Something we're really proud of here at JAMI is the fact that all of our pieces have been made and manufactured here in the UK. Nowadays it's not easy to look through your wardrobe and find an item that was made so close to home, but JAMI has made that easy for you.

JAMI focuses on the essentials. The soft material provides comfort and the fresh designs provide style. What more could you ask for.

British style has always been praised due to its exhibition of effortless chicness and JAMI plays on it's British strengths. Simple basics like the Tank Vest, Leggings and Long Cami are a perfect foundation to any outfit and are so easily styled.

Not only for uncomplicated stylish outfits, JAMI is highly sought after for Yoga wear as it is extremely comfortable, it washes up amazingly and it doesn't stretch out of shape.

BEACHWEAR | The Tie-Front Cardi

2013-07-29T14:28:00.001+01:00

The Cropped tie-front Cardi is an all-rounder, but we especially like to pair it with swimwear. Walking to and from the pool or beach in your bikini can sometimes feel a little bit overwhelming, so we normally pop on the cardi for a little less exposure.

When you're away on holiday you should be relaxing and taking a break from your everyday troubles. One thing we love about chilling in the sun is the fact that we don't have to wear a full face of makeup.

Here's what's in our holiday makeup bag:

The sun is starting to make an appearance which means we can start to dress summer appropriate. For those warm days that you don't want to bare all, why not go for a maxi dress. A maxi is appropriate for all occasions and gives off the carefree summer vibe. We paired ours with a trilby and some statement jewellery for an added something something.

TREND SPOTTING | Work It

2013-05-06T12:00:00.000+01:00

We are always talking about JAMI's versatility here on the blog but that's because we speak the truth! Many ladies wear JAMI to work as it enables them to look and feel good.

Another one of this season's big trends is the Trouser Suit. It's all about the tailoring with this trend, taking a masculine shape and using other items to create a more feminine look.

TREND SPOTTING | White on white

2013-04-29T12:00:00.000+01:00

One of the SS13 trends that we can't wait to try is White on White! There's nothing fresher than seeing an all white outfit, in any season. For spring we would pair our Palazzo Pants with a thin knit jumper and white accessories. Mixing textures like knit and jersey takes an outfit to another level. This outfit would also look lovely with a white Long Cami paired with a white blazer or the Long Sleeved Knot Top.

Have you brave white on white yet? What trend are you excited to try this spring?

RECIPE | DINNER

2013-04-24T12:00:00.000+01:00

We generally try to steer away from carbs at dinner time and stick to veggies and salads. So when we found this recipe on our favourite food blog Deliciously Ella we swooned, and when we tasted it we melted!

This recipe is amazing because it looks and tastes like we're eating pasta but in fact we are eating courgettes! This is definitely a meal we'll be making again!

Serves 2:

For the pasta:

- 2 courgettes

For the sauce:

- 1 ½ avocados

- a large handful of fresh mint leaves

- 12 brazil nuts

- ½ a cup of water

- 2 tablespoons of olive oil

- ½ a lime

- salt to taste

- a dozen chestnut mushrooms

FITSPIRATION

The weather here in the UK isn't the best and it is certainly unpredictable. We like to watch Tone It Ups Youtube videos as they are normally filmed on the beach which helps us to remember that we will get tanned and we will be on the beach this summer!

SNACK TIME

2013-04-16T12:00:00.000+01:00

Most of us out there are snackers, whether we are at the office or on the couch it is difficult to not snack. We say snack away! Just choose the right ones. Here are 5 ideas that we love:

Graze Boxes

Graze boxes are great for a mix up in the snack routine. If you order a box you can eat the snacks throughout the day or even save them up throughout the week. The food is fresh and there is a variety of yummy foods on offer.

Hummus with carrot sticks / wholegrain pitta

Hummus is a delicious dip that can be made at home or bought from the supermarket (go for the low fat option) it can be high in fat but it is mostly heart-healthy unsaturated fat. Also it is high in protein.

Berries & natural yoghurt

Berries are full of fibre which helps you feel full, making you eat less (which is exactly what you want in a snack!) and they are full of antioxidants. Why not take in a bowl of raspberries, strawberries, blueberries and cranberries to work and mix with some natural yoghurt.

Frozen grapes

Something we have been doing for a while is freezing our grapes! Jamie Oliver does it so we thought we'd try it too and we love it. By freezing the grapes the berries become sweeter and also the cold slows you down stopping you from over-eating.

Guacamole and tortilla chips

The avocado is a super food and proof that not all fat is bad for you! Avocados are rich in monounsaturated fat that is easily burned for energy. As well as many other benefits, avocados have been found in lowering your cholesterol. This can either be made at home or can be bought at your local supermarket (again opt for the low fat!)

What do you snack on during the day?

TREND SPOTTING | Statement Trouser

2013-04-15T12:00:00.000+01:00

We love spotting trends and adding JAMI to create the look. A trend we are loving right now is the statement / patterned trouser trend. This trend looks fab with a plain top and blazer or cardigan.

Tie Front Cardi

Long Cami

Trousers | Michael Michael Kors

Shoes | Tory Burch

Double Cami

Blazer | French Connection

Trousers | J. Crew

Shoes | Saint Laurent

S /Sleeved Baggy T

Cardigan | Reiss

Trousers | Chinti and Parker

Shoes | Chloe

Tank Vest

Cardigan | French Connection

Trousers | Jill Sander

Shoes | Repetto

Long Cami

Blazer | Theory

Trousers | J. Crew

Shoes| Jimmy Choo

The key to this trend is to keep it simple. The trousers should be doing all the shouting so the top part should be calm and chic. JAMI works well with this effortlessly cool look!

THIRSTY?

2013-04-09T12:00:00.000+01:00

Water is boring and there are so many other exciting beverages out there that tickle our fancies, but it is so important to be hydrated. You are supposed to drink about 2 litres of water everyday. How many of us can say that we actually do?

That is why the next challenge we are setting is exactly that, drink 2 litres of water a day.

We recently read something interesting:

If you don't drink enough water, then your body begins to store water for you. Therefore when you do start drinking lots of water you need to go to the loo a lot. So you aren't urinating the water you’ve just drank, but the water that your body has been storing. Interesting, no?

A huge tip is to keep a bottle in front of you whether it is on your desk at work, at home or in your bag. This way you can visibly see how much water you have drank throughout the day.

Who's going to accept the challenge? We've already started!

BRA TALK

2013-04-08T12:00:00.000+01:00

One of our lovely readers emailed us recently asking which type and brand of bra we recommend to go under JAMI garments.

We suggest wearing a nude or skin coloured T-Shirt bra to avoid any visibility through the material. Wearing a T-Shirt bra also ensures that there are no lumps and bumps and does not ruin the look of the item you're wearing.

Bras:

Calvin Klein

Freya

It's also very important to make sure you are wearing the correct size bra. Did you know 8 out of 10 women are wearing the wrong size? Isn't that awful! Make sure you have been fitted correctly as ill fitting bras can not only ruin an outfit but also cause damage to your breasts!
