Gerard Piqué for H.E. by Mango Autumn/Winter 12

F.C Barcelona football player Gerard Piqué assumes his role as the face of H.E. by Mango for the fourth season in a row, fronting the new Autumn/Winter 12 campaign. The Spanish brand's menswear collection has gone from strength to strength since it's launch in 2008 and the new arrivals have certainly topped the charts. Colour is key in the new range with reds, blues and an unmissable green blazer [pictured above]. 

Classic checks and leather goods come as standard, while staple pieces including denim shirts and wool coats give the collection even more oomph. That wool trench coat has really floored us and it's one of the nicest pieces we've seen from the high street so far. Quirky accessories like bow-ties and bracelets complete any look you're going for with this extensive collection that also includes sunglasses, printed tees and great leather footwear. On the whole it's a really versatile selection of clothing with pieces you can invest in for any season - footballer or no footballer.

Bell & Ross Launch New WW1 Chronograph Monopoussoir Watch

Pioneering watchmakers Bell & Ross have launched their latest timepiece - the WW1 Chronograph Monopoussoir. Bit of a mouthful indeed and this style is one of their most classic of recent creations. The brand is known for their heavy-duty craftsmanship suited to the lives of professionals in the aviation and marine industries. Their designs are bold and the without a doubt the epitome of masculinity. 

The somewhat daintier WW1 style still however draws inspiration from the styles worn by pilots in the 1920s. This mechanical automatic watch comes with two faces - the Heritage [pictured above] and the Ivory [pictured left]. The case is made from polished steel, the face is a domed sapphire crystal and the Heritage style features a calfskin strap whilst the Ivory option boasts a strap of navy blue alligator. Take a moment to digest. The brand certainly give new meaning to the phrase "there's more than meets the eye" - by the way you can get the Heritage for £4,900 and the Ivory for £5,400. Enjoy!

River Island Autumn/Winter 12 Preview Collection

We're focusing our attention on the AW12 collection already available with some great pieces for the continuing festival season.

UGG New Arrivals for Autumn/Winter 12

Summer is certainly still as fresh on our minds as it is on our doorsteps but it's still good practice to have a  back up plan when it comes to our increasingly unpredictable climate. UGG is a top contender for quality footwear with a real urban edge to it. The brand has quickly gone a lot further than those sheepskin boots that first spring to mind - and yes they do them for men too. With trainers/sneakers, boots, flip-flops, smart and casual shoes they are actually on top of all the seasons. They even have bags now - the Aidan Tote [pictured left] is one of our favourites from the current collection.

Also pictured above are a couple of our favourite new arrivals - ready and willing to be purchased now. The 'Vanowen' is a good example of an alternative trainer/sneaker whilst the 'Via Maggio' just makes you want to head on up to the Scottish highlands and be at one with nature. Or whatever. Be sure to keep your eye on this brand though - they're ticking boxes.
