Bluelab at Donna Ida

Working as a blog editor means that you need to attend a lott of blogger events and it can often be somewhat of a chore deciding what to wear - especially given the current weather conditions! However full your wardrobe might be, there are days when no matter how many different outfits you try, nothing seems quite right. So here at The Amazing Blog, we were amazed when we discovered the Bleulab’s latest creation at Donna Ida. Launched in the UK exclusively with Donna Ida for Spring Summer, the two way jeans are designed to have one side for daytime and one for evening. So if you're stuck in front of a pile of old outfits you now have the opportunity to invest in a pair of jeans that offer two looks for the price of one. Our favourite ones are the coated skinny in Café on one side and Snake on the other - perfect for the daytime to drinks dilema. They are also fabulous for travelling!

The prices range from £275-£325 and the Spring Summer 2012 Collection is stocked online and is also available instore.

Winter Jeans from Angels & Men

 

As the days pass, I seem to find myself shivering more and more. Grabbing an extra jumper for the day is becoming a must with the chilling temperature. Unfortunately, the cold bite isn’t letting up anytime soon. Preparation for winter must commence and much to my dismay, I have to start thinking what wardrobe pieces are really not going to work in the snowy days. However, one piece that can stick through the frosty winter months is the new Angels & Men Jeans.

Angels & Men has brought to the UK the first ever fashionable thermal jeans this winter. The jeans are a combination of trendy cuts and washes with a soft fleece lining to create the first range of fashion thermal lined jeans. What an easy way to be stylish and warm this winter!

The first collection carries two different cuts, Straight cut and Boot cut, and each in two different washes, a dark wash in blue black and a worn wash which has a lightning bleach effect to look slightly used.

Like anyone, it is easy to doubt that a jean, which looks exactly like regular jeans, would truly be warmer. Thankfully, it’s true! The jeans use a Duothermalate fleece fabric so it retains heat yet is still breathable. So after you step inside after a chilly walk home from work, you won’t be dying to change to some pyjama pants.

You can buy Angels & Men jeans on their website or at various boutiques and outlets throughout the UK.  So don’t waste another second wearing summer jeans in winter weather. Grab a pair of Angel’s & Men jeans and be prepared this winter!

The perfect discounted fix

There is quite a significant fashion contingent in our little corner of Chelsea. With Kate Middleton’s (soon to be Princess Catherine don’tcha know) fave designer Issa’s UK head offices just around the corner. Then there are the renowned Claret Showrooms and of course the headquarters of brilliant British denim brand MiH Jeans.

All of this makes for some pretty fantastic samples sales right on our doorstep and when I spotted Katie rushing out of the office this lunchtime I could sense something was afoot. When questioned she guiltily admitted that she was just planning to pop in to the MiH sample sale to ‘have a look’. Now we all know when women and discounted designer fashion come into contact ‘looking’ usually turns into ‘buying’, so I wasn’t at all surprised when she reappeared 45 minutes later clutching a bag. Katie has reported back that there is lots of stock in a wide range of sizes, perfect for those of us who can’t squeeze into the teeny sizes that are usually left at sample sales.

So what are you waiting for? If cult label jeans are your guilty pleasure, this is the perfect discounted fix.

MiH sample sale runs today until 8pm, continues tomorrow 10am – 8pm
