Mr. Valentine :: Men's debut

I've been planning a men's post for a while now and little did I imagine it would turn out to be on Valentines day... Bloomingdale was having a redic closing down sale so I dragged my boy friend with the idea of re-styling his wardrobe. We spotted this really washed deconstructed Boss jacket on a discreet rail, just as we were giving up in the men's section. Now all we needed was a complimenting accessory. The plaid Ralph Lauren scarf was still on the mannequin when we grabbed it...just like everyone else in this closing down heaven, we were grabbing anything with a price tag on it! This is THE only way I have found to make my boy friend wear skinny jeans...get him a nice fitted casual jacket! Throw in a scarf for more incentive...make him listen to Justin Timberlake and watch youtube videos of Kanya West!  (if you know of other ways pls let me know!!) 
We all know how skinny jeans are to most non-fashion types...girly, scary, gay and way too tight at the crotch! But its time to convert boys or you will be no different from them rodeo guys in their levis 505's.  All you have to do is go into the store and try it on!! Gap is a great place to start. They have looser upper fits with skinny legs, great range of colours and mild washes. If you are more adventurous try Urban Outfitters or Diesel. If skinny jeans are definitely not for you then try skinny chinos in neutral or bright colours. Uniqlo, American Eagle and Benetton have a nice range. Don't have to buy it...just try it! 
WARNING :: Always wear nice fitted briefs with these things! 
TIP :: Rock your skinny jeans with some formal  dress shoes, NO tacky sports wear! (Maybe Converse..)

Ankur's outfit :: Boss Jacket

Jeans :: Gap, Straight fit in Navy (says straight but its a little skinny)

My sin :: I bought 6 pairs of shoes for a bargain price at the closing down sale at Bloomingdale, which is going to be the direct result for my happiness for the next few weeks! They are all floor samples and well worth it. Will showcase in the next few posts!

Vintage Clothing swap

Ive been to a lot of clothing & accessory swaps in my time but this one turned out to be one of the coziest. Everything was organised and arranged by a group of vintage loving girls, with a hoarder for a leader! What better way to clean up your wardrobe of all those bits from the thrift stores, and replace them with quality stuff that you can try on in your leisure.

Synopses :: Hand full of girls (with great wardrobes) come in with items they have loved for long enough. You get a token for each item you bring, largely divided into 1. expensive and treasured 2. Special mid-range 3. run of the mill 4. Accessories.

Highlights :: There was plenty of bubbly and sugar coated delights to tuck into during the swap. Everyone was warm and welcoming even to a strange English girl with American dyslexia...Even better was the abundance of smaller clothing that fit me perfectly! The highlight was the house cat that walked around inspecting every one's items and making sure stuff was in order!

I parted with :: my neon yellow Trevor jacket, but I got this lovely vintage yellow dress (second picture below) that I've already started wearing out!

What I wore to the swap :: American Apparel Tank top, Missoni for target skirt, Mango sequined jacket, Mom's vintage belt, Mom's old vintage bag, LD Tittle shoes. (below)

Thank you Jill and Jenny x o x

Style Pilot :: review and guest post

The Fashington Press presents Style Pilot a new men's styling and online store, yes...dedicated solely to men's fashion! Love the sound of that? Read on...

The Fashington Press has been planning to enter the sartorial and preppy world of men's fashion styling, and working with Style Pilot on this guest post is what we call good timing!

So in a nut shell...Style Pilot has a selection of great brands (I can vouch for this coming from a men's fashion background...) they sell on their online store. Superdry, Timberland, Stone Island and Boden are some of my favs. Some key brands are definitely missing but bear in mind its just a start-up! What is really different about their selection is that they don't have boring whole retail ranges but hand picked select pieces, and I love them ones that are on there. Bit quirky, very wearable, totally today and super metro sexual. 

You can easily create outfits by adding items to your outfit builder...this helps you visualise the final ensemble! They also help you style your out fit by the occasion which can be useful in a hurry. Here is the dandy outfit I made...

PS: I love that some of the pieces are discounted as well! Talk about bargain!
