The Monday Piece - Guide London

This week's Monday Piece is on Guide London, a menswear brand specialising in formal and casual shirts. Guide London kindly sent my boyfrend, Glyndwr, one of their new season shirts to wear, so I'll hand it over to him to say a few words on the shirt! "I chose the shirt because I thought the pastel colours were nice and summery and with wedding season coming up, probably made the most appeal to a wider audience. The fabric was very soft and comfortable and kept me very cool. It has a button down collar which is a must have for me, but manages to stay casual, even though it has a smart formal look to it. The colours are great and would definitely compliment all styles." I think Glyndwr looks great and I'm a big fan of the shirt  - I love classic tailoring so the smart fit and neutral pastels are fab. Guide have a large selection of styles, colours and sizes so we definitely recommend it to all chaps out there looking to add to their shirt collection!

#DESTINATIONUNKNOWN BANK Fashion

BANK Fashion are celebrating festival season by launching an insane competition #DESTINATIONUNKNOWN  - they are giving away a Summer full of fun and adventure to one winner! The winner will get the opportunity to be BANK's festival insider, travelling to three unknown destinations across Europe with their best buddie, blogging about the experience - how awesome is that? I love music, festival fashion and taking photos but have never been to a 'big' festival before, so an opportunity like this would be extremely exciting and crazy!

BANK have a whole load of sassy new season stock, so i've featured below some key pieces from the website for both girls and guys that are spot on for festival season. The girls set features a cosmic bandeau top - worn with some little crochet shorts this would be super cute - some round sunglasses that are always a festival winner, chunky Dr. Martens boots are ideal whatever the weather (also they're half price), and a bumbag is essential to keep your phone and money safe! The boys set includes a textured rucksack, fresh pants and socks (because boys are dirty and smell), wayfarer sunglasses and a Superdry wallet - plus i've added sweeties to both as they're the best food for emergency energy, fact.

I've also added a selection of practical festival items - a tent and sleeping bag being the most important, the little tent booties i couldn't resist because they look so comfy and cute! A torch is essential too as getting lost in a sea of tents after hours of partying wouldn't be too good - plus the festival toiletries like wet wipes, deodorant and sun cream are necessary to stay clean and protected. And finally, a snazzy camera is a must, so you can photograph the amazing experience and fun times!
If you're heading to festivals this year i recommend checking out BANK for their huge selection of colourful, festival clothing and accessories - i've got my eye on the chiffon kimonos, runner style shorts and boho pieces, a la Vanessa Hudgens - the ultimate festival goddess!
