LA DA DEE LA DEE DA DA

One of my favourite bands of the moment covering one of my top 10 songs EVER.

Euphoric.

Little Dragon - Gypsy Woman (La Da Dee) (Crystal Waters Cover) (BBC Radio 1) by twelvemajorchords

Dey is well good laa.

PY

S'all about Py's new track with Throwing Snow.... WALLOW.

Beautiful video. Beautiful voice. Tight track.

What more could you want?!

SHIRLEY TEMPLE

Perfect afternoon for a Shirley Temple cocktail, all you need is:

- a couple of glugs of Lemonade
- a slosh of Grenadine
- 1 Orange slice
- a fresh cherry

.... and BOOM!

FGM

Went to a swapshop the other night in order to help raise money for the 28TooMany charity. It was an evening dedicated to swapping unwanted clothes as well as raising awareness of FGM (Female Genital Mutilation) and money for the charity. FGM is still practised in 28 countries within Africa in order to promote cultural identity, religion and tradition, to improve marriage prospects and preserve virginity, chastity and family honour.

As you can imagine it is an extremely painful and unnecessary tradition which can cause major health problems. Please go and check out the website to find out more and donate a few quid. You could even hold a swap shop yourself!!! With thanks to my friend's sister we collectively raised over £500 which is good going for a small group of ladies. I managed to bag myself a TOTALLY TROPICAL pinny for a fiver!

SUMMERTEARZ

Been rinsing the new Little Dragon album over the last few days, loving it so far.

This tune's outstanding for me, here's a wee a capella version for you, using tuned bottles!

SLIPPY SLIDE

Absolutely gutted. R.I.P beautiful. WISHED this day wouldn't come.

GWAN

GO AND CHECK OUT THE ECHELON TUMBLRRRRRRR

AROUSED

AHH ye. Liking this, and the video's sick.

SUMMER-SUMMER-SUMMERTIME

Got this summery remix on repeat at the mo.

Ah yeah, wack it on at the next BBQ.

KEY-LIME-PIE!

Check out my buddy's AFRIKANA inspired garms and accessories over at Key Lime Pie.


Absolutely GAWJUS.

DANIEL THOMAS

ECHELON featured in a Daniel Thomas (graduate menswear designer) 'festival fashion shoot'.

Go check him out.

FANNY-PACK

So, made a wee bum bag for one of my bezzies as a birthday present. Adjustable waist band and lined. Handmade lovingly.

When I get more fabric they will be available to order, just HOLLA (helenechelon@gmail.com).



What you reckon?

STYLENANDA

Found a gem of a website which is basically h&m/american apparel/ topshop/uniqlo all rolled into one, but from Korea, well cheap and bon and half of your mates won't have it! Good ay? It's called STYLENANDA.

Some items/outfits that took my fancy:








Go and have a gander! Wayyyyy

WORLDWIDE (sort of)

So... ECHELON is soon to be available in Jolly Brown (Hitchin) and Mother Drucker (Berlin).

AHHHHH YE.

Lots of late nights, rage blackouts, blood/sweat/tears over the next few days but it should all be worth it. Make sure you go to one of the outlets and have a browse... vintage garms and artwork ready for you to peruse!

For now, the only thing keeping me going is the onepiece I am wrapped up in and this on repeat:

"MAYA'S WEARING BOOTY SHORTS.."

GILLES MIX

Ughhh too good to miss this mix. Nicked it off my brudder over @ TUMBLEWEAVE.

Get things done with this on.
