The Infinity Suit by T.M. Lewin

It always exciting when a company launch a new product. Last Friday T.M. Lewin launched their new infinity suit which looks and sounds incredible. This new suit is specifically designed to look sharp throughout the day whether you're having a busy day at work and running errands. With its new crease resistant technology this suit leaves you looking good all day long. The suit also contains an open weave allowing water to be absorbed easily. This means you feel comfortable and cool whilst looking well put together.
The model Chase Armitage is a free runner and has directed multiple productions. As you can see from the photos the tricks he performs are high risk and very physical. Its the perfect way to showcase that the infinity suit can withstand anything. So walking around the office or catching the train is nothing.

If you know anyone on the hunt for a new suit then the Infinity suit seems like the perfect option for a man's wardrobe.

Beach Day Musts

The beach is one of those places that can instantly make you feel happy in an instant. The mere sight of sand and sea that's never ending just instantly puts a smile on my face. Whether it's lapping up the sun abroad or enjoying the hustle and bustle of the English seaside some essentials are needed for a beach trip. The idea for this post came from a hash tag on Instagram created by Adore Me so if you want to get involved upload your ideas with #BeachDayMusts.

I think most of the items I picked are pretty self explanatory but I'm really not all about taking fancy items. Lets be honest whatever you take will get covered in sand at some point so take what you need and just enjoy relaxing. A hat is essential for me, on my last holiday my scalp got so burnt and I definitely learnt my lesson. A tangle teezer for the frizzy mane that is my hair, seriously at the beach I get so many knots so its perfect. I don't read a lot of books which isn't something I'm proud of. However at the beach when I'm sitting there enjoying the sun I tend to pick some sort of autobiography, currently I'm reading Caroline Flack's book and I love it. She's definitely a girl crush of mine. Maybe I'm a bit old school but I still use my iPod to listen to music instead of my phone. I love listening to music so I have to take it to the beach with me, gives me a chance to daydream.

Now I'm in the mood to go on a holiday again, anyone want to join me??

A Few Summer Favourites

 

 

I am not someone who is made for the summer, heat and me we just aren't a match made in heaven. Feeling all sweaty, wearing clothes that I feel uncomfortable in and my skin breaking out just isn't my ideal situation. But the one great thing about summer, you get to actually be outside. Nothing beats spending the day outside either at the coast or just in the garden soaking up some rays. I thought I'd take some photos outside working with the lighting whilst babysitting my gorgeous nephew (hence the sandpit). So I figured I'd snap some of my favourite things I've been loving in the summer so far.

I joined the Quay Australia sunglasses hype a couple of months ago before I went on holiday. I bought these blue tinted mirror framed glasses and I bloody love wearing them. I seem to freak out a lot of people wearing them (seriously the boyfriend is not a fan) and have been referred to as looking like a fly. But I think they're cool and I can somehow pull them off. To be fair I think I can pull off a lot of things but yeah...

Sandals are a staple for summer and its so good to wear flat shoes. Now being the sewing geek I am I love any form of embellishment so when I saw this beautiful beaded pair of sandals from New Look I just had to have them. I believe they were around £20.00 so a bargain. With the pop of orange they add a bit of colour to my very monochrome wardrobe. Plus they were comfy from the first moment I put them on a real rarity with my feet.

I'm really loving brightly coloured jewellery at the moment and there's not better season to wear it then summer. This anklet I also got from New Look for holiday and I just feel cool wearing it. Its very different for me and I feel a bit bohemian. The only downside is that the bright pink transfers onto my ankle which is a tad annoying but I can deal with it. It doesn't irritate me like I thought it would and I feel like I want to buy more jewellery pieces now. Guess its time to experiment.

Finally I thought I would include a cup I'm enjoying. I have many goals I want to achieve in terms of being more healthy and one of those is to drink more water. I thought buying a fun glass would make me want to drink water more. I purchased this pink jar from Primark a couple of months back and it's so cute. With the logo let's do cocktails what's not to like really...

How are we near August, I swear time is just flying by!! I need some more plans for the remaining part of the summer we have left.

