My Top 3 Jumpers At Topman This Season

Alright serns, hows it going?


So I've been having a search around for the perfect winter jumper this AW14, and where better to look than Topman. My style is dark and I tend to look for a simple design. High street fashion is affordable, and that's exactly what I'm looking for. Not only this but a stylish design and premium quality, if you look hard enough you can find all three.

1 // The first jumper I looked at was this basic navy oversized sweatshirt, it's cheap and basic - what more can you want? It looks great too, I have a grey plain sweatshirt myself and I love it. You can't go wrong - it goes with everything. The sweatshirt has deeper trims with a loose fit, although it maintains shape, it's a loose hang on the body. I love this as I wear a lot of baggy stuff myself but sometimes loose fitting items can make you look out of shape, but I'm very much enjoying
this look.

2 // The second sweatshirt is the salt and pepper boucle sweatshirt. The texture and detail of this sweatshirt is great, I love the colour too and if you wear a lot of dark clothing like me, it's a great piece to break up the colours. Another benefit is the sweatshirt is a great layering piece to any look. Personally I don't really like layering myself I find I get hot too easily and I just prefer to keep my look and style much more simple than having numerous pieces to make up a look.

3 // The third and final sweatshirt I looked at which I absolutely love is the TXNMY black rib sweatshirt, I haven't heard of this brand before but it looks pretty cool, if the rest of their stuff is similar, I will be checking them out for sure. This sweatshirt caught my eye because it's unique and that's what I love, individuality. The ribbed texture on this sweat really caught my eye, it adds great detail to any look and because of the plain and simple colours it will pretty much go with anything. It has a longer body length and dropped shoulders, this is perfect for me as, like I said I enjoy oversized clothes and because of the dropped shoulders it will maintain shape which I like.

So there it is my top 3 sweatshirts for Topman AW14, all at affordable prices which is the best bit.

I really hope whoever is reading this enjoyed it and I thank you so much for getting this far and taking the time to do so.

OOTD #2

Alright serns,

My look today was extremely effortless and very casual. I went on an adventure through Bristol taking pictures and sightseeing, so I thought I would share today's outfit for you, here it is.

The statement piece in my look today was my faux fur trim hood traditional parka from new look a couple of years ago (I will link this seasons equivalent from new look, which is extremely similar) It's my favourite coat and it's always a winner, it brings such style to a simplistic look, with draw strings on the waist it adds a fitted look or like me I just have it loose as I don't want to feel so restricted.

The parka is my favourite because it looks great and it's extremely up to date with fashion, the parka also has chest pockets which are so comfortable to leave your arms dangling with your hands staying warm. The faux fur hood is great, its also a good addition to the look giving an exaggerated appearance to the hood which breaks the colours up too adding to the outfit.

My black stretch skinny jeans from Topman are so comfortable, I used to like my jeans super spay on skinny but not anymore. My stretch skinny jeans still give me that skinny look but with a hire comfortable wear. I turn the bottom of my jeans up to create a cut off between my shoes and jeans with my white socks coming through and breaking up the dark colours.

My choice of footwear is the classic Dr. Marten low top shoe (1461) in black. It's a timeless classic, these are my favourite pair of footwear, it took me a while to break them in but once it happened I've never looked back. Dr. Martens aren't for everyone but the brand itself promotes individuality and a cutting edge in fashion so I love it, why be the same as everyone else?! They bring a real style to your look.

Hope you enjoyed this blog, please comment and follow if you have enjoyed it!

Essential Parka Coat AW14

Alright serns,

In the last few weeks my girlfriend bought herself a brand new parka coat for the winter and here it is.

The faux shearling lined parka from Mango is a must have piece for AW14, it's an everyday parka which will help keep her nice and warm and ready for the cold whilst maintaining serious style.

Inside, the Parka has a detachable quilted lining which, when the spring/summer months start creeping in, is ideal for those warm days and nights.

The dark look is simplistic and adds an edge to her outfit and, with a draw string waist, it can change her whole shape and definition which is a great feature (which is, of course, not necessary!). The parka is great when trying to pull off the casual look as it goes nicely with a pair of jeans, whilst still maintaining a fashionable look.

I think layering is perfect with a Parka coat and that's a great look this AW14. Layering with similar colours and different styles and textures is an easy way to bring together an interesting style.

Although this particular parka is not so affordable as others, it is something that can be kept for years, as a parka is always on trend for the winter months. You could find a similar, more affordable style at shops such as New Look, River Island or H&M.

I hope whoever reading this enjoyed it, if you got this far then thank you so much for taking the time to read this.
