Final post of April … and what a
great month it has been. I began my blog, continued my blog and am excited to
carry it through into May and beyond. Last night provided another fantastic
episode of Made in Chelsea, giving its viewers their weekly fix of fence scenes
and awkward silences. Furthermore, the cast seem to have an alcohol problem
going by the excessive visits to bars and pubs during any part (and normally
most of) the day. One can assume they subscribe to ‘Living Social’ and have a
lot of vouchers to claim … speaking of alcohol, I became aware of a very
interesting blog in April, Gin O’clock. After being shown
Elizabeth Windsor's twitter I have been an avid follower. It is a hilarious
read and gives some thought provoking views on topically political events.
Speaking of gin, a recent gin taste test by Jilly
Goolden has revealed that Aldi's own gin can stand up to the likes of Gordons.
Being a huge gin fan I have to admit that personally, Sainsburys own gin hits
the spot and not the bank account. Another reason to cut the corners when
purchasing your more sophisticated beverage is that you can treat yourself
to some lovely attire from http://www.twostoned.co.uk. Take a look at the
link to a blazer from the brand, a great buy at just £50!
Two stoned blazer
If you’re thinking of
purchasing a full suit or tux rather than just a blazer, but have the dilemma of
empty wallet syndrome, then you’re in luck.
Double O bargain tux
Johnny Tuxedo has brought out a tux for £99 which you
can put in the washing machine! It sounds ideal for students, when washing and
ironing is the bane of your life and apparently will make you look like Daniel
Craig (another loose and fast and generally wrong quote from the
DailyMail).
To be honest i think the brand has done a really good
job with this new line, with the advert looking not too far off a Jack Wills
poster. Follow the link for a browse of the range.
If you’re looking for
something more upmarket but still watching the purse strings then take a look at
Buongiorno YOOX.
The Italian fashion outlet YOOX provides last year’s
designer clothes worn by the Real Madrid team (maybe) at a fraction of the
price. So if you're looking for some posh get-up that won't cost you your life
savings then take a look at the link. Have a look at the trends I've posted,
even though it's last year’s stuff the looks are pretty much timeless. You
always need a nice plain shirt and tie, am I right?!

Looking for a more casual look, then take a look at this
sassy minx (nipples pierced and all). Today he's wearing a hoodie from Primark, CK jeans and Topman Tee.
Today I'm wearing a Topman jumper and River Island jeans. Both are comfy warm
looks for a spring weekend. I think that mixing brands is always the best idea;
designer jeans can be purchased at a reasonable price from TK Maxx so I
definitely think it’s worth the extra effort burrowing through the rails of
clothing to find the perfect pair.
Team up with a pair of Converse (you can't go wrong).
Its worth looking into a leather pair, if like me you were them to death until
they fall apart in about 6 months then you should definitely get some leather ones.
And for some great nipple bars:
