Weekly Round-Up #4

Clockwise - Nike Free Run 2 c/o Scotts (now on sale), Banana Republic Leather Gloves, "Crest" Jumper c/o Reiss, 13 Guns IPA, ASOS Wooly Hat, Christmas Chocolate Leftovers, Tintin The Calculus Affair.

A new year brings a new Weekly Round-Up, let's call this the "Post-Christmas Edition". I thought I'd take the opportunity to pick out a few essentials from the first week of 2014 (cheating a bit, more like the past two weeks, but who's going to tell?). Here's some things I've been enjoying:

13 Guns IPA - This beer came with its own swing tag stating, "...to try before you die". These lists are always subjective but I thought I'd give it a bash anyway. It was pretty decent, light, very hoppy and smooth. IPAs are generally my favourite type of beer, just incase and beer big wigs are reading...

Reiss Jumper - This has been my absolute favourite jumper all Winter, it's made from felted wool and design-wise it's pretty unusual. It was kindly given to me by the super lovely Steph, when I attended their Press Day back in November. If I was given the chance to design a jumper it would probably turn out a bit like this; a bit of navy here and some oddly placed grey there. Plus it's currently in their Winter sale, if anyone's interested.

Leftover Chocolate - When you receive an email saying, "Do you want loads of free chocolate", there's really only one answer. My buddy (now best buddy of course!) Sally aka The Cafe Cat bunged a load of premium Lindt chocolate in the post just after Xmas. I opted to eat 85% of it, so if anyone comes round for a cuppa you may get one of Sally's special leftovers.

So what's been on your list this past couple of week, was there any interesting presents under your tree?

Weekly Round Up #1

 Clockwise - Carharrt Native Shirt c/o Pavilion Clothing, Levi's 511, Clarks Originals Desert Boots, Tintin Explorers on the Moon, Farah Vintage Jacket, Uniqlo Socks, Northern Goods Co. Key Clip.

Here's a new feature for the blog, a "Weekly Round Up" of all things good. I thought I'd take the opportunity to pick out a few essentials from the week, mostly things I've been wearing, but with a couple added curiosities for good measure. Here's this week's:

Tintin Explorers on the Moon - I'm obsessed with Tintin at the moment, the humor in the comics is just wonderful and the illustrations are very charming too. Ahead of his time, Herge was a genius in my opinion. You can pick usually up a cheap copy on Amazon, go!

Carhartt Native Shirt - This tasty piece was c/o my lead sponsors Pavilion Clothing and it's had a lot of compliments so far. The colours in the Carhartt Native Shirt really work and the material is super soft. It's roomy enough to wear as a layering piece/overshirt style or with a t-shirt and jacket. The fit is quite boxy so it's not for everyone, but suits me just fine. 

Northern Goods Co. Key Clip - A shameless plug but it's a great feeling using something everyday that you've designed yourself. This week I've given my Camo clip a rest, after 8 months of solid use and swapped it for our Kelly Green version.

I'd love to hear of your essentials and curiosities this week, feel free to share them in the comments below!
