At this time of year, when we’re all compiling Christmas lists, it’s hard not to slip into fantasy Christmas Present Dreaming territory. You know, when you’re Christmas shopping for a loved one but then somehow end up in a totally inappropriate shop, trying on a pair of shoes that you then end up dreaming will appear under your Christmas tree on December 25th. We’ve all been there! Item no. 1 on the Fantasy Christmas Present List has to be these Valentino Rockstud Kitten Heel pumps. Since Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli took the helm at the Italian atelier, Valentino’s accessories line has become even more exciting, which isn’t surprising considering the design duo previously worked in the accessories team at the label for 10 years. The Rockstud collection features handbags, shoes and watches all decorated with the distinctly sexy stud. This pair of black patent leather kitten heel pumps feature the trademark studs on pale rose straps, giving a simply elegant and intriguing finish. The triple buckle ankle closure carries the studs right up the ankle, whilst the pointed toe elongates the leg. Wouldn’t these look just lovely under the Christmas tree? We think so! Valentino Rockstud Kitten Heel Pumps, £575, available at mytheresa.

11 Easy Ways To Declutter Your Home

by on 13th December 2023 0 comments

Poor home disorganization can affect your quality of life. An untidy and disheveled space doesn’t only look unattractive – it can also make finding what you need difficult. Therefore, dedicate time to put things in order. Unless you are minimalist, there is a good chance that your home is more cluttered than you can imagine. Decluttering your space and life will help reduce stress, improve hygiene, and save money. Here are some effective tips to help you transform your space. 1. Get the most out of your kitchen storage space Efficiently utilizing your kitchen storage spaces is a great way to declutter your home. But how can you do this? It would be best if you considered adding things like spice racks to the back of your kitchen cupboards, rotating units, and extending the rails to maximize the space inside your presses. Install your bins in the press beneath the skin and leave daily equipment, including kettles and toasters, on the counter. To further organize the kitchen, you may want to say goodbye to old stuff you haven’t used in over a year: for example, donate excess dishes, spruce up your fridge, and discard those rarely used spices that have been hoarding spaces at the back of the shelf. 2. Optimize your wall storage Try to use your wall spaces as much as possible. Set up racks for your kitchen pots and pans, and attach hooks to walls in the hallway so that you can hang shoes and bags. Ensure you don’t store too many items on the walls, as it can create another clutter in your home.  3. Make your home office paperless Those who use dedicated workspaces at home may want to make their offices go paperless. Take time to look at documents and other printed materials floating […]

You might think that your fashion-conscious life grinds to a halt during winter. You can’t wear all the cute outfits you have or show off your new style because you will be bundled up until the clouds break in a few months. Or so you might think. There are still plenty of ways to look good and stay warm this winter. It’s all about knowing how to approach it.  It doesn’t matter if you’re spending evenings cozied up by the fireplace, visiting friends, or attending your work party. You can always find new ways to look as good as you feel as you embrace the festive season. From your everyday outfits to special occasions, here is a guide to staying warm and looking good this winter. Start At the Bottom  People rarely think about it, but comfort often starts at your feet, especially if you’re standing and walking around all day at work or after a day of shopping. Choosing the right winter boots or shoes is essential for helping you feel comfortable and warm over the holiday season.  The most important features to look for are style and slip-resistance so you look good and stay safe on icy streets. The same goes for insulated lining so your toes don’t freeze. The more insole padding and support, the less foot strain you’ll feel so you can stay energized.  Combine Classy With Comfort  You don’t need to abandon your favorite classy looks just because it’s cold. It’s possible to combine classy with comfort as long as you know how to achieve it. One way to do this is by looking at your sweaters and dresses and seeing which colors and styles complement each other. Here, you can wear your favorite dress and stay warm.  Another solution is using jewelry to class […]

How To Glow Up And Become Your Best Self

by on 1st November 2023 0 comments

We all want to be the best versions of ourselves. Whether it’s in our careers, relationships, health, or finances, we all have room for improvement. The process of striving to be your best self is often referred to as a “glow up.” A glow up is about making positive changes in your life to become the person you want to be. It’s about setting goals, making plans, and taking action to improve yourself mentally, emotionally, and physically. If you want to know how to glow up but don’t know where to start, ahead we cover everything you need to know to start your glow up journey. Follow these tips to create the life you’ve always imagined – one where you are healthy, confident, successful, and living your best life! Start Your Glow Up With self-care Before you start to improve other areas in your life, you’ll need to establish healthy self-care habits to strengthen your mind, body and spirit. Make your overall wellbeing a top priority in your daily routine: 1. Strive for 7-9 Hours of Sleep Per Night Sleep has an immense impact on happiness, focus and energy levels. Go to bed and wake up at consistent times to regulate your circadian rhythm. Power down screens an hour before bed and make your bedroom a dark, relaxing sanctuary ideal for rest. If you struggle with insomnia, try sipping chamomile tea before bed, taking a warm bath, reading fiction and practicing deep breathing exercises to lull yourself to sleep. 2. Adopt a Nutritious Diet What you eat directly affects how you feel and perform.

