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! 

What do you think?

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?

He Wears, She Wears

Little Winter

 Katy and Matt

Shortlisted as "Best blogging duo" in the Company Magazine #stylebloggerawards

Blog 

He Wears: Polo shirt - Ark Clothing, jeans - Topman and boots - Matalan

She Wears: Crop top  and skirt - Ark Clothing and pumps - Primark

This week is the first week that He Wears, She Wears has featured a guy! Yay! Hopefully this will inspire others (*cough* Aaron *cough)* to get involved with the feature too, so thank you Matt!

I can't quite remember how I found Katy's blog, but all I know is that I've been an avid reader ever since. Katy's feminine and playful sense of style is perfectly met with her intimate snaps of her home decor and life. After joining forces with her boyfriend, Matt, Little Winter was born. It provides the perfect platform for a blogging duo, featuring snaps of both Katy and Matt and their daily life.  Oh, and don't forget the rest of the Little Winter family, Little Schmidt and Little Runkle ;)

It's truly lovely to feature Little Winter on my blog and I hope you enjoy seeing them here as much me. Fans of Little Winter will recognise this picture from their blog. I particularly like this picture as I adore Katy's outfit. It's not only feminine and delicate but also fun, with the added pumps. As for Matt, the bird print pattern on trend and even compliments Katy's dot skirt. Blaadyyy gorgeous!

Q&A with Katy

How would you describe your style?

I'm a simple dresser but a sucker for a bit of print! I prefer to keep things easy by sticking on a dress with a collar and teaming them with boots. You can guarantee that's what I'm wearing most days! I'd say Matt's the same too, pairing a good pair of jeans with a smart shirt or casual tee. At least we don't argue over who's wearing what...!

What are your staple items that will never leave your wardrobe?

Most definitely a smock dress and my favorite cowboy boots! And actually, since buying my first pair of jeans two months ago, I secretly think I can't live without them now...! As for Matt, he reckons that he can't live without his denim shirt and beanie. It's the little things for us.

What's your favourite trend right now?

Monochrome! I think that it's so easy to do, and can look so flawless. Plus every girl owns a few too many LBDs!

Jesse Wears

Good afternoon! I hope you're all enjoying the wonderful sunshine today. It's a Sunday which means it's a Jesse Wears day. This week we've put the umbrella away and are back out in the garden. We did try and get the puppy involved once more but she was having none of it! She would clearly much rather chill in the sun than have her photo taken. Anyway, Jesse's outfit this week is quite a chilled one seen as he's having a relaxing Sunday with my mother. He picked his check shorts, grey hooded top and neon flip flops for his outfit because they're nice and laid back and perfect for a bit of a play day. I have to say, I'm not usually a fan of flip flops but I think the neon rescues them a bit here ;) As always, he loved his time in front of my camera. I'm not sure many people know but Jesse actually used to take all the pictures of me for my blog so he's quite a talented little guy.

how are you spending your sunny Sunday?
