Men's Trending Fashion Online: Stay Ahead of the Fashion Game

Staying on top of the latest fashion trends is no longer a luxury in the fast-paced world of fashion; it's a need. Men today have unparalleled access to the hottest fashion trends from around the world, thanks to the convenience of internet purchasing. In this blog, we'll look at how men may use online shopping to keep their wardrobes looking fresh and trendy.

The Growth in Online Shopping:

The internet has transformed our shopping habits, and the fashion business is no different. Online fashion merchants have dominated the market, putting a diverse range of styles, sizes, and brands at your fingertips. Men can now experiment with their particular style and embrace the current trends more easily than ever before.

Men's Trending Fashion Online Tips:

Stay Informed: Staying informed is the first step toward becoming a trendsetter. Men's clothing fashion periodicals, blogs, and social media profiles should all be followed. This will help you stay on top of current events.

Investigate Online Retailers: Online fashion businesses can have a larger assortment than brick-and-mortar stores. Take your time exploring different internet merchants to uncover one-of-a-kind and trendy things that complement your personal style.

Check Customer Reviews: Before making a purchase, check reviews of customers. This can provide useful information about the product's fit, quality, and general satisfaction.

Invest in Staples: While it's fun to buy contemporary items, make sure your wardrobe includes classics like well-fitted trousers, a crisp white shirt, and a versatile blazer. These pieces form the cornerstone of your style.

Accessorize: Accessories may instantly transform an outfit. Invest in a fine watch, fashionable belts, and high-quality footwear. These minor things can have a major impact on your entire appearance.

Prioritize Fit: No matter how trendy an item is, it will not look good if it does not fit correctly. When shopping online, pay attention to sizing guides and measurements to guarantee a suitable fit.

Sustainability: Consider supporting companies that value sustainability. Sustainable fashion is not only fashionable, but also ethical and environmentally conscious.

Online Shopping's Versatility:

The adaptability of online shopping is one of its most significant advantages. Online businesses cater to all interests and preferences and become more user friendly, whether you're a fashion-forward trendsetter or like timeless aesthetics. Here are some examples of how online purchasing can cater to various fashion sensibilities:

Trendsetters: If you're always looking for the newest fashion trends, online shopping is the place to be. You can find new designers, limited-edition releases, and runway-inspired designs that aren't always easy to get in physical stores.

Classic Dressers: Online businesses offer a wide range of classic wardrobe options for those who seek timeless elegance. You may easily find well-tailored suits, traditional shirts, and timeless accessories.

Casual Cool: If your finishing touch is more casual and comfortable, internet merchants have a plethora of possibilities for you. From loose-fit jeans to toasty hoodies, you may create a wardrobe that is both comfortable and fashionable.

Minimalists: Online collections & product categories for minimalist fashion fans provide simplicity and sophistication. Those who favor a minimalist look will find streamlined designs, neutral color palettes, and basic components readily available.

Getting Around Online Shopping:

Here are some additional recommendations to help you make the most of your online shopping experience:

Understand Your Measurements: Knowing your exact measurements is essential while purchasing online. Refer to the brand's sizing guides and properly measure yourself to achieve the right fit from their wide variety.

Examine Return Policies: Before making a purchase, learn about the online shopping website return and exchange policies. This will provide you with peace of mind in the event that an item does not meet your expectations.

Secure Payment: To protect your financial information, be sure the online store you're using provides secure payment alternatives.

Stay Updated: Subscribe to newsletters from your favorite online merchants to stay up to date. You'll be among the first to learn about exclusive deals, sales, and new arrivals this way.

Conclusion:

Clothes Online shopping sites have changed the way men think about clothes. It has given us the freedom to experiment with, and evolve our personal style. You can make the most of men's fashion online by remaining educated, mixing and matching, and investing in quality products. 

Remember that fashion is about self-expression and confidence, so have fun with it and don't be scared to stand out from the crowd. Embrace the trends that reflect your distinct style and personality, and you'll always be one step ahead of the fashion pack. Have fun shopping!

Enjoy the Best of Both Worlds with a High-Quality Reversible Fur Coat

Are you tired of worrying about your beautiful mink fur coat getting ruined by unexpected rain? Imagine stepping out for a night on the town in your luxurious fur coat, only to have a sudden storm drench it. It's not exactly the scenario we envision for a good time. While genuine fur can withstand light rain, heavy downpours can be damaging.

But fret not, there's a solution to enjoy the warmth and style of fur without being at the mercy of the weather. Enter the high-quality reversible fur coat – a perfect addition to your wardrobe. These exquisite pieces combine the timeless appeal of fur with the water resistance of polyester, offering unparalleled versatility. So, you can rock your fur coat without anxiously checking the weather forecast.

The Warmth of Fur Without Any Drawbacks

Fur has been a symbol of style and luxury for ages, and rightly so. Its regal appearance and natural insulation make fur coats a standout choice for outerwear. However, when it comes to heavy rain, fur does have a disadvantage. While a light drizzle won't harm it, a substantial amount of water can cause damage. In such cases, it's essential to get your fur coat treated by a professional furrier.

Not to worry, a reversible fur coat presents a clever solution. When the weather turns gloomy, you can simply wear the fur side on the inside and let the protective water-resistant polyester do what it's supposed to. This enhances the versatility of your fur coat, keeping you warm and stylish no matter what the weather gods have in store.

The Many Benefits of a Fur Coat

If you're new to the world of fur coats, you might wonder why they're worth the investment over modern polyester coats. Let us enlighten you! Fur garments offer more than just a timeless look.

First and foremost, fur coats provide unparalleled warmth and comfort. Even lighter furs can keep you toasty, and their breathability sets them apart from synthetic materials. Once you experience the coziness of fur, there's no turning back.

Durability is another compelling reason to own a fur coat. Properly cared for, these luxurious garments can last for a very long time, outliving many other types of coats. Consider it an investment in elegance and comfort, rather than just another piece of clothing.

And let's not forget the timeless charm of fur. Its classic appeal transcends trends, harking back to an era of refinement and grace. With a fur coat in your collection, you'll always have that sophisticated touch to elevate any outfit.

Hi nicole, my darling friend!

How r u?

I saw your ask game.. how about, whats your Top 10 favorite food? 😁

Cheerio!

