Jesse Wears: Matalan Blog!

If you read Matalan's blog last week then they you may have noticed a certain person and her little brother? A few weeks ago, I was asked by Matalan whether Jesse would be up for doing a special guest post for their blog! Obviously, he jumped a the chance of a shopping spree and having his photo taken and so on July 11, our little post was published! 

Jesse was so excited to see his face and pictures on their website and has been telling all his friends in school that he's "famous"! ha. 

It was lovely to be able to work with Matalan on this and also great to see that people have started to notice our little "Jesse Wears" feature. 

For the post, we decided to focus on holiday clothes seen as Jesse is going away in 2 weeks. We headed to our local store along with my bf, Aaron, and picked out some t-shirts, shorts and shoes that Jesse could try on. Clearly looking for Aaron's approval on some items, Jesse proudly marched out of the changing room to show him every single outfit selection! 

You can catch the blog post here. Do you guys like Jesse's picks?


The little one is already asking who he is going to model for next, asking me whether we should email Littlewoods as they apparently have "really cool kids" in there! 

I'm going to show you some of the many pictures that we took next week here on the blog.

Jesse Wears

Sorry for the lack of Jesse Wears last week, for some reason blogger wouldn't let me upload his pictures. It's actually worked out pretty good though as this weekend is a complete washout and we were lucky to grab some evening sunshine last Sunday. 

For weeks I've been trying to get Jesse to pick some new trainers. It's a tough task for an 8 year old apparently. They have to be suitable for school, play time and parties (that's what Jesse said). However, the search finally came to an end when we spotted these in Matalan last week. They're leather high tops with a touch of red. Super on trend and really cool. Jesse loves them!

Jesse Wears!

Y'know, Jesse was a very lucky little kid a few years back when he was very sick. You'd never think that now would you? He's full of life and definitely keeps me on my toes (he moaned at the me the other day because I said I was too old to wrestle an 8 year old. I mean Jesse obv, not a random child). Not only is he constantly full of beans, which I've recently found out apparently over flow when you feed him skittles, but he's also the sweetest little guy I know. I think that's what makes it such a joy to photograph him every week. We've had so many people compliment this feature so thank you every one for taking the time to look through the photos. It means a lot and believe me, it really does make Jesse smile when he sees how many people read it! 

This week, we're posting a little later as he was out on a bike ride with my dad, but I think it worked out great because the sun is perfect in these photographs. My boyfriend, Aaron, was on hand this week to keep him smiling throughout the shoot! The photos always turn out better when you tell Jesse jokes! haha.

Jesse Wears

Welcome to another Jesse Wears post! The sun is still shining so we were able to take over the garden once more! This week, I was contacted by someone who loves Jesse Wears and we'll be working on a another project very soon! I'm not saying too much just yet.

 Jesse picked out one of his tees that my mother bought him for their holiday in July for this post. He loved this Matalan tshirt because he's spotted similar in Topman while shopping with my brother so he feels rather grown up! (cute)

He's becoming quite the little diva when it comes to these posts - making sure his hair is right before we start and even directing me when I'm taking the photos! I'm only joking about the diva bit really - he's a little sweetheart. 

He'd just come back from a bike ride with my dad so we thought we'd get some pics with it. I love this little outfit. Bright, playful and very on trend. It's official, my little brother is cooler than me. 

What do you guys think?
