It's another year and Wimbledon has come around again.  My interest in sports in general is unsurprisingly minimal but for some reason tennis has me hooked in a way that is quite inexplicable seeing as I don't play it particularly well either, yet any old match will have me glued to the screen for hours on end.  This year though, a more sensible explanation for my tennis fixation, would be that the style stakes at Wimbledon have been ramped up, so much so that newspapers are commenting on what players are wearing as much as how they are faring in the competition.  Actually, that's not the real explanation either but it is quite hilarious to see people making a fuss about *gasp* a pair of shorts on a woman.  Tutus and white trenches on court, rumours of kilts and Federer's preppy vs. Nadal's pirate look; all the sort of 'style' drivel that are cluttering up the back pages of newspapers and also Vogue.com. 

When people send me emails and say that my blog is one of the best fashion blogs out there, I have to immediately dismiss them not out of false modesty but because.... well, my fashion blogging heights can't possibly compare with what has happened to Bryanboy.  Let's rewind and recount...

It's a day of unique pieces today but this time round, I ain't missing the beat again.  When I heard that Guy from Fashion156 had invited a selection of young designers to contribute a toile of a garment and then asking them to customise it with various methods of paint application, I was dying to see the results and they have just gone live now on the new Paint Issue.  It has just dawned one me that my own efforts of painting clothes are minor/amateur to say the least and whilst splattering paint on garments is supposed to be random/messy, somehow the designers here have made their clothes look beyond amazing.  Of course, the canvasses for the paint here are also far superior.  Rather than detracting from the sublime shapes and structures the designers have created, the paint seems to enhance the

>> I hate feeble 'I'm too busy to post/comment notes' but on the rare occasion that I do leave one, I promise it's for good reason.  Some of you may know that I've found myself a new job and I have said that I don't want to delve to much into right now before I've even started.  Scratch that.  I have started and today is my first day hence the no-time-to-post-comment thang...

Bear with me and I will stop being so cryptic once I've got my head around things.  All that needs to be said is that the new job involves the thingy on the left...

Must get back to digesting information for the rest of the day and tomorrow ill be back to normal...

I really like olives with peanut butter.  Don’t ask me why.  I just do.  Salty nuttyness of olives with the slightly salty creaminess of peanut butter just works.  I had this precise combination in mind when I read the news that Patricia Field was going to be designing a one-off 35-piece collection for Marks & Spencers.  Again, don’t question which party is the peanut butter and which are the olives.  There’s just a sense of initial disgust and then final understanding as you smear some PB on the olive.
