Mens pastel trend


More than likely, spring fashion has two types of trends that bloom up each year ; Floral print and pastel colours. As a fan of both these trends I was more than pleased to realise that these styles have found their way into mens fashion this season just as much as they have  in woman's fashion. For gentleman who perhaps fear the floral prints , then pastel colours for spring is a great alternative. Bold sugary Pastel colours make a great statement for the fresh months of spring . The transition of lighter colours from the dark and heavy winter clothes ( now lurking in the bottoms of the wardrobe) , will also lift your mood into spring. You have to spring clean your wardrobe too !

I have found some of my favourite candy pastel fashion items in the high street stores below. Some of the colours seem really vibrant against the white back drop the items have been photographed with. Click on any of the pictures and it will link you to website.

Bold pastel shirts look great buttoned up to the top with a silver or gold chain necklace on show around the collar. Both blue jeans and cream chinos compliment pastel tops. For a day look, a pastel top with cream chinos rolled up past the ankles and boat shoes give an effortless summer vibe.  I've come to realise that pastel yellow at times can often make your complexion seem  "washed out", however yellow contrasts well against tanned/ darker skin tones.

If there is a trend , designer or store that you would like me to review , feel free to leave a comment.

Male models leaping into 2014


With so many campaigns and adverts out in the fashion world, it may be hard for a male model to stand out against their competition. There are a few faces that I have seen again and again in 2014 , so I have decided to search a little bit deeper into these occurring faces to share with you.

Edward Wilding


Edward wilding, currently ranking in the top 50 male models on models.com has sliced into the fashion-sphere with his killer cheekbones and handsome looks. The 6 foot 3 model is signed to multiple model agencies with his mother agency being from his home town of Manchester, Boss models UK. From Versace campaigns posing alongside Kate moss to Parke and Ronan runways, he is fast becoming popular among designers and within the fashion industry.  With an increasing instagram following , currently at 17k, he shows the world his cheeky and comical aside away from the catwalks and sharp suits.

The photo editorial entitled " Narcissus" for Lab-A4 magazine , ( photographed by Greg Swales and edited by Ryan Davis),  showcases a devilishly handsome Edward expressing some serious fetish vibes that you do not want to miss. The photographs fully convey the tale of "Narcissus" with a high fashion and dark urban edge.

This 22 year old is definitely one to keep your eyes on.

Luke Powell


Signed to models 1 as a new face, Luke has already walked for hunter and exclusively for Burberry. The 21 year old sprung into 2014 by landing a campaign with Topman, with his face smashing onto the shop fronts of Topshop stores in beautiful black and white photography. This blue eyed boy from Rotherham has landed and has left me anticipating his next campaign. His instagram account not only showcases his modelling skills , but that that he's also a killer at taking a selfie!

Daan van der Deen



At the age of 19 Daan has not already walked for the Versace 14 show  but was the shows opening model. With a heavy brow and plump pouty lips it's hard not to look at his features and become envious of his striking masculine look. Cara D may be the queen of the eyebrow for woman's fashion but will Daan be the king of the eyebrow in the male model world ? I can see Daan becoming popular in 2014, definitely one to keep your eye on.
