It was a rare January sunny morning in the North East, so it was great opportunity to go for a stroll in the park. I'm still feeling a bit of a festive hangover, the burgundy sweater (another bargain from Primark) I'm wearing here is the one piece of clothing I wore almost everyday throughout the holidays! Today I wore it with an old denim jacket for that authentic 90's look!

I also had my first chance to try out a new bottle of Bumble and bumble surf spray last week. As you can see from the pics above, it gave a lot of texture and a scrunched look (it was very windy today so that could have aided the wind-swept look!) . I'll be doing a full review and write up of the Surf Spray this week. I really have been impressed with Bumble and bumble, I have also written a review on the Sumo Wax which you can find here.

I can't believe we're a week into 2014 already, and 2013 went by quicker than I could say 'Happy 2013'! I'm not really into the whole New Years resolution thing, but if I was to have one for 2014, it would simply be to actually enjoy the year and take in as much of it as possible before the Christmas songs come on in the shops again! What are your New Years resolutions for 2014?

River Island Navy Duffle Jacket

The cold weather has arrived and I thought I'd equip myself with a new winter jacket, the last winter jacket I bought was a Burberry-esque lumberjack coat nearly 3 years ago! I don't usually shop in River Island but I actually saw this duffle coat on ASOS. Initially I was looking for something a bit more casual like a Parka, but this navy duffle was just too nice to overlook.

The shape of the coat is quite boxy, combine that with the classic duffle look and neutral colour it'll probably stand the test of time well (it'll hopefully serve as my winter coat for another 3 years!). The length of the jacket is a bit longer than I would like but this shouldn't be an issue for most people. There are some nice details, such as the rustic heavy duty toggles, which are in contrast to the subtle quilted stitching found inside the hood. All in all, it strikes a nice balance between casual and formal. As you can see it can be worn quite casually with a simple knitted jumper and jeans for that rustic heritage look, or it can easily be worn with trousers and a smart shirt for a more formal occasion.
