Batman X Lazy Oaf

And so The Dark Knight Rises in East London as local brand Lazy Oaf launches a stunning Batman collection pour les mesdames et messieurs.

Available online and instore the range, in collaboration with DC Comics, features six menswear styles and nine pieces for women. Whilst the men's apparel is of a retro, tongue-in-cheek flavour the women's collection exudes rather a stunning, gothic twist on those infamous DC logos. 

Particular love goes out to the women's sheer top, batwing blouse, leggings and body suit. They're fun and they're hawwt, so get involved before this much-hyped collection goes:

Life's a Beach at the Roxy Pro

Last week I was pretty fortunate to be sent to France cover the penultimate stop of the Women's World Surfing Tour - The Roxy Pro... if you haven't seen my event round up check it out on the SD lifestyle blog!

Not only was I there with the team there to bring you the latest surf reports and event gossip, hang out with the pros, eat croissants, vin rouge and get my own feet wet (hard life!) - I was also out papping the most fashionable faces in Biarritz. So here they are!:
