Air Guitar UK, the official organisers of the UK Air Guitar Championships, have announced the time and place for 2011's event.

Now in its 6th year, the official UK Air Guitar Championships will be held on Saturday the 20th of August at The Garage in Islington, North London. The 2011 Championships, organised by Air Guitar UK, aiming to find the country's greatest air guitarist, who will be crowned UK Air Guitar Champion, and win a once in a lifetime trip to represent Britain in the battle for global supremacy at the World Air Guitar Championships in Finland.

Artistic Director, Danny Robertson, speaking from Air Guitar UK's headquarters earlier today, lay down the challenge:
“Calling all Air-heads! You bedroom braggarts, pub pool-cue pluckers, unseen Strat strummers and mirror movers with the sharp manoeuvres - The gauntlet is thrown! The time is set! The place is decided! You can't dodge fate. Feel it in the pit of your stomach? That's the air calling, and it wants YOU! This year's UK Air Guitar Championships, the ultimate battle to decide the country's greatest air guitarist, an air-off of epic proportions and spectacle not to be missed, will be held on Saturday the 20th of August at The Garage in London.”

In the run up to the Championships, Air Guitar UK will be attempting another world record for the largest Air Guitar Ensemble in partnership with Action on Hearing Loss at this year's WOMAD Festival on Sunday 31st July.

Whatever Happend to P-Rock? 2nd Birthday at The Macbeth this Saturday!




Hey fashion fans!

Excuse my lack of updates. Been super busy DJing at Soul/Swing/Rock and Roll night Let's Twist Again at Shoreditch's Catch Bar, which happens on the third Friday of every month, and also helping my friends out with their club night Stitch!

Stitch! hosted a room at Bournemouth night We are your Friends: The Block Party, which saw us decorating the top room of The Old Fire Station club with hearts, stars and a whole manner of pretty things! Music was crunk, electro, house and hip hop! I had the best time! Stitch! also held their second London club night at Catch Bar with a Lil jon theme. It was a great turn out also and the dance floor packed all night. The decor was equally as crazy too with leopard and zebra print all over the walls and silver dollar signs up in homage to the king of crunk himself!

But am back to let you know that a ska/punk/hardcore/emo night I DJ at is turning 2! To celebrate its birthday, the night will be free and the extended licence means we'll be partying til 4am! Expect the likes of Rancid, Lagwagon, Green Day, Voodoo Glow Skulls, Pennywise, Goldfinger, Reel Big Fish Less than Jake, Distillers, Blink 182, Midtown plus many more from me.

Been gigging and reviewing lots of shows recently too. Expect reviews from London Ska Festival, MC Lars, The Urban Voodoo Machine and Slam Dunk Festival up soon. Also an interview I did with Less than Jake at Slam Dunk. I was backstage at the event bumping into the likes of MC Lars, Reel Big Fish and a whole host of other bands playing the event! So much fun! In the mean time check out writing by me here:

Get Rihanna's Look- What's my Name Video


GTL01!
Our First "Get the Look" Who else could we choose but the Fabulous Rihanna and her amazing variety of Outfits made it hard to pick but we paricularly love the outfit in "What's My Name"
As a special treat here's the video for you!!

Now for the Look :

Misticon Rihanna Barbados Shorts
Misticon Rihanna Dock Blazer

Get the Look straight of the Catwalk SS11


New Season Dresses in Stock Now
Jewell Embellished Tank Dress Lanvin SS11


We loved this summer's Catwalk and we could get enough of coral dresses and over the top stud embellishment. So we created some of our own

Must have spring summer trends





If you like our Rihanna style trend -why not check out some of our beautiful brights and our fab wallet loving basics range





The New Spring Collection has arrived. Designed by Ex Volcom and O'Neill Snowboarder, Topshop Designer and Firetrap Model Charlotte Dutton. The Spring Summer 11 clothing collection incorporates this seasons must have trends including spring brighs, tangerine clothing, denim shirts, beautiful maxi dresses, shift dresses, party dress, Rihanna What's My Name Shorts, Loose Knits, Harem Pants, Leopard Print Dresses, and cute summer beach dresses. Everything you need to look on trend this summer from the UK's Only independent ladies boardsports brand. Based in London.

How to wear Prints this summer

One of spring summer 2011's biggest trends is prints. Be it animal prints, morrocan or tribal loud prints graced every catwalk over the September fashion week season.
So we thought we'd compile some of our top tips for working this trend.

