Allen Solly - Solly Sports Wimbledon Collection In Stores

Allen Solly's Solly Sports Wimbledon collection is in stores. We decided to visit the store at Connaught Place, New Delhi to bring some window shopping to your desktop!

The entire store is so colourful with the pieces from the collection. We visited the menswear section and were impressed with how Solly Sport has tied in the Wimbledon theme into casual wear like never before. The colors are bright and summery while the lines and cuts are sharp. 

From t-shirts, polo necks, to the breezy summer jackets, we loved them all.

The collection has something for everyone. There are simple t-shirts with a Wimbledon text or a two toned design. There are polos in summery colors like coral, pale blue, and sea green for the young at heart and polos in deep dark tones for those of you who like to keep it toned down - a bit more sophisticated styling we may say!

Mens Eyewear - John Jacobs

Today I'm writing about John Jacobs - an eyewear brand that I found on lenskart.com. Lenskart is a preferred online purchase website for eyewear due to its sheer ease of use and hence I chose to pick a pair from here for my recent change in eye glasses.

I find the range offered at John Jacobs quite fashionable with a broad range catering to different fashion tastes. From their newly launched slim collection to the existing full frames, rimless as well as semi-rim options, you will find a nice range of spectacle frames to chose from.

The frame I chose is a light weight black plastic frame with silver metal detailing. It has a good feel and the design gives a sophisticated look.

The Perfect Shave With Philips Body Groomer

There is always this debate whether girls like men who are hairy or prefer the bare chest more metropolitan types. Well regardless of what women think, we men like to groom ourselves too. 

I am quickly going to share the details about the Philips Body Groomer which helps trip body hair with precision. The Philips BodyGroom 1000 comes in a box packed with a trimming head, a silicon shower cord, a cleaning brush and a battery.

Price: Rs 1395 (available for Rs 1099 here)

The blades offer bidirectional trimming allowing seamless trim in both directions. There is a trimmer head which you should use on longer hair to first reduce the length so that it is short enough to be used safely with the shaver.

Making Father's Day Special

A father son relationship is always special. Father's take on all challenges to make sure their children are always safe, secure, and happy. This Father's Day I decided to do something different. I tried to capture some candid moments between a father and son. I coaxed my brother to agree to this so that we could have some fun with dad and make him do something he would otherwise never agree to.

So I became the 'candid' photographer of the day and we went clickety-click. My brother has dabbled a bit in the modelling world and was super comfortable with the shots but the fun part was seeing dad  having so much fun. I told him this was for my blog so he agreed as he is always very enthusiastic about everything that I do.

Firstly I chose a pair of shirts and some shoes for both of them. I sourced these from a new brand that has forayed into the world of men's fashion - The G Street. They have super affordable shirts which are stylish and trendy while the fabric is fine cotton that is perfect for summers. The clothes are versatile enough to work for the office going man as well as for the cool dudes partying the night away.

JORD watches came as a real surprise to me - I had never heard of wooden watches before and the entire idea of owning a wooden watch intriguing. I took a look at the watches on www.woodwatches.com and was amazed to see the watches on sale!
