Day Off Snaps

Beat it kid
Slick shoe game
Natural minature stream in some gravel 
Balloon with a face
Cowboy with a face in Levi's
New socks and watermelons

On my day off this week I spent some well deserved time with Hollie in Manchester. We haven't spend that much time with each other over the last year, she's been ripping her way through the final year at uni and also been in America for the past 4 weeks. All her hard work did pay off in the end, she won the Barclays New Business award at Graduate Fashion Week and finish with top notch grades.

Here's a few snaps from a nice relaxing day around town. We took some time out to go to a gallery which was a nice change from the high street and finished the day with tea at a Mexican place. I did pick up some pretty slick multi-colour woolen socks from Urban Outfitters and some watermelon print swim shorts from M&S. I can't swim but I'm not passing up a print as good as this one, the word "dope" would describe these well.

Enjoy your weekend guys, what ever you may be doing.

  1. Those watermelon shorts are amazing. Hopefully you'll get some use out of them next week when the sun is out! Fingers crossed the weatherman was right eh? Hope you have a fab weekend!

    I don't blame you, those are some super shorts!

    I often find those days when you just have a pleasent walk through town are generally always some of the best - the simple things!

    I'm really liking Hollie's trainers by the way, pretty sweet stuff!

  17. Looks like a great time! I always want to go out on the town for the day and take pics but I never seem to fully commit to that. Maybe after seeing this it'll get me up and going to do so. haha.
    I'm not much of a swimmer either but man are swim trunks great lounge wear and overall a great piece to just go out in. I really like that a lot of companies have brought back the short short style. I've been wanting to snag a few more pairs but they're a bit pricey I think. I got an awesome pair for dirt cheap from topman. I definitely recommend theirs if you're looking for a new pair.
