These days simply producing products of the moment isn't enough and labels that rely on "in trend" styles soon learn how fickle the industry can be. This brings us to Quoddy, a company that creates handmade products that scream excellence and style yet feel the need not to make a song and dance about it. Generally flying under the radar in terms of exposure Quoddy allow the shoes they craft to speak for themselves. Timeless in aesthetic and comfortable from the start each Quoddy shoe gets better with every wear.
We've selected three of our favourite styles in hand-picked materials and colour combinations. Not only perfect for wearing sockless in summer Quoddy's footwear is easily wearable for the transition into colder months. Our full Quoddy range featuring the Blucher, Maliseet and Chukka can be viewed here.

The Armani Caffe concept is the first of it's kind and it will stock a variety of Armani branded food and drink. The interiors and furniture have been provided by Armani Casa and with a more formal set up than the already popular Emporio Armani Caffe chain I think this is going to be a huge success.

Everyone who is anyone has been in Cannes, the elite of the fashion crowd and the Hollywood creme de la creme. We all eagerly awaited the opening ceremony which served as the premiere of the most eagerly anticipated movie of the year 'The Great Gatsby'. Glamorous looks unfolded all evening proving once again that Cannes is the playground for the rich and famous, the event where the saying 'go big or go home' was invented, did not disappoint.
Gowns glided down the red carpet to the sound of paparazzi light bulbs flashing and uncharacteristic rain showers didn't dampen the evening. Leading lady Carey Mulligan wore a blush matte satin Dior Couture gown with bold red statement lips. The British star was glowing in her spotlight moment with her handsome co star Leonardo Di Caprio, oh ladies we do love him! I'm not sure what I'm looking forward to more, the Gatsby wardrobe or Leonardo himself.

Some of my personal favourites of the night were Frieda Pinto's custom made Gucci coral silk chiffon halter gown with embellished waist, she managed to incorporate a Bollywood feel to Gucci. The braided up do and Chopard jewels were also the perfect accents.

French actress Vahina Giocante grabbed the attention in a vibrant electric blue Elie Saab chiffon gown. Against the red carpet this jewel tone dress really stood out, her stylist certainly gets the thumbs up.
Whether you have your own premiere to attend or you just have the Gatsby bug, steal the Cannes style with opulent eveningwear from us here at Cruise.

Costco - the place to pick up cheap booze, plain multi-pack tees and now a full scale F1 Simulator for your front room. That's right, the famed wholesalers are now selling life-size replica F1 cars with a built in racing simulator. Produced by FMCG International and costing £89,999 (a lot less than a real Formula 1 car) the simulator is powered by an Intel Core i7 (a processor capable of unknown capacity), has 16 gigs of RAM, comes kitted out with a 5.1 audio system with subwoofer behind the driver's seat and a non-specified graphics card outputting to three 23" adjustable TFT monitors. We don't know what all that means either but we do like what we see and can imagine countless hours lost within its carbon fiber shell, real wheels, tyres, chromed-out exhaust tips - well, the lot really.
As close to driving a Formula 1 car as humanly possible for someone who isn't and F1 driver, the simulator can be ordered in your choice of team colours here.

Glowing on the red carpet at Cannes on Saturday night, Cheryl Cole certainly was worth it! The Newcastle beauty looked just like a movie star in her Zuhair Murad gown at the premiere of Jimmy P (Psychotherapy of a Plains Indian). In true glamorous Cannes style Cole dazzled in the AW13 maroon embellished gown with an illusion neckline, she finished her look with a sexy bouffant and loose braid.

Cheryl is in Cannes in her capacity as an ambassador for L'Oreal Paris, alongside Eva Longoria, Doutzen Kroes, Megan Dale and fitness guru Jane Fonda. Both Eva and Cheryl have been pictured in Murad gowns and the similarities do not stop there, Eva tweeted 'Me and my twin sister @cherylcole at Cannes'. Cheryl then quickly responded 'It was like looking at a prettier reflection, ha!' I have to certainly agree too, they do look related to one another, both with chocolate doe eyes, amazing bone structure and dimples. Eva Longoria wore her Zuhair Murad SS13 Couture gown to the premiere of Le Passe on Friday night. She looked absolutely fabulous.
