Top 3 fashion picks of the week

Hey everyone! Welcome back to my top 3 picks of the week! Sorry this one is a little bit late but I haven't had a phone for the past two days! Anyway let's begin! 
Firstly we have the black and yellow floral printed tee from Burton. This stylish piece is on sale for only £8 and would be great when added with some light colours.

These are the blue nappy smart shorts which are also from Burton. They are definitely a late summer buy, they look like they fit excellently and are made from 99% cotton which will be very comfortable. They are £25.

Lastly, I bring you the criminal damage flawless bomber jacket. This is a beautiful  design and a wonderful bomber jacket. I hope you guys love this more than myself because the patterns are stunning. This product is currently on sale for £45 and was £80!

As always I hope you enjoyed! 😊

The Barbican

Today we visited the Barbican Centre to view it's exhibition of Jean Paul Gaultier's collections. His work was interesting and different and he has spent an unbelievable amount of time on his pieces. One piece took him up to 1060 hours to design and create. We enjoyed a majority of his work but some lacked creativity and seemed a common technique used by most fashion designers. Nethertheless, a good day well spent with Molly and has resulted in my knowledge of fashion to increase and improve. Hopefully you will go and look at his work yourself and hope you enjoy the style below 😊 thank you! 

Below you will see a style for for summer! I have always thought that lighter colours are better colours, the supra vaiders finalise this look. The light colours will look great against your summer tan. A white tee is essential for every man's wardrobe and this Ralph Lauren tee is the perfect price and comfort for your summer look. These Lacoste chinos were a good purchase and have served me well, they're are comfortable, stylish and can be worn for both street style and  formal looks. The supra vaiders have always been something I longed for in my wardrobe, the vibrant colours of them make them a finalising piece to your look.

We wait for the weekend

Okay let's face it, we have all been there. I'm talking about when you are waiting all week for the weekend and what do you do? Nothing.. This may have been because your friends decided to cancel on you, that they remembered they had other plans, or if you are like me, you are extremely tired from working from the 9 hour shift you just finished. Finishing at 9.30 pm wasn't what I looked forward to after coming back from Corfu. 

Anyhow, you're at home, it is Saturday night and you're at home. You may be playing your video games, watching a film or kicking it back with a well written book. In any case, the outfit stays the same. Some people may stay in their work uniform or pyjamas, but if you're like me and can't stand to wear that uniform anymore because today was too horrible, then here's what you should do. 

You want to wear something casual, (obviously) there's no point wearing a suit as you dine with your game, film, book etc. but you want some comfort, that you can move easy in and won't cause you any uncomfortableness or strain. Now please take this the right way, do not wear a track suit, track suit bottoms or anything with the word track in them. As comfy as they are, they are how do you say "so 2009". So please throw away the tracksuit bottoms and find something that won't make you look like a slob. There's nothing worse when someone screenshots your snapchat because not only are you spending your staurday night speaking to them, but you're also wearing something that makes you look like a girl who's just broke up with her boyfriend and is about to open a tub of Ben and Jerry's, how embarrassing.

Accessories should also be out of the window (don't actually throw them out of the window). For an outfit this casual there shouldn't be any need for them. However do feel free to add some simple bracelets if you would like to.

Right let's stop with the stuff you don't need and start with the outfit which you do need. Your hair should be natural, but depending on the length of course. Having your hair natural allows you to relax and not feel the stiffness or greasiness of it which is what you want when relaxing. A t-shirt is essential for wearing at home, the ultimate casual look , don't wear your favourite tees and focus on wearing simple colours. NOT a vest, unless you want to hear another slob reference, again it's just unnecessary and you're not in the sun, you're inside so put the guns away. Something that is great to wear for a chilled evening is chinos (not track suit bottoms). Yes, some may say they went out of fashion 2/3 years ago, but they're much comfier and give a lot more slack than jeans. They're also good for that last minute getaway because they're still acceptable and formal for going out (unlike track suit bottoms). Lastly if you want to wear shoes, just in case those last minute plans take into effect. Personally I don't wear shoes around the house (most of the time) but if so it has to be something comfortable like the new balance. Slippers are also a good choice but you have to choose carefully.

I hope you enjoyed the post today! Be sure to follow me on social network and look at the style below! Take care 😊

Welcome to my blog!!

Hello everyone! Thank you for taking some time to look at my blog, I'm going to begin with a little introduction of myself. My name is Chandler Waller, I am 18 years old and I will be studying Fashion Marketing in September. I am currently on holiday in Corfu, Greece and will be returning back to Kent, England in a couple of days 😟

I have started this blog to draw attention away from the popular/over rated fashion designers that you would see such as Alexander McQueen, Tom Ford, YSL and more that are commonly featured on fashion blogs. Some of my favourite blogs are MDV style, Tony Stone and recently La Delicadeza, who is a work colleague of mine. I want to share the simple and affordable variations of street style fashion with you to show that not all fashion has to come from famous designers.

In Corfu, I have made a few purchases and intend to do so again in the last couple of days. Most of my purchases have resulted to the accessories which help finalise the perfect style. Here you can see my new purchases of a headband and necklace which will be noted below. I have come across a hand made jewellers by the name of AGAS and I have to say that he has the most beautiful selection of jewellery. Whilst avoiding the dodgy markets filled with fake Rolex watches and Ralph Lauren polos, I managed to find some stylish affordable accessories.

Featured in today's post I have started off with a peach, orange and green headband which is great for going for a casual look without having to do your hair. Next is the necklace handmade from olive wood, which is a great accessory especially for summer and something to suit almost every street style outfit. The purple T-shirt helps bring a little more colour to this style and while it still presents a simple look for your style. The peach shorts are a bargain! Absolutely perfect for you guys that are catching a tan, well maybe not in England 😎 finally the new balance are a prefect addition to all styles, whilst being extremely comfortable, I promise you that the 574s will be a great addition to your wardrobe. I hope you enjoy the style featured below and be sure to check back soon! ☺️
