Bag it up
October 16th, 2008 by Dave@LGUK
This Lace bag, by Riccardo Tisci for Givenchy, retails at $1975 making it far beyond my means, but it's one of my favourite uses of lace this season - along with the brand new Buddist Punk lace skulls dress on ASOS (the cut on the top is not 100% to my liking but the skulls make it interesting & I like that).
While on the subject of bags and this seasons trends, here's my new love - I mean bag:
I love everything about this bag - it lets me get involved with the tartan trend without having to commit...

“Let a smile be your umbrella, and you’ll end up with a face full of rain”
October 13th, 2008 by Dave@LGUK
A George Carlin quote to start the week, but what would he have made of Shuellas - AKA shoe umbrellas? They are plastic booties to pull on over your shoes should it suddenly rain, and they fold up into a neat pouch so you can carry them with you just in case:
(I'm fairly sure he wouldn't have worn the pink ones..!)
They're designed by Rebecca Miller and can be ordered online from her Shuella website.
SHUELLA came about because I was frustrated that every time it would rain or there was inclement weather, I had nothing fashionable and functional to wear that...

British Style Genius
October 8th, 2008 by Dave@LGUK
Last night I caught the first episode of the Beeb's new series 'British Style Genius' I, like Susie at Style Bubble & I'm sure many more of the stylish bloggers out there, was really looking forward to a show with the focus on distinct British style, past & present, and not just another 'What to not wear while looking younger &/or naked'-type show.
I rarely watch fashion/clothes shows on TV - I'm limited to Freeview/terrestial channels and most of the shows on offer don't feel very relevant to me, although Trinny & Susanna and Gok have on occasion bestowed a new...

The LG Renoir KC910 gets its first review..
October 7th, 2008 by Dave@LGUK
The LG Renoir KC910 is due in a phone shop near you later this month and the GSMarena team managed to get hold of a rare pre-release handset last week. They are, I'm pleased but not surprised to say, impressed:
LG KC910 Renoir represents the latest and greatest of the cameraphone breed. ....
Just to give you a size perspective, the LG Renoir is about the same size as the LG KU990 Viewty, but about 5mm taller. They even weigh pretty much the same.
The LG Renoir is building on the Viewty cameraphone popularity and adds a number of innovations to the equation...

Twisted benches and swirling lights.
October 6th, 2008 by Dave@LGUK
Sounds like a slightly trippy start to the week, doesn't it?
Rocio from the Spanish LG Blog brought Workshopped to my attention today - Workshopped is an Australian site championing Aussie design talent, it caught Rocio's eye thanks to the 'Twist Bench' by Kenan Wang:
I always want to design furniture which has beautiful surface and nice transformed shape. Finally, Twist bench series gave me the opportunity to realise my idea. They will provide a different interactive experience being on a bench.
But there is plenty of other work on the site worthy of attention, sadly a lot of the designs come with no...

Timewasters both fun and educational
October 2nd, 2008 by Dave@LGUK
I may be slow on the uptake here(?) but I've just come across Yearbook Yourself a great little site where you upload a photo of yourself for a chance to see what you would look like in yearbook photos from the 1950’s through to the 'noughties'. It's been a real distraction in our office this morning, possibly in part because we poor Brits are rather neglected when it comes to yearbooks - the closest comparison I have is a uniform blouse which everyone in my class scrawled all over on the last day of school, most of it illegible because...
