I know i’m not the only one that starts a regular routine of fitness and exercise at the gym which lasts about 3 weeks but then after that nothing….. Id o it all the time. I always say i’m going to make sure that I keep it up and continue to work out for a sustained period of time but there’s just something wrong with my motivation. Correction, the real reason is that i’m Lazy but let me stop talking about my lack of commitment and start talking about what I intended this post to be about. The lookbook for Dolce & Gabbana‘s upcoming Spring/Summer Gym-wear Collection has found its way to the world wide web. When I first had a look at what is on offer all I could think about is my failings at trying to get fit but then my attention soon turned to the clothes on display and the grey Italia ensemble in particular. Now that outfit I can rock with, might have to cop that. Any who peep the collection after the break. Notice how I didn’t even comment on the models body, yh thats cause i’m trying to not be jealous and the only way to do that is to not acknowledge lol *sigh*

I thought I’d sneak in and steal this week’s one while the boys (DJB, the current champion of Throwback Thursdays, and Yin) weren’t looking. This week the internet has been abuzz with footage and glowing reviews from soul icon D’Angelo‘s European tour, taking place after the crooner took a 12 year hiatus. Personally, rather than being excited at news of his return, I was skeptical; many a super-talented icon has ‘returned’ to the stage to lacklustre effect (Lauryn Hill, anyone?) so I didn’t rush to get tickets for his London dates (happening this upcoming weekend February 3rd/4th). This time though, my skepticism led to me missing out on what’s set to be an electric show, so while I kick myself, you kick back and reminisce to this classic cut from his album Brown Sugar.

After a brief hiatus, (finals week, traveling, sickness and all that jazz) – I plan to be back and writing with a vengeance. Hope I’ve been missed.

We’ve teamed up with the newly started Reload Sessions to bring to you acoustic sessions with London’s finest up and coming acts. The guys behind Reload Sessions hit me up a few months ago to see what we could do together and here we have our first collaboration; featuring singer Michael Duke. You should all have heard of him by now as he’s been one of West End’s biggest musicals ‘Thriller‘ and is also the founder of Shoreditch House night ‘Wired‘. I’ve only heard him sing a handful of times but never solo, so this was a pleasant surprise. Hop on after the cut.

With the hundreds of fashion labels out there, it’s easy to forget the one that started it all…in terms of Denim that is! Levis pay homage to their beginnings through the recently launched ‘Levis Vintage Clothing‘ website. The site works both as an encyclopedia on all things Levis Denim from the conception 501 right down to a directory for latest Levis Vintage Clothing collections and stockists. The Levis brand holds so much history, to be honest it’s about time they launched something of the kind- would have made life easier for me during A Level business studies that’s for sure…God I AM old! Anyway, the quality of the content is equally matched by the website’s design and though an obvious requirement, I really like the vintage look and feel along with the use of pasty/pastel shades.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA – that is all. FouseyTube aka Yousef Erakat is a 22 year old college student and YouTube comedian. If you’ve ever come across his videos before then you’ll know he’s incredibly funny and this video is no exception. If you are/were a Drake fan then you should be cracking up each one of these, the handflapping technique had me in tears. Can’t even decide on which part is the funniest, it’s all funny! Watch it on the reverse.

A few years ago if you told me about Wrangler‘s lookbook coming out, I wouldn’t have the care in the world. In the past 2 years, the brand’s identity has changed – new creative director perhaps? Whoever it is, his/her work has been glorious. Each and every season has had good campaigns with memorable imagery – red, stunt and we are animals. This time round, it’s much more toned down and not your cliché lifestyle shoot with the folks walking in the countryside but with a twist. The lookbook is impeccable, natural lighting shot imagery filled with a range of action shots to highlight the comfort of the clothing. The clothing? BLEH – it doesn’t excite me, not the menswear anyway. The womenswear jackets are nicely constructed whereas the same can’t be said for most of the men’s jackets, the fit is a bit odd. I’m no Denimologist (making up words) so you’ll have to judge the quality of the selvedge. There is nothing really ‘edgy’ about the clothing. Hop on after the cut to peep it all.
