Well, thankfully Pearl is back with an entire new collection for Spring/Summer 2010 - here is a nice Polyvore set featuring the range, which is available to buy online and in-store at Peacocks.

Funny T-Shirts

My New Six Pack

If there is one thing I enjoy about shopping and to be honest probably the only thing then it's finding comical t-shirts. Since I'm not exactly Gok Wan when it comes to shopping I tend to go for the cheesy funny tops.

I found this one on the peacocks website it's exactly what I go looking for and probably the closest I'll ever get to having a six pack! What do you think of it? Lets face it for a fiver you can't go wrong!

The "Hoody"

I know the reputation the “hoody” has these days but surely that can’t stop people from wearing them because there associated with young people in British gangs to be honest I think the publicity it gets from this is a bit harsh.

For instance men’s hoodies can be fashionable and either worn for sports, casual or fashionable purposes like the one pictured below, so is it right to slag it off so much and distance ourselves from wearing because the youngsters or Britain have chosen it as a mark of their gang or whatever.

let me know what you think on this matter and if it is right to label it a gangs top or wither you yourself like wearing hoodys and get stick for it.

Bargain on Fashion Jeans

Cheap Trendy Jeans

Most guys out there probably have the same probably as me when it comes to shopping. You go out looking for some men’s jeans and they cost an absolute fortune, for a decent pair in a designer shop your talking at least £100 and in some shops that’s CHEAP!

Usually I go for the trendy ripped looking jeans and when I decided to try different stores I came across this bargain (pictured below) £20 for a pair of jeans that look the same as ones you buy in River Island or Hugo Boss. I don’t know about you but next time I know where I’ll be heading first.

Skinny Jeans Stronger Than Ever

One thing that’s hot in the fashion market just now is skinny jeans. With most of us (myself included) owning a few pairs of these jeans it’s no wonder most high street chains have them hung up all over their shelves just waiting for you to pick them up.

Chances are next time you’re out shopping every second shop you pass will have these on sale. With places like Diesel, River Island, Peacocks and Primark all selling them at speed. Prices can range from £10 all the way up to £300 so the options there for you whether you’re a bargain hunter or a “spendaholic”.

The revival of skinny jeans was probably mostly down to come back of rock bands and lots more celebrity’s slipping on the skinny jeans. Celebs like Madonna, Victoria Beckham and the likes of Cheryl Cole have all been spotted with these must have fashionable jeans so it’s no wonder most shoppers are jumping at the chance to jump on the band wagon.

Five Very Cool Fashion Websites In Our Opinion

Initially, when we had the idea for this post we thought that it would be relatively easy to find a whole bunch of shoes websites that were really cool - sadly, we couldn't have been more wrong - the whole thing has proved rather difficult.

What we have discovered is that many of the top names in shoes actually have very poor websites. We are no experts on web design ourselves but many of them (including Prada and Gucci) have sites that are very hard to decipher. There doesnt actually appear to be any purpose to these sites except to publish pictures of models - you can get stockist information (this can be rather irrelevant sometimes for those of us in the UK), browse the current collection (but not buy) and the like - however, much of the time you actually have to guess what to click!

Anyway, moaning aside there are some shoe websites which are excellent. Here are five of our favourites:

Dr Martens

Good old Doc Martens - this is how you do it. Simple, easy to follow navigation - and the entire collection available to buy online - very cool.


Birkenstock

Perhaps not the most aesthetially pleasing website, but practical and comprehensive nonetheless. Birkenstock sandals and shoes are a great quality option - we would have no hesitation buying from the website.



Office

Office Shoes have a wide range of shoes from many different brands. A nice, easy to use website.



Camper

We like the use of imagery on the Camper website.



Swear London

If you're looking for some cutting edge styles then check out Swear London - the website is pretty sharp too!



If you have any fave shoe websites then please let us know - cheers!

Sales, Sales, Sales

How is everyone fairing in the January clothes sales?

Is there any store in particular that would be worth a visit!?