Hi Chell!!!, sorry for the late reply but thank you for the question, thinking of ten might be tricky but i think i can do it :D Now these aren't in any order but...number 1 is def number one, but mainly because i've had it once and it was life changing lol

1: Francesinha: I've only had this once but it was timeless and i hope to eat it again, its basically a meat sandwich, covered in cheese, with an egg on top, and a tomato sauce poured all over it, with chips on the side, i had it at last the second time i went to lisbon and i only wish i knew some place where i live that made this ;_;

2: Reeces: I love peanut butter and chocolate, so the two combined is amazing, and reeces just, has that something that makes it unique to others, its one of my top fave chocolates.

3: Toad in a hole: Its a great comfort food of mine and its literally just sausages in batter, but there is something about it that just makes me so happy to eat it, especially in gravy.

4: Cheese Toastie: You can't do wrong with a cheese toastie, i wish we had the proper machine that makes them but they are def more unhealthy than if you did it on a pan i guess. There is something simple about it but when you use the right cheese and if you add say ham, or once peanut butter, its mind blowing.

5: Sweet and sour Chicken Balls/Pork Balls: When ever I have a chinese we always get them, and its always a good deal since you tend to get 10 and so I have 5 then and 5 the next day. And the sauce you get with it urf, love it.

6: Battered Sasuage and Chips: I don't eat fish so I go for a battered sasuage. Sadly where I live right now, the chips here are never any good, there is a seaside place about almost 2 hours away we went to and omg i almost cried how good the chips were. Its a comfort food also but only when its done right which sadly it hasnt been in years due to them not being as good here as where I used to live.

7: Iceland Chicken, bacon and Waffle Pizza: I don't think they make this anymore but my god I had this a few times and it was the most amazing pizza I've ever had. The combination, the stuffed crust, and the syrup made this a pizza I wish was at every pizza place.

8:Doughnut Time 'its always a gaytime': There was this doughnut from doughtnut time that was based off an australian product called gaytime, and it was a beautiful doughtnut. It was big and the filling was butterscotch i think, and it had this crumb stuff all around it. I loved it so much.

9:Byron's cheesemas burger: Byron did a christmas burger that had 10+types of cheese in it, and included a jug of melted cheese to dip it in. It was probs way too much cheese but the best burger I ever had that I had it twice, never seen or tasted a burger like it.

10:Sheet Cake: This is very random but my mum and sister got this cake from work someone had ordered for everyone and for some reason they took a lot of it home and that frosting....I would eat a whole tub of it. If/when I get married I'm gonna make sure I have a sheet cake all to myself because why should I share something I love like sheetcake XD

Thanks again for asking me this, this was fun :D

Think About Length & Fit 

Another key factor when choosing a pair of cashmere gloves is length and fit. If you’re looking for a shorter pair that won’t interfere with everyday activities like texting or typing, opt for a three-quarter glove.

Christmas movies  

When Peggy and Natasha returned from their ice skating expedition, they peeled off their winter wear and got cozy on the couch. Peggy’s rooms were toasty warm which was a nice contrast to falling snow and freezing temperature they had just endured. Crawling under a comforter in nothing but their skivvies, they cuddled up close and turned on the TV.

“What do you want to watch?” Natasha asked, given she had the remote.

“We haven’t done any Christmas movies yet and time is running out,” Peggy replied, dramatically.

“Okay,” Nat answered, suppressing a grin. “What do you want to watch?”

“The best Christmas movie ever, of course,” Peggy said, excitedly.

“If you don’t tell me what you want to watch,” Nat threatened. “I’ll throw this remote at you and go watch my favorite Christmas movie, which I’m pretty sure isn’t you style.”

“Okay, then. Going My Way,” Peggy answered, duly scolded. “Can’t lose with Bing Crosby.”

“Yeah, he had a nice voice,” Natasha replied. “Never seen any of his movies.”

“WHAT?” Peggy said, pulling away from the redhead and looking aghast. “He isn’t my favorite actor, but he’s good. Always the straight man to Bob Hope’s antics. You know Bob Hope, right?”

“Golf tournaments or something?” Nat teased, rubbing Peggy’s massive shoulder to sooth her.

“Now, I’m going to the other room,” Peggy retorted. “You can stay here and watch your Christmas Staycation or Sad Santa or whatever other inapprop-”

Natasha rested her hand on the inside of Peggy’s thigh and placed the index finger of her other hand over the super soldier’s lips.

“Hold you horses,” Nat said, gently massaging the spot on her lover’s thigh. “You know that phrase, don’t you?”

“I do,” the brunette said, inhaling at the touch and ending her rant.

“When you came here in from 1945, you missed one of the best years for Christmas movies. 1947 had two of the timeless classics, “The Bishop’s wife and Miracle on 34th Street. Both were remade in the 1990s, but neither really lived up the original. I’m KNOW Going My Way is a classic as well, but I think you’ll love Miracle on 34th Street.”

Peggy’s eyes glistened with emotion; not just from the hand on her leg, but from the unconditional love she get from Natasha. “I love you, Natasha. You never cease to amaze me. What you just said might as well have been you talking dirty to me.”

“I love you back, Peg,” Nat replied, leaning in for a kiss. “Which also means I know how to get into your pants.”

“It’s not hard,” Peggy said.

“How disappointing,” Nat said, unable to control her laughter.

It took the brunette a moment to get the joke, after which she punched the former assassin in the arm. “Seriously Natasha?”

“You set it up so perfectly…”

“Anyway,” Peggy said, feigning offense. “What’s this movie about?”

“Well,” Nat said, rubbing her and moving her hand to Peggy’s waist, continuing to let her fingers play lightly on the alabaster skin. “A man is hired to play Santa at Macy’s and he soon begins to claim he is the real deal, the actual Santa. Drama ensues when daughter of the woman who hired him believes him.”

“Is he really Santa?” Peggy asked, genuinely.

Natasha furrower her brow. “That would be a spoiler, Cap. I’m not telling you the ending.”

“Fair enough,” Peggy replied. “But, when the movie is over, I have a mind to test your Christmas spirit.”

“Bring it on, Peg,” Nat replied. “I love taking your tests.”

Despite her circumstances, Emma does not feel like a prisoner of fearsome pirate Captain Hook. In fact, she’s been made to feel quite comfortable in his quarters, and after he was sure that their interests aligned and that they were useful to one another, he told her she could have free reign of the ship to do as she pleased until they made landfall. 

