Happy Friday!
I hope you are well and had a good short week. Today’s style I have gone for a brand new piece of clothing I’ve literally just bought, my H&M Sweatshirt! It’s red, white and blue, and as soon as I saw it, I had to get it for myself!
You can check out the full outfit look below, but first I’ve got to talk you though the top.
Happy T-Shirt Tuesday!
This feature couldn’t have happened at a better time. In the days where we’re seeing reports on the news and weather that it’s one of the hottest Summer’s ever, everyone is running around in nothing but a tee, and in some cases, going bare-chested (not a good look!). This week I’ve chosen my striped Cheap Monday T Shirt.

Happy Tuesday!
Since the Summer is here I thought I’d do a little simple weekly style feature called T Shirt Tuesday! I know what you’re thinking, the name for the feature must have taken me ages to think of 😉
To kick things off I have gone with a classic, a staple, and some may say boring choice of T-shirt; The humble plain white tee.
I got myself a couple of new T Shirts in the sale! If you’re a regular reader of my blog you’ll have seen them before, they’re the RB94 T Shirts from Diadora.
If you’re not familiar, Diadora collaborated with Roberto Baggio on a capsule collection which was to bring back the styles of 90’s trends, in particular the USA 94 World Cup. The original collection featured a few pieces at the back end of last Summer and was limited, then shortly after a wider collection was released, including these T Shirts.
As mentioned, they’re based on the home and away shirts of the Italy football team, who played in blue and had a white away shirt. These tops are iconic, Italian football was the best in the world in the early and mid 90’s, before the Premier League really took hold. Football has always been huge in Italy, and after Italia 90, they had a real chance of winning USA 94, and got all the way to the final, before losing to Brazil on penalties. Their talisman and star Roberto Baggio missed the crucial kick, but is always remembered fondly around the world as one of the best players to play for Italy.
Since I featured these tees on the blog last year they’ve always been on my radar, and since going to Rome recently they came back into my mind, and after a quick search I found a couple from the collection which I could get, which were also on sale which was a bonus.
They make perfect clothing for street wear style, and as I’ve mentioned plenty of times I love 90’s trends, so these are perfect. The Italian badge is replaced with an Italian style Diadora badge, along with the Diadora wording on the opposite breast. It has tonal patterns within the shirt, synonymous with the football and sports shirts of the era. It was a tough decision whether to get the blue or white, so I ended up getting both 🙂
Hey guys!
I hope you’re having a good Tuesday. We’ve had some brilliant weather over the past few days, and that’s coming to an end (apparently) tomorrow so I made the most of the rain-less days and got out and took a couple of shots in my new check shirt I got from Mango Man in the sale.
When it comes to check shirts I really love them, but I only love a particular style. I like so many checks and patterns, but my favourite are buffalo prints, or checks which are medium-large in size, just like this shirt. The really large “plaid like” checks and squares can look a bit too big for my liking, and although I do like smaller “gingham like” checks, the type I am wearing here is by far my favourite. Whenever I see shirts in this pattern I am drawn to them, and always consider buying them, and in this case, I did.
Hey guys!
Happy Friday! I can’t believe that the week is almost over already and the weekend is (almost!) here. The days and weeks seem to go so quickly, the Summer is slowly disappearing and soon it will be gone which is something I hate! I better make the most of Summer style while I can 😉
One of my favourite styles for summer are nautical stripes. I have several nautical striped tees, from dark tops with light stripes, to light T-shirts with darker stripes, I’ve got them all. This is one of the nautical tops I got from ASOS last Summer, and it’s still in really good condition and is something I really like wearing. For my style of the week I have kept the look simple with only this top and a pair of black denim.
For the shoes I have gone for Kurt Geiger, and picked my suede derby shoes. The good thing about the warmer weather is that I can wear these without fear of damaging them in rain or puddles…Although it looks like I am too late, I wore these out one night and got them splashed. I should have used some suede protector, sadly I didn’t, and they’re now marked. I may try to get them back to a better condition.
I own a lot of sunglasses, too many in fact. I actually only wear 2-3 pairs these days, and usually switch between two, both Ray Ban. I have both of the classics, the aviators and the wayfarers, and for this look I’ve gone for wayfarers.
Last weekend I went out and had a blast, and this weekend I have no plans, although that may change. I will be happy to just relax this week and do nothing, not go out, and not go out-out, but that doesn’t mean that’s how it’s going to work out 😛
Have a great Friday guys! 🙂 (a few more pics below…)
Hey guys!
The weekend is here and I couldn’t be happier about that! It feels like I have just worked, done some running, ate a little, slept and then done it all over again for 5 days, I am so happy to have two days off! ? I have been able to put together this style of the week post, so you can check out my favourite outfit which features a pair of ripped denim and my Kenzo tee.
So this weekend I am going to go to the NE1 Motor Show aka the Newcastle Car Show, which is on Grey Street. It’s been a yearly thing for 2 years now, I was there in 2015 and 2016, and this year it’s supposed to be even bigger so I look forward to checking it out and seeing what’s going on.
So as for my style…I am not the biggest fan of light denim, but If you read my men’s jean advice guide then you’ll know that I’d consider it one of the five pairs of denim to own, as it gives your wardrobe more diversity and having different colours of denim will give you a far bigger choice when it comes to putting outfits together. I love indigo and black denim, but sometimes it’s good to mix things up and try something different.
The denim is from Cheap Monday and is pretty good. It’s a ripped jean style which is good for the Summer and I do like these jeans, however I don’t really wear them all too often. I paired these up with my black Converse for a typical casual look, two classics which will live on forever.
This Kenzo tee is one of my favourites, I got it quite a while ago and I still really like it. It has the trademark Kenzo branding to the front, which is appliqued on and is a kind of check/tartan style of pattern within the wording.
Have a great weekend guys!