A Seaside Pirate Adventure

 

 

 

 

 

 

Its rare that I get to go away but after going abroad last month and going for a weekend away I am fully now on a mission to make more time for myself and get away. I think everyone needs a break from everyday life. This past weekend I went down to Hastings with my family to have a weekend away. Each summer they have a day in July called Pirate day and everyone goes to town. Last year I missed out as it was my first shift at my supermarket job (yes I've been there a year already...).
I'm a massive fan of the Pirates of the Caribbean films and anything with a skull on so it was safe to say I was in my element. My whole family got involved dressing up and everyone in the town wore an array of costumes. Some of them were incredible, yeah my costume nerd side came up. Definitely have some inspiration to make some Pirate outfits now. To have time with my family was really nice, life is so busy so its quite uncommon for us to all get together. And with my nephew being the happy, full of life baby that he is made it a lot more special. Everything was Pirate themed, pubs were full, music blaring and the pier had a treasure hunt for all of the family.
And um I met Captain Jack Sparrow, okay maybe he wasn't exactly Johnny Depp but the resemblance was crazy.
I just love being by the seaside, I don't think it'll ever lose its charm. The air is fresher and everything just seems a lot happier there. And the weather for once was amazing. I need another weekend away soon.

YSL Black Opium

Whilst on holiday I wanted to treat myself to a new perfume. I bloody love a good perfume, seriously I can't go a day without wearing it even if I'm just lounging about the house I still have to spray some sort of fragrance.
I've wanted to get my hands on Black Opium by Yves Saint Laurent for a very long time after hearing many good things about it (shocker bloggers and Youtubers have influenced me buying something yet again). As I had spending money I figured I would treat myself so as soon as I saw it I was like yep it's going to be mine. I am terrible when it comes to describing perfume but its not like anything I've smelt before. Its quite a dark smell compared to the usual vanilla sweetness I go for. It's kind of musky in a nice way and just makes me feel special when I spray it. The bottle as well captures the dark nature of the perfume. With the black and pink mixed glitter covering the outside it's a mix of sophistication and mystery. Two traits I personally am always attracted too. Its just looks damn good on my dressing table in my room.
Safe to say I've found my new favourite scent, the price is steep but if it smells that good then it's worth every penny.

Where Have I Been...

Hello, yes I do still exist haha. I didn't post for the month of May, that wasn't intentional but it just didn't happen. I think I've realised how much I want to create content I feel proud of and some of the stuff I posted recently I'm not completely satisfied with. I'd rather post nothing then post something that is crap. I've updated my Instagram (hence the collage above) with my usual selfies, things I've bought and photos of days out.
Life's been a bit well weird. Job wise I'm still in my retail shop job. My confidence in applying for jobs has just gone lately so I've been so lazy. However in my head its time to move on so I need to man up and do it. Speaking of manning up, I've managed to bag myself a new boyfriend (wtf). So yeah that's us in the top right we had a day trip to London yesterday and it was lovely. The weather was dull and rainy all day of course but it didn't spoil anything. And we even went on the London Eye, something I've wanted to do for ages. It took me months to pluck up the courage to talk to him at work but finally did it. And somehow that developed into dates and now a relationship. I do get quite scared to post stuff about it like pictures as it's still really new but I haven't been this happy in a long time. And it feels really nice. I'll stop with the cheesiness now. Also I go on holiday in just over a week and I cannot wait. Lots of photos will be taken and hopefully a few posts as well.
Hope your all doing well, oh and apparently in the UK its now officially summer. Maybe someone should tell the weather that.

It Was Time For A Change

 

 

I'm not a very outgoing, spontaneous person, I never have been. I stick to what I know, stay within comfort zones and just get on with life. There are many things I've thought about changing in my life. My fitness level and overall health is something I'm massively keen to get back on track. My style I want to mix up a bit. But my hair is one of those things where I haven't really changed for years.

As crazy as this is going to sound my hair is pretty sacred to me, I know such a bloody girly stupid thing to say. But I've always had issues with it. As a kid I had what I called my afro but essentially short ringlety frizzy hair and it was just atrocious. And discovering straighteners as a teenager meant I overdid it and well my hair essentially died from the heat. I've kept my hair the same for as long as I can remember really, only getting the ends trimmed. I feel like you're a bit limited when you have curly hair. For years I've been trying to grow it and finally it's got a bit longer now. But it still has a way to go to what I want it to be (below the boobage area).

I've been contemplating getting a dip dye for ages and I've finally taken the plunge. I didn't want my whole hair done as dare I say it I like my natural hair colour. I got the ends dip dyed in this gorgeous vibrant purple and I bloody love it. I think the colour is gorgeous and goes so well with my dark hair. I literally am so happy with it. 

 



 

I'm now a proud member of the dip dye club, I just feel a bit revamped now. Maybe I should think about making some other spontaneous decisions.
