H&M had another “blink and you’ll miss it” collaboration with Versace which went on sale last Thursday. I must admit, I completely forgot about it! So I went on to H&M.com yesterday and bought a few pieces. I had another look today and almost everything was gone, so I guess I was lucky to get what I did since I only ordered yesterday and it had been on sale for more than 24 hours

Here is what I have picked up:

A T Shirt £19.99, pair of jeans £39.99 and a cardigan £34.99. Just under £100. I should get these by next week.

There was a really nice dress-jacket/blazer which looked really nice and I was tempted, but I have not even worn the last one I got from the Versace/H&M collaboration, so I think it would of been a bit of a waste

What did you think of the Versace Cruise collection? Was there any highlights?

I can finally post up my Spain 2012 things! Yeah, more things If you read my blog you will know I already have the Spain home shirt, the techfit home shirt, and both the Spain goalkeeper shirts, and now I can post the other things I have.

There was a delay in me posting them because the jacket I originally ordered was a ladies! I order these from Spain, and there was no indication that this was the women’s version, so I had no idea until it came. I had to contact the company (in Spanish) and organise a return, then returned the jacket and bought the correct mens version.

So, here are the cool things which I got…

The official Spain polo shirt. I love this, and it is smart too, I will wear this, but probably not too much.

Official Spain and Adidas gloves. I wore these the other day, they are nice for the winter, but I probably won’t wear these too much.

Spain captain’s armband. This is just for the memorabilia, I doubt I will wear it, or maybe I will with my Spain Goalkeeper shirts, just like Iker You may remember I have the same armband but a Real Madrid one here.

Finally my lovely, lovely jacket. I love this, and it was worth the wait. It actually cost me a LOT, because I basically had to pay the postage twice, so that was actually around €90. I do love it though, and I imagine I will wear it a fair bit for a long time, so it will be worth it. This jacket actually has a more polyester and waterproof feel to it, other than the womans version which I originally received, I think I actually liked that one better, but I couldn’t wear it, it’s for girls

I really got into Converse last year. These are the pairs which I got last year. Most are the normal trainers, but I also got a pair of hi tops too.

Here are my collection, I have 4 pairs so far, but will get some more this year.

My blue pair are by far my favourite, and the ones I wear most. They are Converse Speciality Ox, which are a slightly different fitting, the green ones are also this style. The red ones are not, and are a slightly tighter and smaller fitting, a little more narrow, but still great.

I am not sure which to buy this year. I have saw some purple ones, and grey ones too which both look really nice. There are also the Comme Des Garcons x Converse style too, which are really cool.

What style of Converse do you recommend for 2012?

So a while back I was talking about the Renford Rejects, and how it would be cool to have a Rejects shirt, but updated for 2011/12. I was deciding which shirt to use as the base, and I finally chose and have made a shirt

The biggest problem is the colour. They used black and purple striped shirts, which I could not get from anywhere. I tried every manufacturer, including the original manufacturer of the shirts they used on the show, and nobody seems to do black and purple stripes…Well the show is 10 years old or so!

So here is what I have come up with…

Hey blog!

Have you heard that today is “black out the Internet” day? It is in protest of the SOPA bill (stop online privacy act) which is in the U.S. which means they want new powers to block (i.e. censor) the Internet, similar to what happens in places like China and Iran. This is of course a bad thing, and would impact everyone, blogs could be hit hard, things like blogger (the free blogging platform from Google which a LOT of fashion blogs use) could be made inaccessible if 1 person were to write something controversial, the same for YouTube and the rest. It would mean that blogs or websites could be taken down if you supply a link to something which could be a suspect website.

It is predominantly the media industries who are supporting this bill, but oddly enough True Religion are also supporting it. It makes me wonder if I want to buy their jeans.

Anyway, today I have had a normal boring day, nothing amazing. I have decided that I will expand my business and do hoodies as well as t-shirts, and I am getting a few samples tomorrow to decide which hoodie I am going to go for as my “base” hoodie, so I am looking forward to that. Don’t be surprised if you see some “custom made” hoodies appearing on my blog

Here is what I wore:

• Ardian Hammond Jacket
• Gant Knit
• Pepe Jeans
• Scarf
• Jaeger Shirt
• Converse Trainers
• (More Pics Below)

Yesterday I bought some Redbull which I forgot to post, here it is, £19 for 24 cans, quite cheap, it is usually just over £1 per can.

Hey blog

What has happened today?

I have had quite a busy day. Work as usual, today I was working on graphics and other web related stuff. I had to make new graphics for t-shirts, and I have bought a mannequin but I don’t like the look of the pics, they don’t look “natural”. So, today I took pics of myself with the t-shirts, and I can edit myself out, which looks much better. The only thing is that it was fucking freezing and had to take the pics outside to get the best light, so I was absolutely freezing!!!

Earlier I went to Costco, I think I saw a player/coach for Gateshead FC; Some guy wearing a Gateshead FC tracksuit with printing on and sponsors printing too; Not a big seller so I guess he has something to do with the club I saw some amazing TVs, including an amazing Samsung LED TV, it was paper thin with the image to almost the very edge of the panel (you could hardly see the frame at the fronti.e. a border) which was over £2300.

I forgot to post the drink I got on Friday night. I have a photo of it on my phone, Sex On The Beach but it had huge chunks of fruit in it. I got it in Popolo, I am starting to like that place

I got my first purchases from H&M spring 2012 today. I bought a couple of shirts and a big pack of socks

Here is what I got:

The shirts are nice, they are only £9.99 each. The socks are £12.99 for a pack of 10. All from H&M.

Maybe it is a sign of getting old, but I now have a certain appreciation for interior design. I would not say that I am completely “into” it, but I do like and appreciate it. We have loads of TV programmes and things dedicated to interior design and homes, I like to see what people do with their homes.

When I went to look at a house to buy a good while back it had a window seat, and I really like the idea of them. They are tranquil, you can chill and watch the world go by while you are reading, watching TV or whatever, they are a cool thing to have.

Here are a few window seats from interior designs, I need one of these

The last one is as much about the location as anything else. What a great view…Imagine just chilling here, amazing!