They Say You Can’t Afford Luxury on a Budget – But They’re Wrong!

by on 12th October 2023 0 comments

Luxury designer items. Just reading those words elicits feelings of aspiration and desire. There’s something special about owning an iconic Chanel handbag or Louboutin heels. But here’s the catch: those luxuries don’t come cheap. In fact, they often cost an arm and a leg. So how can an average person like you and me afford them? With the right strategies, you CAN afford luxury items without breaking the bank. Here we walk you through proven tactics to finally own your dream designer pieces. From clever sales tricks to earning extra money, we’ve left no stone unturned. Each tip can save you hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars. 1. Shop end-of-season sales When you read a lot of fashion magazines, it’s easy to feel like clothes from the past season can’t possibly be worn this year. But, in reality, nobody really cares. If you remember a jumper or coat from last season that you loved, don’t think you have to move straight onto the next thing. Instead, search for the pieces you were coveting 12 months ago. If they’ve been on your mind for a whole year you must really love them and, as the fashion industry is already obsessed with pieces from the most recent catwalks, their original prices will have been slashed. The Outnet is a great place to shop for pieces that are going out of season. It’s the outlet branch of the designer online store Net-a-Porter, which means quality is guaranteed, and it’s full of pieces from the best designers around. 2. Buy pre-loved You might buy books, DVDs, or even high street clothing second hand, but have you considered doing the same when you’re looking for high-end clothes and accessories? If you’re open to the idea, we would recommend shopping for pre-loved jewellery to begin with. […]

This is the amount of fragrance that is released into the air when the candle is lit. A good quality candle should have a strong scent throw so that you can enjoy the fragrance even when the candle is not lit. Smell the candle before you purchase it. The candle should have a pleasant scent that is not too overwhelming. Now that you know what to look for in a quality candle bundle, let’s discuss how to choose the perfect scent.

How To Pick The Perfect Homewares Hamper

by on 21st April 2022 0 comments

The pandemic lockdowns have changed the way we use our homes forever. Our homes are offices, schools, and places to socialize and gather more than ever. This has created a renewed interest in renovating and redecorating. In other words, our homes are a multi-purpose venue where we have business meetings, organize playdates, have family gatherings, as well as enjoy downtimes. Therefore, it’s a great idea to be well-equipped with different homewares to host all the different occasions. So, why not give it to friends and family as a gift item? Let’s discuss how to pick the perfect homeware hampers for home decor enthusiasts. Do Your Research Before deciding on what goes in the gift hampers, you need to do a little bit of research on the person you are getting the gift for. We live busy lives, and it isn’t always feasible to know what is going on with everyone’s lives these days.   So, before the gift-giving season arrives, check-in on the people on your list. Are they moving? Have they moved? How is their spousal or common-law situation? Are they sending a kid to university within the next few days? You just need to know the situation at their homes before you decide to gift them anything related to homewares hampers. How do you exactly do that? You have to be tactful, of course. You can check out their social media profiles to get some ideas. You can try texting them directly and catching up on how are things and how is everyone at home.   Of course, if they are close to you, you will know all the ins and outs of what is going on with their lives, and you will know what would be an appropriate homeware product to include in their hampers. Here are some life […]

5 Myths About Quality Clothing That Simply Aren’t True

by on 18th October 2021 Comments are Disabled

When it comes to buying fashionable pieces for your closet, there are two routes you can choose from. You can opt for trendy items that come and go, or you can pick quality pieces that will stand the test of time. For those who prefer the latter, it’s not uncommon for them to associate quality with a higher price tag, whether they’re shopping for that little black dress or something as simple as buying leggings. The more cash you drop on an article of clothing, the greater the expectation that it should last you a lifetime. Contrary to popular belief, though, quality does not necessarily have to mean spending hundreds of dollars on a single item. This may be difficult to believe in a world where shoppers are surrounded by fast fashion. But with the right mindset and strategy, it is possible to find well-made pieces at a bargain. With that said, it’s time to finally debunk some common myths when it comes to high-quality fashion. More Expensive Items Are Always of Higher Quality While the saying “you get what you pay for” does have some truth to it, that’s not to say that you’ll always have to splurge to find something that lasts more than a couple of wears. More often than not, luxury items are priced much higher than they’re actually worth to account for the costs of promoting them. The high price tag can also be due to the brand’s perceived value, rather than being based purely on material and labor costs. It is not true that if you pay more than you should have a really high-quality one, for example, you can pay a reasonable price for Korean Fashion clothes and accessories and have a really good quality clothes. It is also not true that a higher price tag […]

