SUMMER FLARES, A DOORWAY TO COLOUR







Evening guys, we're back on a Tuesday night talking some killer cool summer flares, oh baby you better be ready! I'm right into a pair of flares of late. I've been wearing them a lot over the last few months, especially in all this warm weather we've all been lucky enough to be enjoying. Normally I'm that guy still struggling and sweating, year in year out in the hot summer months with my black skinny jeans. However, this year, it was time for a must needed change, bring on the flares! It's been a staple look of mine this summer and an integral part of my wardrobe for sure - tonight I'm going to show you my favourite two pairs of the season.





May I introduce to you, my most recent purchase in the flare game - these sexy, mint green flares, pictured above. These are the coolest, lightest, most comfortable flare. An all round perfect trouser for the summer months or a must if you're jetting off on a late holiday. My recently love affair with flares has opened the door to not only being a lot cooler (in temperature) in the sunshine but also, yeah you heard it right - colour! I've stayed away from colour over the years but this past year I've worn pieces which I'd never of dream of, moving from the black and white aesthetic to more of a seventies airport rockstar look.




"YOUR ARSE LOOKS AMAZING IN THEM" not my own words in front of the mirror but my girlfriend, Louisa as I crossed the road in front of her while out in town. I mean, who knows, maybe it does but that's not the only reason why you need a pair in your own wardrobe. The burnt orange flare were my initial purchase for the summer pre jetting off to Paris, I got these back in March and they've been on my proclaimed "sexy arse" ever since. Both pairs I got from Asos, they were both relativity inexpensive, around the £30-£40 mark, giving anyone that seventies style for a bargain price and looking fucking super cool whist doing so.






I paired both pairs of flares up with my white cuban heel boots from Alessandro Vasini - giving me that little extra hight and ensuring the flares have a lot of room to do their thing, rather than brushing the floor. I can't recommend these flares enough, a cheap, light change to the classic jean for the summer. You have to check out Asos and grab yourself a seventies look, all links and details are in my YouTube.

As always, cheers for reading, 



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!

Enjoy the sunshine!



PHNT VIETNAM






Evening guys, we gotta good one this evening, you'll have seen me wearing a few styles of this brands killer shirting range across on my instagram in the past week and now here's the post to go along with for that extra added info. There's no secret this brand takes a lot of inspiration from Saint Laurent's collections, colour palettes and that rock n' roll aesthetic, but come on, it's certainly not a negative. Take a look for yourself and check out their instagram to see a killer line of garments and even bag yourself some inspo on how to rock their sweet line of shirting.






Price wise your looking at just over £30 from its exchange rate in Vietnamese Dong, this is nearly a third of the price of some British brands making the same clothing in similar factories in Asia. In fact its way better, as all PHNT's designs are made from linen, rather than the cheaper cotton or viscose materials!




Postage is fast and secure, I received my parcel by DHL, price wise you're talking £20-£30 depending on the weight of your order however, its well worth the cost as you're saving just as much on the exchange rate. As you can see my favourite three here, I absolutely love them, and look how fucking cool they look when styled up!
