For this street style type post I decided to wear one of my favourite suede jackets. It’s from JOFAMA a Swedish brand which does a lot of good work with leather jackets, and I picked this up a while back. If you read my blog a lot, you’ll have seen it before, I wear it a lot in Autumn and Spring when I can (when it doesn’t rain!) and as you’ll know from reading my suede jackets for Autumn guide, I really do love this type of leather. I love the detailing on this, especially the shoulders, biker style collar with button, and the zip details on the sleeves.
If you are an outdoors kind of person and like activities such as hiking, camping and biking, then American lifestyle brand Merrell will be a familiar name to you. For Autumn/Winter 2016 they’ve released their Heritage collection, perfect for the colder weather and season ahead.
The brand new Heritage range maintains the traditional Merrell craftsmanship which has been synonymous with the brand for over 30 years, and takes on a more hipster stylish approach, with each piece of footwear having it’s own individual styling and personality. I grabbed a pair of my favourite from the collection, which are called Solo.
I hope you’ve had a good weekend and enjoyed an extra hour when the clocks went back last night/this morning.
So last night we went out and started at Low Fell for some reason, which is in Gateshead quite out of the way really. I thought it would have been pretty poor, but it was actually pretty good, and it made a change starting the night there. We went to places like The Canon, The Bank and The Beaconsfield. After that we went back to the homeland of Newcastle and went to the Quayside, then ended up in Filthy’s.
Bulgari MAN, or Bvlgari MAN as it’s stylised, has been one of my favourite fragrances since I first got it. It was launched in 2010, and I probably got it around that time, and since then, I fell in love with it.
People who like scents like me will tell you it’s not just about the smell, it’s the memories they creates. Since this is one of my favourite scents of all time, I’ve used it so many times and had so many great times while I was wearing it, usually on nights out.
For my daily style today I am wearing one of my favourite jumpers, it’s a mint green cashmere knit, and it’s from H&M.
It’s made from pure 100% cashmere, not a blend, and came from a premium line H&M did a while back.
Even though I have had this a while it’s still one of my favourite jumpers because of the colour; I love it!
This is an oversized style which isn’t actually my favourite, I prefer a more slim fit of style, but for jumpers it’s completely acceptable, especially when it gets colder and colder.
It makes it really nice to wear as a casual piece when lounging around, or out and about as a smarter piece.
I paired it with my Mango MAN light grey chinos; I wrote in my how to style white jeans that light and white jeans can actually be worn in any season and not just Summer, and I think they work well with the mint green knit for a brighter Autumn outfit.
Obviously it’s better to check the weather and make sure it’s not going to rain 😉
To finish this off I wore it with a classic white shirt underneath which you can just see peaking out, which keeps everything looking light, and my Kurt Geiger Suede Derby shoeswhich I got earlier this year and have became one of my favourite pieces of footwear.

If you know me then you’ll know of my love affair which I had with my Converse trainers, the Chuck Taylor All Star lo are my preference, and as you can see, I have a few in my Converse collection.
It’s never been a brand I have associated much with other clothing, but I’ve seen their latest collection, an essentials edit for Autumn 2016, and I have to say, it’s worth looking at. If you’ve read my jumper guide for Autumn but you prefer cotton over wool, these sweats worth checking out for this season.
Last time out in Fragrances Revisited I was talking about Dolce And Gabbana, The One, and so I thought the next move should be to write about it’s little brother, Dolce And Gabbana: The One Gentleman.
The One Gentleman was released 2 years after the original, and people sometimes get confused between the two because of the similarity of the name. Once you’ve smelled them both, you’ll know that is the only thing in common, as they’re completely different styles of scent; Different, but equally as nice.
Born in 2011 in Bologna, Italy, 1980 voguish is an independent Italian menswear brand which has a focus on creating sportswear clothing with casual style. At the heart of the clothing there’s heavy influences from the street scene from the 1980’s, with key pieces which were synonymous with the era including polo shirts, sweatshirts and light sports jackets.
One of the most coveted hooded tops this season has got to be the Adidas ZNE Hoodie from the brand new athletics collection from Adidas. I saw this back in September and loved it, and it was released several weeks ago and has already proved to be extremely popular. I managed to grab myself one, and I have to say I think it’s really good!
First of all I have to talk about the design, it’s so good! It comes in a range of colours, but the white really stands out. It’s crisp and clean, which makes it a pretty stylish hoodie. It has a black zipper straight down the middle which gives the top an added edge, as does the other contrasting asymmetrical black stripe going down from the top to left shoulder.
The design is finished off with the trademark Adidas logo and branding on the left sleeve.
It differs from other sweatshirts and hoodies for several reasons. First of all the material it’s made from is a mix of cotton, polyester and elastane, with the end result being a good fitting, soft but durable honeycombed feel of the outer, with the inner feeling very soft and smooth, rather than the fluffy interior you may find in a standard hoodie.
The funnel neck is perfect for keeping warm while outside on a run or doing other activities, zip pockets and the cuffs come with hideaway and thumb holes, as you can see from the photos, keeping hands warm but free for the best movement.
It’s a must have for Autumn and Winter if you love to get out there for a run, the ZNE hoodie is stylish and practical. It’s sold out fast almost everywhere, but you can get it from JD Sports for £65here.

Daniel Wellington have introduced a new line up of watches which they’re calling Classic Black, and they look really nice. DW watches have been taken to peoples hearts, and once you’ve looked at one, you’ll know why. As regular readers will know, I really love minimal styling, and really like that when it comes to watch design.
