2017 Menswear Trends Every Man Will Enjoy

June 23, 2017 by Kathryn Leave a Comment

These days, many men are as involved in fashion as women are. This is great because it means that your significant other may be as interested in looking good and dressing well as you! It also means that there is a lot more choice when it comes to menswear. Every year sees new trends, and 2017 is no exception. As you will see, this year, there is a lot going on in the world of men´s fashion. So, if you want to know what your man can look forward to wearing for the rest of the summer, just read on.

T-shirt Trends

Let’s start with a summer staple – t-shirts. Virtually every man wears them, so it’s not surprising they are a part of most collections. The vast majority of men’s t-shirts from jacamo.co.uk have some sort of design printed on them, which means that they are quite colourful. And as is often the case, sports themed t-shirts dominate. This year, baseball, American football and basketball designs are everywhere, as are US city logos, with New York t-shirts being available in most stores. The majority of retailers are mainly stocking short sleeved t-shirts, while overall lengths have got longer. [Read more…]

Look Slimmer and Sleeker with Built-in Shapewear Clothing from Svelte-Giveaway

March 14, 2017 by Kathryn 145 Comments

Having officially reached an age that could be referred to as my “late thirties,” I’m pretty pleased with my physical health overall. My weight is reasonable, I eat well and I manage to work out at least a few times a week (and sometimes even daily when I get in a good groove). But I do still have those problem areas that I like to smooth and tone if I can. And thanks to Svelte clothing, I can do that with no workout required!

Svelte features built-in shapewear to help tame that tummy, eliminate muffin-top and smooth your silhouette. Recently I had the chance to test out any item of Svelte clothing for myself and after some deliberation, I decided on the Slim Cut Denim Jeans in a size medium. I generally prefer boot-cut jeans since I sometimes find slimmer cuts to be unflattering, but with the right outfit, slim cut jeans can actually work well on almost every body type. I was curious to see how the shapewear would work with the slim look of the jeans to create a sleeker silhouette.

Brighten Your Winter Wardrobe with Affordable Fashions from DressLily

February 9, 2017 by Kathryn 27 Comments

The final months of winter don’t have a whole lot of appeal for most people. The fun of the holidays is done, the weather is miserable and almost everyone has started to miss the sun. But one thing that can brighten up even the darkest winter day for me is a stylish new addition to my winter wardrobe! Of course, after the holiday buying spree, I don’t want to be spending too much on new clothes. And with DressLily, I don’t have to! The company offers stylish looks at great prices to help update a winter wardrobe easily and affordably.

Recently I was able to pick a few favourite items from DressLily to create some new winter looks and I couldn’t wait. I’m a big believer in combining timeless designer items with affordable pieces to create a style that looks rich and luxurious without the hefty price tag. With my choices from DressLily, I got to work adding my favourite winter wardrobe items and showing off the finished styles.

I started by pairing my favourite authentic Aran wool sweater from Ireland with a new cozy pair of Plaid Fitted Leggings. I bought the sweater on my honeymoon but I’d been having trouble pairing it with anything but jeans. The plaid leggings suited the sweater perfectly and when I added a pair of fur-lined boots, I had the ideal outfit for the chilliest winter days.

Kids Are Always Picture Perfect and Ready to Play with Peekaboo Beans

November 19, 2016 by Kathryn 33 Comments

When it comes to clothes for kids, there’s no shortage of options these days. Boys and girls alike can head to school sporting anything from discount finds to designer brands. As a fashion fan, I’ve splurged on my fair share of trendy threads for Zackary and Benjamin. But there was always something missing from any clothing I chose. Stylish looks lacked comfort. Comfortable clothes wore out too quickly. And perhaps worst of all, the bulk of the clothing I purchased was mass produced in factories that used harsh chemicals and dyes in the manufacturing process.

Then last Christmas, Peekaboo Beans offered me the chance to review a few of its clothing items and from the second my hand touched the thick, durable fabric of the clothes, I fell in love. Less than a year later, I’ve had the chance to become Peekaboo Beans’ newest brand ambassador and I couldn’t be happier about the opportunity.

When it comes to Peekaboo Beans clothing, detail is everything. Founder and mother Traci Costa believes that comfort, style and eco-friendliness should be a priority when it comes to children’s clothing and when she couldn’t find clothes that were up to her standards, she created Peekaboo Beans. These clothes are hands-down the highest quality children’s wear I’ve ever found. And best of all, my boys love the clothing just as much! [Read more…]

Add Summer Flair to Your Wardrobe with Sox Trot Knee High Socks-Giveaway

May 12, 2016 by Kathryn 76 Comments

With spring finally here, I’m having a blast pulling out all my favourite skirts, shorts and dresses in preparation for warm, sunny days. And that means I’m also on the lookout for fun ways to accessorize my favourite outfits to give them a little extra pizzazz. As a lover of quirky styles and bright colours, knee-highs seemed like the ideal choice for my wardrobe. And recently Sox Trot gave me the chance to review a few pairs of its knee-high socks to see how they could dress up my look!

Now the first thing I noticed when the socks arrived is that they’re really more tights than socks. They’re thick enough to be washed and worn multiple times but they don’t have the knitted texture of actual socks. I actually preferred that style, though, since it means that they’re nice and light for summer wear!
