Vice: Daisy Lowe on Vimeo

I've just had a very long day at work, lets all watch this video of Daisy Lowe.

Are you listening?

Remember I told you to keep your little ears pricked up and your eyes peeled last week? Here it is.

There's a man about town called Mr Kane and he was NOT happy with the limited access we boys and girls have to new and exciting brands here in Yorkshire, it made him mad and sad, and he felt bad for all of us. So he travelled far and near to find brands that not only oozed style but were exclusive and affordable (with prices ranging from pocket money to credit card). 

He's tracked down brands from Leeds to Latvia, made lots of phone calls, sent lots of emails, broke some windows, went to Paris (Life is hard in fashion kids...), bought some paint, used the paint, broke his ceiling, bought a flag and called in favours all for his new project; Dais.

 Dais boutique will be the cutting edge cool home of these soon to be highly sought after brands. Opening on the 14th August Dais will source brands on an as they appear basis, from classic and contemporary to verging on quirky to downright brave. Brands that have intellect, imagination and more technical skills than the butcher, baker and candlestick maker. Clothes that will make people stop you in the street, look twice and go 'HEY! I want to be friends with THEM!'

Call me a brown noser (hey, Maria, you're a brown noser!) but I'm genuinely excited to see someone work so hard to bring fresh fashion into Yorkshire and stick it all under one roof in a well laid out and aesthetically pleasing environment, where cotton t-shirts can run free and skinny and bootleg jeans can live together in harmony (okay not bootleg, no one is ready for that, sorry soccer moms!).

Here's a sneaky preview of some of the brands you can expect to pop up in your wardrobes:

ME&YU

Long

Odeur

Francesca Warren

Elventh Commandment

Beik

There's more exciting stuff too, like Ante from a nice chap on Brick Lane and Clare Davis - a London College of Fashion graduate. 

Dais will have a preview night on Friday the 13th August with a DJ and an exclusive look at all the current brands stocked, the official opening date is Saturday the 14th August. Pop into Bryam arcade in Huddersfield (second floor) and have a peruse. Latest news can be found on the Dais Blog or on the Dais facebook page.

Pastels

My penchant for pastels continues (surprise surprise). Frustrated with my stupid hair (OOOH... MY GOD! WHY WONT IT JUST BE CANDYFLOSS PINK ALREADY??!) I decided to buy a nice pastel lilac nail polish to make everything better. and I do actually love it. It was only £2.99 aswell, bargain!

So...Good...

Alice Dellal

I love Alice Dellal so much, to me she's so beautiful and the fact she comes across as a massive freak makes me love her even more. She was also one of the first girls to rock an undercut (before they got trendy not like, ever) and she has such an unusual face, she looks rough as hell but still looks cracking. So now I've finished worshipping, when I got my email from Vice this morning with a video of Alice in I did a little skip and a jump and a hop and the video is so good that I'm going to show it to all of you, YES I AM! Aren't I good to you?

Here are some more pictures of Miss Dellal.

This is one sandwich I'd pay to be in.

Things I love Thursday

I have been excited all week to unveil these beauties. This Thursday I quite simply love SHOES. I've managed to play my shoe obsession down a lot on my blog (I think...) but I seriously have like fourty pairs of shoes, now my camera is working again I'll take some pictures of the best ones this summer. ANYWAY I've been trawling tumblr on my spanking new laptop this week and although I don't see myself making one (or if I do I don't think I'll be doing much reblogging tumblr is very samey and clicky, bit myspacey) there are some beautiful images on it. I've found some really beautiful shoes this week. Here we go...

All these pictures are ones that have been reblogged a million times on Tumblr so if you own any, holla.

I am a moooomin

When I wash my hair I have to pile it all on top of my head because 

1. it leaks and dribbles pink EVERYWHERE and 

2. it makes me cooold!

I think It makes me look like little my from the moomins. I am a lot less aggresive than her though. probably.

I've just been doing really small scatter brain posts recently, I'll do a good one soon.

Bon Iver - Skinny Love

I don't really post about music, it's not something I know much about and I find a new band/artist I like about once every 6 months. I'm too lazy to try and find music I like.

I've had Skinny Love by Bon Iver stuck in my head for three days and it's such a lovely song I thought I'd pop it on here.
