The Perfect Gift of Time: 35% off Nordgreen Black Friday

*Paid collaboration & contains affiliate discount code 'MC35' for 35% off.

With Christmas looming around the corner, you're probably thinking (or panicking) about finding the perfect gift for that special someone. Over lockdown, many of us have been paying attention to our pre-covid consumption habits and the environmental impacts associated with online shopping. It's now more important than ever to support small businesses, ethical brands and consume meaningfully.

This is why Nordgreen watches make the perfect gift!

Featuring the Philosopher watch.

Time is possibly the best gift you could give anybody.

Whether that'd through certain acts of kindness or a sophisticated watch, time is something we could all give each other. Nordgreen’s Scandinavian watches are carefully crafted to withstand the test of time, the watches can be passed down from generation to generation. They're also one of the few gifts that can be worn on a daily basis. I'd say that's a generous way to give someone a daily reminder of you.

Personally special.

There's nothing that quite beats the moment of witnessing someone filled with joy from unboxing a watch. Even more so, when the timepiece perfectly suits them. It makes the luxurious gift extra special.

From classic chronographs to minimalist watches, there's a timepiece that suits every individual's personality and style. Nowadays, many watches feature an interchangeable mechanism so you can easily change your strap colour and material. Elevate your look with a bold metal strap to tackle any challenge or keep it casual with a nylon one to add a pop of colour to your outfit.

I have two straps - one in mesh metal and another in real leather. At the time of choosing my two straps, I selected the genuine leather as I didn't realise they also had a vegan option. So if you want to be conscious and opt for an ethical option, their vegan leather straps are available in 4 colours.

Global support beyond your gift.

Change the world and be part of a brighter future for everyone. When you invest in a Nordgreen watch, it's more than just a gift. Their watches support the health, education and environmental challenges faced by our global communities.

Their Giving Back Programme means that each watch to contributes to 1 of the following 3 global causes:

1 month of clean water to a family in Africa
2 months of free education to children in India
Preserve 200 sq ft of rain forest in Latin America

You can still take part in Black Friday while supporting sustainability.

Don't forget, you can use my Black Friday discount code 'MC35' for 35% off storewide. It's only valid until Cyber Monday (1.12.2020). This is the biggest discount offer you'll find in the Nordgreen Black Friday campaign so be quick! But if you've missed it then you have until January to get 15% with 'MC'.

Happy Black Friday shopping!

Fire It Up | KATCH ME A/W 2020 Review

If this isn't the most Bonfire Night appropriate outfit then I don't know what is. 🤷🏻‍♀️

When Katch Me asked me to review their Autumn and Winter pieces, I was immediately screaming YES, YES, YES! I've been a fan of the UK online fashion brand ever since discovering them on Instagram and they've been my go to for rave outfits. They always have the most sassy, edgy and bold clothing pieces in the game.

Black Flame Print Cropped Denim Trucker Jacket

The first item I picked out is from their Coats & Jackets range in a size small / 8.

While most of my friends are excited about bring back neutral tones into their wardrobes, I just wanted something that's unique, ready to slay and firing the place up.

I have been completely head over heals this fire print jacket - the cropped fit and trucker style gives me major 90s and y2k fashion vibes. They also have a matching Flame Print Mini Skirt, if you want to go all out.

The material is very thin, which makes it perfect for transitioning outfits from Summer to Autumn. If raves weren't ruined by the corona outbreak this year, I probably would be wearing this out most weekends because the jacket is sickening and you can easily tie it around your waist.

I adore pairing the jacket with a black or white crop top. Since the fire print is so bold, I don't want to add any other colours which would take away its limelight.

Black Chain Detail Vinyl Joggers

The second item I got was from their PU collection in a size 10.

These trousers are made with a vinyl material which is gives it a little bit more shine compared to faux leather. I think that vinyl and leather trousers are an essential in Autumn. They're so flattering, make any outfit pop and just go well with everything. Pair it with a casual t-shirt, bodysuit or even turtle neck jumper - you can't go wrong.

The chain detail gives these trousers an extra edge and it's not heavy either.

I love that these trousers have deep pockets, that' always a win. Fake pockets are just downright frustrating, where do designers expect me to put my phone?!

Overall

So, that's it for my Katch Me outfit and mini review. I love a good stylish bargain, even more so when all of their products are true to size and look exactly the same as the images on their website. I'm sure we've all been catfished by an online store before, which is not a fab experience. Thank god, it's not the case with Katch Me. I really recommend them if you adore affordable and unique fast fashion pieces.

I still have a lounge co-ord outfit coming, so be sure to keep your eyes out for that.

Have you guys got anything from Katch Me before? And, what are you plans for the UK's second lockdown? Let me know in the comments below.
