The Hundreds Disney

 

You know how you’ve always wanted to wear clothes with your favourite Disney characters on them?

 

Me neither, but apparently some people do and for those lucky individuals, The Hundreds have created the “Lost Boys” collection in partnership with Disney.

 

I probably sound a bit harsh but it’s just because I wouldn’t wear these pieces myself, although I can see them working for certain people. I respect what they’ve done and I like when clothing company’s reinterpret iconic imagery. In this case, The Hundreds, are helping to make Disney relevant again and reintroducing these lovable characters to a generation that has, at times, forgotten about them because of the likes of Nemo and Wall-E. If you’re into this you can purchase pieces from the collection in a few select boutiques but be quick because I think that these will sell out fast (if they haven’t already).

 

> old news is good news - dec 1st was when the splash of thehundreds x disney came about

Urban Outfitters In With The New

 

They say in with the new and out with the old - no one’s seemed to ring in the sales season much like UO has, with their angular imagery of a mirrored-girl-creature-thing-it-thinger picture. I just thought I’d share - oh yeah, and they’ve got some sales too.

 

I haven’t really been able to head out and shop much b/c of working (yes, retail is fine fine times during the holiday season).

 

Anyone find any good deals? I’ll do a postie on the ones that I do find for those who didn’t hit up Boxing Day (and why would you when things get marked down again?!)

Ben Sherman Funnel Coat

 

While I was on the Ben Sherman website (doing my daily peruse of online brand websites coveting more than ever before), I came across one of those “I’d-buy-it-if-it-wasn’t-white-and-impossible-to-care-for-unless-you’re-part-of-the-russian-mob-and-with-unlimited-drycleaning”.

 

Anyway, introducing a lovely funnel neck jacket from Ben Sherman. Love - do you?

Bill Gates Mug Shot

 

I have no idea where this came from and why Bill Gates would ever pose for a shot like this, but I felt like the right thing to do was share it.

 

It’s exclusive to Urban Outfitters, and what’s better is their description for the shirt:

Charged with three counts of straight runnin’ things.

As a former colleague used to say…”dat’s riiight!”

 

Would you wear it?

Lily Allen It's Not Me It's You

 

She said it best, not I. Lily Allen’s back with a fierce sampler (as if we expected anything less). Take no offence to her vulgarities - it just makes it more enjoyable.

 

Check the Youtube Vid or listen to it on bloc music (yeah, up there mon!)

 

 

0:00 Everyone’s At It
1:24 The Fear
2:30 Not Fair (not previously heard - it’s got banjos!)
3:48 22 (not previously heard - about women aging in today’s society)
4:52 Never Gonna Happen (not previously heard - & now…an accordion??)
6:00 F**k You
