  • Breaking News: Eco Bag To Save Global Economy

    Look what arrived in the post today.  A re-usable bag with slightly more than an ecological message… A friend recently loaded a picture of this lovely little bag on Facebook.  Turns out it’s by none other than Brighton based cartoonists and bloggers Modern Toss.   When i saw the picture, as offensive as it may…

  • The Fashion Office recommends…a tribute to Michael Jackson

    He’ll be number one in the charts, Google’s most searched term, the biggest topic for bloggers, a sell-out in all music stores, on everyone’s iPod (including mine) and he’s already Last FM’s top listened to artist.   A man who needs no introduction, Michael Jackson will be sadly missed the world over.

  • Music makes the world go round…(and the week a lot quicker).

    To quote my much loved and sadly missed grandmother “Music is the international language”.  And, after a week filled with the discovery of some really quite amazing new songs (and a few fabulous classic ones), i decided to start a new feature reviewing my weeks top tunes.  This is in addition to the features ‘Trackback’…

  • Plaid Please! – The essential check shirt

    Checking out what was in the shops yesterday, i got caught up in a sea of lumberjack shirts.  Clashing Pink and yellow, classic red and blue, cheesecloth or roll up sleeves – which to choose?  Anyone would have thought it was festival season…  So before i filled up my ever bulging wardrobe,  i paused to…

  • Donald Byrd – Change Makes You Want To Hustle

    I got into work extra early this morning as things seem to be taking a hectic turn.  So I plugged myself into Last FM and decided to listen to some of my ‘friends’ highly recommended music.  I wasn’t dissapointed. At first, some odd but surprisingly soothing waterfall-like music began (similar to the stuff beauticians play…
