Oh how I despise writing about One Direction, but I cannot help myself. Because unlike their misguided counterparts, namely JLS and the Wanted, 1D actually have decent taste when it comes to their ability to dress themselves. (Well everyone except Niall of course. GO HOME NIALL. Ireland's waiting.) Alas Niall and the boys are back for their colour blocking new video entitled 'Live While We're Young'. Naturally being the young lads in the prime of their youth and arguably their careers, Liam, Louis, Harry, Zayne and Niall live it up in a combat Jeep as they frolic around the English countryside. Zorbing, partying the night away and participating in all sorts of camping related activities.
Fun filled with the overwhelming joy of enjoying the company of your friends, the guys of 1D don trendy tweed blazers, turquoise blue hooded tops, and more rolled up short sleeve shirts/t-shirts than a back-alley tattoo shop. It may not be Givenchy or Versace for H&M, but at least they aren't roaming around in wide-neck vests, scoop neck t-shirts, over-flapped leather boots and black twisted hem trousers. (Coughs JLS & The Wanted).
Live While We're Young serves as the lead single to One Directions upcoming sophomore LP 'Take Me Home' set for general release November 12. Live While We're Young gets its official release September 30.
*Author's Note: Upon finishing writing this post and watching 1Ds new video, I have found myself singing along to their easily catchy new track. Long live 1D.
Check out the 1D lads in all their style glory in Live While We're Young via the clip below.
I will always remember the moment at the London College of Fashion's MA Graduate show back in February, in which I overheard one man rather smugly announcing 'I discovered Lana Del Rey'. My initial response being 'did you f##k' before actually stopping and asking the question 'who is Lana Del Rey again?'. 
Naturally the sultry song 'Blue Jeans' and a rather epic remixed 'Born To Die' thundered their way into the catwalk setlist. Needless to say, in amongst the transparent perspex, the organza neon dresses and the metallic futuristic cuts, I found myself loving Miss Del Rey. Hanging on every word and have never looked back. 
Del Rey is also the new face of H&M's Autumn/Winter campagin if you haven't noticed the billboards, blog sites and slightly disturbing television spots. Showcasing vintage/artistic prints, peplum designs, tweed shift dresses, angora sweaters, the occasional pastel shade and jewelled embellished collars. Recording a cover of cult classic 'Blue Velvet' as a promotional track for both H&M and The Paradise Edition. Naturally shooting a quirky and slightly sinister video as part of H&M's campaign was a must. 
A video for 'Ride' has been shot in Las Vegas with the track available to download now. Lana Del Rey's Born To Die: The Paradise Edition drops November 12. 
Having seen the newly unveiled clip late last night I can only surmise Christina Aguilera is one dirty bitch and I love it. She's got the curves. The fundamental white trash Americana chic from her Dirrty days make a welcome return making Kesha look like a choir girl. 
We are going to forget the whole 'Bionic/Not Myself Tonight' fiasco and focus on things like Burlesque, three seasons on the Voice, an amazing duet with Maroon 5 and now this pop-gem. Not to mention the fact Miss Aguilera can literally sing rings around pretty much all the other female vocalists in her genre. 
Remember the golden RnB gem 'Waterfalls' by 90s urban girl-group TLC? No? Well you should. But if you can't then do not fret because the phenomenal Stooshe have re-released it as their brand new single premièring a brand spanking new video for the track late last night.
Stooshe's version of Waterfalls is naturally a stunning offering by our talented trio. Featuring their amazing vocals, tremendous harmonies, a funky old-school hip-hop infused video and a nice little cameo by TLC. Minus Lisa LeftEye Lopes of course who tragically died in April 2002 as the result of a car accident.
Sultry songstress Lana Del Rey has premièred her brand new video for the hypnotic new single 'Ride' and it is ten minutes long!
Chosen career paths aside, the video is a cinematic wonder as to be expected. Ensuring her chosen trend of festival chic and retro Americana are dominant throughout. Swinging on an old tyre and rope in an overly studded denim fringed jacket. Serenading an audience in a run down dim-lit theatre in a vintage ivory frock.
Before a quick change into a golden cocktail dress, getting up to various rock and rolling with her biker and trucker friends. Naturally ending in a desert party with Lana donning a tribal Indian Chief's headdress and a pistol. Kehsa really has nothing on this girl.
