Last name London First name Theophilus

You heard of him before but...Theophilus London

....Actually not from London.

This guy is a rapper/singer originally from Brooklyn NYC, not from the deep South - as the cowboy hat featured in several of his music videos would lead you to believe. 

Wine and Chocolates is currently doing the rounds - remixed by two Cologne DJs- Andhim. 


Timez Are Weird These Nights ; 

Whilst enjoying the originals I also came across the remixes which are great  - various DJs feature; Skream, Brodinski and Crookers, and the remixed album is available on Spotify whereas the official isn't available yet. Perfect for pounding some kilometres out and keeping the energy high.

Bakermat.. 

A friend also introduced me to a great session on SoundCloud by Bakermat. The beauty of it is, the track listings are below so finding new music is so easy. Funeral by Band of Horses is the intro for the mix. However, the Band of Horses album is a sad let down in comparison to this stand alone song.

Lustss of the weeeek

Trapstar... Again

I just fucking bumm this make.... not only is it supercool (check out their satin black bomber jacket) but popular amongst my idols Cara D/Rihanna, who are frequently papped promoting and wearing their shiz. Their tag line "It's a secret" I have a feeling, it ain't gonna stay that for much longerrr....


...And since a pesky man has stolen my BOY London sweat and is adamantly refusing to give it me back, my attention has turned to the recently repleted sweatshirt stock from Trapstar. I want this one in a Large please! Black&Gold. Lions. Supercool.


And I will happily add to m collection of bobble hats. The red one I already have is quite punchy, but when worn with a bike leather J and some chelsea boots, is surpassingly acceptable - even in Waitrose. Although I did have a bit of a conundrum as to what to do with the green plastic coin they gave me at the checkout. I assumed it was for parking, so kept it. I now have it floating round my car ashtray, whilst some poor charity is clearly desperately needing more coins.

 

TOPSHOP.... yesssssss please




I want this outfit so much, I am even willing to give up my gangster wants for this British made jacket and cami combo. Wear with black boots, bouncy hair and red lips to finish off. 

Finally got the canon

Devastating news, last week I managed to lose my third, possibly fourth, point and shoot camera. After arguing numerous times with my mother - that I am responsible, and never lose my belongings, I think I owe her an apology on this one. Rather than being stolen, or broken, I accidentally dropped my Sony point and shoot in a bar without realising. So RIP little cammy - you did me proud. I actually bought it in Bali, so I have some very fond memories of it.

However, whilst this was going on, I bit the bullet and finally ordered the Canon 600D. It's mid-range but perfect for what I want to use it for. It has the swinging LCD back so you can take photos from loads of different angles. I'm having a lot of fun playing with it - which is good because revision is so boring! Here are a few shots I took whilst in Bath over the weekend.

This is on Royal Crescent, the postcard crescent synonymous with Bath. It's a shame about all the cars really, but it is still very touristy.





I enjoyed the name of this trinket shop. 

Same Same but Different, is a cafe just at the top of Bath. It looked delicious but was completely overfilled so unfortunately we weren't able to eat there which was a shame. I also love the name of this cafe - reminds me of the Vietnamese. 

This is my beautiful friend Zoe.

Where's Wally?
These are just a selection. Cannot wait to fully get started. I'm already saving (well not really) for the 50mm f1.4 lens so I can take some bokeh-tastic shots.
