[AD-GIFTED] LAZY BEAR LAWRENCE NAVY BACKPACK FROM TRENDHIM.CO.UK


Today's blog post is a review of this backpack that we have kindly been sent by Trendhim.co.uk The back pack is by a brand called Lazy Bear who have a collection of lovely mens bags. Trendhim.co.uk are a mens accessories retailer, they stock a variety of different product and brands. It's super easy to shop as you can shop by category so you can find exactly what you are looking for. Trendhim stock everything from watches, bracelets, bags, sunglasses to jewellery and more. My experience with Trendhim was very good, the website was easy to use and browse and delivery was quick, sent via Royal Mail so I was able to track delivery. 

Clint picked out this bag from the Trendhim website as he's needed a new backpack for a while. He uses a backpack for work but we thought this would also be super handy for days out or a holiday. It's a good medium size not too big but you would be able to fit loads inside. It has a big front pocket with zip aswell as a laptop compartment inside to keep your laptop safe. Clint liked the simple design of the Lawrence bag, it's a Navy blue colour with Tan artificial leather detailing. They do it in a black version too. I think it a really nice smart bag that would be perfect for the commute to work but it's also casual enough to use as an everyday bag or a gym bag. It's a really decent size so you don't need to worry about packing too much stuff. It's a really good quality and the straps are comfy too so great for using on a day out. 

The bag is very nice and Clint is really happy with it. He will be using it as his new work bag, once he's allowed to go back to work. Be sure to check out Trendhim if you are shopping for mens accessories, Fathers Day is next month so a great excuse to pop online and have a browse.   










FASHION: MENSWEAR PICKS SPRING 2018



I thought i'd show a few menswear picks for the spring. I love the Spring because it's warming up abit but we still get to wear jackets and jumpers. I think the sporty trend is going to overlap into the spring so I think sporty hoodies and jackets are going to be very popular. Why not try pairing a hoodie with a nice pair of jeans and a smart pair of pumps/ trainers.

I've picked out this lovely camel colour t-shirt from River Island, I like the little black detail on the chest and think this would look fab with a nice pair of jeans or tracksuit bottoms for a casual everyday look.

These Boohoo Men jeans are really smart but the washed out look makes them a little more casual so perfect for everyday but not too distressed. I think these are a good all rounder pair of jeans that could be worn with any of the tops / hoodies above

I love this grey long sleeved top from River Island, Clint really likes this too! I think its a great item. It's easy to dress up or down but looks great either way. I love grey right now, It's really on trend.

How amazing is this striped tshirt, it's from Boohoo. I think stripes always make an appearance in the spring and with a nice pair of ankle grazers and some cute pumps, it makes a very Parisian outfit.

As I mentioned before I think hoodies will be very popular this spring so here's a couple of my favourites. The Khaki one is from Boohoo and is very simple so ggreat for everyday and will go with anything. I love this LA hoodie from River Island, Clint actually picked this out as he loves things with American prints on. He's been wearing alot of hoodies right now with a nice pair of jeans and his Timberland boots.

FASHION: CLINT'S TOP PICKS FROM BOOHOO


You may have seen Clint featured on the blog last week, we have collaborated with Boohoo this month and they have kindly sent over some bits for Clint. If you didn't see his last outfit then check it out here. CLINT WEARS BOOHOO THIS SEASON


Boohoo have a really good selection of menswear, they also have a good selection of sizes and colours. Clint was after a few basics to add to his wardrobe this season so he picked out a few t-shirts and this lovely grey hoodie.

He's teamed this dark grey hoodie with his skinny jeans and trainers so a comfy but casual everyday look. He's actually wore this hoodie a few times now and it's a really nice thick material. It's very cosy and soft so it's perfect for the colder weather we've been having.

As I mentioned above he also picked out a few new basic t-shirts. Boohoo have such a good selection of t-shirts in all different sizes, colours and styles. They are really affordable and are a really nice quality. He picked out this nice khaki colour muscle fit crew neck which I think really suits him, Khaki is one of my favourite colours for the Autumn.

He also picked out  a two pack of muscle fit t-shirts, in Black and Grey. They have other multi-packs of t-shirts so you can easily replace your old tops for some nice new ones.  As you can see they fit really well and are a really nice quality.

Check out Boohoo if you are after some really good quality menswear. Clint was really happy with all of the items he received. They all fitted really well and are all lovely quality. I'm sure he will be placing another Boohoo order very soon as he's seen a few jackets that he likes for the Winter.

FASHION: CLINT WEARS BOOHOO MAN THIS SEASON


Today's post is an outfit post featuring Clint. We have teamed up with Boohoo Men this season and will be sharing a few of Clint's top picks from the website. 

We had a pretty chilled out Sunday today and went round to Clints parents house for a little while. We've just got home and we've been organizing the flat to get it all ready for the babies arrival. She's due in about 3 weeks so it's getting very real now. 

