OOTD / CYBER MONDAY FT ALL SAINTS AND TOPMAN + TATTOO UPDATE // IYAAJAY

November 27, 2017

marcel crew jumper by All Saints (currently 30% off)

mar boots in black leather by All Saints (currently 30% off)

super spray jeans in black by Topman (whole site currently 20% off)

im so sorry its taken me a long time to create new content for on here, but if you work in retail you'll know that its been Black Friday, now moved to Cyber Monday, where its been flat out madness with deals a plenty everywhere and huge queues to boot.

Now Im pretty happy i can just click onto brands I love and confidently buy pieces I know that'll work for me but also that I can get on a great deal such as the Marcel crew by All Saints which I had my eye on but the original price was a tad eyewatering so I was pleasantly surprised to see it up for 30% off which meant I HAD to snap it up this time before it sold through (at the time of writing this, theres only 2 sizes left online). Same thing goes for the Mar boot which i impulse bought at the beginning of the season due to low stock, are now also 30% off too. Topman took it one further and had 30-50% off selected lines in store but then offered 20% off everything online (that wasn't already in the 30-50% deals) which means you can grab my staple jeans for £32 which is a pretty good bargain considering how well they hold up.

Plus, on my only free day last week, when I should of been creating content (I know I know but wait for it) I was actually getting tattooed again by the lovely Gee Hawkes, who not only is an incredible artists but is also one of the sweetest people ive ever had the chance to meet so I totally trust her when it comes to my tattoos. Ive now had 3 done by her and I love how much they fit into my style without being too out there. I found my first one (which ive now had for over a month and is properly healed) didnt actually hurt so I knew that these shouldn't be too bad either. The inner arm one, a wave in a circle, which I love the meaning for (what goes around comes around) didn't actually hurt too bad, id say like a 2 out of 5, but the lighting bolt by my wrist really hurt surprisingly and id say rating a 4 on the pain scale due to it being on the bone. Im not planning anymore yet, but I'm always thinking of new ideas for the next ones!

OOTD / GINGHAM FT TOPMAN, TOPSHOP & ALL SAINTS // IYAAJAY

November 08, 2017

black gingham check shirt by Topman

Gingham had a real resurgence in the summer, and it doesnt look like its going anywhere soon. With the heritage trend raging, gingham is covering everything this season but in wearer friendly combos that go with pretty much any essential winter wardrobe.

This shirt is a real multitasker. Not only is this doubling as a thin coat, its practical enough for this time of year due to the outer pockets and internal pockets, which make it great for layering under leather jackets etc but this'll also make a brilliant transitional piece into the spring.

I feel this works better with a more smarter looking outfit, such as this example pairing it with a fisherman jumper, my trusty super sprays and some cuban heels for a more wearable look. Im also looking forward to pairing this with a crisp white tee, some cropped trousers and a classic pair of trainers for a more off duty look too.

OOTD / HUMBUG FT DIOR HOMME, TOPMAN AND ALL SAINTS // IYAAJAY

November 01, 2017

0202 glasses by Dior Homme (click here)

toffee and black stripe muscle fit knitted polo by Topman (click here)

super spray jeans by Topman (click here)

shearling borg jacket by Topman (tan version here) (similar coat available here)

mar boots in black leather by All Saints (click here)

This is a real mood board of autumnal staples which I'm really getting into now that the clocks have gone back, its growing colder and we're rocketing through this year like nobodies business.

First off is the new frames that I nabbed from Eyewearbrands, a great site for designer frames and sunglasses as a fraction of the RRP. I got these Dior Homme 0202 glasses which are in a dark grey and silver colourway which really fit in with the colours I'm loving this season but also are a great classic style for my face shape. I love how a pair of glasses can really elevate a look and add another dimension to it too.

Next up is the polo. Im not usually one for polo shirts, whether it be knitted or not, but I oddly fell in love with how different this was to the rest of my wardrobe. The biggest change for me is the silhouette as its a muscle fit so it sticks like a second skin and is surprisingly comfortable with the soft knitted fabric.
