Weather Control

With us now reaching the end of summer, it is now back to school life. Which is just like walking into a pile of stress :). The English weather likes to play its tricks of sunny, cold, sunny and then cold again. Ever step out in a bomber jacket and a jumper because outside looks cold and then an hour later it becomes as hot as an oven, then your just there boiling like kettle water :)  I have been there a BUNCH of times.

So an outfit which is suitable for multiple weather conditions is strongly recommended, I have a fit which can be used for this.

Here we have a smart with a tad bit of casual fit. With the Mac overcoat to give a stylish look, the cherry on the top of the outfit. As the Mac as a lightweights jacket it can be worn within hot conditions which is convenient. The Mac coat has its full shine when the sun is out.



A plain white shirt from burton is worn as the first layer. With brown buttons just as a little touch to go with the Mac coat.

This is followed by a lightweight longline jumper to give a little class to this  look and can be worn in warm conditions as it is a lightweight jumper.

Now we are down to the bottom half of the fit.

The biker jeans gives this fit a very stylish and trendy look in which making this a smart/causal outfit. 

The Fred Perry Barrel bag what a very excellent bag the colour as well is well fitted for a different range of fits and also gives this look a real elegant look aswell with a brand such as Fred Perry associated with it.


Here you get a closer look of the biker jeans as its a darkish grey colour it goes well with the watch and huaraches.

The huaraches is the main feature of this for that gives it a casual look, as a full on smart look would probably be finished off with a pair of Doc Martens or brogues. Also the huaraches are been worn for comfort, like comfort in these trainers are right up there with the best as me personally I don't wear socks whenever I wear trainers so the fact the comfort is right up there shows what a good pair of trainers the huaraches are. It is so annoying when you wear a pair of shoes and then 45 minutes into wearing them they start to hurt your feet -.-, yes Vans SK8-Hi I'm on about you.

As I always say no outfit is complete without a watch. The watch worn is from river island this always helps give the outfit a well sophisticated look and the colour of the watch matches the Biker joggers and the huaraches.

Is This The New Summer Colour ?

With us now deep into summer, well approaching the end of it. A question that's been asked is "What is the color for summer ?" It's too hot for black, also White gets stains fairly easily one little dab of ketchup can ruin an outfit :( oh boy I've been there people. 
I have the solution to the question "What is the colour for summer ?" and I will show this colour  and how to unleash it in a cool, summery outfit.






THAT COLOUR IS PINK!!! It goes well no matter what skin tone. For instance on me the colour pink helps bring out my skin tone, giving it a 'dashing' look. When worn with black it has a enhanced effect to your look. A gold Casio is a good accessory for this look as it also gives off an glow in the outfit.




Now to the bottom part of the out fit black skinny jeans would be nice with this outfit or ripped jeans. 


The shoes are the Vans SK8-Hi. These are a really nice pair of trainers that were on my wish list for a period of 6 months and when I got them oh boy I was not disappointed ;). The only downside to this trainer is it takes LONG to put on -.- At times it's a mission but besides that it's a really nice pair of trainers for me it's the only pair of vans I'd purchase it also comes in All white. I would recommend these trainers and potentially the all white pair 



Here is a closer look of the SK8-Hi. The trainer inside is fairly comfortable. Notice how the laces isn't tied to the top that is how I style all my trainers. Like the flash of the label of the trainer hahaha ;) Also note due to the annoying difficulty of putting the trainer on I would get the size up. I would highly reccomened giving this outfit a try, see if it's for you. Even adding your own unique twist to the look.

Black and white

This look is a very basic look but if done correctly has the chance to do wonders.


Let's get started,  the cap is a vintage Nike cap which you'll be very lucky to find. So I guess the price would be £20+ with the increasing trend of vintage wear. 

The top is a simple basic white shirt can find it at any store, a retail price won't be needed here ;) 

The Bomber jacket is from Zara, but it is from their previous collection. Personally I believe Zara collections has gone down in its recent years. I don't know if it's because they are going in a new direction but it's not for me the retail of this bomber jacket is 40£ when it was in stock. 

The bottoms were from H&M, a comfy black pair of joggers. Everyone has to have a pair of grey and black joggers it's a essential :D


The trainers are adidas superstars 2.0. A summer can't be a summer without any adidas superstars on show ! Many people don't know the difference between the two so I'll show you here.



Here are the 1.0 the ones people prefer more, as they have the gold printing and tongue label which gives it a "Shine Shine" look.




Here are the 2.0 the trainers that were in stores when the Superstars were in stock in the earlier 2000's. Many people prefer this pair simple as it's the original part a vintage look.





These are the 1.0, as you can see the gold at the tongue of the label.








Here is a photo of the 2.0 as you can see no gold printing 

A good source to get a pair of superstars are from M&M Direct. Their site has limited amount trainers for a good price 

The Look

Hat : Nike £20+
Jacket : Zara £40
Shirt : Plain white Tee
Bottom : H&M Joggers £7.99

I  hope that all of you enjoy what I put up but I also hope that you get inspired by my style.
