Get yourself down to Topshop this weekend because it’s cold outside and you need to look chic so look no further than their St Germain striped green and black cardigan (£35).

I’ve got another video for you; well it is Friday so I’m supposing you’re slacking off just a leedle bit. Thom Browne has pioneered a shrunken fitted look which is the antithesis of the baggy suited American look. His eerie video features lots of spooky music, quasi-religious imagery and zombie-like men. Browne is collaborated wit...More

Collar stiffeners eh, who’d a thunk it? They’re used to stop collars curling and keep shirts looking sharp. Quality shirts usually come with a plastic insert that breaks after a few washes so I’ve done a round up of the collar stiffeners on the market. Collar stiffeners almost come into the ‘Innovations Catalogue’...More
Refreshingly straightforward and uplifting pop from three former members of the now-defunct Beta Band, namely John Maclean, Robin Jones and Gordon Anderson. You’ll hear echoes of The Kinks, The Beach Boys, The Beatles and many others, but The Aliens take their influences and twist them into fun new shapes. On the surface they’re n...More
As seen on Dragon’s Den, the Isis adventure puzzle is like a Rubik’s Cube crossed with a Treasure Hunt/Da Vinci Code-style game.

Bobby Grindrod of Friends of the Bride was telling the Metro this morning about his love of dressing smart and dandyism. "I look at record covers mainly from the early ’70s" he said "They’re my influences, really; people such as Frank Sinatra and Bobby Gentry". The trendy young thing used to be a mod but [...]...More
Ginch Gonch do undies for men and women; I’ve had to censor the picture on the left as the size of the model’s thighs is frankly obscene. Do they offer free steroids with their pants or what? Anyway their range is quite fun and kitsch and includes ‘Jolly Cocks’, ‘Wiener Eater’, and ‘Red Bandana’ print...More

Blaps! David Beckham’s new pictures for a campaign for Adidas makes him look like a wannabe gangster rapper, but more Vanilla Ice than Eminem. Don’t you think his leg looks really hairy?

It’s a remake of Infernal Affairs, a cult Hong Kong action film about the criss-crossing fortunes of an undercover cop [...]...More
