Winter Prep - My Favourites

Hello!

I hope you're all okay and haven't been blown away by this ghastly weather, we didn't really get much up in Lincolnshire, the '90mph winds' here were quite the opposite and had the force of a sneeze.  Anyway, I thought it was about time I did an outfit post, this is my first so thought I'd go all out and wear my current favourite things! Don''t forget, if you see something you like, click the link in the section and it'll take you straight to the item!

I'm an Insider!

Hello!

Before you panic, no it isn't Monday and yes this is blog post numero dos for this week! Its just a quick post because I wanted to let you all know about something pretty cool! A few weeks back I applied for #AccessAllASOS, now if you know me then you know I am a hashtag fan and I am also a big fan of ASOS. AAA allows ASOS obsessives such as I the opportunity to get that little bit closer to the company and have exclusive access to special invitations, previews and even the chance to visit ASOS HQ! I returned from work on Wednesday to find a parcel from ASOS, due to completely forgetting I had applied for AAA, I went into panic mode racking my brain to try and figure out what on earth I have been ordering! Below is a picture of the little box they sent to all of us accepted onto the scheme. 

Along with a handwritten note (thank you Jayne), I also received a pair of burgundy socks, a really nice skinny tie and a fortune cookie which sadly didn't have a very long life after I opened the box...we shall speak no more of that incident! ;)

If you didn't get accepted this time or didn't even know this wonderful thing existed then do not fear, you can apply to join us in 2014 just click here!

So, it's official I am an agent ASOS Insider! 

 See you next time!

Fashion Focus: Greg Fidler

Musicians not only have to create a style when it comes to their music but they also have to have an individual fashion sense that matches their genre. Greg Fidler is a talented musician from the UK and having had a top 40 hit, keeping his image and presence in the music industry is key for Greg.  Whilst preparing for the release of his debut single, he kindly helped with this blog post and we have together created a look-book for the kind of outfit he goes for and Greg has also answered a few fashion questions.  This post focuses solely on items available from boohoo Men's.

Keep it clean!

As we all know (hopefully) the modern man looks after his image. Your face is a big part of your image so keeping it fresh and squeaky clean is a must!  I've trialled 3 skincare products over the past few days, to clarify these are products that I bought completely with my own pennies from Boots (currently on 3 for 2). No donations or sneaky bribes have occurred here, these are 100% my opinions.

Product 1 is from the men's Botanics collection from Boots and it is the Men's Eye Roll-On (£6.99 - Boots). The mornings are getting darker and waking up is becoming a mission, I wanted something that would refresh my eyes and cool them, ultimately making opening them in the mornings an easier task. The product contains ginseng which naturally revitalises the skin, it operated with a metal ball in the top that rolls the product onto the skin, something which unfortunately let the product down when I first used it. The product was coating the ball and sticking onto the ball rather than being distributed onto the skin, however, after cleaning it off and starting again it worked. The product is applied morning and night and seems to be working well as far as I can tell.

Wrist Fashion - Its Timeless!

I have to admit I am a huge watch fan, my watch is one of the things that I cant leave the house without in the morning.  My wrist feels somewhat naked when I decide not to wear a watch.  Here are my 2013 top-notch-watch choices.  I think watches make a great present idea, and they dont even need to be expensive, I'll show you my favourite low, mid and high range options that you can take into account when buying a watch. Click the name of a watch to be taken to the best priced website that I have found for you.

Casio Collecion

London, Paris...Peterborough?

On Saturday I attended the Autumn Fashion Fix, a showcase fashion show held in the Queensgate Centre, Peterborough. Not only is this a great way for retailers in the shopping centre to showcase their fashions but its also great for us fashion conscious folk to ensure we stay au fait with the latest trends. I've chosen my favourite looks from the show and compiled them to give you the ‘411’ on what you should be wearing this autumn.
