3 Thoughtful Birthday Gifts For Her That Will Last Forever!

3 Thoughtful Birthday Gifts For Her That Will Last Forever!

When we’re buying a gift for someone we love, whilst having experiences together can be a wonderful way to celebrate, sometimes you’ll also likely want to choose something they can keep and appreciate forever. That’s where we come in! From cute flat back earrings through to a thoughtful photobook, we’re here with three really different ideas, to suit all different budgets, that will mean the world to the person you’re buying for.

Solid Gold or Sterling Silver Jewellery

If you have a bit more of a budget and you want something that the person will wear and love for a lifetime, then get some solid gold or sterling silver jewellery. If you know them really well, you can get them something really personalised, like tragus earrings or flat back earrings to suit their piercings. Perhaps you know they have quite a funky style so could go down that route. If you’re not as confident, stick to simple solid gold and sterling silver jewellery that they will keep forever, as well as stack with other pieces for endless combinations. Safe choices are things like bracelets, necklaces or lobe earrings, as they can be worn by anyone (as long as they have piercings!), or if you know their ring size, you could go down that route as well. Birthstone jewellery is a stunning option too if you’re spoilt for choice.

A Photobook

Next up, you could create a photo book. Print off photos of all your favourite memories together and put them together in a photo book, whether you get a plain book and stick everything in, or you get one with slots for the photos. We personally really like the plain book option, as you can also write little notes next to the photos about the memories, such as little inside jokes, dates or place names. Then, you could leave some space in the book if there is any to add more photos of future memories together! This can cost as little as £10, so is definitely worth doing as it can really show the person how much you care.


Flowers In Resin

Lastly, we have flowers in resin. Start by buying a bouquet of their favourite flowers, then write a note with the flowers to say that when they’re starting to dry, that they’re getting sent off to be put into resin. They will be able to appreciate the fresh flowers, then they get to keep their favourites forever on display! You can press flowers at home and put them into resin, however it can be kind of difficult, so if you’re not confident or big on DIY, it would be worth finding someone local to help you out. This is a really unique gift that your loved one will surely appreciate. If you also wanted to just get the flowers in resin, you can find providers of this on Etsy, however the extra step of the person actually having the flowers is a lovely addition.… Read More..

How To Dress Smart In Cold Conditions This Winter

How To Dress Smart In Cold Conditions This Winter

Dressing smart this winter doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice warmth! There are plenty of men’s streetwear options to keep yourself warm and looking dapper at the same time.

Learn To Layer Your Clothing

Layering your clothing is a fantastic way to control your body temperature during cold weather. You can achieve this by wearing multiple layers of clothes, that can be taken off or put on when necessary. It can take some time to learn how to combine the different layers of clothing that you may be wearing; but through experimentation, you can learn how to wear a combination of clothing that helps keep you looking dapper this winter. During cold weather, you can also wear a thermal vest underneath your regular clothes helping to keep you warm. Thermal vests can increase the range of clothing you can wear during wintertime, as you may be able to wear clothing that without the thermal vest you would feel cold.

Invest In Good Quality Knitwear

Purchasing good quality knitwear is another way to keep warm and stylish at the same time. Choosing knitwear made out of wool, cashmere and cotton are all good ways to retain body heat. Knitwear comes in a range of colours and patterns helping you to match your knitwear with the other layers of clothing that you are wearing.

Choosing The Right Coat

Choosing a coat that fits you right and is made out of warm materials is a must to stay warm this winter and wool is a good choice for coats. When you are choosing a coat try to imagine yourself wearing it with the clothing that you already have, ensuring it is a good fit for your wardrobe can help you look your best when wearing the coat. Another way to maximise the outfits is to wear with your coat whilst looking dapper, is to choose a coat that is a natural colour such as grey, camel or charcoal.

Accessorise

Wearing winter-warming accessories such as hats, gloves and scarves can be a great way to keep warm when out and about. Each of these comes in a range of different colours and patterns allowing you to choose accessories that match well with your existing outfit. Accessories can make a big impact on your overall outfit and can be the first person people notice, accessories can also be memorable if matched well with the outfit you are wearing. If you are about the house and are dressing down you can wear a pair of men’s full tracksuits for maximum comfort and a good level of heat retention.

Don’t Skimp Out On The Shoes

There’s a saying that states that the first thing that most people notice about someone’s outfit is their footwear, which is why it is important to ensure that your footwear not only goes well with your outfit but also keeps you warm in the winter. Choosing a good pair of winter boots can be a great asset this winter to keep your … Read More..

How To Style Streetwear In 2022

How To Style Streetwear In 2022

 

Understanding how to style streetwear is a talent that not many people have.

With streetwear taking over the fashion industry, it is probably time for you to understand how to style streetwear. Furthermore, there are a few changes this year compared to previous years.

A lot of the guides out there will tell you the same things over and over again, referring to styles that were common years ago.

If you ever struggle to understand the style of streetwear and how to wear it, look at how celebrities such as Kanye West, Rihanna and many others style streetwear.

Here is your 2022 guide to styling streetwear and keeping you on-trend.

 

Colourful Coats and Jackets

We all know that wearing oversized coats is the go-to for many people when it comes to streetwear. Furthermore, the style of a streetwear coat has changed a lot.

Contemporary and unbranded jackets with bold colours seem to be the traditional choice for a streetwear jacket. Take away the bold colours and boring styles that were once worn.

 

Oversized Hoodies

Oversized clothing has always been the choice with streetwear. It seems to be a trend that will never die with streetwear. These oversized men’s hoodies are on-trend with the streetwear community which is why you need to buy some to keep up with the rest.

