I hate cats. So much. I hate it when they arch their brittle spines and rub them against your leg and the way they skulk around your friendly neighbourhood drainpipes like they own the streets. If someone bought me a book about cats, I would politely accept it and then proceed to choke violently on my own self despair. If someone bought me a real life cat as a surprise, I would immediately issue a restraining order. Despite all of this, I love The Catorialist. It makes fun of Scott Schuman's self congratulatory prose, which I have grown to hate more than any furry feline.

Karen Walkers new range of eyewear indulges in the divine, reflecting the rays of the sun in new glorious ways. She has channeled the celestial presence of the Sun Gods creating powerful shades that are unopposed by the heavenly spotlight.
In its fifth year, Karen Walker’s eyewear is growing to new aesthetic heights, whilst remaining true to its style ethos of effortless simplicity, just as her clothing label has done. The new thirty five-piece collection of statement sunnies will be launched on the New York Fashion Week runways adding that extra touch of sartorial bliss to her clothing.

Walker certainly knows how to frame a face. Her bold frames and colour palette
ensure that our eyes are always in fashion focus. Last seasons favourites, the
Prisoner, Escape and Agent return with glass lenses that maximize clarity,
whilst charismatic styles such as The Village, Rover and Number Six are armed
with handmade acetate frames, that reflect Karen’s attention to detail and
quality in design.
The arrows of the Sun Gods spur the traditional sunglasses shapes to new angular heights. The T-bar frame is also a popular choice. Hints of gold, oranges and blue pay tribute to the landscape of the gods and penetrate the collection with a compelling sense of warmth.
The Sun God’s are looking down on us and casting new style shadows with their magnificently overstated proportions and thick frames. Their vivacious spirit of splendor infiltrates the earth below empowering us mortals with immortal sunglasses of grandeur.
Karen Walker’s new eyewear is certainly worthy of wardrobe worship, transforming us all into gods of accessorized style.
When I first saw BookBook, I felt as though I'd died and gone to protective laptop casing heaven. Then I realised that there probably isn't such a place and imagined myself in the more likely Macbook themed paradise instead. Hand crafted, leather coated, individually distressed and all-round-lustworthy, these babies are just PHAT.
I first saw this band in London a couple of years back and was immediately struck by Petter Ericson Stakee's unique vocals. Since then Alberta Cross have moved into a heavier sound, just as beautiful but definitely with a bit more gusto. Stakee's vocals will drive you into the ground and in the same breath send you floating all the way to to cloud 9..
