Over for another season, London Fashion Week didn't pull the outrageous alternative style punches it's know for, but was a delight non the less, signalling a sleek yet lo-fi Spring Summer to come.
Bora Aksu and Erderm brought some beauty to the week with reimagined lace designs, lots of emphasis on floor length dresses and volume. Burberry proved that lace isn't just for ladies. It was also the highlight of how to work the lo-fi look, teaming delicate lace with tench coats and rucksacks.
JW Anderson and Ashley William tell us that the 80s is still set to be an important reference in 2016, bomber jackets are key. Whilst Simone Rocha's floaty and quirky silhouettes capture the dreamy side of SS16.

So take take a moment (in the name of fashion and research of course..) to immerse yourself in the decade and welcome in the weekend with a pinch of punk in Siouxsie style.

Delivering chaotic guitar riffs and noisy alternative rock, Sonic Youth also delivered us the pinnacle of cool that is Kim Gordon. A woman who has crossed the genres of art, music and fashion. Forever on team Kim.
Take a listen and get rilled up for the long weekend. Thank God it's Friday.

Somerset House is the perfect location in London for wasting away a few hours, emersing yourself in a little but of art and culture. Our latest trip down to Somerset House allowed us a chance to check out the 'Chris Stein / Negative: Me, Blondie, and the Advent of Punk' exhibition currently on at the East Wing Galleries.
Large scales prints of Chris Stein's candid and at times intimate photographs, track the emergence of the New Wave era of music and the rise of Blondie through the 70s and 80s. Having co-founded Blondie alongside Debbie Harry, Stein had a front row seat for this underground musical culture and was there every step of the way to world domination at the hands of Blondie.
Stein managed to capture candid portraits of many icons as well as Blondie within the music and art world of the punk era, including Iggy Pop, David Bowie, The Ramones, Andy Warhol and more. This exhibition offers an insight into the fashions, attitudes and innocence of the time and is well worth stopping by before it closes on January 25th. Entry is free too, so you have no excuse not to pop along and marvel at the pink ceilings, huge framed photographs and generally just admire a bit of Debbie Harry at her very best.
If you can't make it down before the show closes, tune in for a live Q&A session with Chris Stein himself on Wednesday 21st January between 3-3.30pm. Follow #ChrisSteinNegative and keep an eye on the @BlondieOfficial and @SomersetHouse twitter accounts.

Get the Christmas lights on, mull some wine, pop on your favourite cosy jumper and dig into some mince pies. The only thing missing is a good old Christmas movie to get you in the festive spirit. From the alternative to the traditional, these are our top 5 Christmas films you need to watch this week.
Edward Scissorhands
Admittedly we need little excuse to watch Johnny and Winona in the same film, but believe us, this really is a Christmas film. Everything comes to a head on the night of the Boggs' annual Christmas party as the tale of where snow really comes from is played out.
Scrooged
A modernised (well 80s) interpretation of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol staring Bill Murray as a cynical TV exec taken on a dark and twisty trip full of black humour by the three ghosts of Christmas.
Bad Santa
Billy Bob Thornton is a very bad santa. Full of dark humour, evil deeds, heavy drinking, sex and profanities, this is certainly not a Christmas movie for kids.
Nightmare Before Christmas
The second Tim Burton film to appear on our top 5 festive flicks. Nightmare Before Christmas is a classic alternative xmas film blurring the boundaries between Halloween and Christmas.
It's a Wonderful Life
No December is complete with out the most traditional of Christmas films. It's a Wonderful Life is a heartwarming classic Christmas tale. A must-see at this time of year.

To us they were the perfect 90s couple. Always spotted holding hands, partying and looking at each other in that Winona/Johnny kinda way. Are we the only ones still wishing Johnny and Winona were still together?
Winona ♡ Johnny forever.
