Spider Man
From a collection titled ‘Secret Life of Heroes‘ you are bound to be expecting something interesting and thats what you get.
Greg Guillemin’s collection is quite bold and lets just say that Spiderman brushing his teeth is one of the milder ones.
Nevertheless, I absolutely love the humour and you know what, they actually make you think thoughts like ‘does Batman like grapes’. Maybe that’s just me! They also have a touch of Lichtenstein about them which is always a winner in my world.
Check out the rest of the collection here:
The Secret Life of Heroes by Greg Guillemin
A little something to get you over the hump of the week. If you haven’t seen it yet that is.
I cannot get enough of this video! Enjoy.
I discovered Marta Sabate’s work in Etsy and I am sold! I love quirky jewellery in funky colours and this ticks all my boxes for something unusual. Great as a gift or when I decide to treat myself. Gold Finger Barcelona features resin jewellery combined with found objects, dried plants and miniature figurines.
Black and gold ring
Rose earrings
Sheep Brooch
So much variety, colour, fun.

“Lively. Radiant. Lush… A color of elegance and beauty
that enhances our sense of well-being, balance and harmony.”
Every year Pantone declare a colour of the year and this year it is Emerald Green. The specific green is referenced as PANTONE 17-5641 Emerald.
Green comes in so many shades and really does have a wide spectrum of shades and hues. My favourite is actually a deep Forest Green and you can’t go wrong with Lime Green!
What is your favourite colour?
Do you have your default go-to blogs where you know you will always find something interesting, that appeals to you sense?

When: 2 March – 1 September 2013
Where: Underground Gallery, Chapel, YSP Centre and open air
REVOLUTION KID (FOX) Mannequin, Dutch wax printed cotton, fibreglass, leather, taxidermy calf head, blackberry and 24 carat gold gilded gun. 119 x 66 x 120cm ©2012, Yinka Shonibare MBE
I’ve always been intrigued by the work of Yinka Shonibare though I am yet to see it in person. If you are in the Yorkshire area you can get to see for yourself (and tell me all about it).
There is an ongoing showing of his works at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park until September, 2013. FABRIC-ATION is billed to feature over 30 works by the artist, including sculpture, film, photography and painting, many of which are shown in the UK for the first time. It gets more interesting! The works are said to include flying machines, aliens, toy paintings, food fairies, revolutionary children, spacemen and ballerinas.
If that combination doesn’t convince you, I don’t know what will!
He Can Change
Our first cool tee for the month of May comes from Threadless by Gamma Ray aka Grant Stephen Shepley. It combines two of my favourite things, humour and transformers!
Check it out here: He Can Change
Happy May Day! Did you get a day off work?
Well even if you are at work, check out our new versions of the Ankara iPad case. This one is bright blue and yellow, great for guy or gal!
Do you own a tablet? How do you store it when you are on the move?
African print jackets are a great way to add that special touch to casual or simple outfit.
Over on Polyvore, I have started putting together ‘looks’ to show ways you can rock your Urbanknit swag. Starting with the Indigo Batik Blazer which is a 3/4 sleeved cropped jacket. What better than mixing blue, white and red?
Makes a simple yet crisp look because of the contrast of the colours. What do you think? How would you wear yours?
