TENS & VINTAGE SPECS

Evening guys, tonight, I want to start off with some new killer shades! I've been lucky enough to find a handful of super cool sunglasses over the past few months plus a brand that have kindly just gifted me a pair of their epic tinted glasses! It's being a while since I've sat down and posted something across on my blog so I thought I'd put together something small and I'd show you some of my sexy new additions to the eye wear drawer.

I love a pair of sunglasses, I mean when do they not come in handy? Either to hide a raging hangover or to remain, well . . unidentified. The bigger the better in my book and if they cover pretty much all my face, I've found a pair for me! I've built up quite the collection over the years, some designer, some cheap but all fucking oozing that rock n' roll chic! I'll start with my most recent pair I was kindly gifted by a Scottish brand - Tens which I'm wearing in these shots.

First off let's chat about the look of the website as well as their range of sunglasses - its a must see, after reading this of course! All the visuals as well as the films showcasing their ranges of super cool shades are perfectly shot. I'm not normally one to comment on films as I always think I can do way better (yeah, my head really is that big) but when it comes to what Tens have created, I can well and truly say they've really smashed it out the park, what a vibe!

I guess that's the visuals you get when the brand is owned and ran by two photographers. However, I've not even got to the best part of the brand - whatever sexy frame you decide on, you then have the option to choose the colour of the lenses which you can choose from a huge range of filters & tints, anything from a desert orange sun to a deep forrest green, it's really like walking around with an instagram preset! I rooted for the Tropic High Sunnies which have the most amazing tint I've ever experienced in glasses and look down right cool!

Next up, I have two other pairs which you can take a look at across on my YouTube. I recently picked them up in Edinburgh, these guys just show that you can still pick up a pair of super cool shades for a small budget. I spent six pounds each on these sunglasses and I think they're worth every penny! I found both pairs on the same day, from two different Armstrongs stores in the city. Armstrongs, if you don't already know are a series of vintage stores scattered through the city and well worth heading to if you're ever in Edinburgh.

The first pair I came across were these jet black wide lens shades, which give you all the anonymity you need by basically covering half your face - just the way I like it! The others I found are the exact same shape (how lucky is that) but these particular sunglasses are in a tortoise shell. I'm all about the tan, brown, earthy tones right now. The perfect addition to accessorise that outfit!

Check both my vintage pairs out below on my YouTube channel -

Enjoy the sunshine!

KICKING OFF 2021 WITH VINTAGE

Hey guys, welcome back, and let's all say hello to 2021! Tonight I'm kicking off the new year with a vintage jacket I found a few weeks back. The post isn't just about this particular jacket though, it also has inspired me with a lot of fresh ideas and given me much needed motivation to start the new year - pretty good going for just a jacket!

So what's my idea, well, I sort of touched on it this time last year, buying and selling a handful of vintage pieces via my Instagram. However, this year is a whole lot different, I desperately wanted to start the year with a project & since we find ourselves in fucking lockdown again I decided I'd kick the year off on my terms and give myself a personal project. It'll be something I can channel my creative energy and focus into, as we find ourselves in tier four. So with all those idea's in my head he's decided to join Depop. Hopefully this will make it a lot easier for you guys to check out my vintage gems - keep an eye on my brand new account for some epic vintage jackets coming your way very soon - click the link and follow me be the first to see them across on - Depop

I've put a lot of work into sourcing these latest pieces (which I'll show you over the next few weeks). The plan being - to shoot the items in a very individual & creative way, making a small, mini campaign with the collection of pieces I've curated. Vintage is so individual, and damn right cool, not to mention environmentally friendly, reusing clothing rather than buying brand new or throwing away, I've got my hands on everything from leather jackets to suede bikers and everything in-between and all pieces are 10/10, lets hope I'll be able to part with them. For me the best way to start 2021 is by styling, wearing and loving these pieces from the past, so buckle up for a killer year of vintage!

I've always loved vintage and it's always been a big part of my wardrobe, interchanging it with my looks always gives me an edge no one can replicate, giving my outfits a cool & individual look. This year I'm making even more of a conscious effort to buy, wear and sell a lot more killer vintage. I mean take this 70's suede, I couldn't just go out and buy something similar, it's not that easy. This jacket is so unique, cool and it fits me like a dream. Paired with a monotone polka dot shirt and my killer lace up styled jeans from Tigha, this outfit screams seventies rock and roll.

Its belt wrap and awesome western detailing make this jacket quite a statement, it looks sweet worn open and even pretty sexy tied and held shut with the metal buckle. The collar line and opening of this seventies beauty is to die for, over exaggerated and pointed, the cut and lines to this jacket are all perfect. I'll keep you guys in the loop of when I'll be selling some sexy vintage, but for now Happy New Year

Peace & Love,

Let's make 2021 a year where we all ace it!
