January 2009

This weekend is your last chance to see the Forever Exhibition at the Victoria and Albert Museum. The V&A’s John Madejski Garden hosts the videowall installation, which projects graphic animations that are responding to an ever-changing soundtrack.

The installation comes from Universal Everything, a design studio of an ever-growing network of designers, artists, musicians, producers and programmers. Their digital design system will create unique sounds and images every day, forever. Well, until Sunday at least. Who knows what happens to it after that.



The easiest way to update your wardrobe for spring is with one key piece. A trench coat like Nammi, will inject some vibrant colour into any look. Just pop it on and hey presto, you won’t look wintery anymore.

What’s more, macs are a must-have staple for any spring wardrobe, and this tropical colour offers a modern twist on a classic style. The storm flaps and back pleats add detail, while the waist belt can be buckled or tied to create a feminine hourglass silhouette. You’ll certainly be pretty in pink.

Party like it’s 2009

26 January, 2009 ·

Chinese New Year is one of the most important holidays in the Chinese calendar. To celebrate the dawn of the year of the Ox, lots of events are taking place across the UK. On 1st February, there’s a traditional parade in London’s Trafalgar Square. There are also free events in Birmingham’s Chinese Quarter.

While if you’re further afield, there’s an event at Edinburgh’s National Museum of Scotland on 8th February, showcasing traditional Chinese music, dance, calligraphy, art and animation.

With celebrations going on all over the place, we didn’t want to miss out. So we’re offering free UK delivery to all our online customers this week. See our website for details. (Your order won’t be delivered by Ox though, van’s are much quicker.)



Moving on up

26 January, 2009 ·

A great weekend for Team Bath means they’ve moved into the play-off places in the Blue Square South division.

The side ended their previous run of bad form with a 3-1 victory over Eastleigh, taking them into fifth place. Ben Thomson and Takumi Ake scored at the end of the first half to give the boys a 2-0 lead, before Matt Cooper added a third, 18 minutes from time.



Great Scot

There’s bound to be a lot of celebrations across Scotland this weekend to mark Burns Night on 25th January. The event celebrates the birthday of Scottish author and poet, Robert Burns, best known for writing Auld Lang Syne.

A traditional Burns Supper usually consists of cock-a-leekie soup, haggis and Scotch whiskey. This year is the 250th anniversary of the birth of Robert Burns, so expect some extra special celebrations. To find out more about the event and the man himself, take a look here.
