MANGO now fills the need for both XX & XY

It’s nice to see that MANGO finally entered the men’s fashion market back in March, it’s obviously going very well as they have now opened an all men’s store in Barcelona. I am a massive fan of MANGO, I always feel like I am wearing a really expensive item, as the cuts of their products are always perfect, you never get the ‘wearing a bag’ feeling. It’s great that men will now too get the opportunity to wear quirky, well made clothing off the high street. I yet to set my eyes on the men’s range, I just hope that their standards are as high for men as they are for women.

“PR’s a Doss” – I Think Not!

Yes it’s a fact; dissertations have the same affects as taking a bullet.

The last two weeks have been an emotional, stressful, VERY unpleasant journey to fitting back into university lifestyle. It’s ironic how this time last year I was in the same position when I started my work placement.

Waking up every day at 6.00am was a shocker after the norm, of lazily lying in till lunch time; now I would give my back teeth to be in that position again. You hear it all, “you should cherish your last year, it’s the best of them all!”, “it’s so much fun especially if you’ve been on placement, you get to be a student again”.

I’m doing longer hours now than I ever was working. OK hands up I am waking up later but I blame this on simply not being able to get to sleep straight away. I lye awake stressing about an endless list, work load, not having time to take on a job let alone find one, lack of 'fundage' in my bank account, I don’t have a dissertation title, it goes on.

So to all those millions of people with a degree under their belts, my hat goes off to you, and I hope I too make it through this treacherous journey, what they call uni.

PR campaign to smile at :-)

I love TK Maxx’s PR campaign which was located at their New Kensington store this morning. Shoppers were greeted by people chained to railings shouting “Set Big Brands Free” what a great idea! As this is the first central London store there was a lot of hoo-ha to whether a shop like this should be in central London, I mean come on the biggest Primark I have ever seen is metres away from Selfridges, give them some slack.

Dissertation distress.....Alcohol in need

I’m still in two minds (more like 20) with what dissertation title to choose. Throughout life we are put in various situations where we need to make a choice, what university, what house are you going to buy, what career, what job, the list is endless. Like so many I’m not the best when it comes to decision making. It’s not that im indecisive, it’s usually because I like more than one of the choices and would prefer two of the outcomes rather than one– a little greedy some may say.

So I have spent the last couple of days on my dining room table with books, photocopies, old essays, uni folders and a blank notebook in front of me (the only thing which has remained untouched). With the clock ticking and days disappearing into thin air, I’m starting to get a bit panicky as what to write about, with many ideas zooming through my mind I think its just time to put the research down and crack open a bottle of wine. After all, people always “sleep on it!”

Safe, legal adventures with the Venturi Mini

This looks like a very clever piece of technology, it's called the Venturi Mini. It enables users to stream music and phone calls, to be played through the car stereo. All you need to do is plug it into the cigarette lighter and let it send signals to the FM radio. Some mobiles will download their phonebook to the Venturi, so you can scroll through your contacts on the display, allowing calls to be made directly from the set. When you receive a call the music will cut out for the call. It is so easy to install, and for £79.99 i think it is so much easier than any Bluetooth set i have bought in the past.

I'm back...

Hi all, sorry for my slight abandoning to Walk::Proud. I am currently wrapping up my years placement in London. With lots to pass over and to record it has been a bit manic!

Red iPhone fights aids...

There have been extensive talks about the 3G iPhone, so thought I would include this story (my little contribution to the world’s iPhone discussion). This saucy, red handset may be making an appearance at the RED charity. The RED charity receives from companies, red versions of their products, and a chunk of their sales goes towards fighting Aids in Africa. Apple has made various red products, so there is great suspense to see whether a red iPhone is released into the mobile world.

Pixie Geldof teams up with high street store

Yet again we have another celebrity teaming up with a high street store, making their fashion taste available for everyone to buy, at an affordable price.

Pixie Geldof is apparently signing a deal with New Look to help them design a new range. Let’s wait and see if it is a bigger success than Lillie Allen’s efforts.

An EYE for décor...

Something very strange that caught my eye! I’m not sure that wearing a contact lense with added decoration would be the most comfortable thing to wear all day. I’m indecisive to whether I like it, or if I find it a bit disturbing? Wonder how the fashion industry will take this?

Thought it would be nice to give Walk :: PRoud a face lift.