 “No one on this vessel will harm you, love,” he assured her when she became bored of exploring his quarters, and she believed him immediately. 

 Maybe she was bothering him as he peered over his logs and maps and she tinkered with the exotic items he’s collected— perhaps that’s why he encouraged her to explore. Either way, she didn’t have to be told twice, and found out that the men aboard were surprisingly pleasant as well. Mr. Smee was a shy and timid man, but friendly and caring all the same. The rest of the crew wore snarls when they looked at her, but broke down easily the moment she began casual conversation with them. 

 Maybe it’s because they know how instrumental she is in their Captain getting his revenge. 

 As she leans against the rail of the upper deck after a day of learning about ships and pirating, she watches as the sun sets behind them, painting the sky an intoxicating shade of pink that fades into purple and black. Hook is at the wheel, navigating through the ocean that almost claimed her, and despite her situation, she feels safe. If she had to be dragged from the sea and rescued by pirates, she supposes she lucked out with the Jolly Roger.

“Quite a sight, isn’t it, love?” he asks her, and she turns to face him so she can respond. 

 “It’s beautiful.” 

 “Never been aboard a ship before, I take it?” he calls from the wheel, giving her a smirk at the look of wonderment on her face. 

 “Nope, never had much of a need to,” she responds as casually as she can.  

 “Or an opportunity?” 

 She laughs, a bit awkwardly, and says, “I guess not. It’s not something I've really thought about.”

 “I see,” he concedes when she gets closer to him, leaning against the rail just across from the wheel he commands. “So, tell me about your boy.” 

 She sighs wistfully and looks up to the sky, wondering what he could be up to, what he’s thinking, if he’s worried about her. “His name is Henry. He’s almost eleven, but he acts like he’s 32. Super smart, very passionate about the things and people he cares about.” 

 “Sounds like you,” he chuckles.

 “How would you know?” she asks with incredulity. 

 “You're an open book. And you did hold a knife to my throat yesterday. I can only attribute that to your passion and assume that you want to get home quite badly.” 

 “Of course I do,” she rolls her eyes, stepping closer to him until she’s leaning against the helm and glaring at him. “I’m his mother,” she insists. 

 He nods and says, “of course. But I sense that there’s more to the story.”

 Caught off guard, she answers, “well, just… he’s been through a lot. Especially in the past year.”

 “I see. And you don’t wish to contribute to his turmoil.” She shrugs, looking away from his gaze. “You don’t wish to contribute... further?”

 Her breathing falters at his accuracy and she says, “let’s just say I wasn’t always there for him in the way I should’ve been. He deserves better and I need to get home to make sure I can give him that.” 

 He nods thoughtfully, pursing his lips and looking ahead towards the horizon again, as if anything before them has changed in the last day and a half. “I understand, love.” It’s as if he shakes himself out of a trance when he says, “try your hand at the wheel?” 

 She raises her brows and gives him a disbelieving look. “After I just told you I’ve never even been on a ship?”

 “It’s not difficult to learn,” he tells her as he lifts his hand towards her, gently guiding her behind the wheel. “Besides, the Jolly is enchanted. You can’t hurt her.” 

 She snorts softly, shaking her head as he leads her and places her hand upon a handle, letting his fingers linger on the top of her hand for a moment too long. “How do you manage to get your ship enchanted?” she asks amorously once his fingers leave her skin, taking with them a feeling of gentle warmth.  

 “You know the right enchantress,” he flirts back, his mouth just a bit too close to her ear. She can almost feel his voice rumbling through his chest as it presses to her back, keeping her warm against the whipping winds of the sea. “There,” he says softly. “You're sailing.” 

 She laughs lightly, unaware of how exciting she actually found this until he put it to words. Seriously, she’s captaining a pirate ship! Henry is gonna be so excited when she tells him this story. “I guess I am,” she says happily. 

 “I think she likes you,” he says in a way that she knows isn’t a joke, despite how ridiculous it sounds.

 “Why, because she isn’t sinking?” 

 “Aye, she doesn’t always take kindly to strangers.”

 “And you let me do this?!”

 He laughs, but doesn’t respond with words, as if he knows he’s been caught. “I had a feeling.”

 They’re quiet for a moment, and while he’d dropped her hand and is letting her steer on her own, she notes that he doesn't back up and keeps her back pressed gently to him. “We’re going to get you home to him, love,” he murmurs into her ear, so softly that she can barely hear him over the sound of the wind. “I know-- well, I would wager that you have some experience with abandonment and… Well, I’m not going to let your boy go through that.” 

 She draws her brows together in thought, considering how perceptive he is, how well he seems to know her after such a short time. She turns around to face him, seeing just how close he truly is to her, and cocks her head. He reaches behind her to take control of the wheel, bringing himself even closer. “How do you know?” she asks. 

 His smile is small, sad. “I’m no stranger to a lost soul.” 

 “Are you accusing me of being a lost soul?” she asks in a tone as soft as his own. 

 “Perhaps I'm simply trying to tell you that I understand.” 

 With a hum, she says, “what are you saying, Captain? Are we kindred spirits?” 

 He cracks a brilliant smile, his eyes crinkling and glimmering in the moonlight, shining like the stars above them. “Aye, I suppose we are.”

 She’s so calm with him. It feels wrong to let herself relax into his hold, to let herself enjoy the feeling of his chest vibrating against hers as he speaks. She should be focusing on getting home, on getting to Henry and protecting him from Regina. Not fantasizing about a pirate she thought was fictional. 

 But then he leans closer to her, his hook on the wheel and his hand reaching up to cup her cheek, and she doesn't even try to stop herself from pressing onto her toes and capturing his lips in a slow yet chaste kiss. He doesn’t hesitate to kiss her back, and she feels warmth flitting through her and settling in the deepest depths of her center until he’s tangling his fingers in her hair and getting his rings caught in the strands.

 She breathes out a soft giggle at the sharp tug, pulling from him and attempting to detangle herself from him. “Apologies, my darling,” he practically purrs against her mouth. 

 “It’s okay,” she whispers, planting her forehead against his and trying to catch her breath. They had only kissed for a second, but their close proximity and the raw, ardent nature of his observations weigh heavily between them and she feels something. 

 He kisses her lips again, one, twice, three times, before saying, “time for dinner.” 

