Barbour Dress Tartan
One of the things that interests me most when looking into long established brands is how they move with the times while maintaining a strong sense of heritage. I discovered Barbour are launching their new Dress Tartan collection with the help of the well known bloggers featured in the video above. They're a brilliant example of how a brand can retain a strong sense of itself but still evolve for a new generation through collaborations (with companies like Liberty), new ranges like this one and even opening new lines of communication by embracing social media like Facebook and Tumblr. I'll definitely be keeping an eye out and taking a peek at the whole collection when it becomes available.
I'm looking forward to catching the rest of the ladies' videos and voting on Friday.

Denim Mythbusters
Some of my favourite streetwear brands have beautifully cut denim pieces in their arsenal but I'm only just starting to learn about the phenomena of selvedge denim and all of its quirky rituals - this video from The Crosby Press helped bust a couple of the more common ones...
Label Love - Zoe & Morgan
You might have noticed in last week's 'Things I would buy...' post that I enjoy a bit of an All Seeing Eye motif, it was this that caught my eye (which isn't all that great at seeing, ironically) while perusing the internet earlier.
Zoe & Morgan are one of the few brands to pick up "trendy" icons like skulls, anchors, stars and geometric Aztec-style designs and produce them in edgy styles that still have a timeless appeal.
Here are some of my favourites...
I Heart Necklace in Sterling Silver with a Mother of Pearl skull and Heart Skull Necklace in Sterling Silver featuring a tiny heart locket and key clasp.