Happy Saturday!
It’s 1st July, and it’s brought the sun back! For the past week or so it’s been more like Winter than Summer, day after day of miserable weather and rain; We’ve gone from wearing shorts and T-shirts to wearing Winter coats. But at least the sun has come back out to play (for now!)
For my Saturday Style this week I finally got to wear my white Air Max Ultra 2.0! Since the weather has been so terrible I’ve not wanted to wear these outside because I’d ruin them straight away and I’ve only just got them.
I finally got some white trainers for Summer!
Yes, I went ahead and got a pair of white trainers! With so many options available I picked out the limited edition Air Max Jewel, bought them, and then cancelled them! 😀
Then I found a pair of Air Max 1 Ultra 2.0 which were in the sales, and thought I better get these quick! Then Nike reduced them further so I ended up paying more than I should have! ?
My story of white trainers for Summer… I haven’t really had any. I did buy some Adidas Superstar trainers several years ago, and I never really wore them. I still have them, and they look to have become faulty, with the toecap going a creamy-yellow colour, so I don’t really wear them.
I’m going to create a white trainer guide for the blog as I do like white trainers. I was going to buy a pair last Summer but couldn’t decide which pair to get, and ended up getting none.
Now I have taken the plunge and opted for a pair of Air Max, the Air Max 1 Ultra which I really like.
First of all I have to talk about the trainers I didn’t buy. The Air Max 1 Jewel Black Diamond…I think these look so good and I did actually go through and buy them, and after thinking about it, decided to cancel the order.
Why? Well because they’re made of hard leather.
I’ve never tried them, but I think that the hard leather may not be too comfortable, especially in the heat of the Summer, and are undoubtedly heavier than the Ultras.
The second pair of trainers I considered, and may also end up getting as a secondary pair, are a pair of Adidas Stan Smith’s. Yes, I know they’re a similar hard leather, but if I get a pair I’ll only be wearing them now and again, so for that comfort can take a back seat.
So let’s me tell you about the pair I did end up getting, the Air Max 1 Ultra 2.0. They’re light and breathable, bright white and all white, including the Iconic swoosh, which is something I was looking for.
I got a pair of the Ultra Moire trainers a couple of years back and love how light and comfortable they are, so picking out this pair as a white pair was a really easy decision.
The mesh is really lightweight and works well with a textile upper, the fit is quite snug around the sides and the width of the trainers, but I’m used to that from the Ultra Moire.
So I’ve finally joined the white trainer club 😀 I may also get a pair of Adidas Original Stan Smith in the near future too, or another ‘smarter’ pair of white trainers. But for now, I will enjoy these 🙂
When it comes to creating an outfit using these white air max, there’s so many things which can be worn.
A light pair of chinos would work, as would a pair of indigo denim. For the ultimate in contrast, wearing black jeans with these white trainers looks really cool. The black and white are complete contrasts with each other, so both shine when wearing them together.
Let me know what you think of these, or if you have any other recommendations for all white trainers for this season let me know.

Hey guys!
I hope you are well and have had a great week. It started off well with a Bank Holiday, but for some reason this week hasn’t felt any shorter and I am so glad that it’s Friday and the weekend is here. I can’t believe June is already here, when it starts you know that it’s truly the start of Summer, and I do love the Summer 😀
For my outfit of the week I have gone for something simple, all from one brand, Levi’s. You remember that a few weeks ago I picked up some thing from Levi’s, I really like some of the stuff they’ve been putting out, and it’s definitely a brand which is back on trend.