Tip One: Stick to one print at a time. Make sure you pair loud prints with simple tailoring and colours. With your plain items make sure they match up a colour with a print.
Charlotte Dutton (Designer of Misticon) above teams the Wild Things Dress (available on our store for £21.99) with Simple black accessories to draw out the best in the print.

Coloured Animal prints are also a massive trend for spring a great way to show these off is with some hot colour matching detail like Charlotte has styled above. Sombrero bag available in store now £24.99


Not Feeling brave enough to wear a full Leopard print dress?
Animal prints can be intimidating - so why not try something tamer like a morrocan or ethnic style print.
Nothing feels more summery than walking around in a fabulous tribal maxi dress
Check out Charlotte modelling The Ankle Buster Dress only £41.99

Looking for something a little more unusual out of your prints? Then Why not try a graphic printed garment using all key colour brights. The rules work the same again here try to pair your printed garment with something the same colour.

All of these garments can be bought at www.misticon.com

Misticon and Charlotte Dutton at the World Premiere of Chalet Girl

We were invited to attend the World Premiere of Chalet Girl (a film about girl snowboarders) last night at Westfield Shopping Centre in London.
We had a great time and really enjoyed the Film and After Party (which was all themed around apres-ski style with the idea of bringing the outdoors of the Alps inside with snow, Christmas tress, ski's, snowboards, icicles, Vodka luges and so much more.

'Chalet Girl' is a comedy about having the guts to ‘take the jump’.

Pretty tomboy Kim Matthews, 19, used to be a champion skateboarder - but now she’s stuck in a dead end job trying to support her Dad. Opportunity comes knocking in the form of a catering job in the one of the most exclusive chalets in the Alps.

At first, Kim’s baffled by this bizarre new world of posh people, champagne and skiing - but then she discovers snowboarding, and the chance to win some much-needed prize money at the big end-of-season competition.

But before she can become a champion again, Kim’s going to have to dig deep to overcome her fears. Hard enough, without the complicating factor of Jonny, her handsome – though spoken for – boss...

Chalet Girl's hits cinema's nation wide on the 16th of March and we would recommend you check it out. It's an easy to watch film with a good sountrack and awesome tricks performed by the doubles.





We especially loved Bill Bailey's Character in the Film and the Cameo by Tara Dakides!

Check out the Trailer here:


Check out Photo's of Charltotte Dutton on the Red carpet just before we met the lovely Bill Bailey and Director Phil Trail.

Djing at Stitch! and a couple of reviews...



Happy belated new year! Hope you had a good one. I am fresh back from my trip to Australia where I had been travelling around for the past month. Had an amazing time over there and managed to cram in a load of gigs, beach bumming, clubs, restaurants, aquariums, zoos, shopping, surfing as well as lots of sight-seeing in Melbourne, Sydney and Canberra. I even had Christmas dinner with an actor from Neighbours, can you belive it?! It was the Aussie dream! Bonza!

I wrote a couple of reviews before I went away too. One is from a Drums gig in Kentish Town and the other was of a Madness show at Earls Court.

How to wear Orange and Tangerine Trend this SS11

Or to be more specific you know when you've been hit by a shed load of tangerine. The must have colour of SS11 is tangerine and any varient of it. Feeling intimidated?
So were we when it came to designing flattering in clothes in a bright colour- but we got to grips and rose wit hthe challenge- producing some very easy to wear orange/coral and fluoro pieces for our ss11 collection.
Top Five tips on wearing Tangerine/Orange Colours:
1- TO TAN OR NOT TO TAN?
Either way, orange as a colour in general can be a bit intimidating but the fact of the matter is that this colour in most hues will really set off every skin tone from porcelean to darker tones. Just make sure if you have to tan you use top quality product so you dont end up matching your new dress.
2- NOT QUITE DARING ENOUGH?
Pretty much every designer were making accesories to match their apparel in this colour. If your feeling a bit afraid of donning an all orange outfit why not buy a cute statement hand bag and instant bring old wardobe favourites on trend?
3- WHAT DO I WEAR IT WITH?
When we were styling our SS11 shoot this week we mused through our racks piecing outfits together. On a lot of runways we saw head to toe hughes- but we recommend teaming tangerine with a bright printed shorts, skirts and shirts to give you a really wow look.
4- WHEN DO I WEAR IT
From now in you will start to see tangerine hit the stores- the fashion mags have already started to pull the new collections for their upcoming features. So it might be a good idea to get out their now and figure our which tone and cut is for you.

To help you out we've pulled some of our favourite designs in this epic colour way:
