Topman have been dropping previews of their Spring/Summer lookbook via Facebook albums over the past week and as usual with the retailer offer a plethora of trends. Whatever your style, Topman usually have something for you. So easy to tell that the refined varsity will be the item that everyone Tom, Dick & Harry that shops there will be wearing. Some of the looks are still somewhat suspect but a hell of an improvement on the previous two lookbooks that DJB posted in a month ago – click here & here. Majorly fond of the patterned tees and shirts but the florals and pastel colours, no thanks. A little too feminine for my liking, hop on after the cut to see the rest of the collection. Right off to work I go!

HA. Schnitzel – the word makes me laugh for no reason. I actually thought it was some kind of dog meat :| but the dictionary tells me otherwise: A thin cutlet of veal, usually seasoned, that is dipped in batter and fried. Haha how foolish of me. MakeMine is a bespoke sandwich service that caters to your exact wants and taste buds. I stumbled across it during my second week of work back in June but haven’t been back since. Only down to the fact that I went for the same option twice in a row and the second time I wasn’t too impressed with it. Having not featured it on Yin Eats, I decided to go back and try something different. The Schnitzel.

Today was one of those days where I couldn’t decide on what song to use so I decided to call on the help of Yin to help me selected one song out of a possible 4 or 5. We ended up selecting a song but since then i’ve changed my mind and have now selected this Toni Braxton classic (no not that one). Peep what Braxton song I have chosen when you read on.

WOWOWOWOW. I’ve always said that monochrome photographs have something special about them – so raw, so much emotion and in this case – a hard hitting perspective on the homeless individual’s life. ‘I’m an accountant by profession. Photography is my means of expression. It embodies my beliefs and my compassion. I consider myself lucky at not having to earn a living from it as it allows me free reign to try and help others, and not the selfish needs of a client.’ says Lee Jeffries, incredible. I love when an artist, not just a photographer has a deeper connection with the work that he/she creates. Ultimately that should be the goal of everyone who creates, no more producing meaningless nonsense just for the sake of it! More on the reverse.

Brown seems to be the colour choice in this Bally 2012 Autumn/Winter Collection Lookbook. Designed by British pair Michael Herz and Graeme Fidler the Swiss brand displays what it has in-store for us in the impending season. The use of leather is very prominent in this collection as is the colour brown, which i mentioned previously. I’ve never really been a fan of brown clothes in all honesty but im not gonna lie a few pieces from this collection could easily find their way to my wardrobe. I Particularly like the outfit on the right in the picture above. Check the rest on the flipside.

The use of camera phones has gone from taking drunken photos on a bender to full on photography, it’s amazing how accessible photography is nowadays. We’ve seen lens attachments for camera phones before so this is nothing new, but the great thing about this one is that it is universal so it’s compatible with most smart phones not just iPhones! Plus it’s super portable, literally unnoticeable and you can even attach it to some built-in webcams….well it works on macs. With a cool fish eye effect, the Mujjo fisheye lens will transform your photos and it will only cost you £10! More info after the break.

So the campaign launched around 2 weeks ago but I held back from posting it till now to see how well the public will receive. With the London 2012 Olympics starting in less than 200 days, what could a super brand that isn’t an official sponsor do to thwart people into thinking that it is one? Create a campaign using key GB sports influencers with a simple call-to-action that urges the public to join in. That’s exactly what Nike has done. I salute you, Wieden + Kennedy London.
