team GB kit launch - adidas and Stella McCartney

Today saw the launch of the Team GB kit for the London 2012 Olympic games.


"Nearly a century's worth of Olympic glory. Powered by adidas.

We've owned some of the British team's sweetest moments since we took over as official kit supplier in 1984. As photographer Jacob Sutton's film shows, we've seen records set, medals won, and legends made.

And for the first homegrown Olympic Games in a generation, we've taken Team GB and ParalympicsGB's kit to the next level. The ultimate fusion of style and technology, British spirit has never looked so sharp.

World-renowned fashion designer Stella McCartney has called the shots on the design front, and our brightest tech-heads have put our best athletes through their paces in state-of-the-art wind tunnels and climate chambers. The game has been raised and the stage is now set.

Presenting a fresh twist on the iconic Union Jack, it's a kit that's designed to make the nation proud.

And our team faster, stronger, and cooler." - adidas

You can now buy the kit and team GB fan wear from adidas.co.uk

The tune featured in the video has got bags of swag. It's by BIGkids and is called Drum In Your Chest.

H&M Exclusive Conscious Collection, 2012

I'm completely speechless about Exclusive Conscious Collection from H&M. It's AMAZING!
The cuts, colours and fabrics are stunning and combined create the best H&M collection I have ever seen. Hands down.
I want every single piece I can get my hands on so here's hoping H&M don't have stock issues or the site doesn't go down from the increased demand!

Pi Day

Well, if you're American, the date today is 3.14 (14th March) - Pi Day!

To celebrate, Mashable has created a cute slideshow of accessories for maths geeks. This is my fave - a Pi symbol ice tray, $12.98.

Elton John vs. PNAU - Good Morning To The Night





Just listening to Pete Tong's latest Radio one show and the essential new tune was Elton John vs. PNAU - Good Morning To The Night. Yes, Elton John. The tune is a reinterpretation of 'Mona Lisa and Mad Hatter' by Elton John.
Summer's around the corner :)

that bar, on that Street, in that area

The same guys behind Bourne & Hollingsworth in Fitrovia have come up with an interesting concept called The Fourth Wall which is London's first wandering bar. It will be a replica of Bourne & Hollingsworth but in different locations every week, open every Friday and Saturday between 5pm - 1am.

The Fourth Wall’s weekly location remains a secret. Notes, emails, messages and codes will be left around London. What an innovative concept!


In the same vein, if you're in Amsterdam, go to Door74. A bar on a small side street, behind an unmarked, black door which serves the best cocktails in town. Make sure you call before though.
