Happy Thanksgiving Bloggers! (For yesterday!!)
Despite being proud to be British, the Americans have taken many of my loves from the UK including Simon Cowell and good ole Earl Grey, so I decided I fancied hopping aboard the thankful train myself! So for the next week I am going to add to my posts, what I am thankful for! Drum roll please....
Today I am thankful for.....TOPSHOP!
I know it must be easy to acknowledge the obvious love we have for Topshop...but this season’s collection is truly gorgeous. Combining the ultimate’s in luxury, femininity and impeccable style with that all important extra touch of je ne sais quoi...it is remarkably endearing with charming little details that add the bit of sparkle fondly associated with Christmas.
These Wedges are FABBBBB...£130
Crushed velvet jackets, baby doll scoop neck dresses, regal jewel embellishments, prints, feathers, lace and leather components, all feature enough Christmas bedazzle to light Oxford Circus all on its own! The dresses are vaguely reminiscent of ice skaters (in the Olympics as opposed to the local ice rink!) - Body con, dolly skirts, sequins and glam with bags of jazzy sparkleyness! Take a look at these beauties...
Feather £75 Sequin £85 Leather £75
Velvet Dress £38
The only major let down for me was by the supposed fashion guru herself, Kate Moss, whose collection borderline offends me! Its dull, irrelevant and inappropriate for the seasons shenanigans! Aside from 2 glitzy numbers which will suffice for party festivities, the rest include Victorian maxi dresses, Chinese prints and fishnet bras (?!) and if it's not fashion blasphemy enough...its predominantly made up from....viscose and polyester! no no no!
Speaking of bad taste....Katie Price is officially out of the jungle this week! (weyyyy) At least that’s something in the UK we can be unanimously be thankful for! Go Team Andre! Is is just me or are they starting to become the only subject that bores us more than a cupboard full of low fat rice cakes!?
Mr Beckham has been one of our nations leading trend setters for many men of all generations: his hair, his tattoos, his dubious (yet we give him credit for trying) sarong phase...and last year he successfully turned over millions whilst reviving an area of fashion which was rapidly decreasing in value...in the words of The Beatles, he "got by with a little help from his...friend!"
In 2008, Becks flashed his 'man of the match' for all to see on behalf of Armani, which not only appeared to grab the attention of the entire female population (who no longer found the need to flick hurriedly through the adverts of Vogue!) but dramatically boosted the sales of men's undies, both luxury and highstreet...Thank God! Ladies...He may not be leading our team any more, but his 'Captain' certainly made an impact!
A recently published article saw men viewing vests and socks as a greater commodity than pants!...The launch of Equmen increased the desire for purchasing vests, Pringle and Paul Smith socks are a standard year on year stocking filler....Are you not forgetting something vital inbetween?! Cough!
With that, a group of young, talented fashion industry professionals, took to the drawing board and decided it was time to get innovative. Finally, with months of hard work, long hours and creative thought...that's exactly what they have done...
"They say Guys dont care about underwear...
At Jacksy we have other ideas.
A New Brand Is Coming."
Created by a band of brothers (two biological and one pretend!), new label JACKSY have successfully and skilfully designed a new range of mens underwear which are stylish, innovative....and damn sexy. Those within the industry will acknowledge that the longevity of a brand is down to identity and Jacksy have certainly created theirs. Appealing to the 'modern man' not restrained to only wearing the Klein label, the boys assure the delivery of 'supreme comfort, premium quality and enigmatic style' all for a decent price!
Having been road tested by the team themselves (in a variety of conditions!) they certainly prove to stand the test of time...and I imagine so will the brand themselves :)
Note to Men: If we, as women, have to witness the bizarre trend of your boxers on display...then atleast invest in a decent pair!
Bye Bye Calvin...Hello Jacksy!
