in 2012 by designer Juan Acevedo. Designs by East Club are classic, playful and have a beautiful luxury edge - the dapper gentleman's style nailed in one.

Below is a piece that is quite a gem from the SS13 collection, the navy trench coat! Priced at £328, it will be available for purchase via the website this coming Monday. 

This particular piece is 100% cotton twill and has candy stripe lining detailed onto the coat. Modern with a quirky edge - ticks all the boxes for me.

PRADA FALL 13 MENSWEAR

My favourite looks from the Prada Fall 13 Menswear show. Particularly liking the blues working alongside the reds, the traditional styles of trousers and the heavy statement jackets.
