H&M for Brick Lane Bikes: A Men's Cycling Collection

What an interesting collaboration - I like it! H&M has teamed up with East London fixed-gear cycling specialty shop Brink Lane Bikes to create a line of rider-friendly menswear inspired by the urban cycling scene.

Designed by H&M and tested by Brink Lane Bikes, this only means that this capsule collection is both very functional gear and stylish streetwear.

I'm only an occasional rider. I do like to take the bike out during the summer time and I 'm looking forward to sporting some of these cool, great looking items. To be honest I will probably wear them in my everyday outfits : )

Eventhough the collection may be designed with bike enthusiasts in mind, I think every guy can enjoy it. It comes in great colours, and I love all the details. The technical details become part of the look of each piece.

One of my favourite piece is the rider jacket. It's made from water repellent and breathable material, with ventilation holes under the sleeves and taped seams. It's cut longer at the back, with the back pocket and straps inside the jacket so it can be worn as a backpack. Nice!

Check out the Look Book video below and see the collection in action along with the technical details. Lastly, the collection is made entirely from more sustainable materials as part of H&M Conscious work. Look out for this special collection, hitting  around 180 stores from March 7th, 2013.

Olympic's Believe Montages

I can't believe that the 2012 London Olympic games will be coming to an end this Sunday August 12.

Just wanted to share some of the many CTV's Believe montages - showing the top moments and best images at the games. And the 'I Believe' song just doesn't get old. The song made famous by Nikki Yanofsky during the 2010 Winter Olympics has been redone by the Tenors for this Summer games. Btw which version do you prefer?

I love watching them! The montages just brings such a great feeling, don't you agree? : )

A very cool idea and definitely dramatic. Would you press the button? I would - press and run away : )

Buy a t-shirt, help a kid!

I love it when a graphic t-shirt does not only look great but at the same time, it's doing a good deed. All you guys should definitely go to your nearest Bluenotes store and pick up this very special t-shirt. I, who loves graphic t-shirts, of course got one myself : )

Bluenotes' have partnered with Simple Plan to support Kids Help Phone this Holiday season. When you buy a t-shirt, you will help a kid! It comes in a guy and girl style - it's only $10! And get this, ALL the proceeds will be donated to Kids Help Phone!! Very cool!!

This exclusive graphic t-shirt has been co-designed with Simple Plan and is only available through Bluenotes. Great job Simple Plan - very cool design, it looks great!

Little Girl sings Nicki's "Super Bass"

Not sure if you guys seen or heard about this - but I think it might be going viral very soon. I first saw it last week on the Ellen DeGeneres Show, which btw, the little girl will be on the show sometime this week.

I already liked Nicki Minaj's 'Super Bass' song, but after seeing it sung by this little one, I think I like it even more!

Her name is Sophia Grace,  who's 8 years old. Check it out - she's too cute!!

Corning - A Day Made of Glass

A Visual Life

Check out this nice video of blogger Scott Schumann, aka, The Sartorialist . ( a blog I regularly follow and wish to be on it someday- lol ) It's a blog where he share pictures he took on men's and women's fashion. FYI: he gets about 70, 000 readers a day!

I love what he does (it's everything I enjoy): Photography, fashion, going around people watching and taking pictures- what a great job/life! He was one of the many reasons I started up my blog. I guess you can say he's one of my 'blog-model' : )   Enjoy!
