Broadway Cinema Nottingham; Paul Smith Auditoria

After numerous times visiting our favourite cinema, we have only recently came across the Paul Smith experience in Studio 4. The chocolate, multi-colour stripe fabric graces 35 'Love Seats' in which the room showcases new art house movies and independent films from all round the world.

The Broadway cinema is a popular attraction to keen movie goers and is now getting international recognition being nominated as only one of ten in the world to provide a "unique cinematic experience"

So good that it is  now being ranked alongside iconic global names such as La Pagode, Paris and Mann's Chinese Theatre.

To top it off, the food is great too!

men's swimwear summer '11 guide.

simple really not too tight, not too small, nor should you wear board shorts (unless you are a surfer). you should be wearing them, and not them wearing you - they should complement your assets rather than show all. Daniel Craig trunk short - NO, Edwardian holiday maker - NO, speedos - NO. instead opt for a short but not too short, nor tight, swim short from preferably a traditional brand. think ralph lauren, paul smith, sundek, vilebrequin etc. see mr porter.

for me, i will be looking no further than  paul smith (the last two images).
