Monday news
Not much of a weekend in the way of scouting for the next big thing on the fashion scene, spent most of it running around after the dog on the beach, good to see the sunshine back.
Noticed that the winter gear had been shedded and in some cases even shorts flip flops and t-shirts were being sported in a rebellious affront to the cold winds that managed to get through the warm rays. Bright coloured t-shirts are staying by the look of things with garments getting more neon and in-your-face than ever before. Surf and street wear are the key looks for the seasons to come and already the high street stores are stocking up on beachwear, swim wear and general spring and summer boardies, t-shirts and footwear in the vain hope of a nice UK summer this in 2009.
I myself bought a rather amusing brightly coloured green Nintendo t-shirt last week, a wicked one colour print on the front encompassing the famous logo with the phrase Rehabilitation clinic underneath. Love it, great t-shirt with a fun not too complicated design that I’m sure to wear time and again, great find!
Gearing up to proudly witness my own Mum abseil down a 140foot building next week in aid of the St Annes Hospice that helps those dealing with cancer and their families. Don’t know about her but I’m nervous as hell! I will of course be designing her a funky yet tasteful (she is my Mum after all!) t-shirt to wear on the day, just in case anyone wonders who she is and why she is up there and for her to remember the event with pride. Go Mum!
Sat in the hairdressers on Saturday flicking through the obligatory magazines, you know the ones! Been there for months so all the celebrities are now seeing someone else, wearing something else and the music recommendations are so last month. In between the hair styles, celebrity pads and cars I came across a a great shout out for a very happening Surf gear site for those youngsters amongst us. Grommies has a small collection of tasteful yet fresh designed hooded sweatshirts and surf gear, including the ever popular sheep skin boots for the boys and girls that love to run around and well, be all surfer-dude like. It seems us adults aren’t the only ones to take a pride in our fashion tastes. Wasn’t like that in my day! I loved my Thomas the Tank Engine sweater and matching pants I won’t lie to you!
