Damien Hirst at Tate

POP LIFE

My friend and old boss (from whom I’ve learnt a lot about fashion) is taking part in the twin exhibition at Tate. I’ve been to see the exhibition when she was part of it. It was very fun to hear the questions they got asked. I recommend this different and fun event. Be prepared to blush in some of the rooms though.

Style Rookie

If you have not yet discovered the adorable blog Style Rookie I recommend you take a look. Written by Tiny a 13 year old dork, as she calls herself, it is a fantastic and fun insight to high fashion. I wish I would have had her fashion sense at thirteen. I wonder what will become of this fashionista in a few years.

Imelda tiger print dress!

The Imelda May consert I went to on Friday was great and the dress Imelda was wearing was fantastic!! A tiger print one shoulder figure hugging dress all in tune with the autumn fashion trends. It was also perfect for the rockabilly feeling and music.

Imelda May

I’m currently listening to Imelda May on Spotify and think I should share this artist with those who have not yet heard of her. First time I heard Imelda May was this summer at the iTunes festival. It’s great rock with an old time feeling that makes you happy when you listen to it. Tonight she is playing at Shepard’s Bush Empire and I’m going!!!

Balham dress

The print on this dress is based on a highly personal image. The man on the print is my mother’s old uncle standing in front of a cruise ship in Sweden during the late 40s or early 50s. I wonder what he would think about being turned in to a funky print on a fashionable dress during 2009….
If you want a piece of this fabulous dress you can buy it at the Urban Buzz webshop, retail price £45:

Train spotting…

Since autumn started to creep up on us I have spotted more and more red shoes on my train travels through London. I like these vintage looking boots. My autumn tip would be to theme a toned down outfit in black or grey with a splash or colour on your feet’s.

Autumn cosy knitwear

The Urban Buzz webshop has been updated with a new must have category - autumn cosy knitwear. Take a look! More sizes has also been added to a lot of styles in the shop.

Urban Buzz AW09 collection

The new AW09 collection from Urban Buzz offers a rock’n roll feeling in deep colours. The inspiration for this collection comes from the diversity in the world and yet the same we are all humans with similarities and similar ways to act and think. It is the same as a fashion collection where you get different shapes and materials, yet it is all bound together in colour and design basics. All style names in the collection are taken from city’s around the globe.
