New In The Wardrobe: Kenzo Leopard Jeans

Thursday, 3rd January, 2019

New In My Wardrobe - Kenzo Jeans

I’ve got the first of the items I’ve bought over Christmas, and they’re my jeans which are by Kenzo. I love denim, and usually buy at least one pair, although this year I’ve gone for a few, this being the first to arrive from my online shopping.

When it comes to denim, my go to brand is usually Nudie Jeans, and I’ve also got a good pair of Levi’s in recent times too. Over the years, I’ve bought a lot of designer brand denim, from Acne Studios to Balenciaga, Dolce and Gabbana and Dior to name a few, but recently stopped going for the designer brands over the proper denim brands.

Last Weekend Before Christmas

Saturday, 22nd December, 2018

Jaeger Knit, Denim, White Shirt - Outfit

Hey guys!

I hope you are well, are you prepared for Christmas? We’ve reached the last weekend before Christmas, I can’t believe how fast this year has gone. It seems like just yesterday it was the Summer, I was in Rome, and then of course it was the World Cup, and that unbelievably hot summer we had in England.

There’s only a few days left until Christmas, and not long for the end of the year either. I think I have everything sorted, presents wrapped, and everything seems to be done for the big day ready for when the big man comes down the chimney πŸ˜‰

Fenwick Christmas Window Newcastle 2018 – The Snowman

Sunday, 16th December, 2018

Fenwick Window 2018 - The Snowman

It’a another Christmas time tradition in Newcastle, the dressing of Fenwick Window in a Christmassy theme, and I’ve finally got it up here for you to see! This year it is the classic animated film that we all know and love and saw when we were kids, it’s The Snowman.

All the iconic scenes are here at Fenwick, and the windows look really good as they always do. From the Snowman riding the motorbike to dancing, flying and of course that party, everything is depicted with a different scene in each window. Some are static, with some having the added magic of being electronic, with the window coming to life.

If you haven’t managed to get down or don’t like in Newcastle, you can see the pictures below. There’s also links to the previous year’s windows.

Newcastle Christmas Market 2018

Newcastle Christmas Markets

I finally made it down to the Newcastle Christmas Markets this year!

I was there on Thursday checking them out, and took my camera to get some good photos of what we have in Newcastle. I had a quick look a few weeks ago on a night which makes much better photos, but I didn’t have my camera at the time, only my phone. It was so cold, but so sunny, the enemy of the photographer πŸ˜€

Trust that the day I go there’s the sun blazing down on me…Better than the rain I guess. You can also get some interesting effects with the sun which can look cool.

Anyway if you’re familiar with Newcastle or if you’re not, the Christmas Markets are around the main section of the middle of the city, which is around Grey’s Monument, Grainger Street and Grey Street, which is close to Northumberland Street, the main shopping street.

Happy Christmas Jumper Day 2018

Happy Christmas Jumper Day!

Today marks the day where you can wear something festive! If you’ve check out my post on Christmas Jumpers there’s a few good ones you can get this year, and since I’ve already got so many, didn’t have to buy a new one for this year.

This year I have gone for my Santa Claws jumper which is mostly grey and red, and comes with the novelty knitted kitten with a Christmas hat. It is from a brand called Tipsy Elves, and I got this a couple of years ago.

Now is the time to get all festive and wear Xmas jumpers! We’ve got 10 days until Christmas Eve, so I’ll be wearing my festive knits on most days, in-keeping with the Christmas spirit.

Have a happy Friday! πŸ™‚

New In My Wardrobe: Grey Roll Neck Jumper From H&M

H&M Grey Roll Neck Jumper

I’ve gone and got myself yet another roll neck!

It’s so weird that only a couple of years ago I actually disliked this style of jumper, and just last Winter bought my first one. Now I’ve got at least 5 of them, in a range of different colours. The ones I’ve got are from ASOS and Uniqlo, and when I saw this one from H&M which was on offer, I had to have it.

Hey Arnold Style - Green Jumper And Red Check Shirt

Hello and happy Monday!

How was the weekend, good?

I got this green jumper ages ago, and I don’t wear it all too often. It’s been so cold lately and I’ve been wearing a lot of knits, jumpers and sweatshirts, so decided to give this a wear. Usually I layer jumpers with t-shirts for a more casual look, but I decided that I’d try pairing it with a shirt. Then I realised if I paired it with my red check shirt, it would look like Hey Arnold style! πŸ˜€
