I found my new TV Show to watch! The Bold Type, which is on Amazon Prime, and it’s good!
It’s actually not new, it aired in the USA in 2017 on an American network, but we got it in the UK back in February…You may have seen the ads for it on TV. If you like programs like Entourage, Girls, Red Oaks etc. then you may like this. I love shows like this, because it’s all about the characters and their friendships, which is exactly what those other shows are about.
The World Cup is only week’s away, and it’s the first ever appearance for Iceland in the big competition. On the field they’ve got a tough group, having to contend with Argentina, Nigeria and Croatia, and off the field 66 Degrees North has released a capsule collection in time for the tournament.
The collection consists of hoodies, T-shirts, tracksuits, shorts and accessories including hat, bumbag, scarf and bag.
Hey guys!
So since we’re getting into the Summer, I thought I better upgrade my Summer style and add a couple of things. Some of these you’ll have seen before, because I’ve featured them in a little preview, and they’re all from Uniqlo.
I’ve never bought anything from Uniqlo before, but they’ve been on my radar for years. Since they don’t have any shops near me, I’ve had to buy them online. They only seem to sell them on their own site, so it’s never been a huge priority to sign up and get some things.
But I finally have, and this is what I’ve got!
I picked up a linen shirt in blue, white Supima cotton T Shirt in white, and some chinos in a cream colour. Basically a whole outfit, and the cost? Less than £50! I am really happy with the quality of all the items, the fit is good, so here’s the details on each piece.
For film night I decided to check out to see if there was anything good on Amazon Prime, and I happened to see that Logan Lucky was on there, so decided to give it a watch. I kind of knew of the film, I saw previews of this when it came out at the cinema last year and it looked good, so I was happy to give this a watch and see what it was all about.
It’s a comedy heist film, in the same kind of style as Oceans 11 and it’s squeals, and is directed by Steven Soderberg, who was responsible for those films too.
Tommy Hilfiger has released a new capsule collection for the Tommy Jeans brand, bringing yet more 90’s culture and retro style to your wardrobe.
There’s been plenty of Tommy Jeans drops in the past few years, all being a massive success, including Summer 2017 and their 90’s inspired 2016 capsule collection. For this year, the capsule collection is 35 piece strong, and includes everything from T-shirts to sweatshirts, jackets, hoodies, trainers and accessories such hats, bags and everyone’s 90’s favourite accessory, the bumbag.
Filled with red, white and blue, I have put together a few of my favourites in my style edit, which features key pieces from the collection.
Hey!
I have got myself a new jacket for the Spring and Summer! I’ve already written about denim jackets and how I love those for this season, and as much as I do like them, I love a bomber jacket.
They are so easy to wear, comfortable and stylish, and go with anything. When it comes to Spring clothing, a bomber fits the bill. I got this from Jaeger and I really like this one.
A while back I got a Duck and Cover jacket which I do really like, it’s a grey colour which is timeless. I was after another colour which is also timeless, navy, but I think for this style of jacket, the darker colour proves to have a slightly smarter edge, depending on what you wear with it of course.
The World Cup is right around the corner, and I am excited! The manufacturers have released all the current kits for the big event, and Adidas has used retro design in their kits, with the majority being inspired from the 90’s. I featured the 2018 Spain kits on the blog when they were released, and now as many predicted, they’ve re-released some reproductions in addition to the match shirts, under the Adidas Originals label.
It seems kind of odd that Adidas would release some vintage retakes of their original kits in exactly the same year as they’ve released brand new versions of football kits which are inspired from those originals, but there you go. There’s a few different teams which are featured, including a few nations which don’t actually exist any more, in West Germany and the USSR.
Let’s take a look in more detail.
I saw a preview of the Aimé Leon Dore Spring/Summer 18 collection a while back, and it’s made it’s way into the UK, and is available to buy now from stockists.
I’ve not covered much from the brand, and it could be a new one to some of you. In a nutshell, Aimé Leon Dore is a brand which was born in Queens New York and is a premium streetwear label. Key pieces are minimalist and clean in design, something which I’ve really embraced in the past few years. We’ve had a lot of Scandi-style from the European brands which I love, and this is another one from America which has a similar aesthetic to those.
For this season, there’s plenty of pieces which cover the pastel hue of the colour palette, something which I really like. There’s toned down colours, the staple black, white, navy and greys as well as some bright colours which really pop.
Here’s my edit and some of the pieces which caught my eye.
Should I buy clay or wax?
What is hair pomade?

I saw that it was on Amazon Video so I decided that I’d watch it so I could tell people that I’d finally seen it. Yes, I am talking about the film Moonlight. I knew nothing about this film, other than everyone was talking about it, and all that controversy when it won the OCSAR for best picture when it beat La La Land.
So going into the film, I knew nothing about it at all, the plot, the characters or anything. In short, it’s a coming of age film split in 3 parts which is about a boy’s journey through his life, and his struggles. It’s about his sexuality, abuse he gets in his younger years, and dealing with his mother’s drug habit.