With the winter season around the corner, there is no better time to buy yourself a streetwear hoodie. It is a classic Japanese style that many people wear in the western world with a pair of vintage joggers and sneakers.

Unlike streetwear jackets, the colour of an oversized hoodie is a lot more basic. These tend to stick to monochrome colours such as white, black and grey. The reason for this is that the graphics on these hoodies look better on a monochrome background.

 

Loose Styles

Loose-fitted clothing has always been a common fashion trend for streetwear clothing. This will always be the common trend with streetwear clothing so get used to it. Cargo pants, men’s designer t-shirts, jackets, joggers and many other types of clothing. Again, if you are unsure how to style loose-fitted clothing, look at celebrities like Billie Eilish and Travis Scott.

 

Combining Streetwear With Sportswear

One of the biggest trends in the streetwear community is combining sportswear with streetwear, giving a more loungewear/athleisure look. Usually, this would combine a pair of jogger pants or tracksuit bottoms with an oversized top.

Sportswear is a popular look in the United Kingdom and it is easy to understand why. Not only does this achieve the comfort of an outfit but, it can also have that streetwear style that everybody is wearing. Joggers are a very common style but there is a new streetwear twist to this look in recent years.

 

Summary

Streetwear is a style that everybody enjoys wearing. One thing that many people think is that it is only for the younger generation when in fact, it isn’t. Furthermore, streetwear can be … Read More..

The Different Lengths of Dresses and How to Wear Them

The Different Lengths of Dresses and How to Wear Them

 

When it comes to choosing the length of the dress for an event, it can be difficult. Furthermore, there are a few things which can help with your decision. The weather and the type of event you are going to will help with the decision.

Here, we will help you choose the perfect length dress for you and how you can style it. Womens fashion & clothing is great because we have so many options, however, the number of options is what can make it difficult to choose what to wear. Hopefully, this guide will help you with your future events.

 

Mini Dresses

The mini-length dress will be the shortest option out of the three. Furthermore, these types of dresses are more suitable for drinks with friends. They are your typical night out dress that those party girls love to wear.

If you are unsure of how short these types of dresses are, they are roughly 10 and 20 lower than your wait. Furthermore, there are even shorter mini dresses out there to wear, however, if you want to stay classy, we suggest you stick to the lengths that we have just mentioned.

Mini dresses can be worn by all body types as long as the shape of the dress fits well. If you think the dress is too short, we suggest you wear a pair of heels with it. These dresses are for going out although we would advise you not to wear these at a formal event.

 

Midi Dresses

A midi-length dress is more suitable for your formal events and a classier look. The length of these dresses is usually between 26 to 30 inches from your waist. This will usually be around your knee length.

One thing you must always remember with the length of dress is to consider your height. If you are tall and have long legs, the average midi-dress will be a lot shorter than you think. Furthermore, you need to ensure you browse the sizes when buying this length of dress online. If you are buying in-store then that isn’t a problem as you can try it on.

 

Maxi Dresses

Up next, we have the maxi dresses which are much more suitable for the summer months. These are casual dresses, meaning that you can wear them wherever you want such as going to the shops or for a meal. Furthermore, there are dressier versions of this dress so if you wish to wear it for a formal event then you can. These lengths of dresses are much more comfortable and appropriate. If you are unsure about the length of a maxi dress, these will go past the knee, midway between your feet and knees.

To Conclude

 

There are many dresses out there you can wear for going out or just for a quick coffee with a few friends. One thing you should always take into consideration is the temperature outside. You should always avoid wearing a bodycon dress … Read More..

Thoughtful Birthday Gifts For Your Girlfriend!

Thoughtful Birthday Gifts For Your Girlfriend!

 

It can be difficult to be inspired to get your girlfriend for their birthday, so we are here to help! Whether you want to plan a fancy date and buy the cutest going out dresses or get something personalised, we’ve got you covered, no matter your budget.

 

Plan A Date and Buy A Dress

Our first thoughtful birthday gift idea for your girlfriend is to plan a date and buy her an outfit for it! Plan a date evening with a meal and drinks, or whatever your favourite activity is, and then buy her a full outfit to go with it. This could be a couple of mini dresses for her to choose from, some shoes and some cute accessories. She will really appreciate the thought that’s gone into planning everything, including her outfit, so this is a great birthday gift that’s a bit different.

 

Make A Photo Book

Another thing you can do if you have less of a budget is to make a photo book. Print off your favourite pictures from throughout the year, or your time together if you’ve been together less than a year, and then arrange them all in a photo book. You could write little commentaries about your memories with each photo if you wanted to! You can sit down together and look through the photo book together every so often, making this a super thoughtful gift that she can keep.

 

Weighted Blankets

If you and your girlfriend love to chill and watch films, then a weighted blanket is a great present! Weighted blankets are all the rage thanks to their calming properties, helping to stimulate the production of serotonin, a hormone that boosts our mood, as well as helping to increase melatonin, a hormone that helps us sleep. This is such a good gift to get cosy under for a film before going to bed, or perfect for naps.

 

Get A Personalised Necklace

Jewellery might be a classic gift, but if you get something personalised, it will mean so much more. You could get her initials on a necklace, both of your names, her star sign in writing or her birthstone in the necklace. Pay attention to whether she wears gold, silver or rose gold more to take inspiration for your choice! This is such a cute gift that she will be able to wear over and over, thinking of you when she wears it.

 

Personalised Perfume Kit

Personalised beauty is a big trend, which is why buying a personalised perfume kit is such a great idea for her birthday! Your girlfriend can sit down with the kit which will contain lots of smaller bottles of perfume, which she can mix and match to create her own signature scent. No one else in the world will have one exactly the same which makes this so special. Just make sure that you make a note of what you’re putting in, just in case she wants to make it … Read More..
