DIFFUSION LEOPARD SHIRT






Hey guys, it seems like it's been ages since I last posted across on my blog and that's because, well, it has been! It's not because I haven't been inspired or creating, I have! Over the past week my creativity has come back in a big way! Thanks to a spontaneous trip to London late last week, it's truly opened my eyes, as well as my mind to all the opportunities that's out there and what you can achieve if you put your mind to it. And what you can create for yourself! It feel's like the past few months I've been a total recluse hiding in my comfort zones however, I've made a promise to myself, this is about to change!







I'm back, my creativity has returned in a big way and I know I'm back on the right path, right where I should be! I'm going to shout about what I do and put myself back out there, hopefully with a little luck on my side, I can start getting a lot more videography work! I had an awesome time in London, meeting old friends and making new ones, as well as exploring a city I love, returning home feeling massively inspired and happy!




I've recently been filming a lot behind the camera so it was nice change to get back in front of it and shoot this blog post! All Saints is a brand I have always loved since an early age, all you have to do is to read back over the pages of this blog and you'll get an idea! This season they seem to have come up with a collection of killer pieces. You can watch my YouTube where I talk about this sweet leopard print "Diffusion" Shirt and life in general.


 

You can check out the Diffusion Shirt  across on the All Saints website, its a killer short sleeve shirt, made from a lightweight viscose and has a perfectly cut Hawaiian style collar. Click below to watch my YouTube.



Peace, Love & Rock N' Roll,



THE KEITH SHIRT





This is the third and penultimate piece I have for all you vintage lovers out there (for the time being anyway)! Hopefully, they'll be a few more pieces down the line, that's if you guys want more? You may recognise this little 70's style shirt as it's featured across on my blog before. I picked this up in Manchester's Northern Quarter a few years back from one of the independent vintage traders on Oldham Street.







Sadly, it's now time to give this shirt another life with someone new, it's just getting too small for me! I still love it as much as the day I found it, but if it's just sitting in my wardrobe not getting worn, it may as well go, that's my new rule and this year I'm sticking to it!

The specifics -

£25

The shirt is a 38 short, I take a size small but since this shirt is from America, it's even smaller than that, I'd say it was a U.K XS. The shirt has some killer vintage personality with its over exaggerated collar line and unusual waist tie. That's why I was attracted to this shirt, because I'd seen Keith wearing pretty much the exact same style! The cuffs of the shirt are also meant to be wide left open, as each cuff has only two buttons placed very high on each sleeve. The shirts black and white heavily patterned design oozes that super cool, rock and roll vibe which I (obviously) absolutely love. The measurements are as follows - Chest - 38 short, Length - 24, Sleeve length - 23, Under Arm - 17 (all measured in inch's).

BARNEY'S ORIGINALS




Tonight on the blog I have a local leather brand to talk to you about - behold, my new suede jacket! I kindly got gifted this piece from Barney's Originals, who are based right here in the heart of Manchester. The weather has recently taken a turn for the worst and got a lot colder. Where has the British summer gone? Cold, in August?! It's not ideal. So, with the weather not being on my side I had to reach into my wardrobe for a jacket and luckily Barney's came through!



My heart was disappointed when having to dress for the autumn already, but as soon as I put this jacket on I didn't mind as much. This sexy suede is exactly what I've been looking for! It's not an 'out there' jacket, it doesn't scream 'look at me', but when you do take a glance you soon realise it's fucking cool piece. The jacket is very sleek, stylish and understated. It's like a silent assassin, it slowly kills the game.





I rooted for the small and it fits like an absolute dream, the arms and shoulders of the jacket particularly feel like it's been tailored to me. The small collar line is also very cool, nothing fancy but does the job perfectly. The suede the jacket is made from is soft to the touch and smells amazing, I also love how jet black the suede looks, especially contrasting with those brushed YKK zippers.





The other small detail on the jacket that caught my eye is the triangular fastening on the bottom of the jacket that hides the start of the silver metal zipper and the pointed fastening found on the cuffs of the jacket, I love the shape of these fastenings and the attention to detail on the jacket.




Zipped up or down, the jacket looks insane and I just love the simplicity of it. As you can see the jacket looks sweet with a pair of classic black skinnies, but I bought another new piece into this look with a shirt I picked up from work. This Phix Clothing shirt looked awesome under the black suede jacket featuring the strong monotone zebra pattern.







I've never had quilting in any jacket of mine so this was quite a surprise for me, however, I actually think it brings something to the jacket. Firstly, a point of difference and secondly practicality as this jacket will keep you warm on colder days. The inside pockets are also quite handy with one on each side, one with a zip for money essentials and the other left open for more accessible items like your mobile.




I paired the jacket with complementing suede boots from @fromthefirst and my buckle belt which was given to me by the guys at @Savage__offficial. I think this outfit is very cool and one I'll be wearing a lot, when topped with my trusty black fedora I can't go wrong.