He's picked out this skinny fit waffle hooded tracksuit in Grey and teamed it with this muscle fit black t-shirt for a casual everyday look. The tracksuit fits really well and is a really nice quality. It's a nice lightweight material and has a waffle texture to it. It's also available in Navy and Black. 

This outfit will be perfect for when were taking the baby on walks to the park or just having a relaxing Sunday afternoon and Clint just wants to be comfortable. The tracksuits are really affordable and as I said above the quality is really good. Boohoo have a huge selection of joggers and tracksuits in lots of different styles and colours so there's something for everyone.  

The Black t-shirt is actually from a pack of two, they are both very nice quality and really affordable. If you are after some nice basics i'd really recommend checking Boohoo out because they have a huge selection of t-shirts in lots of different colours and fits. 

Clint has picked out a few more pieces from Boohoo and we will feature them very soon so keep your eyes peeled for more outfit posts from Clint.

FASHION: CLINT WEARS JACAMO THIS SUMMER



The summer is nearly over but we've had a few nice sunny days here in the West Midlands so don't put those shorts and t-shirts away just yet. Jacamo have a huge selection of products ready for the summer and specialise in a wide range of sizes from S to 5XL 

We've had some decent weather this Bank Holiday weekend so far so Clint went for a shorts and polo shirt combo. We had a pretty chilled day yesterday and spent the day in the garden and making the most of the sun. 

The Navy polo is the Tog24 Beckett Mens Deluxe polo shirt, I love the Navy, Red and White combo! It's also very affordable at £20, It looks and feels a lot more expensive. It's 100% heavy cotton so washes well. Clint's teamed this with a pair of ripped denim shorts  which I feel dresses the outfit down and creates a more casual look for the daytime. This top would look great with a nice pair of dark blue denim jeans and some smart shoes for a night out.

The next outfit is another Polo shirt, this Jaquard pattern polo from Black Label at Jacamo stands out with the contrasting trims, again very easy to dress up or down. A smart pair of jeans would be perfect for an evening at the pub with the lads. I think it works well with these Chino style shorts. They are a really nice smart shorts and would be perfect for the summer, they are a really good style for a holiday as they are very versatile and would go with lots of different tops and shirts. 

What are you wearing this summer? Do you like Polo shirts, I think they are very easy to wear and a great smart-casual piece to add to your wardrobe?

FASHION: WHAT TO WEAR TO A SUMMER WEDDING?




Are you going to a wedding this summer? Don't know what to wear? I thought i'd put together this post and share a few of my favourite picks for a summer wedding guest.

I thought i'd feature a few bits for him as well as her as I have quite a few male readers.

I'm going to start with my for her picks! I love this orange floral dress from Asos! It's really pretty and on trend right now. It has short sleeves so perfect for those of you who don't like your arms, no need to worry about a cardigan or cover up. The length is really good, it's a midi length which suits alot of people. I'm short and find midi length works really well for me, the frill on the bottom of the dress is really on trend right now too! I think florals are perfect for summer weddings! If you are not brave enough to pull off the bright orange then a pastel floral pattern will work just as well!

I really like nude accessories right now and with the dress i've picked being very bright I think any more colour would be to much! This River Island Bag is perfect, it's white so super easy to wear! It's a decent size so you can fit your make up, phone and purse in. I would team with these nude heels! Very simple but effective again perfect with the bright dress!

For jewellery and accessories again I would keep it simple, I think rose gold would be perfect for that bronzed summer vibe! Just some tiny hoops/ stud earrings and a pretty bracelet is all you need.

I'm really feeling a bronzed goddess vibe so for make up keep it natural, use the Nip + Fab highlight palette. The middle bronzer is perfect and creates a gorgeous summer glow! The middle highlighter is gorgeous and leaves your skin glowy and fresh! I think the Urban Decay Heat palette would be perfect to create a bronzed smokey look to finish off the whole look!

First up for him you need to get your suit sorted first, Suitsmen have a huge range of suits perfect for any occasion, including a range of mens machine washable suits. This suit would be perfect for everyday or a wedding. It's good to go with something simple that you can wear again and again. You can accessorize using a tie and matching handkerchief. Why not match your partner and add the colour of her dress to your tie?

For men shoes are a big deal, again you want to keep them simple. Go for something sturdy and good quality that you can wear again. These shoes are really on trend but look like they are of a good quality. They look smart perfect for any occasion, especially a summer wedding.

Accessorize your look with cuff-links, waist coats and a fancy watch!



Are you going to a wedding this summer? What will you be wearing? Got any tips for those summer wedding guests?

FASHION: MENS FASHION TIPS



I thought i'd share a few mens fashion tips today. I think mens fashion can be quite hard as not all men want to wear things that on our trend and personal style can influence what a man wears. I've been with Clint for over 3 years now and would say i'm confident that I can buy him clothes that he would like however I still struggle with sizes as he's inbetween sizes sometimes. I thought i'd share a few tips on mens fashion and share a few key essentials that every man should have in his closet.

