A month of Brick Lane, rainbows, snogging and Hermes!

No I haven't been getting randy in Brick Lane LOL. Apologies for  the lack of post's and slow responses to all your comment's but my outlandish title is basically one huge catch up on all the things I've been getting up too.

Recently finished an internship for a trend forecasting company which was amazing and my time there had me passing through London's famous Brick Lane;picked up a few fab vintage finds and  snapped up some 'Banksy' look-a-likes as well as a few other great murals. My favorite one being of the Shakespeare quote 

'The object of art is to give life a shape'

I stumbled across Pigeons and Peacocks a newish magazine focusing on the creative side of life; from fine art to crazy fashions. I've recently got a job working at Topshop in my local area-so the rainbows and Starbucks are my working lunches (doing all my freelance stuff)and journey's home, it was such a magical moment I knew I just had to capture it. 

Snog is a new desert company that's based in Covent Garden selling pro-biotic frozen yogurt. It's not groundbreaking but I thought the concept and design of the store was pretty cool-I mean-who would say no to a man in an apron with devilish good looks offering you a 'free snog'- GREAT marketing tool!!!

My yearly dose of art was topped up again with a lovely visit to V&A with my sister-with pre-museum visit drinks-was a smashing day. And now that I'm working; the first thing I'm saving up for is an Hermes Birkin-now that there's no longer a waiting list, my money is as good as anyone else's!! Bring on the delivery of an orange box to my door step-woop woop!!

Last but not least-a woman as fictitious as she is, has now been added to my style icon list none other than Mrs. Karen Walker- she's drunkenly fabulous and outspoken with a killer rack indeed, my love of Will and Grace has only grown!

So that's it peeps, I've been a busy little bee haven't I, and getting busier with all of the four fashion weeks to catch up on-what shows have you been dying to see?

Have a fashionably fabulous week!!! 

'You Fancy Huh?'

I think if Drake ever re-wrote the track 'Fancy', I think he should ask 'you McFancy huh?' instead. 

'McFancy' is a concept thought up by creative agency access-agency.net aka The Cool Hunter. They've fantastically come up with this abstract idea of re-branding the very famous golden arches brand McDonald's towards a new demographic as it were-the Fashion week crowd.

‘Setting up pop-up restaurants during the fashion weeks across the capitals Milan, Paris, New York and London, Waiters in tuxedos providing silver service with private dining areas, and packaging co-created with the fashion brands that present at Fashion Week — Burberry burgers, Chanel fries on black packaging, Paul Smith Sundaes will be served in private dining rooms, and a fabulous bar as the focal point.’

I personally found this to be very unique and interesting and an idea that would be worth trying out, imagine drinking hot-chocolate out of say Henry Holland designed cups- with a massive letter ‘H’ on it. Its abstractness feeds off the joining of two opposite crowds- fast food and fashion doesn’t necessarily go together- more like sushi and Gareth Pugh as it were. The reaction of it all will be incredibly intriguing and if not for anything but to say ‘I had Chanel fries’!
