MONDAY MIXTAPE PT. II

                                          Hello again people. Hope you enjoyed our first mixtape post last Monday. If you've somehow already got bored of those four beauties, then fear not, for as promised we bring you another handful of gems that have been getting everyone nodding their head this week. Some new, some old, some for the weekend, some not. Don't worry, the same theme remains - you can always find what these artists are rocking somewhere in Blitz.
                                        

                                          Let's start off with a tune that often sneaks on the speakers during the week.
                                        

                                          Mos Def is one of the few rappers that turned to acting and was actually good at it. Don't think we'll be seeing him in The Fast and Furious 7 any time soon. He likes to wear basketball vests which we stock for £15 and big collared denim jackets, £25.
                                        

                                          Next up let's change the mood with an older tune that everyone at work enjoys.
                                        

                                          Tina Weymouth was a big success not just as part of Talking Heads. She knew how to dress too, sporting a trend that's still around today (and this was written in 1981). Whether it be a cute minidress (£28) or denim shorts (£20) and a crop top (£18), you're guaranteed to put together this look effortlessly.
                                        

                                          This band are one of our favourites at work, although weird at times.
                                        

                                          Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti take big influence from 70's pop, and have the style to match. Ariel Pink himself can resemble Kurt Cobain a lot too, being seen live with ripped Levi's 501s (£20) and Converse (only £10 now). A timeless look.
                                        

                                          Last but by no means least, the only new song in the roster.
                                        

                                          Admittedly we don't stock any of Mickey Moonlight's outer space outfits, but who cares, this is an awesome tune and deserves to be played anyway.
                                        

                                          We hope you enjoy your second dose of music to cure those Monday blues...

SPRINGTIME PASTELS

This SS12 we can't get enough of pastel colours. We saw spearmint green at Dior, lemon at Nicole Farhi and a washed out pink at Lanvin.

If you can't decide which of spring's pastel palette suits you best, get down in store to dry on many more dresses like these!

MONDAY MIXTAPE

Starting this week, we're going to be posting a mixtape with a few songs we like, and, y'know, because it would be boring to just post songs, we'll be showing you what you could find in store that these artists would most definitely be wearing right now. You may walk into Blitz and wonder; what music is blaring through our speakers? And who could have such incredible music taste as to play it? Now you don't have to ask.

Today we're going to start off with some classic tropical stuff.

Kid Creole seems to find his way into everyone's record collection, of if you're young enough, your parents'. The guys can be seen wearing awesome wide leg suits and classic gangster-esque trilbies. We just so happen to have those suits for £65 and those trilbies for £15. The girls are sporting some lovely evening dresses (on sale at £20) and necklaces (£12).

Next up we have a band more of this generation.

Veronica Falls have been getting hype left right and centre but what no one seemed to have noticed is how much Blitz clothes they've obviously been buying. In this video James Hoare has some smart buckled monk shoes which we have on sale for £20. Roxanne Clifford wears a stunning white polka dot blouse which we have plenty of, each at £15.

This song sounds like it was written decades ago but this band only formed in 2006.

The Growlers are from California, and have strong southern and country influences. They must have been in Blitz recently because their outfits look very much like they're made out of our Western shirts, on sale for £10, and our fleece lined winter coats at only £50.

This artist takes huge influence from Knightrider episodes and eighties soundtracks. Yes please.

Com Truise says he learnt how to write his music just downloading computer software and making things up at home. He doesn't feature in this video but we've seen him around sporting some pretty dope college sweaters (£24 for you) and Levi's 501 jeans (£20), both of which look great on guys or girls.

Stay tuned for next week's mix...