 She groans and rolls her eyes. “Not more of that tack shit is it?” 

 He laughs heartily and says, “tonight you’ll get some more jerked meat, darling. Perhaps some rum to chase it down.” 

 “I’d love some rum.” 

 With a smirk, he steps back slightly and reaches his hand into his coat, taking out a flask and passing it to her, but not before removing the cork with his teeth and popping it onto the ground. She takes it happily from him, smirking back and stuffing the feeling of warmth that traces through her as deeply as she can. 

 ~~~~

 The ship is enchanted in several ways, she realizes. Hook told her that it’s impossible to damage her, but she’s discovered other quirks as well. For one, it’s never cold. Not only is his cabin toasty warm, as if it’s well insulated, but  the rest of the ship is comfortable as well. For another, although it rained last night and the deck should have been slick, it was completely dry. And now, music is playing, and she can’t for the life of her find the source. 

 The wind is whipping but the lanterns stay lit, maybe another side effect of the enchantment, and the crew lounges happily on the deck, enjoying their rum and their opportunity to relax. Hook leans against the ladder that leads to the helm, and she can’t help but stare through her lashes at his confident posture as he laughs at the crewmen dancing wildly. 

 They shout boisterously as a slower, more romantic song replaces the shanties, laughing and hollering at their Captain until he stands and holds up his hands in defeat, shaking his head and smiling. She isn’t sure what they’re all talking about, but she’s excited to see him do what he seems so adamant to avoid. 

 That is, until he comes up to her and holds out his hand, offering her a small, shy smile in replacement of the smirk she was expecting. “Dance with me, Swan?” 

 “Dance with you?” she asks in outrage. “I can’t dance!” 

 “Aye, another thing you haven’t had the opportunity to learn, I’m sure, but I happen to be a brilliant teacher.” 

 “You’re ridiculous,” she accuses, although she can’t deny the grin splitting her face that matches his. “Are you saying you know how to dance to this?”

 He takes her hand with a salacious smirk and practically drags her to the middle of the deck, placing his own on her hip. “It’s called a waltz,” he tells her, “and there’s only one rule.” She feels a heat radiating off of herself that’s different from anything she’s felt before, as if a light is glowing from her skin and hair as he spins her. “Pick a partner who knows what they’re doing.” 

 She’s breathless, and every fear and worry she's had since she went through that damn portal has evaporated out of her pores and into the salty sea air. He holds her closer, likely forgoing the proper form they were practicing, and she melts into him. 

 “You’re glowing, darling,” he murmurs, his lips grazing against her ear lobe in a way that makes her shiver. She looks down at her hands and sees the soft golden glow he must be referring to and gasps, noting it fading. “Relax, love, it’s very fitting. I’m assuming this hasn’t ever happened in the Land Without Magic.”

 “No,” she says thoughtfully. “It wouldn’t have worked anyway until after—” She cuts herself off, careful not to reveal the truth; that Gold brought magic back to Storybrooke after the curse broke. Then she stops to think… is this magic?

 “After what?” he interrupts her thoughts.

 She clears her throat. “Uh, after I broke the curse.” 

 “The one the Queen cast? You broke it?” he asks, suddenly serious rather than warm and flirtatious. She wonders how he would’ve known about that, but figures he must’ve been a child when it was originally cast; maybe he remembers. 

 “Yeah.” She feels guilty lying to him. Maybe she shouldn’t. Maybe she should just continue to savor the feeling of his hand running along her back as he pulls her closer. As much as she’s been enjoying their time together, she reminds herself that she needs him to get home, and she’ll need to do whatever it takes for their plan to take fruition. 

 ~~~~

 The next afternoon, Emma lounges in the Captain’s bed and reads one of the many diaries recounting his adventures. After they danced the night away, they came back to his room and she expressed interest in hearing about his journeys between kisses and soft touches. He stood and retrieved a leather bound book, handing it to her and telling her that she’s always welcome to his stories, and that he’ll happily tell her whatever she wants to know. She read until she fell asleep, with him sleeping soundly on the floor beside her, protectively positioned between her and the door.

 She knows she’s behaving ridiculously. She can’t possibly let whatever is going on between them continue once they make landfall. But it isn’t like she can accomplish anything while they’re out at sea, so she lets herself indulge in his soft lips and deep eyes and profound declarations in the meantime, making a promise to herself to let him go once they land. 

 She hears a commotion above deck and starts a bit, putting the book down on the bed and standing. Can pirates be attacked by other pirates? Certainly that’s a thing. She straightens the black linen shirt as she stands, the one Hook let her borrow while her clothes are being washed, tucking it more neatly into her jeans, and makes her way towards the door, pressing her ear to the wood and listening closely for trouble. She hears rustling and shouting, and her heart begins to race. It pounds harder in her chest when she hears a distinct set of footsteps making its way towards the door she’s pressed to. 

 When she hears the footsteps grow too close for comfort, she turns and presses her back to the door in hopes of blocking out an intruder. They try to push it open and grunt in surprise when it only moves a bit, and she plants her feet more firmly into the floor. Her panic subsides, though, when she hears a cocky chuckle. “Swan?” he calls through the door. “Are you playing hard to get?” 

 She breathes a sigh of relief when she hears his voice, moving from the door and carefully opening it just a crack to peek her head out. “What’s going on?” 

 He smirks, of course, and says, “We’re docking, love. What's the matter?” 

 “I thought… I dont know, I thought something was wrong.” 

 He shakes his head and squeezes by her to enter the room, shutting the door behind him and touching her arm gently. “Nothing’s wrong, darling. All is going to plan.” She doesn't miss the way his eyes trail down her body, slowly and obviously taking in the sight of her.

 “Stop looking at me like that,” she insists, pulling the shirt closed some more and hugging her body with her arms. 

 “I’m simply admiring the way my shirt fits you, Swan,” he smirks. “You wear it much better than I do.” 

 “Whatever,” she rolls her eyes. “What’s the plan?” 

 He chuckles and moves towards the table, stopping to pick up the book she was reading and putting it away. “The crew is docking us now, and then we’ll go to find the compass and then meet up with our colleague. Shouldn't be long before you're home.” 

 She nods, taking a calming breath at the anticipation of finally getting home. He’s told her the plan: they need to find a compass from a giant’s lair, but to do that, they first need to climb a beanstalk. She isn't sure what that will entail, and she isn't really excited to find out, but she’ll do what she has to to get back to her son. 

