Prêt-à-Porter

I have a feeling my Autumn Winter looks are going to be heavily influenced by the style of the fashion pack and supermodels of the 1990s, namely the costume wardrobe of Prêt-à-Porter. Why? Well Linda Evangelista's fringe, Sophia Loren's hat, the glitz, the glam and the play pretend farce of fashion that we all love so much. Just make sure to listen carefully as I strut passed you'll hear Ini Kamoze's 'Here Comes the Hotstepper' playing in the breeze.

Dead Man's Bones

The recent Ryan Gosling film fest has me reliving my crush of old; not just his dashing old looks but his musical talents too! Gosling formed the gothic gospel group 'Dead Man's Bones' with  friend Zach Shields. Their self titled debut album  is a collaboration with the Silverlake Conservatory Children’s Choir. When Shields and Gosling met in 2005 they discovered a mutual obsession with ghosts and decided to write love stories about ghosts and monsters. The pair chose to play all the instruments on the record, even those they had never touched before. They also imposed rules on themselves during the recording process, like not playing with a click track, or trying to do no more than three takes on any song, letting any imperfections highlight the strengths of the music.

Little man - the way girls are

One of my favourite short films and serves as a clear example of the differences between little boys and girls. Well watch and you'll see things don't change very much as we grow up. Hope you enjoy!

Pocketful of Rainbows

Elvis Presley the undisputed king of rock n roll but also a prince of style. From early days of an 'American Rebel' look befitting James Dean and Marlon Brando to the almighty bling of his Vegas shows his style evolved over the course of his career. The monochrome stripes of Jailhouse Rock look as fresh today as they did in 1957, his sharp suits and pegged trousers are timeless and those embellished jumpsuits still copied today. Boy could he move. This song has gotten a lot of recent attention but there is the original movie scene from GI Blues.
