Day 4 of Blogmas – Favourite Christmas Songs

by 2 Comments

It wouldn’t be Christmas without the cheesy and upbeat music that year after year is dug out for the festive season. The same old songs that have been around for donkeys years, but there are a few new songs that are hitting the Christmas tunes list that I most certainly approve of here are my most favourite Christmas songs that I adore to listen to…

Sia – Candy Cane Lane 

Sia has only just recently released her Christmas album and it’s had so many plays on my Itunes. It’s a 10 original song album and Candy Cane Lane has to be my favourite by far!

Kelly Clarkson – Underneath The Tree

This song just puts you in the Christmas spirit. It’s one of those songs that you just can’t help dance too. It’s a very festive and uplifting song which will always remain one of my favourites.

Pentatonix – Hallelujah 

Pentatonix have been one of my favourites for a while now. But when they released Christmas songs I fell in-love with them even more. This rendition of Hallelujah has to be my personal favourite of their Christmas songs. I’m also loving that Marks and Spencer’s also have them on their Christmas play list.

Michael Buble And Shania Twain – White Christmas

I’m going to put my hands up here and say that I’ve never been a Michael Buble kind of fan. However, when I first this rendition of White Christmas which pays homage to the original rendition as well as adding a country style twist to it. I instantly fell in-love. I adore Shania Twain so it’s just perfect to me.

Marina And The Diamonds – Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas 

If you know me then you know my love for Marina is massive. Then she dropped a one time Christmas song and my love for her grew even more. Her voice is just a fresh of breath air. I want her to bring out more Christmas songs. She has such a soft tone to her voice and it’s so soothing.

Gwen Stefani – Christmas Eve 

Like Sia, Gwen Stefani has also made a Christmas album. Gwen Stefani’s is a mixture of old songs and some original songs too. Just like this song. It’s my favourite song off the album. A proper hearty Christmas song. Makes me feel so festive and warm.

 

Celine Dion – So This Is Christmas:

I’m a big fan of Celine Dion. I mean are you even gay if you’re not? Her voice I could just listen to over and over again. She puts in so much emotion to every song and this Christmas song isn’t lacking that! It’s on of those songs if you’re home alone and brave enough to try and do the notes that Celine does. I must say I’m guilty of doing this.

 

Ariana Grande – Last Christmas:

I love that Ariana took a classic song and put her own spin on it. She’s can’t do nothing wrong and this is why I love this song. It makes me feel super festive and I sing to it every time it comes on.

 

Summer Runaway

So I’ve not done an OOTD showcase for some time and today was the first time I was inspired to go and do a video that was just that. It made me realise how much I missed doing them and how much I need to push myself to get back into them. This outfit is pretty much all my holiday clothes that I shouldn’t be wearing. But I felt I wanted to showcase the outfit and make fashion.

The top is a love of mine. I have so many of these tops, especially in a stripe. I’m addicted to anything with a stripe so much so I have to buy it there and then if I see anything. The top is from Primark and was only about £4.50

The shorts are a new love of mine. High waisted, a-line men’s shorts which shocked me as I thought they were women’s when I purchased them. I’ve always wanted these kind of shorts as I just love the shape of them. I purchased these from River Island sale for £8.

The Sandals are a stunning addition to my wardrobe. I have a very similar pair in black but they’re so flat to the floor where as these are not. I needed something with a little wedge on for walking around Venice when we go in 50 days! I purchased the sandals from Topman sale for £20

Here is the video for Summer Runaway:

 

The Wide Leg Jean – Collaboration with ASOS

by Leave a Comment

tumblr_o244zmrsPw1qhvpcso1_540So as you might of read I was picked to style “The Wide Leg Jean” from ASOS. My golly did it prove hard. My floor has never seen so many clothes thrown onto it. After hours of trying to find the perfect outfit, I finally came across the perfect outfit. Throw on a striped ASOS roll neck and leather jacket and it instantly spoke to me. Teaming it up with my new converse like pumps and it was the perfect outfit. A laid back and casual outfit. Here’s a little video regarding the outfit…

Turtle Neck Take down.

by Leave a Comment

With the amount of roll necks I own I thought it was fitting to do a video on How I style turtle necks/roll necks whatever you want to call them. I have a good 11/12 and I love every single one. I just love how sophisticated they make an outfit and that they are so easy to layer over. I have one in nearly every colour. I’m on the look out for a green one as this is pretty much the only colour I don’t own. In my video I’ve done 5 outfits that are casual and 2 that are more formal looking. Click the image below to see a bigger picture of the outfits.

My favourite outfit has to be number 4 and number 5. I adore my tartan kimono along with my black Topman ribbed roll neck teamed up with my big wide brim fedora hat. Outfit number 5 has to be my go to outfit. It’s so easy to wear and just so me. My rust coloured roll neck ties this whole look together.

