Diane Von Furstenbergs GapKids Collection To Launch Next Spring
Are you ready to dress your kids up in pint-sized wrap dresses and cheerful prints? Are you ready to do so with Diane von Furstenberg designs at Gap prices? The retail giant may be in trouble, but the rumored DVF/GapKids collaboration has us very, very excited.
We dont know much, but it sounds like the collection is indeed happening. It will be for girls only, and will probably roll out next spring. Just dont be too bummed that the clothes are for tots and not adult-sized people! Weve been known to buy items in the biggest size (which, by the way, is usually a kids XXL or size 14) from Stella McCartneys GapKids line — and so has Carla Bruni, who is decidedly taller than we are.

Im afraid over the next few days most posts will begin with “I bought this in Tokyo…” but theres no getting away from the fact that my pure aim of my seven day jaunt to Tokyo was to EAT and SHOP and so it is that I return with 15kg extra luggage and err…a few kg on my own bodyweight.

I think this Limi Feu wallet definitely ticks the box. Its hard enough to find Limi Feu anything in London let alone a wallet by the label thats half off in price.

David Beckham To Debut Something Called Bodywear
In an effort to keep preserve his personal brand and his ridiculous liquidity David Beckham announced today that hell be launching a standalone brand. The soccer star will release mens fragrance and bodywear under the David Beckham label starting later this year. Its great news and were happy for the guy, but the one thing we want to know is what on earth is bodywear?
A Google search for the term turns up a variety of links, the first one being a video of dudes walking down a runway in glorified banana hammocks that look like theyre made of highly flammable material.
Ive crumpled up into an unrecognisable sweaty heap in Singapore. The hot and humid air has crashed down on me, forcing me to go into baby mode, which consists of nothing but sleeping and eating and thus has reduced blogging frequency here (I have a fair bit Singapore-related to go up…!).
