Picking The Perfect Outfit With Mainline Menswear

amomentwithfranca · 16 February 2017 · 2 Comments

It is not very often that Nick goes shopping and gets new clothes. It is normally me who encourages him to do it. Or even me who goes to pick something for him. Also it’s not very often that he gets designer clothes either. So he was very grateful to get the opportunity to pick an outfit from Mainline Menswear ready for Valentine’s day. I was very excited for him, but would he pick the perfect outfit?

Picking The Perfect Outfit With Mainline Menswear

Valentine’s Day is a very special day for us because back in Feb 2007 on Valentine’s Day, Nick proposed to me! The funny thing is that you are probably expecting a romantic night out and then the typical surprise of popping the question. But this didn’t happen like this to us. He did propose that day but not in a fancy and romantic setting but in our flat while I was in bed after being very ill for a few days. This isn’t the typical proposal story that you might hear but for me, it was a day to remember even though I was feeling very ill. Valentine’s Day is, therefore, a special day for us!

This year we were away on a family trip in Yorkshire reviewing a B&B. Because we were with the girls we didn’t have a date night out but we did spend a lovely time altogether during that day! Beforehand he searched through the Mainline Menswear website to choose an outfit to wear during our trip away.

Mainline Menswear

Mainline Menswear was born in 2002 with a small shop opened in the seaside town of Scarborough, North Yorkshire. It grew very quickly and then their website was launched in 2004. They moved to a large warehouse area to be able to stock their extensive range of designer clothing for men. They have clothes for men of all ages and available on any budget.

They have around 85 designer brands such us Hugo Boss, Armani, Lacoste, Ted Baker, Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren, Paul Smith, Moshino, Versace, Vans, Tommy Hilfiger, Timberland Boots and loads more clothing and footwear brands with a huge selection of clothing and accessories. This is perfect for Nick because he can choose so many options and be able to do it at home. It is quick and easy. They have very good customer service and also their delivery was very quick. They do next day delivery if you opt for this service for £4.95. The delivery is free when you order is more than £150.

After searching trough the website, Nick picked the following outfit:

The Perfect Outfit?

FRED PERRY BOLD CHECK SHIRT RED – £80

FRED PERRY SHIRT 1

FRED PERRY SHIRT 2

This is a gorgeous shirt. It has a long sleeves and bold checks in red, blue and light blue.  It has a full front branded pearlescent button fastening with a button down shirt collar and button fastening cuffs on the long sleeves. The signature embroidered Fred Perry Laurel Wreath logo is situated on the left of the chest in white. It is 100% Cotton.

I really like how this shirt looked on him. I love the colours and I think it really suits him. He looks smart but casual. It is the perfect shirt to use for different occasions.

PAUL AND SHARK REGULAR FIT CHINO TROUSERS NAVY – £115

PAUL AND SHARK CHINOS 1

PAUL AND SHARK CHINOS 2

These chinos arrived with their own hanger with a logo and inside a branded bag. It was really nice. They are regular fit trousers in navy. These trousers are constructed from a stretch fabric for comfort and freedom of movement. A metal zip and top button fly with six belt loops on the waistband. A typical five pocket design featuring two pouch pockets on the waist with a small coin pocket within the right pocket and two pouch pockets on the reverse.

The signature woven and embroidered Paul And Shark logo patch is sewn onto the reverse right pocket in navy, red, white, and golden brown which looks really nice. I really like it. I thought Nick looked very smart in these trousers.

PENFIELD AVONDALE JUMPER GREY – WAS £80 NOW £42.08

PENFIELD JUMPER 1

PENFIELD JUMPER 2

This is a lambs wool jumper with a knitted horizontal stripe design in grey, dark grey and light grey. A ribbed knit crew neck in grey with a ribbed design to the waistband and cuffs of the long sleeves in dark grey. The signature woven Penfield logo patch is situated on the lower left in cream, red and blue.

This a great jumper to be used for different occasions too. It was the perfect casual look with a smart touch that makes him look great but at the same time, he felt very comfortable and also very warm.

OUTFIT LOOK

I thought the whole look was really nice and smart. It was perfect for our weekend away and for Valentine’s Day. The 3 items were of an amazing quality and I’m sure he will be using them for a long time. We are both very pleased with the whole look.

We were both very satisfied with the service and Nick enjoyed the whole online shopping experience. We will be definitely be coming back to search more clothes to buy in the future, especially me when I have to think about Father’s Day in a few months time!

Have you bought at Mainline Menswear before? What do you think of the outfit? Do you think Nick did a good job?

Love you all ❤️

✨ Cat Cafe In London✨.📍Bella and I went t ✨ Cat Cafe In London✨.📍Bella and I went to @javawhiskersuk , a cat cafe located in @westfieldlondon . This was my present for Mother’s Day from her🌸.🌟 Before we went inside, we had to go to a separate room to wash our hands and remove our shoes..🐾 They have 2 different rooms: the Cat Lounge and the Kitten Lounge and you can choose to stay from 55 mins to 1hr 55 mins. The prices vary depending on the room you choose and the length of time..🍰 When we stepped inside the room we were greeted by a group of gorgeous kittens. We ordered (before we went inside the room) a latte and a delicious chocolate muffin with chocolate melted inside that was so good. This was served to us in the room while we were surrounded by these adorable kittens..🐱 We spent 55 mins playing and petting the kittens. They were so cute. We loved interacting with them..🥰 Their cafe is also a foster home for homeless cats so if you are looking to adopt one, this is the place to visit! They have had 230 successful adoptions already! 🙌🏻.🚨 The only downside is that you have to be over 10 years old in order to be allowed inside the rooms 😬.🐈 If you are a cat lover like us, I highly recommend you visit Java Whiskers! It is the perfect place to unwind and relax with these beautiful kittens! 🙌🏻.Have you visited a Cat Cafe before? 🐈‍⬛ .#javawhiskers #catcafe #catcafelondon #londoncafe #westfieldlondon #londondayout #daysout #thingstodoinlondon #newplaces #londonguide #lovecats😻 #catsofinstagram #catloversday #londonthingstodo #whatsonlondon

