If I Were A Boy...
No, I have not become a Beyonce fan (kill that thought right now and stamp on it til you never knew it existed. Serious.) I just thought I would take the time to compile a little menswear post as I have recently noticed the lack of published material for the alternative young man. Jake (the BF...if you follow me on Twitter you will have heard of him. Big guy. Good cook.) wears a lot of the stuff I would so love to work if I were a boy and I noticed he never has a decent place to browse for all the stuff he'd like. Sure he can visit all his usual haunts (most of which will be linked below) but wouldn't it be nice if he could get them all in one place? Maybe I'll start something.....but not today. So here's a smorgasbord of shit we like. Enjoy :)

Drop Dead
I'm loving Bring Me The Horizon frontman Oli Sykes' label Drop Dead
If you haven't been to their new store in Brick Lane, you really should. I saw this dress online back when their website was basic and an actual shop was just an ambition for this brand, but I didn't want to buy it because the model looked a lot slimmer than me and I didn't think I could do it justice. Having tried it on in the shop, I fell in love with it!(I might add this was an interesting experience given I'm 5'5" and I smacked my elbows on the light fitting when getting changed in their teeny tiny little changing room. You can imagine what it was like for my 6'1" boyfriend when he tried on his pacman tshirt....he subsequently bought it regardless of the trauma)
Drop Dead are a pretty cool brand...they have the rocky alternative thing down whilst managing to stay fashionable and not slip into lame emo territory as is so often the case [see Criminal Damage circa 2005 and Iron Fist accessories]
Nice work Oli!