 Her shirt hasn’t dried yet. Hook packs it in his satchel so that she doesn’t leave it behind, but now she’s stuck wearing his flowy blouse with her jacket over top of it. He keeps checking her out, and she isn't sure how she feels about it. She ignores the blush and the heat that floods through her. 

 The port they landed at is fairly run down and not very heavily populated, which she thinks is a good thing-- she would stick out like a sore thumb in her jeans and leather jacket, but she sure as hell isn't hiking through a forest in one of those damn dresses. 

 They trek for hours, Hook filling the time with more stories that leave her with a sense of wanderlust. She grew up an orphan, traveling from foster home to foster home, and she always longed for a place to settle down. She’s never found herself wishing to travel the world, because she never had a home to come back to, but hearing his stories change things for her. 

 He’s an incredible storyteller. Sometimes it’s clear that he embellishes some events to make them more dramatic, but everything he tells her is the truth despite the fact that it sounds so unbelievable. It seems he’s spent years pillaging and plundering, and while she certainly can't condone all of his actions, it also seems like he’s spent much of his time enjoying the different realms he’s explored. He tells her so many stories that she isn't sure how he could fit all of these adventures into one lifetime. 

 “Can I ask you something?” she finally asks when she can make sense of his life no longer. 

 “Perhaps,” he smirks. 

 She carries on despite his playfulness. “How old are you?” 

 “Physically? Or literally?” 

 She snorts, bumping her shoulder against his at his joke, but falters when she realizes he isn't joking. She stares up at him, pausing her steps for a moment, and says, “uh, literally? I guess?” 

 “Around 250.” 

 “What?” she chokes. 

 He hums. “Aye, I’ve recently counted and I believe I’ve been on this plane for about 250 years.” 

 She’s speechless, blinking at him but unable to make her voice work. Shaking her head, she asks, “how?” 

 “Well, after my run in with the Dark One, I spent some time in Neverland. You see, the Dark One is immortal, so I needed to stay alive long enough to find a way to get my revenge. Once I found it, I came back for a few years, and then the most recent curse essentially paused time, so I didn't age again. So, I estimate around 250 years.”

 With her mouth still agape, she says, “I thought you were, like… 30.” 

 “Why thank you,” he smirks. “Physically, I’m around 36, I believe, so I’ll take that as a compliment.” 

 “So when the curse was cast, you were… the same age you are now?”

 “Is that not how it worked in the Land Without Magic? I was under the impression that time would stand still.” 

 She narrows her eyes, wondering how he heard such details about the curse, and managed to avoid it, but chalking it up to his piracy. “No, that’s how it worked.” 

 “And how old are you, then?” 

 “28,” she says without thinking, though perhaps she should have kept that a secret if she doesn’t want him to know that she’s the Savior. She can see the gears in his head turning, although he says nothing else and seeks no further clarification. 

 They spend the remainder of the trip talking about Neverland, which is apparently much different from how Barrie described. He tells her of the Lost Boys and how terrifying they were, even to a fearsome and relentless crew of pirates. While they walk, they encounter some branches in the path and he cuts them down, and she notices a tattoo on his inner forearm that catches her attention. 

 “Who’s Milah?” she asks, her voice just loud enough to be heard over the sounds of the forest. 

 He stills but doesnt turn back towards her when he asks, “pardon?” 

 “Milah, on the tattoo?” 

 His shoulders fall and he clears his throat. “Someone from long ago.” 

 “Where is she?” 

 “She’s gone.” His tone is dismissive. Pained. 

 She thinks of the first day, once she was awake, when she explored his cabin in secret before she trusted him and found a sketch of a stunning woman with thick, curly hair and soft, kind eyes. “Gold,” she says as the pieces fall into place, and he turns to face her. “Rumplestiltskin. He took more than your hand from you, didn’t he?” she asks softly. “That’s why you want to kill him.” 

 She hasn’t seen him look this broken in the few days she’s known him. The timeline starts to put itself together in her mind and she realizes he’s spent almost 220 years lying in wait to avenge this woman’s death. “You're quite perceptive,” he finally says. 

 The guilt is eating away at her again. How can she go on with him, convinced he has a chance to kill the Dark One, when she knows how hurt he is? What kind of a person is she becoming? 

 One who will do anything for her son, she reminds herself. 

