Feathered Friend Friendly Feathers

Who else would wear a bird in their hair? If you’ve seen the Sex and the City movie you’ll know what I’m talking about, it’s the cherry on top of the cake, or the feather on top of the bridal gown that Carrie Bradshaw wears, and later in the film Ms. Bradshaw reveals that it … Read more

Time to say goodbye? Recycle your Jeans with Howies

A pair of amazing jeans are the things dreams are made of. They are often your best friends; there aren’t many things in life you can rely on, utterly and completely, every single day.

Russian is the national language of Dostoevsky and vodka, and probably one of the most distinctive … Read more

Music, Design and some rather lovely T-shirts

I love an alter ego. All of the most interesting people have double identities – take Marilyn Manson – contemporary American alternative metal musician who composed his stage name by combining the first name of glamorous actress Marilyn Monroe (bit girly?) and the surname of….erm….convicted murderer Charles Mason. But in reality he’s no one more … Read more

Partywear

Today is the big day and all anyone can seem to talk about (apart from the credit crunch and Kerry Katona slurring her words on This Morning) is the US Presidential race.
