PAUL SMITH SHIRT = £135.00

Nothing to overly analytical with this purchase. I saw the shirt, I liked the shirt, I bought the shirt.

LEVI'S VINTAGE = £150.00

Being a self confessed denim snob means it's difficult go back on statements like, 'I only wear denim that has selvedge'. So when my last pair of jeans bit the dust it was time to invest in another pair of jeans, of course I had to stick to my selvedge mantra. So I popped into the ever changing Cinch (the Levi's concept store off Carnaby St. that only stock Levi's Red and Levi's Vintage).

I found these 1963 Levi's 505s and they are fantastic, they're a nice deep indigo denim is always a safe bet! The thing that really caught my eye was a very bold claim on one of the tags stating 'EVERY PAIR GUARANTEED: A NEW PAIR IF THEY RIP". So I've put the receipt and the label in a safe place and lets see if Levi's stick to their word... Just have to hope the safe place, isn't too safe!

MARVIS JASMINE MINT TOOTHPASTE - £5.00

Over the past few months I have been trying to spend less and be a bit more frugal, alas it hasn't really worked. I have found myself drawn to brands that really kindle a sense of emotion whether that be via a person history I have with a product/brand or via the packaging.

Marvis toothpaste caught my whilst in the Murdoch Barbers concession in Liberty. I love the packaging and the range of flavours is fantastic. Although a little bit pricey for toothpaste, well worth every penny for the packaging alone.