How Athleisure Has Taken The Fashion Industry By Storm

by on 17th November 2020 Comments are Disabled

Winter is creeping up on us fast. Soon we will blink and it will be Christmas. With most of us stuck inside, and the weather getting colder, there is nothing better than putting on a nice pair of ‘trackies’ to snuggle up on the couch. Of course, traditionally tracksuits, yoga pants, sports bras and the like are traditionally known for their use for exercising. Nowadays, more people are shopping for comfort and fit, and so are turning to athleisure for their daily clothes. With this trend has come a massive development in the styles and designs of athleisure wear, and even a design challenge on Project Runway dedicated to it! If its good enough for Heidi Klum and Karlie Kloss then its good enough for us. What is ‘athleisure wear’?  Athleisure is simply the combination of ‘athletic’ and ‘leisure’. In other words, it is fashionable athletic wear that can be worn day to day. Athleisure wear includes sweatpants, hoodies, gym tanks, tracksuits for women and men, sports bras, trainers, and much more.  It’s true that the demand for athleisure has soared in the age of COVID-19, with more and more people flocking to online stores to secure the latest and greatest in stylish, comfortable clothes. With nowhere to go but the kitchen, front room, bathroom or bedroom, what else would you wear except the likes of stretchy trousers and a cosy jumper? What makes it fashionable? Athleisure bridges the gap between functional active wear, and fashionable clothes made to fit well and be comfortable. And, lets be honest, who doesn’t want to be able to wear the trendiest and most comfortable clothes? As it is based on active wear, it is often wrinkle-free, stretchy, odour resistant, and more durable. And as more people turn to athleisure for their casual social […]

10 Reasons Why Autumn is the Best Season for Fashion

by on 19th October 2023 0 comments

The new Autumn season is well embraced by many due to the beauty that comes with it. Leaves are changing color, and shades from green to yellow to orange to red makes everything astonishingly beautiful. The sound of leaves crackling beneath your feet is so refreshing. Sweating issues go with the hot, humid summer air, and there is no more nostalgia from holiday envy. A season that’s filled with family gatherings, you want to have your best outfit adorned. Why Autumn is the Best Season for Fashion 1. Change of Fashion Each new season comes with a change of fashion, and unlike the cooler colors worn in the Summer, Autumn brings out life with the bright colors adorned during this time in sync with the changing shades of leaves as emphasized at https://www.thetrendspotter.net/fashion-trends-autumn-winter-2020-fashion-weeks/. Whether experimenting with shades of orange or red, these colors are acceptable during Autumn. You don’t have to stand out. 2. Glorious Mornings The fresh new air puts you in a fantastic mood, and you are more than ready to embrace life, and all it has to offer. The mornings are now chilly and crispy, and the refreshing breeze calls out to you for a walk in the neighborhood or a hike in the nearby hills or mountains. Spring baby animals are all grown up, and they make a beautiful sight. Taking a walk has been shown to improve your mood dramatically – yet another chance to show off those boots and scarves and jumpers. 3. Pumpkins Pumpkins are back in season, and I can’t say that without mentioning a favorite of many, the Pumpkin Spice Lattes, pumpkin pies, pumpkin soup, and anything else pumpkin, including carving. The smell of fresh pumpkin in the air is a welcome way to start the day, and a definite reason […]

