The Business Of Jackets

A jacket is SO important, not only does it keep you warm but it stops and outfit looking plain and boring. We're back with the eBay Collections segment here and this time it is all about smart, casual or (heck lets mash them together) smart-casual jackets.

Team one of these jackets with your outfit to create a multitude of different looks, with a shirt and smart trousers add a blazer for a daytime business look - or with a plain tee and black skinny jeans, add a denim jacket for that man-about-town look. 

As usual click on the image below to check out and shop the collection, you can go back and check out the previous collections and style yourself up one heck of a killer outfit! You can tweet me the images of what you've bought using #SamsCollection!

Shoes Glorious Shoes

If you live under some kind of rock or small bridge etc then you'll have missed the launch of the eBay Collections which is a crying shame. The world famous selling site has launched profile in which you can create a collection of products from around the virtual marketplace.  From fashion to electrical and all those eclectic bits in between you can create a collection from just about anything! This will be used to create a daily segment where I bring you the best finds on eBay to help you create that oh so dapper outfit, focusing on a different item of clothing each day.

So with this in mind I set about navigating my way through the 'Fashion Gallery' section which see's huge brands like Very, Office and Schuh selling and crazy discounted prices in their eBay shop. I was looking for the best 5 shoes that were great prices and would look great with different kinds of outfits. They can be used to dress a look up for a cocktail party or to dress it down for those days when you don't care how you look (oh, please - we all have days like that!).  So, here's a pic of my top picks for today! You can shop the collection by clicking the image below!

Just a short post today - don't forget to check back tomorrow to check out the next collection, also don't forget to follow me on eBay for the latest updates to the collections! Give me a follow on Twitter @ImSamSquire and we can chat and stuff.

Me Gusta Degusta

Let's chat about food. If you for some reason cannot find me in my house there's a VERY strong chance my head will be in a cupboard or fridge snacking away. I am just waiting to be approached to do a series of Secret Eaters...

Basically I love (literally LOVE) food, so when I was contacted by the fabulous humans over at Degusta Box I played it cool and said I was interested (whilst chomping a cookie). The box came overnight which was pretty blumming impressive, my stomach and I were super appreciative of this! Oh, if you didn't know - Degusta is a huge big box of food that is sent to you monthly for £12.99pm, all of the tasty treats inside are a surprise each month. I believe, and don't quote me on this, that Degusta Box originally comes from Spain - Degusta meaning 'Tasting' in Spanish.  The boxes are sent out between the 25th and 20th of each month and I was really surprised at the amount and the quality of food you get in them. 

This Month's box included:

- Schwartz Paella Flavour Shot x2

- Schwartz Italian Pasta Flavour Shot x2

- MOMA! Porridge x2

- Tyrrells Sweet and Salty Popcorn

- Drink Me Chai Choc Chai Latte

- Drink Me Chai Tea Latte

- Shaken Udder Milkshakes x3

- Mexican Dave's Cheesy Nachos

- Organico Durum Wheat Fusili

- Organico Tomato and Basil Sauce

I've been quite good in the fact I didn't inhale all of the food as soon as I opened the box, however the plentiful bounty is somewhat dwindling...so far I've tried the MOMA! Plain Porridge, I don't know if it's just me but I found it a little too watery, I followed the instructions but it was a little sloshy, don't get me wrong though I still ate it all and it tasted great. Next up, with a little help from Mummy Squire the Tyrrells Popcorn lasted just a couple of days, I've never had sweet and salted mixed popcorn however it tasted amazing, they're such juxtaposing tastes but I loved it. I was already a fan of the Shaken Udder milkshakes, I first found them in Sainsbury's a year or so ago and was obsessed, however they seemed to disappear off of the shelves and out of my life. Boo. Finally I chomped my way through (Whilst writing this post) the bag of Nachos, I love the branding of the chips and they tasted amazing, perfectly crispy and a really strong flavour. Big fan. 

The recipe card supplied is a really cool idea, whilst I am far from Gordon Ramsay (in the cooking sense, the 'F word' I manage just fine!) I may actually give cooking the supplied recipes a go! Don't hold me to this, health and safety may step in...

So basically two big thumbs up to Degusta Box! I am a big fan and would definitely recommend you to all give it a go and let me know what tasty snacks you receive! To make it taste that little bit better for you the lovely folks over at Degusta have given me a discount code for all of my readers to claim, you get a very cool £3.00 discount when you register for Degusta simply use the code J33JD - how good is that?!
