There’s no denying it, the last year’s been a busy one for Brighton-based band, the Tall Ships. With two EPs released, a European tour under their belt and appearances on Radio1 (as well as a stint supporting the Futureheads), they’d …
It’s Friday, we’re all feeling a little bit tired and fuzzy and we could really do with a steaming hot, pulse-racingly amazing espresso. One with a smooth texture, nutty taste and enough caffeine to take us from bleary-eyed drones, to …
It’s seems wrong – cruel almost – to make our lovely House of Fraser blog readers wait all weekend to see the MOST sensational imagery from our good friends at Armani…yes, folks – this is the photograph in question. One …
Question:
What happens when you take 8 Barbour fanatics, a novice with a camera and a typically rainy British day?
Answer:
A shoot that even Lord Lichfield would be proud of (ok we’re stretching it a little)…
Yes, in celebration of men’s Barbour arriving online, we deviated from our usual 3pm office tea break by taking a jaunt into the rainy streets of London.
And our outerwear of choice? Why a Barbour jacket of course!
Meet our biggest Barbour fans – here to explain why they can’t get enough of Britain’s favourite heritage brand:
In case you’ve been hiding in nuclear bunker, the ’50s trend in interiors has shot into our consciousness in recent months – due in no small part to the late ’50s/early ’60s décor seen in Mad Men.
The gorgeous simplicity of the era appeals to all and is really easy to re-create in your home. Sanderson, the bed linen brand has been quick to adopt the trend and its dandelion print designs really embody ’50s graphic prints. The look doesn’t start and end at bed linen though, here are 3 more tips on how to get the look:
Nothing says confidence like a handwritten letter or note.
In a time where emails and texts shoot through the air on invisible waves of communication the pen seems more and more antiquated with each new app or Word update.
I’m confident that this won’t kill off handwriting as we know it but just change, outline and redefine our perceptions of it.
At best a modern man of the world may reach for a ballpoint to sign off letters, but just imagine the quintessential masculine elegance of a fountain pen.
If you haven’t noticed colour blocking is everywhere. Pop art colours and primary school shades have become the look of the season. The key is to keep it simple, pick block colours and pair with other block shades, for example a pair of orange shoes with cobalt trousers teamed with a yellow tee… sound scary?
Don’t be afraid of colour, this season colour is back, oh and isn’t it welcome? We’re so tired of black and grey, it’s time to let your imagination run riot and have fun with fashion. And, most importantly don’t listen to all those people who say you can only wear certain colours, because it’s a myth, there’s a shade out there for everyone, and anyone can do brights.
Sometimes things just make sense. Deep pile rugs on polished wooden floor boards, antique drinks cabinets aboard your private yacht (yuh-huh) – and the launch of a smart new interiors collection that puts the ‘slick’ in city living.
With the latter in mind, we’re all bouncing with excitement…
Kenneth Cole (New York über brand) has not only redefined Manhattan style and influenced the wardrobes of thousands of men and women in the UK and stateside – it’s on the cusp of doing the same for our homes.
Yesterday was the day of the Biba bridal shoot – and as a soon to be married HoF staffer, I couldn’t resist heading over there to get a first look at the collection. In a cloud of white and cream chiffon and silk, the model looked absolutely stunning…
It’s not often that I get genuinely excited by china but I almost fell off my chair with delight when I saw the new Linea by Portmeirion dining set had just arrived online. Its gorgeous delicate print evokes just the …
