yeesh. it seems barely yesterday that the style spotters donned their highest heels to make the bi-annual pilgrimage to cutting edge fashion, also known as london fashion week. and now in exactly one weeks time, the madness kicks off again, so it only seems right for a fashion focused blog love!

and this girl certainly gets fashion. style maven stevie and her blog discotheque confusion are a guiding light to the inspiration hungry! a self-confessed enthusiast of 70′s overalls, suede, and cheeseplants(?!), she is certainly a girl after our own hearts. we love her inspiration collages in particular, as they’re a great source of fashion knowledge without any of the dreaded leg work!

so keep it locked to discotheque confusion to stay in the loop (it’s a pretty swell place to be), and if you’re on twitter – don’t forget to say hello!

in these penny pinching dark days lusting after fashion can be rather an upsetting preoccupation. so praise be to the wonderful, utterly stylish Jazmine Rocks, for being a guiding light with her consistently great outfits, always put together on a tight, tight budget. 

we are particular fans of her many charity shop finds – she has a talent for picking out beautiful scarves, huge jumpers and coats (often for less than the going rate of one of our bottles) and throwing them together like no-one else. and she always finishes her artistic photos with the cost of each outfit – just so we know that looking good on a budget is more than possible. 

if you’re in the need of a little budget inspiration be sure to check out her blog jazzabelle’s diary at  and hunt her down on twitter.

happy friday!

it’s funny how a bit of bass filled party goodness can brighten even the darkest of days.

however, keeping tabs on this fast moving scene can sometimes be hard work, so it’s a breath of fresh air to have the chrome kids around!

perched nicely on the cutting edge of the electronic scene, these guys deliver a constant no frills dose of bass heavy tuneage, to which we are truly grateful! they even host their very own ‘chrome kids show’ showcasing their expertly curated picks for the week!

happy friday!

ever noticed how friday begins with the same letter as words such as funky, fashionable, and fun? coincidence? we think not.

well, 5 inch and up is a blog that is all three of those things, so in keeping with the trend, it only seems right to grant it with some friday blog love!

sandra is a girl that seems to have avant-garde running through her veins right down to her 5 inch heels (see what i did there?!), and her unconventional sense of style will leave you intrigued and excited every time she pulls an outfit out the bag!

she holds an enviable knack for making the unmatchable work in perfect harmony, and posts like too cold for comfort and feather braid have left the ladies of vitaminwater hq totally inspired to mix things up!

happy friday!

it’s a week into the new year, the bleary eyes and weary heads are still dotted around vitaminwater hq, and blog reading has proved somewhat difficult! however, we’re not ones to leave you in the lurch, so we’re chucking a bitesized chunk of eye candy your way instead…

mind my bizness is a blog that showcases a collection of photographs taken by ollie, who has taken it upon himself to perform the essential public service of capturing the finest moments from the capital’s hottest events.

snapping the who’s who of london’s underground party scene, he’s also caught some familiar faces out and about including mr hudson, alesha dixon, and rising star jessie j!

so next time you’re out, keep a sneaky eye out because you may just find yourself in front of ollie’s lens!

blog love time again, and we’re giving you a cracker for the last one of 2010!

this week we hand a ton of the love over to electric zoo, a fine music blog that is currently feeding our incessant cravings for good music. making light work of hand picking the finest new musical talent, their trusty recommendations have left our speakers (and ears) suitably satisfied!

and because we’re about to say goodbye to a year filled with countless audible high points, make it your priority to check out their ‘top’ lists for 2010 including the top labels and top 20 tracks of 2010, which include a host of veritable rising stars such as joy orbison, girl unit and james blake.

so get stuck into electric zoo to set your new years festivities off in good stead! and if you’re on twitter, don’t forget to follow them too.

happy new year everyone!

this week’s express delivery of blog love is scheduled for nerdbanite‘s doorstep, a great youth culture blog who have taken it upon themselves to report on the latest movements in the art, music and style spheres. 

and we couldn’t be more grateful – as they’ve very kindly given us the heads up on some of the capital’s coolest events, be it the latest club nights, right through to those blink-and-you’ll-miss-it sample sales!

these guys also take their music very seriously, and have interviewed their fair share of rising stars from the dubstep and d&b scenes – including 2000f and mantra.

so the next time you’re in need of a bit of urban inspiration, be sure to take note of nerdbanite’s trusty recommendations!

friday rolls around again, and we’ve got a lotta love to go round! but in particular, we’re sending a ton of it over to fashion bake, written by jessica whose fashion sense has left us somewhat weak at the knees!

she’s got rock chic down to a tee, and her eccentric sense of style ensures she never gets the ‘same-outfit-as-everyone-else’ fear! she’s also a girl after our own hearts with a penchant for d.i.y, and we can’t help but love her self customised denim jacket!

she can also take a mean photo, spot the hottest new tunes, and can be found at some pretty cool shindigs – making this one a must read!

if you’re on twitter, be sure to follow her too!

happy friday!

who says bass filled goodness can’t come in small yellow packages? we certainly don’t.

and we’re pretty certain that we are not a rockband would agree. their blog knows all things electro, drum & bass, and dubstep – performing the essential public service of delivering the most talented new artists, the freshest new videos, and essential weekly events to your doorstep (or computer screen, even). 

these guys also aren’t afraid to get up close and personal with genre heavyweights, interviewing acts such as boys noise, a-trak, and disco of doom. also keep a regular sneaky eye on their updates, as they provide the heads up on the latest mixes such as this corker from bassnectar. 

it must be a tough life, mixing with the cream of the world’s cutting edge music acts – but someone’s gotta do it, and we think they’re doing a darn good job of it so far!

as always, if you’re on twitter – follow them here!

til next week’s blog love… happy listening!
