Devendra Banhart Live At Union Transfer
I remember when I was first introduced to Devendra… It was during my university days. My best friend and I stalked a band on Myspace and went to see them when they played at a small venue in Bristol. After the show we had a few drinks with the members and — as you’d expect when you socialize with a band — music was the number one subject. They told us to listen to Devendra Banhart and so we did… and we fell in love. Read More
Office Style: Black on Black
Last week’s office style was all about white looks, and it just so happened that everyone this week was wearing the opposite — black on black! There is something so chic about wearing all black. It reminds me of that quintessential city-rocker girl. Finishing off with black leather jackets, beanies and boots, I was really digging how edgy the office was looking. It was nice to see the juxtaposition of last week’s lightness to the darker side of things this week. Read More
Festival Fashion & Music Highlights From Field Trip Festival!
Discussion: The Efforts Of Being Effortless
In our newest short film Neighbor, Daisy Lowe plays a girl who is trying to get the attention of her neighbor across the way. We see her putting in a great deal of effort to appear effortlessly beautiful. In the first scene, she wakes up in the morning and quickly ducks to the floor to hide from him until she has put on some makeup and her sexiest lingerie. In another scene, she takes a store-bought pie out of a box and places it on a plate, being sure to get some flour on her face to appear as if she’s baking (again, wearing sexy lingerie). But as the short film progresses, we see her and her neighbor form a relationship and she becomes far more natural – joking with him playfully through the window, she wears a casual sweater, messy ponytail, and no makeup. Behind this sweet love story is a message, and it’s all about the effort we put in, in order to appear effortless. Read More
