Harding-Lane Needlepoint Caps for Opening Ceremony

For some reason the hair dye I need seems to be sold out all over London so I shelled out for a cap instead. How awesome is this??

My ace new dead smiley face needlepoint cap is by Harding-Lane for Opening Ceremony (£30) and available from the OC London pop up store on King Street, Covent Garden or from www.openingceremony.us

Vans Launch New Camden Store

Where would indie boys and girls be without their trusty Vans Authentic plimsolls? Opening a dedicated Vans store on the old Footlocker site opposite Camden Town tube station on the High Street side is a genius move by the American skate brand. The US-style shop fit - the first of its UK stores to have this edgy, raw wood and wire, artisan warehouse style interior - gives it a more urban feel well suited to the North London muso vibe.

Although the official launch was last night, the store - which sells both men's and women's apparel, skateboards, longboards, accessories, luggage, some great snapbacks and, of course, shoes - has been open for two weeks now and the super helpful staff tell me they've been run off their feet every single day with a mixture of tourists and Londoners.

Possibly the best news from last night's launch was that the super hot, long awaited Vans' Waffle Sole iPhone Covers which started off as a promo item then went cult, selling for crazy$£ on eBay, will finally be getting a general release this August.

This new Camden store has a similar feel, interior-wise, to the Vans x DQM General Store in New York (although it's far less mainstream on the product front), so I'm hoping it's a step towards bringing this kind of upmarket, skate inspired street fashion boutique to the UK.

CATWALK CHEAT: CHANNEL CHANEL COUTURE IN UNIQLO'S BOWLER HATS

The key accessory from Chanel's stunning Autumn 2011 Couture show was undoubtedly the Bowler hat.

Karl Lagerfeld's mainly monochrome couture collection took inspiration from the brand's founder and former hat maker, Coco Chanel, with every look being sent out with a corresponding bowler.

Worn on the back of the head, these iconic hats leant a rebellious, tomboy touch.

This trend has been around for a few years now, championed by celebrities including Mischa Barton and Daisy Lowe, and featured on the catwalks of Hermes (2010) and Sonia Rykiel (2008) amongst others, as well as being featured in Chanel's Coco Mademoiselle perfume ads, and looks set to hit the High Street in a big way this winter.

Check out these great Bowler hats in black, charcoal grey or brown wool from Uniqlo (below) for a very reasonable £19.90, available in store or online now.
