I do about 600 lengths swimming every week. It’s the only thing I do to keep myself fit, and I enjoy it. But I do need some new goggles as my current ones keep fogging up now. I’m going to get these Speedo Commes des Garcons ones as I think they make you look a [...]

I was in London on Friday for work, so took the opportunity to stay over and do some quick shopping as well. I made my first visit to Abercrombie’s first store in the UK, in Burlington Gardens, just off Saville Row.

Well I spent a week in Dallas, Texas there (hence the slacking on the posts!) - and had a great break after all the madness of the Bungalow. I just spent the time chilling and relaxing and shopping really. I’ve been lots of times before so have done all the touristy things. I did [...]

What am I gonna do?!!!
I buy a lot of my shirts and t-shirts at Hollister when I’m out in Dallas. Club Cali is basically their loyalty programme which gives you points for every $ you spend. Save up enough points and you get gift certificates and other stuff. You also get invited to concerts and [...]

Top Shop in London are about to stock an organic cotton range of clothing, and there’s been buzz a plenty about a company called American Apparel which already has two clothes stores in London.
