About town...

2009-11-18T09:15:00.000-08:00

I spotted this fantastic bag out on town today. It has the soft and worn look that is perfect for this season. I love that is big even though I can never find my phone. Brown is the colour to go for if you need a bag to your grey outfit. It give softness to your outfit.

Primrose Hill dress

2009-11-07T06:15:00.000-08:00

Primrose Hill is a nice area in London with lots of celebrities living here. It has a village feeling to it with boutiques and nice restaurants. The name of this cure blue mini dress with a lovely rose print feels natural as I can picture it on a trendy girl with black leggings, a drape cardigan and super high heels going out for dinner in one of the local restaurants, such as the great Greek restaurant Lemonia.

Ethics

2009-11-06T08:31:00.000-08:00

If you have read under ethics on our website you know that Urban Buzz is an ethic brand. We work towards making great statement fashion and at the same time think about ethical conditions. Our factories are all European based so that we know the workers have a good environment and proper wages. We also use European factories so that we do not have to transport our garments all over the world on long flights letting out carbon oxide.

As a standard we recommend that you wash all you favorite Urban Buzz garments in 30 degrees and use ecologically low detergent. 30 degrees is warm enough to make your clothes clean but causes less harm to the environment than washing on 40 or 60 degrees. It is also kinder to your clothes.

Damien Hirst at Tate

2009-10-30T11:51:00.000-07:00

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

2009-10-21T02:52:00.001-07:00

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!

2009-10-12T12:21:00.000-07:00

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

2009-10-09T01:36:00.000-07:00

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

2009-10-07T13:51:00.000-07:00

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…

2009-10-05T11:29:00.000-07:00

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.

Urban Buzz AW09 collection

2009-10-02T01:07:00.000-07:00

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.
