downforwhatever Golf Day


Celebrity golfers bathed in sunshine at the downforwhatever Golf Day to make it the most successful one to date. With teams taking part at Hanbury Manor golf course in Ware, the day proved a big hit and even the weather played ball.


The event kicked off with bacon butties, followed by a shotgun start on the club’s Course. A three-course lunch was served upon completion of the competition, followed by the awards presentations.


The winning team was captained by Danny Gabbidon, with Vernon Kay's team coming in second and Spoony's team third. Danny Gabbidon scooped the nearest-the-pin trophy, and Eric Caffan won the longest drive.


“I would like to thank all of our headline sponsors Gabicci, Nautica Watches & New Era Global Sports Management, and also to say well done to all the winners. It was definitely a most successful day.”

Timex Launches The Vintage-Based “Originals”Collection


You know the old saying “Everything old is new again?” Well, when it comes to fashion, it couldn’t be more true! My mother always told me to never throw anything out because it always comes back into fashion in one way or another. I have a feeling many people will probably feel the same way when they check out the new Timex collection: “Originals.”

This fantastic new collection, a series of remixed designs from the brand’s archives, will be showcased for a limited time at Henri Bendel’s Fifth Avenue window shop on the first floor from now until August 30th. It includes Timex classics such as the Camper and Easy Reader, reinterpreted to appeal to a more contemporary audience with larger faces and fashion-forward colors. Oh, and get this: the price range for the collection is $50 – $110, which is a mind blowing steal for the quality and style of these extremely cool watches! Get to Henri Bendel’s now to get your watches before it’s too late, because with that kind of design and at that price, they won’t be around very long.


Spotted at the launch party for Timex “Originals” was Olivia Palermo, wearing the Timex Originals Easy Reader with brown metallic strap (£60), my personal favorite in the collection. Gossip Girl Kelly Rutherford was spotted with the Timex Originals 1940s Inspiration with Black Face and Green Canvas Strap (£95) and Jamie-Lynn Sigler was rocking the Oversized Gold Digital (£80.) Like I said, I love them all so I can agree with these gorgeous celebs: Timex is where it’s AT this season!




There is something for everyone in the new collection – from the vintage round faces to the kitschy gold plating and 80′s rad neon digitals. With attention to detail that makes them look like they’ve been passed from generation to generation, I have a feeling accessory addicts everywhere are going to love this new collection.

www.digdeep.com


Successfully launched in April this year, digdeep unveils its new look, lacking nothing in credibility, edginess and style. The range of clothing reflects this season’s trends with an edgy touch maintaining the sporting inspiration within the graphics and design.

Their latest campaign was shot in an old paper mill on the south east banks of the River Thames to give a strong urban industrial feel to the new collection. A unique and raw location that helps personify what digdeep is all about.

Both of our campaigns to date have been shot by Phil Knott: British bred, Brooklyn based photographer who has been producing images for over a decade: rich in content and creativity, Knott presents a style that is beautiful, raw, honest and soulful which fits well with the digdeep philosophy.
Digdeep is for every young man who likes a challenge and is worn by a number of celebrities and sporting icons

Digdeep...it’s a way of life!

Brand Whore

Not that the brands mind, we presume. Any opportunity to have their logos splashed about - irony, or no irony - is a chance to market.





Breast Cancer Foundation of Singapore


Are you obsessed with the right things? ask the new print ads of Breast Cancer Foundation of Singapore. But it is not the words but the images used in these ads that draw attention and require a double take. Using Kryolan body paint and Daler Rowney Expression angled brushes and sponges, illustrator Andy Yang Soo painted a model's body and photographer Allan Ng took the pictures for the ads that suggest that perhaps women should focus on health and have their breasts checked rather than obsess about their big butts, pimples and bad hair days.

Mexico Unveils Gigantic Green Roofed Volcano Soccer Stadium

The city of Guadalajara opened a new volcano-like soccer stadium that is veritably exploding with green features! Created for the popular Chivas team by French architects Jean-Marie Massaud and Daniel Pouzet, the eco-friendly stadium features a volcano-evoking exterior that captures rainwater and processes it through wetlands for use in watering the pitch. All lighting is energy efficient, and the parking garage features natural ventilation.

Timex appears in the new Weetabix advert

The ad, created by WCRS, shows several peak athletes pulling away from the pack in a marathon race. Suddenly a group of friends, dressed in huge furry animal costumes, draw level and begin chatting casually with the athletes.

The friends then start joking amongst themselves before making a final dash for the finishing line and winning the race.
