I’m now 22. A year into adulthood, I’m no longer a boy but a man. This past year I’ve seen myself change. I’ve become more focused, more eager, found more desire to accomplish my dreams. More after the cut.

This week we were invited down to Gaucho, Piccadilly by Sequal to attend Guess’s press day where we we’re given a sneak peak of the new lines of Guess watches for AW10. An afternoon well spent as we got up close and personal with the different stories that make up the new lines; was a well executed event, the venue was well suited and the presentation of the watches was on point. Read on for more info and photos from the event..

Full view recommended as always. I wish it was sunny as this could have been a really dope photograph with sun blazing from behind the balloons. I took this yesterday at Desigual‘s party near Tower Bridge. It was a ‘kiss’ party and I damn sure did not let anyone kiss me, including my friend Rachel who chased me around the park like Tom and Jerry. Peace and love, July’s very own.

Nerds galore! I’ve been watching DC and Marvel animated movies since Comic-Con started last week, it’s my way of being there in ‘spirit’. Marvel unveiled the Avengers cast and a few trailers to upcoming movies. Most of which haven’t surfaced online till now, peep the trailer for the norse-god based film Thor after the cut.

Remember Jay? my brother from a white mother, well he’s spent the past few months working hard on his clothing company Dead Giraffe. As you may already know, Jay is a post emo-scene kid – you know the type who rocked his sister’s jeans. Well he’s grown up and switched up his style a fair bit to create a brand that caters for ‘streetwear/skater kid, cross over kinda vibe’ – his words. The site launches at midnight on his birthday (and mine!). Photos and more insight into the brand after the cut.

See I’m not that much into vintage, I’ve always been a bit snobby when it comes to wearing 2nd hand clothing unless they were family hand downs from in my childhood. In recent years, the vintage hype has boomed and everyone has been purchasing vintage pieces from the 50s-90s because you know fashion tends to recycle itself. I think it’s mainly due to the recession! Shop Dutty founders have decided to launch The Gold Mine – a new vintage pop-up store for the folks of Bristol. More details after the cut.

I have a love/hate relationship with this part of London. I’m quite materialistic, I love fashion so I do love shopping. There is no better place to do that in London other than in and around Oxford Circus but what I hate about it is the traffic. Human traffic/congestion on the pavement, way too many tourists clogging up the area. It’s like ‘move bitch get outta my way’ as I’m trying to get my shop on. That’s the newly opened diagonal crossing pictured above, it confused me at the start.