 They’re silent for the rest of the trek. 

 ~~~~

 She nearly slipped off the damn beanstalk. She wasn’t listening to him, his cocky attitude back in full force and irritating the hell out of her, so she grabbed a loose branch and it snapped. She plummeted, thought for certain she was going to die, until it stopped suddenly and he had his hook in the collar of her jacket. 

 “You should listen to your Captain,” he tells her, and she rolls her eyes, but internally she knows he’s right. He pulls her up close to him, pressing her front against the beanstalk and his body to her back. “Alright?” he asks, his lips brushing her ear.

 “I’m fine,” she responds, and she takes a shaky breath. 

 “Almost to the top, love,” he assures her, breaking away once she feels her shakiness subsiding. “Try that one,” he suggests, gesturing for a different handhold.

 When they reach the top, he pulls out his flask and she scoffs at his need for a drink, but then realizes she could use some herself. Only he isn’t using it for a drink, he’s taking her hand in his and saying, “let me help.” 

 “What are you--” she starts, and then he’s pouring the rum over a cut on her hand and she’s shouting at the sting. “What the hell!”

 “A bloody waste, I know. But I'll not have you losing a hand to infection.” 

 “Hook,” she starts, but he cuts her off. 

 “Haven't you learned to listen to your Captain, love?”

 She gives him an incredulous look, but when he raises his brows in quick succession, she can't help but to grin at him and roll her eyes. She’s about to say something snarky and brush him off, but then he’s wrapping her cut hand in a scarf and biting down on it so he can tighten it one-handed, not breaking eye contact with her. “Fuck,” she breathes at the sight, and then blushes fiercely. 

 He smirks and chuckles deeply, leaning in close to her and stealing a quick kiss before he places his hook on the small of her back and leads her to the castle's entrance. 

 “The last of the giants died ages ago, so we should be safe, save for any other intruders. All we have to do is find the compass and we’re homeward bound.”

 She finds it difficult to admit to herself how much fun she has as they dig through the treasure room, searching for the compass and joking around with each other as they do. Hook pilfers a few pieces of gold, but she can’t exactly blame him; he is a pirate, after all. He finds a small broach, a golden rose, and presents it to her with flair and grandeur, bowing deeply as he holds it out to her and kissing her hand when she accepts it. “You're ridiculous,” she accuses through a laugh. 

 They finally find the compass after what feels like hours, but the time passes painlessly. He helps her up onto the platform it sits on, humming amorously when her ass comes into his view, and she kicks his shoulder lightly with a laugh. 

 It’s as they’re wandering through the castle, slowly making their way back towards the beanstalk, when he says, “I must say, Swan, I’m looking forward to seeing where you spent the last 28 years,” and she feels that guilt bubbling up again. He isn’t excited to get to Storybrooke to kill Gold, he’s looking forward to seeing where she’s from. It makes her think of why he agreed to help her in the first place. It makes her think of his lost love, of Milah, and she feels as if she’s taking away his chance of avenging her. 

 “Hook,” she says hesitantly before they leave the treasure room. “There's something you need to know.” 

 “What’s that, love?” he asks gently, as if she can do no wrong, and the guilt is flooding her now. 

 She swallows thickly and takes a breath before admitting, “I know that you want to come with me to Storybrooke to kill Gold because you think there's no magic there, but… that isn't true.” 

 He stills, turning to face her fully and drawing his brows close together pensively, angrily. “There’s magic? In the Land Without Magic?” 

 She nods nervously. “After the curse broke, he brought magic back.”

 He scoffs, shaking his head and turning to pace in agitation. “Damn you, Regina,” he says under his breath. “And you knew, all this time?” 

 Her ears practically perk up, her heart starting to race again. “Did you say Regina?” 

 “Aye,” he practically spits. “The witch who said there would be no magic. Bloody charlatan.” 

 “What do you mean?” she asks, horrified to hear him talking about someone he shouldn't even know. 

 “I mean I was promised a land without magic in which to slay the bloody crocodile, and here you are telling me that isn’t the case. How am I meant to get my revenge now? Cora should've seen this coming. She bloody well knows her better than most.” 

 “Who the hell is Cora?” she asks firmly, backing away from him. “I thought that was the daughter of the lady you're working with?” 

 He runs his hand along his face and shakes his head. “I said Cora is the woman we’re working with. She’s looking for her daughter in your Storybrooke. Regina.” 

 She feels her face going white, her blood running cold and her eyes bugging out of her head. “Cora is… Regina’s mother? You know Regina?” 

 “Aye, bloody fraud has already betrayed me once,” he huffs, obviously still irritated. “I’m sorry, love, I don't mean to take out my frustrations on you, I just-- what are you doing?” 

 He notices her take the small dagger from the sheath he gave her earlier, pointing it at him and she holds the compass firmly in her other hand. “Don’t come any closer.” 

 “Swan? What are you doing?” She reaches behind her to tuck the compass in her back pocket; her sheriff’s pistol may have been damaged beyond repair by the ocean waves, but the cuffs are still fully functional. She takes in her surroundings quickly and then rushes to him, locking his wrist to the cage beside him without thinking her actions through and backing away. “What are you doing?!”

 “Hook, I…” she sighs. “I can’t--” 

 “Emma, look at me,” he insists. “Have I told you a lie?” 

 “You didn't tell me the truth; you’re working with Regina’s mother!”

 “How was I to know that was a problem for you?! I told you who we’re working with.”

 “Not really! Regina is dangerous, she wants to take Henry away from me! Do you know how bad it would be if her mother was there to help her?!” 

 “I will help you, Emma. You won't have to go through this alone; you won't abandon Henry like you were abandoned. Let me go and we can figure this out.” 

 “If Regina wanted me dead, Cora probably does too.” 

 “Wanted you dead?” he murmurs in thought. He cocks his head, confused, and ponders her claim. “Who are you?” 

 She shakes her head. “I can’t take the chance that I’m wrong about you.” 

 “Swan,” he calls after her as she turns around. “Swan!” She feels her eyes burning as she goes towards the beanstalk, but doesn’t allow the tears to fall.

Memories on ice

The four moments you and Steve shared over the frozen lovers lake

This is a part two of “Gliding hearts meet in the dark”

Taglist @acxdty @smoltrashcanfuk

December 21st 1988

The cold Hawkins air was nipping at my skin , I decided to wait on the front porch for my boyfriend of four years to pick me up for our traditional skate around lovers lake. At first the idea of waiting outside seemed good until I started to feel my noise turn red like Rudolph’s witch happened to be the Movie El had discovered this year. I almost went back inside before seeing the headlights of a familiar maroon BMW. I grabbed my skates and jumped into the snow before running into my boyfriend’s warm and toasty car. As I entered the vehicular he asked “have you been standing out there long” I shrugged it off seeing the flowers in the backseat “are those for me” he nodded , leaning back to reach them. Handing them to me , I noticed something different Steve had always given me white rose before we went ice skating, but this time there were red. I again shrugged it off pecking his warm lips before we began our adventure.

