Today I'm totally loving... AllSaints!

I never usually dedicate a Today I'm Loving to one particular brand/shop, but I thought today would be a good day to spread the AllSaints love after all, they have honed a relaxed cum casual cum uber-cool style that many other brands are emulating now. The best is obviously the original though, so take a look, and start updating your winter wardrobe the AllSaints way now!

Rest assured though, there WILL be a normal high street Today I'm Loving coming soon too!

FOR THE BOYS:

Fierce black biker jacket - a winter essential! £350; cozy and slouchy, just how I like a cardi! £80

Loving this heavy hooded shirt, £85; and these amazing men's leather boots, £165

FOR THE GIRLS:

No, it's not Westwood before you ask, it's a rather amaze asymmetric dress, £95; get the vintage look with this super-cool knit, £95


How OMGorgeous are these architectural wonder wedges? £185; embrace layering with this double layered-look cardi, SUPER comfi and versatile colours - yum, £75

Tailor Made

When did we ever see Frank Sinatra out of a suit? Never. I can't remember ever seeing footage of him not dressed up to the nines. That's the way it was in the 50s. Men dressed up. They looked smart, sharp and as if they'd stepped out of a Savile Row shop practically all the time. A fabulously cut blazer, freshly pressed trousers and a slick back hair do - and that was just to pop to Tesco (I've done my research people, Tesco was founded in 1919). Even in high summer it was still all about looking polished - a pair of crisp shorts and a short sleeve shirt on the beach. You can't beat it!

Taken from a 50s magazine - showing typical day wear!

Yes gentlemen, the 1950s was dominated by tailoring. Impressive, Sinatra-cum-Godfather, good old fashioned tailoring. And now in 2010, as we head into spring/summer (hopefully!), it's all back again. The high street is FULL to the rafters with amazing tailored hot buys so there is absolutely NO excuse not to look ultra smart and uber chic. Here are some bits I've found, there might be a splash of designer too...oops! Couldn't help meself.
