A prospect for 2011

Recently on a harmless read of dazed and confused I came across a very exciting prospect. His name Jai Paul- this 21 year old from north-west london is taking things by storm already. His track BTSTU has received critical acclaim from radio one and has recently lead him to being signed by XL.  To describe his music isnt the easiest . You could say his songs have elements of grime , funk and slight bits of pop. What ever it is I  can assure you it is good none the less. Definatly can see this guy doing alot in 2011.

Below is the song im raving about 

The reform of the a classic

Next on my aspirational christmas list is the Grenson Leather Desert boot from Urban Outfitters. I am a big fan of 60's/ mod inspired items and desert boots are at the forefront of those. There are many out there some that are really worth the pennies , others not so much. Liam Gallagher's Pretty Green label re-realeased the clarks original version making minor adjustments ,such as a more rounded toe and lower heel. Yet none of these brands have decided to change the material which is a shame because suede isn't the most practical of winter fabrics. Which is the reason why these leather ones have made onto my aspirational christmas list.

Taking more of the form of the original boot and at a price of £155 this pair would be first on my list. Coming in a variety of colours all of which include leather soles. I may be  ditching all the other bits of footwear (if I can afford to ) and be hold a jumble sale to raise the funds ... donations welcome.  

Christmas is here and so is the disappointment

The christmas season is well and truly upon us once again , its getting colder , the thirst for mince pies is only just started to feel sickening and we are all oogling the presents that we are not getting (well at least I am ). So to express my desire for all my aspirational gifts I thought I would just let you guys know what would be under my tree BUT ISN'T. This will be a day by day account of the gifts I want .

To begin with we have the Diana mini. This camera is a little copy of the diana (clearly the reason for the name). Its a pretty standard old school camera with 72 shots in one 35mm film . But  does have the ability to change from retro square format to half square with the flick of a switch .. pretty snaz. It retails at £45 from lomography , which is soon becoming the destination for my ascetically pleasing needs. Plus did I mention the Diana mini is very easy on the eye. This mabye the first purchase of many cameras for me and is definatly one that'll be a worth while keep.