Which is your favourite?

New collection ASOS.

by Leave a Comment

So a couple of days ago ASOS released this video on YouTube showcasing their Autumn and Winter 2015 for guys and girls. I have to say, there are some amazing pieces in this collection and some I most certainly will be buying! Here is the video below…

So some of my favourites from this video have to be:Untitled-1

I’ve always had a thing for a grid print and this just takes me over the edge. I really love the print and the style of the jumper is perfect for layering up in Autumn and Winter. The fact it is a black grid on white gives it that different twist to the normal white grid on black.

Untitled-2

The jacket on the far right speaks to me like no other. I used to have a jacket like this from River Island but I got rid of it because I just didn’t like the colour. But this one from ASOS looks a perfect colour. I love the gold detailing on the cuffs and neckline as well as the gold buttons all the way through. A very smart-looking jacket that I most certainly will be buying!

Untitled-3

I’ve always love a fur coat. But nowhere has really catered for men that love fur coats. Well ASOS most certainly have this year. I love a faux fur coat. I don’t know why but it always looks expensive and it most certainly looks as if it would keep you warm which is something I really need in Autumn and Winter. This is by far my favourite coat that I really want!

Untitled-4

Now the outfit on the left appeals to me so much. Right down to the trainers which normally doesn’t appeal to me. I love the juxtaposition of the formal element of the outfit with the overcoat and wide leg trousers mixed with the casual trainer. I just really love it. Plus that the coat is an overcoat just appeals to me even more. I most certainly would love to buy this whole outfit!

A bit of everything haul

So people have been asking me to do a haul video for a while so I thought all of June I shall put aside all the things I’ve purchased and do a big haul video. I’ve finally got around to doing it… Enjoy…..

Favourite Outfits – Tropical Chancer.

by 10 Comments

So from my previous post “Summer Wish list” you know I wanted to start buying brighter clothing as the summer months are upon us. I wanted a very tropical look. Taking a spontaneous trip in to H&M I walked past the womenswear section to get to the mens and I happened to see these trousers and they caught my eye. I wanted a pair very similar to them, which are on my wish list. However, the pair on my wish list are a jersey material and the pair that I’m wearing in my photos are more of a proper trouser material. I love the fit and I love the pattern on them with the different greens blending together. They’re a women’s size 8 but I think I could have got away with a 6 around the waist but not around the crotch area! Nonetheless they’re an amazing fit and I love them so much. I can’t seem to find them on the H&M website so keep an eye out in store, at £14.99 they’re a bargain! I’ve always wanted palm print trousers from when I first started getting into fashion and saw that Topman did them one year but I didn’t think I would pull them off. But H&M have proved me wrong! I teamed the trousers up with a simple white jumper I purchased on eBay for £5.99 along with my beige brogues I purchased from River Island a long time ago! I really enjoyed doing this photo shoot, I wanted to get creative and do something different to showcase the outfit and I’m very happy with the outcome.

Favourite Outfits

by 4 Comments

DSC_0340So due to my week off work I actually had a social life today and went for a coffee with one of my lovely friends. I do enjoy a good Starbucks!

It’s really cold at the moment due to a thing called winter, which I actually hate. So because of the cold I wanted an outfit that was practical yet looked good. So I thought I could wear my Zara Aviator jacket as I’ve not really worn it since purchasing it. The Zara jacket is fur-lined which definitely keeps your warm. With it being proper leather and really thick it will take a while to loosen up, but over time wearing it will do that.  Underneath I wore my new white roll neck that I purchased from eBay that came in the post finally yesterday. The roll neck is a lovely material, it’s really thick for a roll neck it’s almost like cashmere which really keeps me warm. No outfit is complete without my signature key piece and that is a pair of skinny jeans. Now I find it so hard to get a good pair of skinny jeans as my waist and legs are so tiny. Having a 26 inch waist is such a pain, but fear not. River Island Danny skinny jeans now go down to a size 24, giving boys like me with a tiny waist a chance to get a pair of skinny jeans to fit properly. My only downfall on the jeans are they’re not as skinny around the ankles as I’d want them to be. I have had a pair of super spray on skinny jeans from Topman before and they were super tight from top to bottom. However the waist didn’t fit very being a 28 inch waist pair of skinny jeans. But they are a thick material unlike the ones from Topman which I love because my legs do get cold very easily. To top the whole outfit off I wore my new monk strap shoes shown previously before in my “Perfect Purchases” they’re super comfortable and actually make me a bit taller which is something I always need only being 5ft 7 and half. They’re a shoe that goes with anything which is something I always look for. DSC_0394