Retail Therapy: Avoiding the common pitfalls

by on 15th December 2019 0 comments

Believe it or not, retail therapy has made its way into the dictionary. Once regarded as something of a tongue-in-cheek concept, it’s come to the point where some people absolutely swear by it. In short, for those who perhaps haven’t experienced it at least by this definition, it involves the practice of hitting the shops in a bid to make yourself feel better. There’s little else to it and based on the above; we’ve probably all done it. However, before you do venture out on your day out to the shops, it’s important to arm yourself with a few tips to help you along your way. Suffice to say, this is what the remainder of today’s guide is going to focus on. Don’t forget the therapy-factor OK, you’re looking to treat yourself, but hitting the shops at 100-miles-per-hour is asking for trouble. It’s great in the first couple of hours, but as time goes on, you are utterly exhausted. This is where combining the retail benefits with something like a spa break comes into play. If you don’t give your body any break, you’ll find that you’ll be completely burnt out for the next couple of days and back to square one. You need fueling We’re by no means suggesting that this is like some sort of world-class athletic event (although in some ways, it can feel this way). This next point focusses on how you should be fueling up on your mission. One of the biggest mistakes that a lot of us make is not eating or drinking enough as we power through the stores. Sure, there is shopping to be done, but again there can become a point where you are completely burnt out, and the whole experience becomes irritating. Make sure you organise enough pitstops for lunch […]

How Can You Get The Best Deals On Your New Wardrobe?

by on 15th February 2019 Comments are Disabled

We’ve all been there; you’ve just spotted your dream outfit only to find that it’s just out of your price range. Don’t worry as there are ways to overhaul your wardrobe without breaking the bank. Firstly, you should always shop around. Don’t be tempted to splash the cash instore or online without checking what is on offer elsewhere. This is where price comparison websites are invaluable! You can simply and easily check the best and cheapest products across many retailers, so you know that you’re getting the very best deal possible. What should you look for when comparing prices? One of the most common requirements when choosing where to buy the latest addition to your wardrobe is whether it can be delivered on time. If you have a party planned, no doubt you’ll want to show off your latest purchase so it’s vital that it arrives on time. In 2019, next day delivery is almost expected, to such an extent that it would come as a surprise if you were told that your latest purchase would take a week to arrive! Similarly, same-day delivery is becoming increasingly popular with more retailers offering this service and customers enjoying having almost instant access to their new buys. Again, price comparison websites can help to pinpoint the best retailer to purchase from, offering a great balance between value and rapid delivery. Maybe an extra couple of pounds might seem a very worthwhile investment if you simply must have that new outfit as soon as possible and it could arrive tomorrow. Price comparison website Money Pug emphasises that all shoppers should ensure that they complete research before finalising a purchase. Great deals are there to be had, you just need to search for them. Price comparison tools are increasingly popular as consumers search for […]

5 Ways To Save Money On Luxury Items

by on 24th March 2023 0 comments

We don’t all have a celebrity budget, which means a lot of luxury pieces might be out of your price range. Fortunately, there are some ways in which you can buy high-end clothing and accessories at a fraction of the original cost. Here, we’ll talk you through five of them. Read on to learn more. 1. Wait until luxury items are ‘so last season’ When you read a lot of fashion magazines, it’s easy to feel like clothes from the past season can’t possibly be worn this year. But, in reality, nobody really cares. If you remember a jumper or coat from last season that you loved, don’t think you have to move straight onto the next thing. Instead, search for the pieces you were coveting 12 months ago. If they’ve been on your mind for a whole year you must really love them and, as the fashion industry is already obsessed with pieces from the most recent catwalks, their original prices will have been slashed. The Outnet is a great place to shop for pieces that are going out of season. It’s the outlet branch of the designer online store Net-a-Porter, which means quality is guaranteed, and it’s full of pieces from the best designers around. 2. Buy pre-loved You might buy books, DVDs, or even high street clothing second hand, but have you considered doing the same when you’re looking for high-end clothes and accessories? If you’re open to the idea, we would recommend shopping for pre-loved jewellery to begin with. This is because the likes of rings, bracelets, and necklaces are much harder to damage than a dress or some shoes, so you’re more likely to buy something that’s in good condition. Est.1897 is a great place to shop online for second hand jewellery, as they offer […]

Victoria Beckham Strikes Again At Paris Couture Week #Obsessed

by on 25th January 2017 0 comments

Literally giving us life and so much more in this colour block ensemble, the 42 year old designer made a statement and a half yesterday at Paris Couture Week wearing pieces from her SS17 collection. Teaming a rich baby blue blouse with wide-leg tangerine trousers, Victoria reminded us why she stays and will always remain at the top of her fashion game. Her polished look was made complete with oversized sunglasses, a brown clutch and a shabby chic cream coat which we’re utterly obsessed with. With January being a month of austerity (after the carnage inflicted on our bank balance due to Christmas and sales shopping *sigh*), getting Victoria’s exact look is but a dream…however if you’re still on the hunt for bargain investment pieces, there’s still some pretty great items from Victoria’s collection on sale. We particularly love this silk and cotton turtleneck sweater and this striped wool-blend dress. [Image]

