Menswear Update! JAY/K Sneak peak!

Here's a sneak peak at the JAY/K menswears AW12 collection!
I'm a big fan of the classic coats featured.

This crombie coat in herringbone tweed with contrasting black lapels and pocket flaps would look great dressed up or down and is around £150. Hello value for money!


Old Brompton Road Jacket

Smart shirts are tailored for a nice slim fit and are available in rich yet muted tones and colours for the AW season. 


Dulwich Village Shirt


West Hampstead Shirt.

JAY/K is a Swiss brand, so, expect to see a firm nod to the colder climbs with cable knits too.



 Shoreditch Knit


Battersea Rise Shirt


 And last but not least!  Here are a few of my favourite printed Tees! No self respecting mens collection would be complete without a few of these! Layer them under your JAY/K cable knits or brave the quintessentially British, Indian summer and pair them with your favourite pair of denims.




Brondesbury Tee


Herne Hill Tee

So, in short...... guys, get yourselves on to the JAY/K website at,
or give them a quick like on facebook to get updates and to browse previous collections.

Eye Candy!

Ok I know that the concept of sunshine is a relatively alien one in the deep and dreary depths of Manchester! But I can still appreciate a bonnie pair of bins, believe me!

Linda Farrow! Amazeballs for your Eyeballs!

Ahh! Linda Farrow/Prabal Gurung, be mine!

Eye Candy! Errm....... Yes!







S/S 12 Style Inspiration!

As spring hits me square in the face, I realise that now is the time to embrace colour, feminine silhouettes and romantic hemlines.

OR

I'm going to channel Romy and Michele and Alabama for the next couple of months! Inventing post its.... Optional!










Fresh Prints!

Prints are amazing! Clash them! Match them! Dilute them down with pastel hues! They are versatile, fresh for spring and definitely make a statement! 

Seeing as I am already torturing myself by perusing all these wonderful pieces without being able to buy any, I thought I'd torture you by posting some seriously fresh prints!

The Milly Miami trend @ River Island!


Dolce and Gabbana S/S 12

Topshop Surf Luxe 2012.

Monochromatic prints with a vivid colour pop.
Trousers- Malene Birger - £169

Versace's print mash up works wonders in silky fabrics and casual tailoring!







 

Head Slams!

So after the episode that was "The Tramp Induced Head Slam!" I'm finally back to health. Never will I ever take on the side of a reinforced glass bus stop again!

But to go with a new head, I decided to go with new hair! Blonde! Ooh it took a while but yes it's finally there!

After tons of protein treatments and moisturising masks, it's not looking too shabby!


I'm still getting used to finally having a normal hair colour. It's hard let me tell you. To soften the blow I bought some extensions and dip dyed them! 
I've only actually worn them once because I'm quite enjoying being a classy lady at the moment. But I'm sure it won't last and I'll have to crack them out in some sort of high ponytail/pigtails, a la Jeremy Scott!


But here's what they looked like on their first outting!
