June 3rd: NYC Day 1
Here I am, back in my 2nd home and beloved Big Apple. This week marks the 10th Anniversary of the first urban running crew forming and to mark the occasion NYC's BridgeRunners have planned a big blow-out "Bridge The Gap". To explain - the movement that began running over the Brooklyn bridge has born an international extended family which connects all the World's capital's separate crews who travel to each city's homes for reunions. This usually involves a weekend break to coincide with a marathon or race but this is a very special 7 day event programme which has attracted runners to fly in from all across the globe. I arrived last night and here are a few snaps from my wanderings including a Kenny Scharf graffiti, Kavat Mask from Papua New Guinea at The Museum Of Primitive Art, and meeting up with some fellow Londoners L-R Troy The Magician, Sami Janjer and Nathaniel Cole.
Tuesday 3rd June: BikeDemCrew, London to Brighton
The Cyclists of RunDemcrew have made an offshoot "BikeDemCrew" and been going on long distance rides the last few weekends in preparation for the Dunwich Dynamo next month. It's become apparent that the mountain bike I've had since I was 12 is not quite up to speed (literally) so I have finally caved in and invested in a proper road bike from Hackney Peddlers. Just in time for the London to Brighton ride that we made on Sunday! It took the best part of the day to scale the many hills that route the course, not to mention the vertical slant of Ditchling Beacon. Fish 'n' Chips and a 99 ice-cream on the beach was a very welcome and joyous celebration at the end of the 54 miles!

Friday 30th May : Peter Jensen Resort 2015
In keeping with his tradition of basing collections on inspirational female figures, this season was the the turn of Yoko Ono for Peter Jensen's latest resort collection.
Resort '15 takes inspiration from key moments in Ono's life, from her infamous pricey apple to her career-defining cut piece. Jensen's signature use of repeated phrase appears in the form of a 'YES YES YES' sweater, referencing the very artwork that bought Ono to John Lennon's attention.
Slashed tee's, 60's silhouettes, bright tones and graphic prints make for a bold collection that embodies Yoko Ono's strong female persona, humour and desire to stand out from a crowd.
