Awesome Gift Ideas for Fathers Day

I always feel that Dads get a little typed cast and opting for a gift box of Lynx is certainly not going to cut the mustard. As they say it's the thought that counts and of course it does which is why instead of purchasing a few things that are not actually useful or realistically will be used what is the point? I always feel less is more and getting one very thoughtful gift is far better than a few cliche buys. I have been working with Braun to share my thoughts on sensitive Dads and how their whole world changes when they become parents just like us mums. You can read more about it here . Of course the Braun Series 3 ProSkin is a fantastic option for Dads this year and a number one choice but I thought I would share a few other unique gifts for the man in your life.  1. Klean Kanteen insulated steel bottle by Patagonia £29 2. Fjallraven Greenland Backpack £105  3. Ralph Lauren Breton Striped Top £95 4. Asos Vintage round sunglasses £12......

Street Style - Infinities Menswear

It's not often I catch John laughing or smiling on camera, not that he is a grumpy guy but rather just a very reserved person although he has a very dry sense of humour, in this shot he was making fun of how I stand for outfit posts and was doing some pretty hilarious versions, although it's nice to show a lighthearted moment. I may have mentioned this before on the blog but John is extremely meticulous and particular about what he wears, his style and wardrobe is far more curated than mine, I am at times not sure of what direction I want to go in but there is something good about knowing what works for you and feeling comfortable in that style. He approach is a very simple one, less is more, quality over quantity and looking after your clothes properly - he has a pair of Red Wings which are more than 15yrs old but they certainly don't look it. So when Infinities got in touch asking what John would actually like for Valentines day over chocolate or stuffed a......

Street Style Sunday - The Dark Knot

So we are back with a Street Style Sunday after missing last week due to being under the weather and we thought we would jump back into things with some menswear fashion with a focus on that often over-looked accessory the Tie. The wonderful people over at The Dark Knot sent John one to review and first impressions were great as the packaging is stylish and oozes quality and would be the perfect gift for a special man in your life this Christmas. John has to wear a tie for work everyday and one of his first comments was how well made they are and are real step up from those you find on the high street and they offer starter kits and monthly tie club. He has paired it up with a shirt and jacket from Ralph Lauren and Edwin jeans. Personally I always think it's nice to see men mix it up and not only be casual on their days off but every now and then put on a shirt and tie for a smarter look. The Dark Knot also offers exquisite hand made silk ties, pocket squares an......

Street Style Sunday - Denim Dress

As I have said before it can be pretty hard to find dresses that are post-pregnancy and feeding appropriate but when I came across this simple denim style dress from Zara I thought it would be perfect for a casual summer look, paired up with some gold slip-ons also from Zara and my black Paul Costello bag. John has also recently picked up a Beams Plus summer jacket and shirt and paired it up with Edwin Jeans and Clarks YMC loafers. As we have been so busy this past month, going away a few times and lots of day trips to London, it's been important to be fairly practical as there has been a lot of long hours on our feet but still wanting to remain stylish, so for summer it's all about loafers, espadrilles and sandals and it's great to wear them while we can as the UK summer is always too short for my liking. I would love you to come and join in with Street Style Sunday and share anything fashion related. An InLinkz Link-up ...

Street Style Sunday - Johns Jacket

It's that time of the week again for Street Style Sunday and I hope some of you can come and join in. I thought since John recently purchased this jacket it was time to do a little mens outfit post as he actually has a larger wardrobe than I do (which will be immediately rectified when we move later this year). He wore this outfit earlier in the week when we managed to get away for 2 hours and enjoy and amazing afternoon tea (post to come). Eastland shoes, Edwin Jeans, Ralph Lauren shirt, Beams jacket So this week John is wearing a Beams jacket, Ralph Lauren Shirt, Edwin jeans and Eastland shoes. I have also picked up a few new things that past week and starting to get around to updating my wardrobe for summer so lots more outfit posts on the way. Come and share what you have been wearing this week or what has been inspiring you An InLinkz Link-up ...

Street Style Sunday - Spring Throwback

Casual style in the spring sun It's that time of the week again - Street Style Sunday - I was really excited about this week as I have a lovely new outfit that I am eager to share with you all but the last two days have been spent under the covers as I have a cold and believe me I don't like good at all at the moment, in fact I look pretty awful, so I thought I would have a little throwback to what we were wearing this time last year. Going Monochrome with a Vero Moda shirt, Max Studio trousers, HM shoes, Paul Costello bag Spring is a bit of strange but exciting time of the year, one day you could wearing a big coat while the cold wind whistles through the air and then next day you could be in light shirt enjoying those first blissful moments of warmth from the spring sunshine. Joules dress perfect for spring paired with a Radley bag I also cannot believe how much Mr A has grown, he looks so young in these photos from spring last year and it just seems ......