A good selection of T-shirts is a must, Clint has too many T-shirts for one person but he has a great selection of going out and evening tops and alot of more casual everyday tops. He's really into his NFL right now and I got him lots of Tshirts for Christmas. You can wear a tshirt like this with some jeans and a hoodie for a casual day time outfit.

Every man should have a suit in his closet it doesn't matter if you don't work in an office and wear a suit everyday. It's good to have one handy for an occasion. You never know when you might need one for a wedding, funeral or graduation. It's a must have. you can always buy new shirts or ties and accessories to switch it up abit. I think having a smart, plain black or grey suit that fits well is a staple piece. The Label Suits have a huge selection of different colours and styles to choose from and you can by a full suit or they sell them separately too.

Some comfy but smart/shoes are a great addition. You need your more formal shoes to go with your suit for weddings etc but something like these Timberlands are great and can smarten up an outfit for daytime but can also make an outfit a little bit casual. I would wear these with a smart jumper like this plain Navy jumper, some dark blue skinny jeans and these shoes for an evening at the pub or in a bar for drinks with friends. You can easily wear them for everyday just for shopping or going to the cinema too.

FASHION: MENS FASHION PICKS 2017

Standout.net have some really great products from a huge selection of designer brands for Men such as Calvin Klein, Penguin, G-Star and many more.

I picked out some of my favourite bits and thought i'd share them with you. I've based my picks on clothes that I think Clint would like and wear. I always think Clint looks good and he really cares about his appearance which I love.

First up this Jacket is from Jack and Jones and Clint actually just bought a jacket like this. I think its great for this time of year. It's so cold in the UK right now so this is a great coat. The colour makes it so versatile and easy to wear.

Clint already has a couple of pairs of New Balance trainers so I thought i'd feature these. I also have a pair and they are really comfy trainers, you can get them in lots of different colours and styles. I like these Black ones as they would go with everything and be easy to wear. I think these are similar to the ones I have, they are a suede material which looks really good.

These are Scotch and Soda Black The Nero Skim Skinny Fit Jeans, Clint always goes for skinny or slim fit jeans. I like these because they are a simple style. I'm not really a fan of boys wearing jeans with rips or a distressed look, even if this is trendy I prefer a plain jean and I think Clint does too. You could wear these in so many ways and I think Black jeans always look really smart on a night out.

Muscle fit tops are really on trend right now and there's quite a few to choose from on the Standout site, I really like this G-Star Slim Fit Longsleeved Grandad Pocket Tshirt. You can easily dress this up with some smart jeans and shoes or wear it with a hoodie for a more casual day look.

Finally the scarf is Ralph Lauren and it's this gorgeous Wine shade which is perfect for the colder months. I think this would look great with the coat.

All the products above can be found on the Standout.net website along with lots more designer clothing, shoes and accessories.

FASHION: SUMMER WEDDING OUTFIT IDEAS

With the summer upon us and the school holidays are about to start and so is summer wedding season. I thought i'd put together some outfit ideas for him and her. 

I love dressing up for a wedding, it's an excuse to go and and buy and whole new outfit. I picked out some pretty summery dresses. Pastels are always a good shout for a summer wedding. This pretty floral dress from New Look is a gorgeous print and a really pretty colour. I find bodycon styles like this are really flattering on me as I have an hourglass figure. 

These pale blue shoes from Topshop are so pretty, I love the colour and the wooden heel is lovely, I think they would be really comfy, perfect for a wedding.

I picked out this stripe dress from Topshop which is a lovely shape, I am a huge fan of  stripes. I'd wear this with these gorgeous strappy sandals from Kurt Geiger, these are such a stunning pair of sandals which you could wear time after time. 

I love this embellished bag from Accessorize, it's perfect for the summer wedding/ prom season. 

For the Guys

When it comes down to outfits for mens for weddings it's all about that perfect suit. There's some really lovely suits out there so I thought i'd share some inspiration with you. 

This Noose and Monkey suit is a really classic style I love the contrasting Velvet Lapel and I love the skinny fit of the jacket. It's a really nice quality suit that would be perfect for any occasion. Noose and Monkey have some really unique suits and shirts so check out their SS16 lookbook here to see their latest styles. 

I'm a sucker for a grey suit, this one from Topman would look fab with a nice skinny fit shirt and a grey bow tie like this one from Noose and Monkey. 

A pair of brown/ tan brogues are a great staple for any summer occasion, you can pop them on with any colour suit and they look smart but trendy. I really like brogues and think they are a classic style.

I love a check shirt, with a nice blazer to dress it up or on its own with jeans/ or trousers and some braces for a more casual occasion.
