Summer Sale!
June 28, 2010
It is now late June and just so happens to be my favourite time of the year – it’s Sale time! There are some brilliant sales on right now with offers of up to 50% off as all the big brands try to get rid of the Spring/Summer collection and bring in the new Autumn/Winter range. I’ve already spent a fair bit of money on the Reiss sale. I’ve had my eye on this casual jacket for a while but it has always been outside of my price range. However, I bought it for £79, down from £159, now that’s a saving!
Katy Perry Style!
June 18, 2010
Since Katy Perry burst onto the scene in 2008 with the controversial song ‘I kissed a girl’, she has sold hundreds of thousands records as well as reaching the front of top fashion magazines. Thus, media attention has incessantly followed her wherever she goes. However, every picture I see her in she just looks great. She has such an original, unique fashion sense that has attracted the attention of the top fashion labels. Her style is one of quirkiness but does quite reach the level of eccentricity of other famous names such as Lady Gaga. Here she sports a few outfits that are reminiscent of 40s styling, a look she suits well.

Handcrafted Couture

I wish I could afford this Sweater. The attention to detail is unbelievably which perhaps explains the hefty price tag. Elvis Jesus design some of the most impressive items of clothing around right now.
Get the Lumberjack Look!
June 4, 2010
One look that will stay around for a while is the lumberjack look. These are casual shirts that are checked (tartanesque) and provides the image that you cut down trees for a living. I do like the look, it is just so common though. Absolutely everyone has one of these checked casual shirts. I am even wearing one of these shirts as I am writing this. I would wear these shirts more often it they were a bit more original. However, some of my favourites come courtesy of Bench who have a cool range of casual shirts.
Mark Ronson Couture!
June 3, 2010
Mark Ronson has to be one of the best dressed men out there right now, providing inspiration for all men. He is constantly being snapped in fresh, original outfits. He does’nt so much as follow trends but sets them. Therefore, it comes as no surprise to find out that Gucci have asked Mark Ronson to design a limited edition range of trainers that will be sold exclusively in a new store, Gucci Icon-Temporary that recently opened up in London. Again, no surprise that these shoes are styled with Ronson’s iconic look – one being polka-dot and the other grey flannel. Both look great!
Vuitton Sign Maradona, Pele And Zidane
June 2, 2010
As we approach the start of the Football World Cup, I have found another designer that has jumped on the Football bandwagon. Louis Vuitton have acquired the servives of three of the greatest players to have ever kicked a ball – Diego Maradona, Pele and Zinedine Zidane. Now that would make for great viewing. Here we capture them playing a bit of table football for LV’s Core Value ad campaign in what has to be one of my favourite pictures of the year so far. This poignant picture captures the three legends transfixed in the sheer joy of the game. I know I would quite like a Louis Vuitton suitcase, however having one with the initials Z.Z (observe bottom right) would certainly make my day.
Sarah Jessica Parker Style!
May 28, 2010
Unless you have been living in a cave, you will aware that the new Sex And the City movie had it’s World premiere this week in New York followed by the premiere in London. The mass public were excited to try and get a glimpse of the stars of what may be one of the biggest films of the year. And it’s no surprise that all attention had turned to what the leading stars have been wearing to these premieres. Under most pressure from public scrutiny was Sarah Jessica Parker, who over the years has generated this image of being a style icon. At the London premiere to Sex And The City she did not disappoint. I love this dress, outdoing her co stars with relative ease. The dress is so classy and elegant and she just sparkles in it.
Sarah Jessica Parker turned up to the London Premiere with a billowing Alexander McQueen black strapless dress with a towering hat and black lace court shoes. She also wore a black armband with what people believe to be a tribute to the late Alexander McQueen. The outrageous hat sparked memories of the fabulous hat she wore at the premiere of the first Sex And The City Film in 2008.
This Summer’s Perfect Outfit
May 26, 2010
As it is approaching summer I have decided to post my ideal outfit for this season. After looking through various brands, I decided to go with Reiss as their new SS10 collection is pretty cool. I think this outfit not only looks great but also looks really comfortable. Sometimes comfort is sacrificed for style but not this time. I’ve gone for a casual look but there still remains a level of sophistication that i like. I don’t usually wear hats but I think once again hats will be huge this summer and I’m really digging this one. The casual jacket will be ideal for protection against the chill of the summer nights.
Men’s Polo Shirts From Gant
May 25, 2010
As we approach Summer and the temperatures increase I feel that I have nowhere near enough Polo Shirts – my preference for this weather. As I was scouring the internet looking to refresh my wardrobe, I came across the Gant online store – one of my favourite brands. The Gant premium lifestyle brand combines American casualness with European elegance that launched all the way back in 1949. So they must know a thing or two. Their range of Men’s Polo Shirts is really exciting, consisting of vibrant colours that are perfect for the Summer. No one wants to wear blacks and greys at this time of year, so here are a couple of Gant polo shirts for men to brighten up your day.
