Kestin Hare - Fright Night

Last night I bro'd out! Myself, Paul,  Gary and Nick headed to Kestin Hare for their 'Fright Night' party at their store on Edinburgh's George Street. 

I like the store its in the basement, good clean clean space and well set out. We of course arrived  fashionably late, and were greeted to some fabulous drinks provided the guys from Sygn Bar. (Yup thats Ross from Sygn bar photo bombing with the yellow card!)

They bottle their own 'Twisted Classic' cocktails in house! Nice! Since I'm still on Sober October I stuck to the water, but the boys were straight in. There was a very blue looking drink, cheekily called 'Blue WKND' *see what they done there! Also  'Tuttio Swettio' Botanist gin flavored with swizzles drumsticks syrup, poppy liqueur and citric acid! Not only did Sygn provide drinks, they provided the sustenance too! Burger and Sliders! The food was eaten too quickly to get a photo, but trust me it was delish! Ha!

Apart from the food and drinks, we scoped the shop out and Gary and Nick took a shine to some sunglasses, its never NOT the season for great sunnies!

Big thanks to Fletch at Kestin Hare for looking after us and providing me with some good old fashioned council pop! ( H20 yo!) 

Fashion TV- finally!

With so many fashion and design shows on our screens it seems about Time we had our own channel right? Well its taken its sweet time, but finally we will be able to have a whole channel dedicated to Fashion, thanks to Apple TV.
Made to Measure  will be one of the many channels  available when the new Apple TV box launches in  December.  The company have already bought the rights to footage from runway shows from top designers as well as show casing 'fashion' documentaries such as Tom Fords  'A Single Man ' and 'Valenino: The Last Emperor'
'Tea at the Beatrice' will be a show aired on M2M a series with GQ's 'The Style Guy' Glen O'Brein interviewing a host of fashions elite.

M2M will not just be broadcasting they are producing also.  'The Battle of Verailles - a Documentary' will be high on the list of my ones to watch!

If you haven't heard about THAT famous fashion show in '73, then keep your eyes peeled for my Fashion Hero posts coming soon!

Balmain x H&M - full collection

Well never have I been more excited for an H&M collaboration than this one!

Balmain for H&M will be hitting the shop floors this Friday and I for one predict a RIOT!

Creative director Oliver Rousteing who took over Balmain 4 years ago at the tender age of 25, yes Twenty goddamn five! Has managed to bring Balmain to the fore front of every woman fashion wish list . Wowzers what an inspiration to all you young fashionistas right?

Reading his interview in Dazed and Confused Oliver states  "If you want people to feel good in your clothes, you have to feel good creating your clothes" "My work days are dreamy days. For me, the essence of Balmain is happiness." Well hes one lucky guy who gets to go in everyday to work and create beautiful dresses for woman who adore his designs.

Reading his interview in Style magazine Oliver the prices for the Balmain pieces "are not a price everybody will be thrilled about" but as he carries on to say " its not the normal fashion you expect from H&M"

Personally I would have to agree, but cant quite fully commit until I see and touch the quality of the clothing myself.

With dress prices starting from £119.00 ( the green Sequin dress) climbing to £399.99 for the embellished dress, we hope this must anticipated collection everything a girl could wish for and more from Balmain.
