Against the Grain…

Everyone who knows me knows that I like to march to the beat of my own dram. Well… Actually… DANCE to the beat of my own drum! *prances his way through life* Ever since I was a child, I was always doing things differently and expressing myself unlike everyone else. I always felt like I didn’t fit the mould and was often causing trouble than just ‘going with the flow’. Finding my place in Lithuania was almost impossible because if you’re not ‘normal’, then you don’t belong here.

Luckily, after graduating from school, I had the opportunity to move abroad and discover my true potential. The first few years were quite bumpy but after a while, I shaped my personality and became the person that I am today.

Expressive Combination.

A couple of weeks ago, I visited Thomas Sabo flagship store in Mayfair to pick up two men’s bracelets that perfectly match my personality and compliment my current style. I’ve been very impressed with their designs and an extensive selection of bracelet.

For those of you who are not familiar with Thomas Sabo, this men’s jewellery brand is known for their sterling silver men’s bracelets and bangles, which are the perfect must-have accessories to complete both smart and casual outfits.

So, without further ado, here are my top two picks:

MAORI SKULL: This bracelet is a symbol of power and strength. Skull Bead is decorated with patterns inspired by the legendary Maori tattoos. The handcrafted details of the centre bead create an artistic surface structure. It gives the iconic bracelet made of matt, oval beads its special feature. I’ve been wearing this one almost every day since I got it because I feel like it guards me against trouble. *rebels without a cause* Also, I’m a huge fan or large accessories because they make me feel so empowered. So, it’s a must-have accessory for those who look to wear darker tones and bold textures. Think leather jackets, heavy boots and ripped jeans! *already plans his style for autumn*

LITTLE SECRET ANCHOR: This hand-knotted, colourful textile bracelet is ideal for versatile combinable styles. I often wear it with my matt black watch or a chunkier bracelet. *checks out the pictures* Just like the Maori bracelet, it’s also a symbol of power and strength. All thanks to the anchor pendant. Therefore, this little anchor bracelet is perfect for those who are looking for a lightweight hand accessory.

Key moments…

July is one of the most significant months of my existence. From graduating high school, college and university to starting my life in Norfolk and London, July has always been that time of the year when life-changing moments unfold.

I find it hard to believe the fact that I’ve already spent a third of my life living in the United Kingdom. *yikes* It feels like it was yesterday when this pure innocent soul was packing his bags and taking his one-way flight to a better (more promising) future… AND guess what, I’m still here living the life I’ve always dreamed of. It all seems so surreal when I’m thinking about it now! *damn*

This month, I’m celebrating another key moment in my life. It was my first time being on a cruise and first time visiting 5 cities ( and3 countries) in 7 days. *globe trotter alert* Also, it was my first time visiting Italy. *I can’t believe it myself* Therefore, I’m dying to see more of the land of pizza. Who wants to join me?! *travel buddy application is now open*

Category is… Summer Daze!

Several weeks ago, I was so stoked to partner with Jacamo because they’re all about living in the moment, in all shapes and sizes. *hashtag live YOUR moment* So, if you haven’t popped onto their awesome website yet – you’re missing out big time. They’ve just added so many new pieces to their store, so you should definitely check these guys out!

Today, I’m wearing Dr Marten’s 8 Eye Lace Up Boots, paired with J By Jasper’s revere collar shirt and Jacamo’s own stone linen trousers. This overall look is serving you some chilled vibes, perfect for a Sunday stroll in town or catching up with friends for brunch. You’ll most definitely see me sporting these lace-up boots everywhere! *sorry not sorry*

Mennace for days!

Denim has always been a core item in my ever-expanding wardrobe. I always get a few pairs of jeans for every season because they are just so darn comfortable! *lives his best denim fantasy*

The other day, I popped into Mennace to stock up on some of my favourites for the summer. I snatched a pair of straight cropped jeans with a side stripe and complimented it with an orange tee and leather gladiator sandals. These cropped jeans have the perfect amount of stretch, which will fit you like a glove. Therefore, the overall look is great for a chilled Saturday afternoon, filled with bottomless prosecco and cakes because why not! *no regrets*

Oh, and in case you were wondering, I shot this look at Crossrail Place Roof Garden in Canary Wharf. Ed and I were celebrating the Royal Wedding with the royal afternoon tea by the docks. I mean… you can’t get any fancier than that!

So, what do you think of this look? Would you get any of these items from Mennace? Let me know in the comments section below!
