Looking to the future…

Hello there!

Welcome to 2012 and welcome to the new and improved Anglo-American.

Last year was incredible, but as well as being rewarding (alas not financially) it was a busy year too. I launched Anglo-American in the spring and I have to say that I learnt a lot quickly about running a preppy style blog!

I was lucky enough to get featured on some large sites and recieved tonnes of traffic overnight (thank you) however unfortunately with work commitment and other life demands I found myself not meeting the demands of my followers (sorry) and by the end of the year hadn’t updated the site in over 3months but was still receiving 50-100 visits a week.

Keep Calm & Start Again!

Thankfully 2011, with all it’s stress and complications is over and 2012 is here, therefore I have decided invest a lot of time and effort aiming to come back bigger, faster & even stronger! As I’m sure you have noticed by now I have a whole new site design running off fast powerful servers all fuelled by a  new dedication to the future of Anglo-American.

This year I am aiming to expand from a personal blog to an online magazine with regular features, columns and even interviews with the people who are on the edge of the scene (both sides of the Atlantic) this however is more than one man can achieve so I will be looking for contributors of articles and artwork, as well as potential sponsors for posts over the coming months.

So I guess that’s all, thanks for visiting, apologies if the post that brought you here does not exist (they got lost in the transition), and please dont hesitate to contact me if you need anything.

Tie Obsessed

I thought that I would share a lovely store I found whilst passing through Etsy

I have to say that my Sailboat Tie arrived on Monday, and I love it, I’m sure that you will see it in future posts!

RUGBY – Covent Garden

I have to say that I am quite excited about this post; Whilst in London over the weekend I visited the lovely Covent Garden as I have a few favourite spots there including Cyber Candy & a large technology store.

Well, guess what I noticed was opening next door to that large tech store?

A RUGBY Ralph Lauren is coming to the UK!!!

RUGBY have been around in the US since 2004, and I have to say they really seem to have reinvented and reignited East Coast Preppy Styling, all about varsity colours and modern styles.

I have to say that I am definitely looking forward to visit this store on launch day which is expected to be in Fall 2011.

I’ll keep you posted on this one!

Thanks to Emily at Fashion Foie Gras for the Covent Garden image (mine came out awful)

Take 8 Ivy (Update)

The Take 8 Ivy post I did last month continues to be a very popular post, as such I though that it would be a great idea to give you guys an update on availability.

It turns out that Inventory Magazine has managed to get there hands on a few copies and are selling them for only $50 each.