As we arrived to the frozen lake , I still couldn’t help but think about why the roses were red instead of white. My thoughts were interrupted my Steve opening the passenger side door for me , and began holding out his hand. A few minutes of skating Steve erupted the peaceful sounds of the chilly wind blowing by saying. “Are you okay” I nodded , he then added “about the roses , I didn’t know of you liked them or-“ I spoke up saying “yeah” I said “I loved them , they were just different” he paused his skating saying “different” I continued skating around him Saying “yeah , it’s just you usually don’t give me red ones”. He sighed saying “you noticed” I nodded still skating saying “of course I noticed , it isn’t really a big deal is it”. He then went quiet and began muttering something about this being a good time. His sudden silence caught my attention, as I turned I became face to face with Steve on his knee. Then all of the sudden it happened again I had fallen on my ass , all over again and like always Steve was there to say “are you okay” I almost couldn’t catch my breath before stuttering out “fine , just shocked” he chuckled , while lifting me up saying “shocked you fell or shocked or shock I proposed” I released the hand from my lower back saying. “Both , I guess” he agin chuckled saying “really , it shocked you” I nodded again before he added “ I thought you would be able to tell by the roses” I then looked up seeing the mischievous grin on his face that I loved. He then said “can I ask again or our you gonna fall on your ass”, I nodded as he got on his knee asking while slowly opening the ring box “Y/n Ym/n Hopper , will you-“ I quickly interrupted with saying “yes” a million times and him rolling his eyes knowing there was no damn way I was letting him finish. I then began our second tradition which was making out with my boyfriend , I mean fiancé on Lovers lake.

December 7th 1989

It was an even colder winter than last and I was currently digging around my closet for my skates. After Steve and I got married in the spring we moved into an apartment in town , I continued digging for my skates even though I knew I wouldn’t be skating since last week I had gotten some very exciting news and skating was one of the big no no’s. I grabbed my skates after finding them and threw them into the bag with an early Christmas gift for Steve , who entered the room saying “ready” I nodded trying to keep a lid on my secret knowing at any moment I could blurt it out to him.

After getting out of car and placing my red roses in the seat , Steve began putting his skates on he looked at me noticing I wasn’t saying “ not falling over tonight” I chuckled saying. “No , I got new skates but there too small” he shrugged saying “what new skates” I then pulled out the small silver gift box handing it to him. He smiled assuming it was an early Christmas gift , which it was just one he probably wasn’t expecting. After fiddling with the wrapping paper he pulled out a small pair of ice skates , saying “ yeah , these definitely aren’t going to fit you” I nodded saying “nope” he then said “wow there small , what do think there for” I sighed almost not believe him but before I could tell him , he spoke up saying “well grab your old ones let’s go”. I pulled his arm saying “I can’t” he shook his head saying “if your afraid your gonna fall-“ I again sighed saying “the little pair of skates are for the baby , the baby I’m having , I’m pregnant Steve”. His face fell in shock saying “your pregnant” I nodded before he engaufled me into the biggest hug and leaned down to reveal my bare stomach to the cold air. I looked down seeing tears in his eyes , as he stood up again pecking my face with kisses and “I love you’s” and in that moment all I needed was my husband and this baby to be happy , or babies....................

December 24rd 1995

It had been nearing almost 6 years since you and Steve had taken you skate on Lovers lake , but you had the perfect excuse. You had five year old twins , yep after your first sonogram the doctor found not one but two heartbeats. They were both boy with Steve’s fluffy brown hair sticking Out of both directions and your eyes, perfect combination. Tonight was the night you had been waiting for taking Josh and Alex (those are there names) and you couldn’t be more excited , also you had a pregnancy test on your bathroom counter you hadn’t looked at yet , since your so busy. “Do we have to go mama” Josh said tugging on my arm since he was a little more closer to me , “Mama we can’t go , we have to go to sleep for Santa” Alex said pulling on my other arm. “Boys , let your mom go” Steve said meaning he was home from work , I quickly threw the pregnancy test into one of the drawers , knowing I couldn’t be pregnant , right. Walking back into the livingroom to see Steve standing in his police uniform with a blue and green bag in his hand , placing it on the dinning room table saying. “Alex , Josh come here” a few minutes later and no Pitter patter of feet coming down the stairs , Steve again said “Alexander Robert Harrington and Joshua Micheal Harrington , come here please” I walked into the dinning room to Greet my husband saying “ hi honey , how was your day” before I could kiss his cheek I felt two figures run into my legs. Until they realized there were presents involved , as soon as the released me from the grip I went back to looking for my skates , which for some reason were stuffed into the back of a hall closet behind a nail ridden baseball bat. I then reminded myself to ask Steve about that later , returning to the Living room to see Steve picking up tissue paper and the boys trying on there skates. “Dad when I try out for hockey , can I where these” Alex said gesturing towards his skates since he was the more athletic out of both the boys while Josh was more interested in being close to me. Which I didn’t mind at all , Steve nodded saying “sure buddy” before he walked up the stairs to change he gave me a quick peck on the lips that was interrupted by Josh pulling on my arm saying “mom , can we bring hot chocolate with us” I pulled away from Steve saying “yes , Joshie , come on” I said picking him up a placing him on my hip saying “let’s go make some” I then entered the kitchen carrying Josh and having Alex behind me.

After packing the Boys in the BMW , I opened the passenger side door I noticed a bouquet of red roses sitting on the seat. Buckling my seatbelt I leaned over the console to kiss Steve , pulling away after hearing the fake vomiting noises from the boys (Dustin taught them that) “you remembered” I said , he nodded saying “how could I forget” our moment was interrupted by “can we go now” I looked into the backseat to see Josh and Alex making the same face that Steve makes when he’s being impatient , Steve nodded before pulling out of the driveway.

Pulling in front of the beautifully frozen lake , it almost looked like it hadn’t changed even though Steve and I had changed the beautiful frozen water in front of us stood timeless. After the boys many complaints of the cold and running out of hot chocolate , we were on the ice. A few minutes into skating Steve skated next to me saying “I think , out of all the times we’ve come out here , this is my favorite” I nodded in agreement saying “I think your right” we then watched as our two boys skate together , seeing there smiles , hearing there laughs before hearing Steve say. “I want another one” before I could answer he added “I mean I love the boys but there almost out of kindergarten and-“ I interrupted Steve by saying “I think I’m pregnant” his jaw dropped in shock saying “you think” I shrugged saying “I took a test but I didn’t check yet” he nodded before saying. “Boys let’s go , we gotta go to sleep before Santa comes” I sighed walking to the car with the boys in tow. Knowing it was another moment at Lovers lake I wouldn’t forget.

December 25th 2019

