Vauxhall art car boot fair

Vauxhall Art car boot fair will be celebrating its tenth anniversary this year . It is held in Brick Lane and isn't your regular sunday morning hum drum bootsale affair.Head down and bag some out of the ordinary bargains on Sunday June 9th, and get yourself involved in the fun by playing pass the art parcel, just like the children's game, but you could win your very own masterpiece by the likes of Peter Blake or Tracey Emin! Plus all the proceeds will go to the Just For Kids charity. 

Head down to Brick Lane Yard to experience British eccentricity at it's finest!

Just £5 to enter the bootsale but it sounds like a good day out to me!

Has Street Style lost it's style?

Once upon a time Street Style was cool, edgy and interesting. Now everyone and their nan has a blog full of it. There are now websites and blogs devoted to street style and a riot of people attend Somerset House during London Fashion Week purely to get papped for their 'street style'. With no tickets to see a show, people sometimes turn up to walk around and get themselves noticed. Street style was a  concept that i feel was once so organic,real and interesting is now a bit staged and forced. The Sunday Times recently highlighted the fact that people are now consciously dressing ridiculously or flamboyantly at Fashion Week, to deliberately shock and get the attention of photographers to end up on street style blogs.

I think if people naturally dress slightly 'out there' as a form of expression and like to dress like that its brilliant (i kinda wish i had the confidence to pull this look off..)

but its so desperate and embarrassing that people purposely go out their way to look wacky and eccentric just to get attention and to be photographed. 

So eccentric style or try hards?...

and my personal fave...

..Yes that is a walking blow up doll, complete with blow up dog.