Aftershave Roundup: 5 Irresistible Offerings This Festive Season

by on 13th November 2016 0 comments

Christmas day is always the same. You wake up feeling hopeful about what your presents contain. You’ve been putting off buying that expensive aftershave for months because surely someone – your mum, sister or girlfriend, anyone – will have cottoned on to your hints and left it neatly wrapped under the tree. And yet, as you open Lynx gift set after Lynx gift set, disappointment inevitably follows. This year, instead of relying on someone else’s dodgy mind reading skills to get what you want, you’re bucking the trend by shopping for your own aftershave. And, since lots of online retailers regularly push offers on the top fragrances for men in the run-up to Xmas, you’ll still have plenty of your present budget left over for buying female family members their well-deserved Impulse gift sets. You get what you give, after all. Here’s our pick of the best offerings from your favourite brands this festive season. Hugo Boss Just Different One of the most popular Hugo Boss aftershaves at the moment is Just Different, which definitely lives up to its name. An unusual touch of mint adds a distinctive edge to the smooth freesia and cashmeran base tones. If you’re looking to shake-up your signature scent, this is a gentle way of making a more unique statement than you’re used to. Giorgio Armani Code Armani code is well on its way to becoming a modern classic of the aftershave world, with its masculine base of tobacco and leather freshened up by hints of lemon and olive blossom. What this delicate blend creates is a bold evening scent, as sophisticated and sleek as the chic black bottle it’s packaged in. Versace Eros for men Named after the Greek god of love, Eros is a strong and warm aftershave perfect for making a […]

The Best Winter Skincare Regimes

by on 22nd September 2021 1 comment

The days are drawing in and the temperature’s dropping, so as well as hats, scarves and Christmas presents, it’s time to start thinking about winter skincare. It’s no surprise that those bitingly cold but beautifully clear winter days can bring with them more than a rosy glow to the cheeks. For some people, winter weather can mean dry, cracking skin, as it’s forced to endure extreme temperature fluctuations caused by chilly late-night shopping trips followed by holing up at home with the heating turned to max. As soon as we turn the heat on indoors, the skin begins to dry out. Chapped lips and blotchy, flaky skin become a real problem, and common skin conditions such as eczema and rosacea can be exacerbated. So what can be done to protect the skin from the worst effects of winter? We recommend changing your skincare routine to suit the weather changes. We’ve put together some ideas on the best winter skincare regimes to help you embrace the festive season. Before we get started it’s important to note that when you decide to start a skincare routine at the beginning of a new season you may get overwhelmed by all the terms and beauty products that are out in the market. The best thing? Keep it simple. Here we highlight the essential products to add to your skincare routine this winter. Supplements and Foods As the nights get longer, we often reach for stodgy, comfort food that can have an inflammatory effect on the body. You won’t be surprised to hear that good skincare starts from the inside, so thinking about your diet can be the first step towards healthier winter skin. Instead of pies and pastries, sufferers of eczema and ‘winter itch’ should up their intake of essential fatty acids, found in […]

Ready. Set. Go. Our Crash Course to Surviving End Of Year Sales

by on 13th January 2020 0 comments

After shamelessly stuffing ourselves with turkey, mince pies, Christmas pudding (you name it) – there’s no better form of cardio than hitting the high streets for bargains. We know sale shopping can be a nightmare. Endless queues and hectic crowds can break the best of us, but we think we have it down to an art form – so much, we actually (gasp) enjoy it. To make sale shopping less “Game of Thrones” and more “Modern Family”, we’ve put together a list of important to-do’s to make sure you have a light-hearted, fun and enjoyable time rather than a nail-biting, stressful and heart-attack-inducing experience this sale season. 1. Make a list The end of year sales are undoubtedly the best time to buy all the items you’ve been lusting after but couldn’t afford. Avoid being tempted by just a good deal, opting instead for items you will wear time and time again. Make a list of must-haves, ideally pieces that transcend seasons such as that perfectly fitting t-shirt in a gorgeous jersey which can be layered under a neutral jumper or perfectly cut blazer. Holiday items are also good choices, such as pricey items like swimsuits. We also recommend budgeting for any impulse buys. You never know, the investment bag you’ve been eyeing may be discounted and calling your name. 2. Buy as much as you can online What did we ever do before online shopping? It’s hassle-free, you can shop while in the comfort of your home, snuggled underneath the duvet whilst drinking a nice, warm cup of tea. Most importantly it frees you up to spend more time on the high-street searching for other essential buys on your wish-list, or try on items with uncertain fits. Delivery is usually free around this time of year, so no need […]

