Last month myself and Yang brought you two new lookbook’s from Zara and now I bring you another. This one entitled ‘The Mood’ showcases more of the 2011 Autumn/Winter offering. I already know that Yin is gonna be salivating all over these pics because Zara have catered so nicely to his desire for a tailored, refined, sophisticated yet age appropriate aesthetic. I’m loving whats on display, have a gander and let me know what you think.

A few days ago Yin posted the lookbook for the Collection of Style better known as COS, 2011 Autumn/Winter Collection however I came across some alternate photo’s that actually showcase the collection in its full glory. Peep the fresh new set of pics after the break and start making a list of what pieces you’ll be purchasing. For me, I think i’d only be interested in one of their blazers, what do you guys think of the collection?

The boy from East London to the man drinking afternoon tea in Mayfair. What a picture of growth right? Haha no. I was just there for a special day, an one-off thing with my other half as it was our one year. You know how I do? had to go all out, take the day off and spend some quality time conversating (tweeting/instagram’ing our cheesyness) over some fancy tea and cakes. It came to around £70 in total which in all fairness isn’t too bad if you think about Mayfair prices. All those cakes and unlimited tea was most definitely filling and to think we had dinner straight after that is crazy. I do recommend it guys, take your lady out and make her feel appreciated. Especially on a special occasion, it’s fancy pancy but once in a while it doesn’t hurt to break the bank. More on the reverse.

Do I miss it? No, certainly not. Did I love it? Kind of, first year was the dog’s bollocks. Especially if you’re of Asian origin, experiencing the freedom from not being under your parent’s roof is one of the best things ever! Independence will push you to grow and change, hopefully for the better if you’ve been brought up with a good set of morals. Although I’m not going to be going back to university, I thought I’d pass on MY advice and opinion for those who are returning/beginning this stage of their life. More on the reverse.

This post should have been up a month ago, I received the product around then but have seriously procrastinated and been incredibly busy. Mine and Yang‘s schedules clash, the only time we’d have time to do the shoot are evenings but usually we’re DEAD by that point. So today, we actually decided to meet at 6 on the dot outside my work and get not one but 2 shoots done. 6 hours later, the photographs have been edited and posts have been written + published. That’s how we do, if only we were able to do this everyday. Trust me, original content is getting a big push when the new site is up. This post features a pair of glasses, it would have been a review post but there is near to nothing information on the brand Freccione. Gosh such an elusive Italian brand, Google gives me nada.

Before we start, I recommend you read my post from last year –  click here. Adulthood has slapped me straight in the face in the last 2 months. I believed last year was my coming of age, quite funny how wrong I was. I feel I’ve grown up a lot since then, clearly changed my perception of the world and direction. My outlook on life is a hell of a lot different. Goals? Still the same. More on the reverse.

Graduation

posted in yin&yang by Yin

This week has been so blessed, too blessed to be stressed by work. Started off hectic with 2 of my senior colleagues leaving to go on holiday so I’m doing a lot more work a very important account. Thursday marked the end of the best eras of my life yet – university. I was quite apprehensive about spending £250+ on the actual ceremony; tickets, suit and photograph. It was definitely worth it.