It had been 34 years since and I had my first kiss with Steve at lovers lake , and we still made it our tradition to go out there every year no matter how much older we were getting , even though we both didn’t like to admit it. I entered the livingroom seeing Steve fiddling with his phone saying “Alex didn’t text me back about the kids” I nodded saying “I haven’t heard from Josh either , besides he’s twenty nine years old , he’s got a lot going on”. He sighed saying “he could still remember to text back his dad” I again sighed saying “ I know sweatheart , are you ready to go” he nodded saying “you don’t think we’re too old to go”. I shook my head saying “I’m not old , neither our you” he nodded leaving his place on the couch saying “Okay , don’t tell your grandchildren that” I rolled my eyes giving him a light smack on the arm. He began putting on his jacket before saying “what about gifts” I grabbed my skates saying “bring them” he again nodded picking up the few gifts we had under the tree , since it was only the two of us.

Sitting on the BMW that was biting dust I began lacing my skate , before Steve putting a small gift in front of me saying “open it”. I nodded removing the tissue paper to find a small stack of paper , “what’s this” I said fiddling thru the papers. He sighed saying Mr. Martins passed away” I nodded knowing that Mr. Martins was the grounds keep who owned the lake. He then added “his kids are selling the lake , I think there gonna drain it , maybe put some houses out here”. I couldn’t help but become teary eyed thinking of losing our special spot , until Steve added “So I bought it” I then looked over still seeing his mischievous grin saying. “You bought it” he nodded saying “see that” he then pointed towards a plot of land , I nodded as his said. “That’s where were gonna build our house” I was in so much shock , I almost fell but this time Steve caught me saying “Merry Christmas Y/n” I nodded saying “Merry Christmas Steve” before I could place my lips could touch his , his phone buzzed catching his attention. He pulled out his phone , before sighing and handing me his phone. It was a text from our daughter Amy , it was a sonogram saying June 2020. I sighed before kissing my husband knowing our lives were about to get more interesting and we wouldn’t change it for the world , and that next year I would have my whole family there at my special spot.

4 Cool Gifts for the Stylish, Athletic Man

It’s time to get on the ball and pick out the perfect holiday gifts for the man in your life. If he’s casually cool and enjoys a good workout, you can always depend on tried-and-true fitness gear that suits his style and supports his goals. From high-performance workout gear to athleisure, there are plenty of practical ideas that can help him level up this holiday season. From 90s windbreakers to comfy hoodies, let’s look at some fresh apparel and shoes he’s sure to rock this season.

Cotton Fleece Hoodies Is there anything better than a comfy hoodie that fits just right? A classic solid-colored hoodie, whether it’s a bright yellow hue or a subdued gray (or any number of colors), is considered an everyday essential for many guys. It keeps him toasty while shooting hoops, warming up at the gym or chilling on the couch. The point is, stylish hoodies are perfect for fitness activities and downtime alike, making them a versatile gift. Would he prefer a pullover with a cozy kangaroo pocket on the front or a zip-up with two open hand pockets? Either style can provide the clean, no-fuss design you’re looking for. Vintage Kicks If he loves a good throwback to the ’80s courts, pick out a timeless pair of leather basketball shoes. This sneaker style will always get him compliments. As a nod to the ‘80s, take a look at a pair of court-inspired kicks from a famous athletics brand. He can easily kick around in them while wearing jeans, joggers or gym shorts. Don’t underestimate the simplicity of a classic sneaker and how it can elevate his overall wardrobe. Throwback Jackets Along the same vintage theme, 90s windbreakers and retro track jackets offer a great nostalgic vibe. These classic nylon windbreakers can handle the elements when he hits the streets. They also make for an easy transition layer after a good sweat sesh. And they simply have that old-school swagger that’s hard to deny. The elastic cuffs and hem, tall collar, zip pockets and smooth nylon weave give 90s windbreakers and classic jackets their superpowers. Joggers or Track Pants Just like a solid hoodie, he probably also needs an excellent pair of track pants or joggers that can handle the gym, the track and anywhere he goes. He needs a pair that moves with him and features moisture-wicking technology to keep him dry through tough sets or comfortable through the day. A flexible weave is one of the features that make men’s workout joggers perfect for a HIIT workout or out on the street. While you’re shopping online, you could also replenish his sock drawer with tech-savvy crew socks or low-cut socks, whichever he wears most often, and snag a cute knit beanie while you’re at it. Make it a holiday with stylish, practical and high-performance gear he’ll love to wear. About Reebok Your active lifestyle is totally unique to you, and Reebok is here to support your every move.

Dresses for women and much more. Here's how you choose your favorite

The Women's jumpsuits are eye-catching, inexpensive, and comfortable, but that isn't the only reason they've swept the fashion world. For a variety of reasons, some of which may not be obvious to men, women have begun accumulating one-piece rompers and jumpsuits. In fact, males frequently say that they prefer their girlfriends and spouses to wear dresses rather than rompers, but women appear to be oblivious to their criticisms and continue to wear their preferred jumpsuits regardless.

 Regardless of what others say, here are hidden reasons why women buy women's jumpsuits online.

 Jumpsuits for formal occasions

 A jumpsuit is an unusual but stylish alternative for formal occasions. Gowns can be bulky, and pantsuits are more appropriate for the office, but a jumpsuit offers a good balance of style and ease. You can dress up a jumpsuit to make it look formal and elegant, whether you're attending an outdoor wedding or a classy cocktail party. While figure-flattering black will always be a safe pick, don't be afraid to go out with bright jewel tones and neutrals like white and navy. With the correct materials, accessories, and embellishments, such as glittering sequins, rich velvet, edgy leather, and smooth satin, you can decorate a jumpsuit to blend sophistication and flare. A jumpsuit with a sensual plunging neckline and long sleeves with studs or beads embroidered in the design will add a little oomph to your ensemble.

 Jumpsuits for Business Casual

 Professional women who wish to wear fashionable and chic clothing to work will love the business casual jumpsuit. When it comes to a business professional image, you should choose apparel with a more conservative design and color palette. Begin with a women's jumpsuit in brown or black with a high neckline. Then, add a work-appropriate jacket and shoes, such as a blazer with heels, to complete the look. Simple jewelry and accessories complete this elegant look.

 Jumpsuits for the Winter

 A winter jumpsuit is a great elegant alternative when it comes to selecting the ideal clothes for colder weather. These one-piece costumes are ideal for layering, are practical for the cold, and are highly stylish. In the winter, a parka or asymmetrical wrap coat will keep you toasty while wearing a jumpsuit. For added warmth and comfort, layer a thick knit sweater or a button-up shirt underneath. Layer with long sleeves or leggings as needed, and finish with weather-appropriate footwear. If you want to accessorize, a scarf and earmuffs will keep you warm and fashionable.

 Jumpsuit in black

 A black jumpsuit is a timeless look for any occasion. A black jumpsuit is easy to style to match the dress code of a casual, business casual, or semi-formal occasion because it is always fashionable and classy. Wear a simple piece with a denim jacket and shoes or flats for a laid-back style. A short-sleeve or tank top jumpsuit with stud earrings, shoes, and a leather backpack is another laid-back stunning look.

 Whether jumpsuits or dresses for women, you know you will get many options at SUMM COLLECTIONS. So don't, miss this opportunity.