Bracelets: 4 Style Choices to Help You Build Your Jewelry Wardrobe

by on 19th October 2023 0 comments

If you want to buy the best bracelets to express your personality, but you do not want to make a fashion error – there is no need to panic. You can add style to your wrists without overpowering your basic outfit options. Most fashion lovers know that their basic jewelry choices can be divided into four categories: modern, ethnic, antique and classic. A basic wardrobe should not only include items from each category, but also have diamond, tennis, pearl bracelets for everyday wear. When shopping for new jewelry use this simple guide to help choose the right pieces to help you create a cohesive and complementary wardrobe of baubles and bracelets. Classic Bracelets Some classic pieces of jewelry are a fashion must in every woman’s wardrobe – from a string of pearls to stud earrings. Classic bracelet options include round bracelets made of wood, metal, plastic, and strands of glass or plastic and gemstone beads. Cuff bracelets are another stylishly, classic jewelry investment. Gold-toned cuffs can dress up a sweater or a dress faster than any other piece of jewelry. If you gravitate towards small, classic accent pieces, pair three or four silver bangles with a crisp long-sleeved white shirt and a pair of dark-colored jeans and pumps for a casual lunch with friends. Modern Bracelets Modern jewelry options – a bracelet made of large gold beads, a bold yellow Lucite bangle or a crystal-encrusted cuff bracelet – makes a strong style statement. You can wear them also wear a healing crystal earring set, crystal bracelets, or other jewelry pieces for a bold look. In fact, a modern, statement bracelet should be the focal point of any outfit. Wear modern bracelets if you have a flair for the dramatic and like to use your accessories as conversation pieces. If you […]

Rupert Sanderson and Antonio Berardi’s exclusive collaboration

by on 6th December 2013 0 comments

Another epic collaboration to get excited about before the end of the year, as the two very talented designers Antonio Berardi and Rupert Sanderson are joining forces for an exclusive collection with Net-a-Porter. Don’t thank them though – thank Gwyneth Paltrow, as it was apparently all her idea! You may recall that Antonio Berardi’s models were kitted out in Rupert Sanderson shoes for his spring/summer 2014 show, but their initial pairing was thanks to Gwyneth Paltrow who wore the designers’ pieces together. The Rupert Sanderson for Antonio Berardi shoes all feature  transparent elements so, although they look like a sandal, actually fit like a court and provide the wearer (that’s us, hopefully!) with ultimate comfort as well as style. “There is a true glamour to Antonio’s work,” Rupert Sanderson said. “The idea was to create a small evening shoe collection of super chic, sexy and iconic pieces that will stand the test of time to compliment my collection,” Antonio Berardi continued. “Something completely different and exciting.” We definitely think different and exciting  are words to accurately describe the upcoming collaboration, especially if the sneak peeks we see above is anything to go by. The Rupert Sanderson for Antonio Berardi collection is on sale from next week in case you have a spare £795 left over from Christmas present shopping. [Telegraph]

Treat him to… a Lyle and Scott Button Through cardigan

by on 11th November 2013 0 comments

If the man in your life is anything like the men in our lives (i.e. a typical man) he won’t admit to feeling the chill. He will happily hand over his jacket or coat when there’s a nip in the air and put on a brave face in fear of losing ‘man points’, but it doesn’t have to be that way! Why don’t you treat your man to a comfy cosy knit this month? We would ordinarily tell you to save it, wrap it up and put it under the tree ready for him to open on Christmas Day, but the wind isn’t waiting for December 25th to make an appearance, so the sooner you get your man wrapped up, the better! After all, you don’t want him to catch a cold in the run up to Christmas, do you? You need him well enough to accompany you to all those fab Christmas parties… and you also don’t want him to miss any crucial shopping days either! We digress. We’re particularly keen on this Lyle and Scott Button Through cardigan; it comes with a golden eagle logo on the chest – very important for keeping up appearances and showcasing his style credentials; or yours – as well as a Y-neck collar, ribbed hem and cuffs, and full button fastening. Although you should tell him that it’s perfectly acceptable to wear it without fastening any of the buttons either. Versatility is key here – another reason why we’re championing the grey colour. And while your man has your attention, make sure you give him some expert styling tips too. You might as well have the styling lecture all in one go! Style Tip: Advise him to pair his brand spanking new cardigan that you so lovingly and selflessly bought him with […]
