    Sort your jeans with Eto Jeans

    How many pairs of jeans would you say the average man owns? I’m guessing that the number would run into double figures for most men, although many polls say that you really only need to own four pairs in a couple of different styles and colours. I’m not sure about that, I think jeans are one of those clothing items that people tend to find a style and stick to it, but then buy it in triplicate, but these days there are so many great designs, in a range of colours that exceed blue, black and (shudders) white. You might just be limiting your wardrobe just a little too much…

    Trilogy at John Lewis Birmingham

    Last month I wrote about my evening spent with John Lewis Birmingham, finding out about the Loved and Found department that is such an amazing addition to the John Lewis brand.

Trilogy promises to find you the perfect pair of jeans within three tries, hence the name, and I can honestly say  they found mine on the first attempt, along with some great pieces to ensure that opting for denim is no longer just a casual, dressed…

    Packing for an Easter break

    We finally break up for Easter tomorrow, and the following day, we are heading for a welcome Easter break in beautiful Wales. It is a trip that will be dominated with the great outdoors, be it the hills and mountains of Snowdonia, or the beaches of Barmouth and Aberdovey. I am totally looking forward to it, but with the weather currently so changeable (we had hail yesterday for goodness sake) what to pack is a little tricky. The weather forecasts are suggesting that light rain showers will be occurring throughout the weekend, and so I’m guessing that I will be living in jeans. Luckily I have some great new jeans…

    Reviewed – F&F Bum and Tum jeans

    I have a problem with jeans. I can never find a pair of jeans that fit me properly. I often put this down to being in between sizes and so having to go a size up in order to get the jeans to fit on the waist. But I then find that the jeans seem to be falling down all the time, and hence I spend the day hitching them up again, even when wearing a belt. As a consequence, I think jeans are possibly my least favourite item of clothing. So when F&F launched a new collection of limited edition shapewear jeans, called the ‘Bum and Tum’ collection, I…