We spent 55 mins arround gorgeous kittens. I had a great time! I am a cat lover so this was a fab present for me! I will talk more about this experience on another post but if you swipe left you can see a little peak of our time there! 🐈😉.Today, the girls and Nick took me for the actually Mother’s Day celebration 🎉 to @cafejackss in Queen’s Park where we had brunch. It was a yummy treat. Swipe left to check it out! 😋 .After that we went for a walk. There was a small market nearby so it was nice to have a little look around 😍. We then went back home and spent the rest of the day chilling which is something, I’m not going to lie, I love doing! 😉😂.How was your day?#mothersdayuk #mothersdayweekend #mothersday2023 #motherofdaughters #mumoftwo #mumofgirls #mydaughters #lovemydaughters #daughterslove #mummydaughtertime #daughtersarethebest #daughtersrock #spendingtimetogether #happyfamilytime #familytime💕
✨My Girls✨.Due to the strikes we had Sienna ✨My Girls✨.Due to the strikes we had Sienna at home yesterday and today, and Bella only today. I thought it would be very chaotic but despite it always being louder when the girls are at home, especially my youngest one, lol, we did well..Bella did school work at home today and had the afternoon free. Sienna didn’t do school work. We only asked her to carry on doing Spanish and Maths via Duolingo. She also had Spanish lessons this afternoon (every Thursday she has lessons) so both days were manageable thankfully 😍.How was it for you? Did your kids stay at home or did they go to school? .PS: let’s hope things get better for teachers. I fully support the strikes. .#sistertime #sisterlylove #sistersgoals #hermanas #sistersforever #sistersforlife #sisterslove #siblingslove #lovemydaughters #raisingdaughters #mydaughters #londonkids #WembleyPark #wembley #londondesigneroutlet
✨Happy Weekend✨.How is your weekend going so ✨Happy Weekend✨.How is your weekend going so far? I am finally feeling more normal after the massive jetlag I had after my trip to South America. I am not sure why it hit me so much this time but it has taken me about two solid weeks to properly be back to my routine without feeling right. Waking up in the mornings was the worst. It was very hard, especially when I had to be on time for the school run! 😩.Anyway, everything feels better now! 😊.How long does it take you to be back to normal after a jetlag? Do you have any tricks or tips to speed this process? .📸 Selfy taken in Barranco, a lively district in Peru considered to be one of the most romantic and bohemian places to visit and being the home and working place of many Peruvian artists, musicians, designers, photographers among others 😎.#thisisme #selfie #instaselfie #smilemore #brunettehair #greeneyes #over40#over40blogger #overforty #overfortystyle #over40andfabulous #over40mom #outandabout #barrancolima
✨The Costa Verde✨.Lima, the capital of Peru ✨The Costa Verde✨.Lima, the capital of Peru is located on the coast. Walking along the sidewalk of the Malécon in Lima’s picturesque seaside district, Miraflores, you can admire the most beautiful views of the Pacific Ocean. .The “Costa Verde” is a coastal road.

Start of my walk with the view of the ocean showing one the most gorgeous restaurants in Lima “La Rosa Nautica” where you can walk along the pier and then seat down for a meal with a sea view. Very scenic 😍2. 📸 Greater view of the coast showing the Pacific Ocean3. 🎥 Parque Chino (Chinese Park)4. 📸 Parque El Libro (The Book Park) showing a colorful sculpture, “Silencio” created by Peruvian artist José Tola.5. 📸 Parque del Amor (Love Park) showing its larger-than-life sculpture of two lovers in a deep embrace called “The Kiss”.

✨Peruvian Suspiro Limeño✨."Suspiro Limeño" ✨Peruvian Suspiro Limeño✨."Suspiro Limeño" is one of my favourite Peruvian desserts. When I was In Peru, I of course, made sure to have it not only once but several times 😉.This dessert is made of manjar blanco (milk, sugar, almond flour, egg yolks, vanilla) and meringue (egg whites, port, cinnamon) 😘.The history behind this dessert starts with Amparo Ayarza who was the creator. Her husband, José Gálvez Barrenechea was a poet and was the one who gave it its name. The poet called it "Suspiro de Limeña", which means, 'Sigh of a Lima lady', because it is soft and sweet like the sigh of a woman. Love this 🥰.Have you ever tried "Suspiro Limeño"? Or have you heard of it before? Would you try it? .📸 Picture taken @panchitasazoncriolla in Lima that has one of the best versions of this dessert 🙌🏻.#suspirolimeño #peruviandessert #meringue #merengue #desserttime #dessertlover #dessertpic #dessertgram #peruvianfood #cocinaperuana #gastronomiaperuana #perufood #peruviancousine #whatisfordessert #dessertsofinstagram
