The Fin’s Sale is coming to an end – hurry!

Wednesday, July 20th, 2011

As the more observant among you may have already noticed, and, indeed taken advantage of, we have dropped the prices in the Fin’s sale even further. This has been met by astonishment, disbelief and, unsurprisingly, a huge amount of orders from Fin’s fans who know a great bargain when they see it!

If you haven’t already snapped up a pair or two of Fin’s in the sale, now is the time to do so. Prices are at an all time low and there are just a few days left, so time is definitely of the essence.

Our pick of the sale has got to be the Marshall Loafer in Mull Mouse which is now at a jaw-droppingly low price of £40.25.

The Marshall in Mull Mouse at £40.50

We adore the Marshall because not only is it stylish and chic but it has also been hailed as one of our comfiest shoes. Perfect for casual days in the city and nights out on the town.

The Finspadrille is another bargain perfect for those soon to be jetting off to an exotic location in the sun. The Finspadrille is ideal for taking you from the pool to the bar , and at only £17.80 it’s worth snapping up a few pairs to see you through the summer.

Happy Shopping!

Fin’s Style News

Fin’s Style News

In the midst of a week of hard-hitting and provocative news Fin’s felt it was time for some more light-hearted news features. We decided to give our Fin’s readers a break from the gritty details of various scandals and instead concentrate on the best and worst outfits from the weeks most newsworthy stories.

The Harry Potter Premiere.

The final battle between good and evil took place on the red carpet this week. But who came away with a style victory and who fell from glory?

A Definite Improvement on the Specs

A well cut grey suit paired with a simple shirt and tie in complimenting colours scored style points for Potter star, Daniel Radcliffe. We only wish he had styled his hair to match his sharp look.

His co-star, Rupert Grint, didn’t fare so well on the red carpet with his bizarre snake skin style suit. Perhaps next time he should leave the costumes on the set.

When Good Intentions Go Wrong

Will’s and Kate’s Canada Trip

With so much media attention given to Kates collection of dresses it was up to Fin’s to assess Williams sartorial choices.

The Princes penchant for navy suits became obvious during the recent tour and Wills was clearly most comfortable in a well cut navy suit paired with a modest pocket square. We can’t fault his classic look although a pair of Bull&Bears wouldn’t go amiss.

Classic Tailoring to a T

However it also became clear on the tour that jeans were not Williams forte. We particularly disliked this shabby grey pair, and thought that he would look much better in a smarter pair in dark denim, paired with Fin’s Marshalls in Islay Tan.

Out of all of the Jeans in the World...

The News of the World Hacking Scandal

Rupert Murdoch is living proof that money can’t buy style. When you’re at the centre of one of the biggest scandals of the year it’s advisable to avoid looking like a helpless old man. Murdoch needs to step up his style game and start dressing like the business tycoon he is.

A Baseball Cap, really?

LOVES & HATES of the Week from Fin’s HQ

LOVE

Wills and Kate Canada Watch

The royal visit has provided us with a constant source of entertainment this week. There hasn’t been a dull moment in the office with so many dresses, shoes (Kate), jeans (Wills) and hats (both) to analyse!

Dosey Do or Dosey Don't?

Hugh Grant

Bouncing back into our lives with his involvement in uncovering the NOTW hacking scandal.  How we have missed his earnest facial expressions.

The Fin’s Sale

Where else can you get a Finspadrille for just £26.70, or a classic loafer in Portofino Yellow for a mere £38? Brilliant bargains to be had this July.

Bargain, no?

The New Sushi Pop Up at the Bluebird

Delicious Sushi, Perfect for Lunch and just a 2 minute walk from the office. We have a feeling we will be there more than a few times this summer!!!

HATE

Waiting for Films to be Released

After watching the trailer for Sarah Jessica Parkers new movie – I Don’t Know How She Does It – we were uber-disappointed when we learnt that it is not due to be released until September. Then, imagine our distress when we realised The Iron Lady starring Meryl Streep is not out until January. January!!!

The Suspense is Killing Us!

Beyonce’s New Video

So disappointing B. After the love and excitement we felt after the Glasto performance and listening to the album on repeat all week, we were expecting something special from the ‘Best I Never Had’ video.

Pamplona Bull Running

We cannot imagine why anybody would want to put themselves in this situation! The pictures say it all.

Morbid

Constant Rain

In this weather the simplest of tasks become a minefield of danger. Shoe choice in the morning is no longer about which pair of Fin’s best suit the outfit but, rather, which will be the most waterproof. A quick dash to Starbucks becomes an assault course jumping through puddles and avoiding car splashes. All in all, a very unpleasant start to July!
