5 Ways for Men to Dress Slimmer

Larger guys can easily give the impression of being much thinner than they are, simply by wearing certain clothes.

And the Jacamo plus size mens clothing range has plenty of items to choose from that will result in a genuinely slimming effect.

  Here are 5 tips to help you choose the right Jacamo plus size mens clothing.

1.       Stripes

There is a golden rule with wearing stripes... Horizontal: No. Vertical: Yes.

Vertical stripes will make your silhouette look longer and slimmer.

Horizontal stripes, however, will have the opposite effect and make anyone look larger than they are...

2.       Jackets

A single-breasted jacket will make you look far slimmer than a double-breasted one; this is because people’s eyes will automatically focus on the centre point.

Also, try to avoid jackets or blazers that are double-vented as this will draw unnecessary attention to your bottom!

3.       Sizes

NEVER try and squeeze into a size that is too small!

Wearing clothing that is overly tight will look terrible and you will feel very self-conscious.

4.       Belts

Belts are a very important accessory!

You should always wear one as it will hold your waistline and ensure that your trousers hang correctly!

5.       Colours

Wearing contrasting colours will immediately draw attention to the joins between your clothes, i.e. your stomach... 

Stick to shades that are more similar to one another.

Wishlist: Shoes

A girl cant have enought shoes right? I love shoes, been looking at alot of different styles lately.
Planning on buying myself some new shoes for fall/winter.

Its going to be hard to choose, because i have seen so many pairs that i like.
Here are a few shoes that i really want.


Im going to get these in black. I love these, they look really confortable to walk in because the heel is so thick.


I adore these grey pumps, aren't they cute?
I also want black, royal blue and navy blue ones :)


These wedges are so cool, i love how they look. I dont own a pair of wedges so

Jewelry: Bracelets

When i was cleaning out my "old room", i found these bracelets that i bought a while ago.
I have been living in a total mess haha, but now im going to organize everything so i know where everything is.

I found these bracelets in a store called Nille here in Norway. They have alot of cute things in that store. They had alot of colors to choose from, but i decided to get the purple and the blue one. The blue one is my favorite, its such a pretty color.






I love jewerly, I paid $5 for each of these.

Im looking for a good way to store my rings and bracelets and i need some tips.
How do you store your rings, bracelets and jewerly? :)

Puma Shoes

Puma AG Rudolf Dassler Sport, officially branded as PUMA, is a major German multinational company that produces high-end athletic shoes, lifestyle footwear and other sportswear. Formed in 1924 as Gebrüder Dassler Schuhfabrik by Adolf and Rudolf Dassler, relationships between the two brothers deteriorated until the two agreed to split in 1948, forming two separate entities, Adidas and Puma. Puma is currently based in Herzogenaurach, Germany.

Elegant Black and White Puma

The company is known for its football shoes and has sponsored acclaimed footballers, including Pelé, Eusébio, Johan Cruijff, Enzo Francescoli, Diego Maradona, Lothar Matthäus, Kenny Dalglish, Didier Deschamps and Gianluigi Buffon. Puma is also the sponsor of the Jamaican track athlete Usain Bolt. In the United States, the company is probably best known for the suede basketball shoe it introduced in 1968, which eventually bore the name of New York Knicks basketball star Walt "Clyde" Frazier, and for its endorsement partnership with Joe Namath.

Puma Shoes Black and White Edition

Following the split from his brother, Rudolf Dassler originally registered the new-established company as Ruda, but later changed to Puma.[3]:31 Puma's earliest logo consisted of a square and beast jumping through a D, which was registered, along with the company's name, in 1948. Puma's shoe designs feature the distinctive "Formstripe",[3]:33 with clothing and other products having the logo printed on them.

Puma owns 25% of American brand sports clothing maker Logo Athletic, which is licensed by American professional basketball and association football leagues. Since 2007 Puma AG has been part of the French luxury group PPR.

Review: Nail Polish Remover From H&M

This nail polish remover from H&M is my favorite one to remove my nail polish with.
They have a pink and a blue bottle, i picked the pink one because it has vitamin E and because its pink of course!

The thing that i really LOVE about this one is that this smells so good.
At first when you apply it to a cotton piece it smells a little strong like every nail polish remover does. But in only a few seconds, the smell changes. The smell reminds me of a type of candy, its amazing and my nails smell like that all day. It does a really good job removing the nail polish as well.

All the nail polish removers that i have tried have such a strong smell that it gives me a headache, im so happy that i have found this product since im a big fan of nail polishes.

Would i buy this product again?
Yeah absolutely! Im sticking to this one for sure.

Would i recommend this product?
Yeah of course i would. If you are looking for a new nail polish remover, you should check this out next time you are in your local H&M store. This is a must if you like to use alot of nail polishes. You are going to love the smell too.

Do you have a favorite nail polish remover?

Pierre Hardy pour Balenciaga

C'est limite devenu obsessionnel ... les Balenciaga de cet Hiver m'empêche de dormir en paix. Je les aime car elles sont différentes... avec des lignes terriblement modernes, voir décalées, et pourtant délicieusement élégantes. Un véritable patchwork de matières (crocodile, bakélite) qui leurs donnent un caractère unique. Les couleurs sont belles, les cambrures parfaites.




Ce Pierre Hardy est un Mozart de la chaussure, il anticipe sans jamais sombrer dans l'exagération. Un avant gardiste de talent !







Tiens j'ai croisé sur mon chemin, une autre raide dingue de cette collection, une illustratrice et photographe de talents Katarina Volover




Puis ce que j'y suis...je peux aussi vous confier mon autre obsession : Prada...mais bon, là on entame un autre chapitre...

What a fun surprise!

A huge thank you to Style Me Pretty for linking to my post on DIY succulent wreaths!  What a great surprise, and honor!

And you know how much I love me some SMP!  The feature they did of my wedding pretty much made my year...

I think stationery and card sets make great gifts.  I know that I love receiving handwritten notes, and I love sending them.  How great are these new sets by Kenzie Kate:

I would love to get one of these as a gift.  If you would like a set for yourself, go here.

Papelle Bag by LOEWE...

Le minimalisme est la grande tendance du moment, laissant logos et autres détails ostentatoires au placard. Alors forcément on craque pour ces sacs « Papelle » en cuir LOEWE, anti it-bag par exellence, on est certaine de jamais sans lasser.

little purchases...

Sometimes when you can't go shopping, even though you want to so badly, buying a few little things can really cheer a girl up... am I right? That's what happened to me the other day. I was feeling overwhelmed by school and desperately needed a little pick me up... Enter Shoppers Drug Mart. I don't know what it is, but looking at beauty products and magazines has this remarkable ability to restore my sense of goodwill. I had yet to pick up my copy of Nylon this month (I know, tisk tisk), so buying that, along with a bottle of Essie's Sew Psyched, cheered me right up!

My lovely friend Holly gave me the most adorable hair clips and headband when she visited last weekend, and I bought myself a little necklace at Urban Outfitters with the initial 'A' on it (the first initial of Mr. AIF's name, of course!). All these little purchases (and gifts) made me feel like myself again, all the while breathing life onto my nightstand, accessory drawer, and fingertips... Apparently you can buy happiness.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Happy (almost) Halloween! What are your plans for the weekend? We're going out for Italian food with some friends tonight, so I'm saving my appetite for a giant piece of lasagna. And I'm excited for the Halloween parade this weekend! Toby's going to be either a wolf or a tourist. Hope you have a good one, and here are a few great posts from around the web...
