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!
Gio Goi T-shirts

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.
Gift Ideas
June 10, 2010
When it comes to birthdays for my mum and sisters, I can never think of what to get them. I spend hours scouring the internet thinking, “What on earth would they like?” However, I then came across the Abahna website. Abahna specialise in exotically scented bath and body products, scented candles and beautiful gift sets. I don’t have a clue what the name means but I like it. The site looks amazing as does the packaging which is most important of all. They have an eclectic range of bath salts, body lotion, bath foam and bath oils. Certainly one of these will be the perfect gift.
Bench Live!
June 8, 2010
One of my favourite clothing brands has just built a new micro site called Bench Live (www.bench-live.com). This new website has been launched to increase Bench’s brand awareness and help Bench promote their music heritage that they are heavily involved in. In recent years Bench has been associated with Festivals such as Manchester’s Parklife Festival, Creamfields and Liverpool Sound City. I’ve had a browse through the website and it looks great. Bench Live provides you with information about forthcoming festivals and music events. You can purchase tickets to these events through this site and the opportunity to take part in competitions in order to win free tickets. There are interviews with music stars such as Lisa Lashes, Paul Van Dyke and The Sunshine Underground. There are fashion tips to what to wear to these events with a link back to the Bench Shop website. Basically everything you need if you’re a clothes and music fan…which I am.
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.
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.
Bench Watches
May 17, 2010
One of my favourite brands Bench, normally renowned for their Jeans and T-shirts have got their own range of Bench Watches. I’m really into my watches and these just look like they do the trick. With so much competition around right now, these Bench Watches seem to stand out for me. I do love my accessories like neck chains, rings etc, but I never leave the house without a watch. With my birthday not too far away, perhaps a Bench Watch might just be the ticket.
Luxury Shirts!
May 12, 2010
I’ve always been quite a big fan of Duchamp London. Their products bring life and colour to the dull environment of the office. Some of their luxury shirts are just brilliant. Not only do they look good, but they are quality as well – just trust me with this. They are designed in house, hand cut from Italian fabric. Celebrities including Jonathon Ross and Stephen Fry have been seen sporting these shirts from Duchamp so they must be good. It is the colour and patterns that just grabs my attention every time. I’m too used to looking at dull blues and whites in the office. These striped shirts are so colourful; I would be surprised if you couldn’t see them in the dark. Really digging their website as well. Cool, dark background that is in stark contrast to the vibrant striped shirts and ties. The website provides real insight into each step of the tie and shirt making process. You know then that you are buying quality.
