Hi guys!

So recently I have teamed up with LG in an exciting new project. We’ve just seen the back of London Fashion Week, and LG has created an eBook which I am glad to say I am part of. The task was to create three outfits for three different occasions, and go into how I usually care for the fashion pieces I’ve picked. The occasions were a sporty style, smart look and a cosy-casual look, which incorporate a wide range of different clothing and fabrics.

Getting the laundry right with your clothing is important, it’s something which I’ve taken more seriously over the years where I’ve bought more expensive items, or just clothing I really love which I want to last.

Smart Look

For my smart look I went for a blazer jacket from Minimum in grey, black selvedge jeans from Nudie Jeans and a black shirt from Eton. The outfit was finished off with black derby shoes by Kurt Geiger. I love this look, it works really well for a night out and the dark blacks of the jeans and shirt are brought out by the slightly lighter grey jacket. The blazer is 100% wool and needs to be dry cleaned, if there are any small marks these can be spot cleaned to keep the jacket looking it’s best. You shouldn’t wash jeans very often, every 6 months should be fine, and can be aired out to keep fresh.

Sporty Look

If you read my blog a lot and follow me on Instagram, you’ll know that I go out running a fair bit. I love running in the summer, and last year I went out for a run pretty much every day, I still go out in the winter if the weather isn’t too bad, but not as much. Obviously I have to wrap up more, and you’ll find me in a hooded sweatshirt and pair of tracksuit bottoms. Both of these need to be washed a fair bit, luckily they are made from cotton and polyester, so are perfectly safe to put into the washing machine.

Cosy-Casual

It’s still cold, so cosy casual fashion is still a good thing to keep in your wardrobe. I have gone for one of my favourite jumpers, a 100% cashmere knit from Jaeger in red, along with a pair of soft chinos from Mango in a sandy/beige colour which compliments the jumper well. It’s just for just having a film night or relaxing watching TV or listening to music. The chinos are pretty easy to keep clean, washing them in the machine. The cashmere knit is the tricky one, and needs to be hand-washed and then dried flat to maintain it’s quality and integrity.

LG eBook

Check out the LG eBook with some helpful hints on how to keep your fashion looking it’s best, which features a couple of the UK’s favourite fashion bloggers, including Michael 84 of course 😉

For one of the most anticipated films of the year, Batman V Superman Dawn Of Justice, Police Watches have partnered with Clark Kent and Bruce Wayne, and created two limited edition watches in time for the release of the film, which is due in cinemas on 25th March 2016.

The timepieces come in two different variations, with a strictly limited run on production to make these watches extra special. Only 2,400 will be produced worldwide of each model, making these a truly must have pieces of memorabilia for any Superman or Batman fan. These won’t just appeal to the hardcore fans either, the watches are stylish and would feel home on the wrist of anyone. The cases come in either a robust blue or black stainless steal, and feature the official Batman V Superman logo with infamous Police branding throughout.

The Superman variation features distinctive navy and red colour in the design, with the Batman version being black and bronze. Both are nice, but in terms of style I prefer the Batman black version, I love the subtle styling and the way the colours are brought together it keeps the design simple which is something I really like. Features on the face include a date dial, dual time and both are 5ATM.

The watches are beautifully showcased and come in their own presentation box, along with a unique certificate of authenticity, and will be available at Watch Shop, H Samuel, Debenhams and Menkind and selected independent jewellers. The good news is that the watches will be available from 1st March, which means you can grab yourself one (if you’re lucky) in time to wear on the night of the film’s release. If that’s not enough, purchases in March will include a complimentary pair of Odeon tickets to go and see the film!

Police Watches are also giving you the chance to win UK premiere tickets to the red carpet launch of the film, which is a truly unique prize, you can find out more about that on the official Police Watches UK Facebook channel here.
