Shorts!!!!

My lovelies,

 I bought the Zara Twill Bermuda shorts in all three colours, much to the raised eyebrow of my financial adviser. She doesn't think I needed to purchase all three pairs.  We have been having some cracking good weather over here in the UK and I believe these will be put to use quite soon. Also when I go on vacation to hotter climates I need to be prepared. 

 I am a UK 8/US 4, in terms of fit on my body these shorts sit low on the hip, cover my entire butt and end on my upper thigh.  They fit flat against my stomach with no paunching, or gapping. The ZARA Twill Bermuda shorts fit well against the bum, are not tight or restrictive and I can easily move about in them. They do not ride up while I am wearing them neither.

Twill is a type of textile weave with a pattern of diagonal parallel ribs. A twill weave is the second basic weave that can be constructed on a simple loom. Twill is a durable fabric commonly used for work clothing, uniforms and upholstery  it is made to endure numerous washing's and still remain intact. Examples of twill fabrics are chino, tweed, gabardine  serge, denim, and drill.

 (If you are purchasing in store I would recommend walking  up and down the entire length of ZARA dressing room, and doing a few squats.) 

The ZARA Twill Bermuda shorts are made from 100% cotton 
and so far I have been very happy with my purchase.

T. M. Lewin White shirt sale

    Last week I tweeted  my favourite shirt makers @tmlewin1898, and insisted that they should have a white shirt sale, since it is spring/summer. They replied that "they will discuss and see if it is feasible."  This morning  bespoke shirt makers since 1898 T. M. Lewin announced that they are having a white shirt sale for 1 week only online. Not only is this white 
shirt sale going on the UK website, but also on their US, AUS and EU websites. 

     As everyone knows the white shirt is an investment piece, a KEY part of any professional wardrobe. Fashionistas  you are not left out, shirts such as the one below can be styled as part of a casual or formal look. A classic white shirt is always stylish. 

     T. M. Lewin shirts are made with the finest quality poplin, are always 100% or 120% cotton (no polyester blends here). The buttons are sewn with 2 threads, to make sure that they hold and do not easily pop off the garment. They iron well, they wear well and they wash very well.

My shirt of choice is the White Plain Poplin Cutaway Fitted shirt 38171. I am now the proud owner of 2 of them.  Head on over to the T.M. Lewin website and check out the white shirt sale along with their other offerings. T. M. Lewin Remember the White shirt sale is only available for 1 week only.
