There's been an explosion of beautiful blogs since we launched and we felt that it's time we open up our borders and work with some of our favourite ones - which is why we created this new guest blogger feature. Every Wednesday for this month will showcase one of our favourite blogs doing what they do best. They'll be some you know and some you don't, but each one is a personal favourite of ours.

First up is The Blue Hour. Created by Brian Ferry, The Blue Hour showcases beautiful photography of whatever takes his fancy. We especially like Ferry's ability to - and forgive the flowery prose - make the mundane beautiful.  To showcase his talents, we asked Brian to take a tour of some of our favourite stores in London.

The first half includes stops at Shop at Bluebird, B Store and Albam, which you can see after the leap.
