Each month I am going to do a post about what I have bought, whether it be a full outfit or just a a couple of accessories. 

This haul is a full outfit from head to toe, cap to shoes. The colouring is mainly white, beige and black as it suits my skin tone pretty well. Pastels don't work so well for me, I like to keep it simple. Most of the garments are from H&M but few others aren't. I'm going to show each garment explain why I bought it, price etc and then will put three outfits together using the garments. Simple. 

I have been on the hunt for a really nice hat for while now. I was thinking of buying just a plain black one from Asos but felt that was a bit too boring. Then a few spotted my eye, like the black converse ones knocking about in Topman but at £20 I felt that was a bit too expensive for just a black cap. Then I thought out a NY one....but then I realised I'm not Turtle from Entourage. Still searching and searching I came across Luca Fresko (link to his Youtube) and his ridiculous leather cap and now I didn't just want a black cap I wanted a leather black cap. Let me tell you something, it is really hard to find a black leather cap for a good price. I went to all the vintage stores in my area and online but couldn't find one. Then one day I'm searching for some hauls in TKMaxx and boom out of no where I find this wool/cotton blend hat with ear protectors....yea god dam ear protectors. 

I snagged this little beauty for £10. The best bit though, yea there is more, I thought I would check out who it was made by (Wigens), as I am always intrigued to find RRPs when I buy from TKMaxx. This little joy of wonder is worth $128 roughly £85. Cherchinng. 

It wasn't the price to attracted it to me though I really like this hat because of the padding inside. It means it will always keep its shape and not flatten. Plus the material is a wool, cashmere and other natural fibres making it wind and rain proof. Perfect for the British Winter, Autumn......Spring...........and Summer.

Caps are going to be pretty essential this Winter season and going in to the SS16 I feel we will see them a lot on the runways. Ralph Lauren, Gucci and Prada typically love a good cap. If you are going to buy one don't skimp out make sure it fits well and the material is durable, keep it to a solid colour typically Black, Navy or even White. I mean unless you are a certified roadmap then grab a couple Northys.

Okay so it's not an actual knock off A.P.C its just a long beige light weight top from H&M but look at it, it could easily be A.P.C or Acne. I bought it in store for, I think £15.99 (I cant find a link sorry) but since buying this I have not stopped wearing it. It works with literally everything. I wear it with shorts or skinnies could even throw it on under a suit for a casual drinks/dinner. It has a real Parisian skater feel to it which I love and the fit is perfect its just hangs nicely off my slender frame. 

You need to always buy three new tees a month. Tees loose shape so easily and stop looking good. This month Im going black, white and beige mainly because thats the colours I'm wearing most and they are all very versatile colours. But you should always have a navy and grey t-shirt in your cache, always. 

Feeling as though my t-shirt collection was running a little dry, I thought I better pick up a few new ones. Now normally I just go for basics from the likes of Uniqlo, Zara or Topman depending on my style of the month and the fit I want. I went a bit different this month and headed to H&M just to take a quick peak as they can't do wrong at the moment and I was right. Their basic range of tees are perfect. I picked up these three for £4.99 each. The fits are really nice, I actually went down a size this time, I normally buy large tees for the hang but feel at the moment more fitted tees are they way forward. I will tell you why. Currently I wear loose tapered trousers (like look fitting suit pants) so a longer flowing tee goes really well but when I stick the skinnies and chelsea boots back on an oversize tee for my frame looks silly. My legs are too skinny. So buying a better fitted tshirt gives me the options of the bottoms I can wear as these tees looks great with both skinnies and loose tapered pants. Highly recommended.

For the last few months now I've been experimenting with different trousers as all I seem to wear is black skinnies. So I dug out some old chinos and tried those on and rolled up the bottoms but nothing really suited that well. I've always loved tapered Levis but never really thought I could pull them off and I didn't want another pair of jeans. Then I stumbled across the holy grail of trousers. I was walking through the London H&M and saw a mannequin wearing a overside jumper, hat, backpack, trainers and THESE trousers. They are the most comfortable thing in the world. I can wear them out to the office, a night our or even just to lounge about in. The are like a jogger/pant blend and probably the best pair of pants I have ever owned. So versatile. Very similar to these (can't find the exact ones, again sorry). H&M currently stock loads like these check out their online trend section here, its fantastic and cheap. (Pants shown in pics below, couldn't take a good one due to poor lighting)

These were again very iffy buy for me but glad I did. The shoes are from the Garment Project. The specialise in simple, sleek designs that are very on trend at the moment. I would say that these between a sneaker and a shoe, meaning you can easily skateboard in them but they wouldn't look out of place with a suit in a boardroom. 

I'm not a big sneaker head and have worn mine out and about a fair bit and they are still like new. The leather they use is brilliant. I always scuff up my trainers a bit anyway as I find brand spanking new trainers weird. Plus the marble effect of the bottom makes them stand out a lot making them better and trendier than just a normal black leather shoe. I will 100% be buying some more in the near future.

I must admit though I did not get these at full price, TKMaxx came to my savour again and I got these for £30. Garment Project mens shoes start at £115, so a nice steal again. 

Here are three outfits I put together using all the different garments plus a few others added to them. I have pieced together in a sense a summer/spring out fit and two winter/autumn outfits.
