Keeping it brief / All Black Eveything

The briefcase revival comes courtesy of the popularity of totes and messenger bags offering a more practical, sophisticated alternative to backpacks. Briefcases tend to be more complimentary and effectively reduce the amount of creases left on suit jackets as they are handheld, practical as well as timeless. Whether kept at home as a document holder or actively used on a daily basis while working in the city, your briefcase can be used as the ultimate power dressing accessory, a conversation piece that means business. What other way is there to complete a suave look but with a  briefcase. A worth while investment that is timeless and classic.

Ed Hardy New Store Opening in Westfield

Ed Hardy store will be opening at Westfield London.Ed Hardy by Christian Audigier who is responsible for turning the relativelyunknown Von Dutch label into something popular, is now attempting to mergethe tattoo art of Don Ed Hardy with fashion. His latest project is acontinuation of his signature injecting tattoo-cultural themes onto caps, tshirts, hoodies, jeans and dresses. I personally find Ed hardy clothing tooloud, abrasive and really tacky. I cannot figure out if it is the tackyclothing or the people who wear it head to toe that instantly generates anelement of disgust. It is the classic chicken or the egg scenario with thisone.
