URBAN SURVIVAL BACKPACK RANGE LAUNCHES AT SELFRIDGES

Selfridges gears up to an historic summer of sports with the launch of its limited edition Urban Survival Backpack range, created by some of the world’s most esteemed brands.

No one doubts that amid the joy of hosting the Olympic Games, Londoners will also have to cope with a certain degree of chaos in the capital, including an extraordinary influx of tourists and the congested transport system.


Selfridges has decided to help lighten the load by commissioning a series of ten limited edition Urban Survival Backpacks from British and international brands including Mulberry, Vivienne Westwood and Paul Smith as well as 3.1 Philip Lim, Barbour and Nike. Each gives their interpretation of what it will take to survive London during the Olympics, complete with a full survival kit inside.


Anya Hindmarch’s kit fully embraces the games and comes complete with a pair of running shoes, an end-of-marathon foil blanket and even a trophy. Meanwhile, 3.1 Phillip Lim suggests staying away form the busy streets with Nars bath products and a DVD. Mulberry has created a limited edition backpack version of the covetable Alexa, filled with must-have Mulberry accessories such as an umbrella, Oyster Card holder and double-decker keyring.


The range of ten bags also includes Selfridges’ own Urban Survival Backpack and kit, featuring a bespoke Pantone 109 yellow Eastpak bag. Inside you’ll find a selection of Selfridges yellow products including an umbrella, a special edition Wallpaper City Guide, a bar of Kendal Mint cake and other practical and fun goodies.

The Urban Survival Backpacks are available from 21 June at Selfridges London’s Big British Shop on G and online.

Stacey Bendet has done it again and I want to buy multiple items from her latest Alice + Olivia range.  If only the weather clears up so I can wear a mini without getting hypothermia!

It looks as though I will be hittting both Oxygen and Harrods aprés work to see what items they currently have in stock...

The H&M Collaboration Strikes Again...

Maison Martin Margiela has confirmed that it will be the next designer brand to collaborate with H&M, launching a collection worldwide on November 15.

The Paris-based label, whose elusive Belgian founder left the company in 2009, is much revered in the fashion industry for its avant-garde aesthetic.

And though it does not share the same status as past H&M collaborators Versace, Matthew Williamson and Jimmy Choo, a cut-price range is likely to enjoy the same kind of success if the excitement surrounding the announcement is any indication.

Will you be falling for the hype and camping out to buy a piece of this cut-price collection?

Katy Perry in Carven

Katy Perry's fans who attended a preview screening of her film Katy Perry: Part of Me on Wednesday evening were given a special surprise in London when the star of the film turned up in person at the venue to introduce the film herself.

Completely unaware of Katy’s appearance in advance, the awe-struck crowd cheered and applauded as she made her way into the auditorium, where she also took time to hand out 3D glasses and popcorn to her audience.

She told the crowd, "Hey, hello! Is it alright that I'm here? We're going to watch my movie!" before she put on her own glasses, and sat down in the middle of the cinema to watch the film herself.

I have a feeling that that her film won't go on to win any awards but I totally rate her Carven Map Print Dress which can be purchased at Matches (where else?).

To Pee Or Not To Pee?

Personally I think that Harvey Nichols' flyer for their upcoming sale is hilarious and it is generating more free PR than they could of hoped for.  The Summer Sale launches in store and online this Wednesday June 13th, with up to 70% off.  Save up to 70%??? Oh yes pees please!

Last night I had the pleasure of attending Gabrielle's Angel Foundation Gala Fundrasing event at Battersea Power Station and was lucky enough to meet Shingai Shoniwa from the Noisettes after she got everyone on the dance floor belting out the band's hits, Never Forget You and Don't Upset The Rhythm.
