Boxing Day 2011 – Sales Anyone?

Posted by Michael on Monday 26th December, 2011

It is boxing day, so that means the sales have begun!

In fact most of the sales started before Christmas even began, but anyway, today is traditionally the day when the sales start.

I have not when out in Newcastle yet, I may do tomorrow, although I might not have to. I have already spent around £460 just online! :o I have bought from Jaeger, Evisu, House of Fraser and Urban Outfitters. When my stuff comes I will of course write about it :)

It has been a hectic day and a crazy day in other places…Someone has been stabbed to death in Oxford Street, London today, in broad daylight! :(

This is quite recent news, I imagine it will be on the news later on TV. Such a shame for this to happen straight after Christmas :(

 

This is in Oxford Street, quite busy?!

Hello lovely blog readers :)

Blackberry Playbook – £169 Bargain For A Tablet

Posted by Michael on Friday 23rd December, 2011

I was having a browse around and saw that the Blackberry Playbook aka Blackberry’s 7″ tablet is now on sale, for a very low price of £169.

They were around £399 when they came out, the same as the iPad, and now you can pick one up from PC World and a few other places for a mere £169!

I think that this is a real bargain. It is a premium tablet, i.e. it is not some crappy one from China or an old one running crappy android 2.3, it was designed to go up against the big boys of the iPad and others; And now, it is less than half the price.

If you want something to use as a handy little web browser, or use it for Twitter/Facebook etc., this is definitely worth the money.

If I had the choice of this or an iPad I would choose the iPad, You cannot really compare since the iPad app store is far better, and it has a bigger screen; However if you want something for under £200 or just like a gadget then you will regreat not buying this :)

 

 

Presents All Wrapped And Ready!

Posted by Michael on Friday 23rd December, 2011

Hey blog!

Well not long for Xmas now :) I have got some money from some people, and I have spent it on a few 3DS games for my Nintendo 3DS. I do not use it much, do not play games much in fact, but the games I have got will be fun and waste away a few hours when I am bored.

 

WWE Allstars – I do not like WWE or wrestling, but I used to as a kid when it was WWF. This has all the old characters from when I used to watch it, like Ultimate Warrior, Hulk Hogan, Macho Man etc. and it is more of an arcade game, so it will be button bashing fun.

Mario Kart – Finally another Mario Kart and for the 3DS. One of the best games Nintendo has ever done, I can’t wait to play it.

Super Mario Land 3D – I don’t think you will ever get better than Super Mario Bros. and Mario 1 and 3, but it is always good to play a Mario game, and this is 3D so will be interesting.

I have wrapped all my presents up and they are ready for Santa :mrgreen: I hate wrapping things up, but I am getting better at it actually :P I have bought lots of things this year so lots to wrap up. I was gonna do a pixelated picture of what I have bought, but changed my mind.

Here are the things I have wrapped.

 

I went for a red theme for the paper as you can see ;)

 

iPad Fashion Cases, Sleeves And Covers 2011/12

Posted by Michael on Thursday 22nd December, 2011

Christmas is fast approaching, and many people will get an iPad, or already have an iPad and may want a case. I have had a search around and found some really cool cases. The iPad is a fashion accessory as much as anything else, so wrapping it up in a cool fashionable case is the only way to go. It is hard to find lots of designer cases all under one roof, so I have compiled a few cases which I like, with a variety of price tags.

One thing which I am unsure of is how much do you spend on a case? An iPad will set you back at least £400, so is spending £300 on a case a silly idea? You can decide, I will just show you what is currently on offer at the moment.

The first case I have to write about is in fact not a fashion case, but a very cool one non the less. It is called a G-Form Extreme case, and is made of special materials. It is soft, lightweight and flexable, but has proven to be one of the most durable and tough cases which you can buy.

It has been tested and showed off a lot with its amazing strength; The case is said to have properties which change, so it is soft and flexable but when impact is made it becomes rigid and tough and can withstand quite a lot, including a bowling ball dropped on it. Check out this test below!

Quite impressive! :) If you are scared about dropping your beloved iPad on the floor or down the stairs it looks like this is the case for you, it looks pretty cool too.

It is currently available on pre-order for £70 in most places, and can be pre-ordered on Amazon and Firebox. Amazon release date is 15th January 2012. It does come in a variety of colours like black which is above, and yellow.

Now for the fashion cases…

 

  1. Mulberry case – Brown leather case, cool stitching and suede interior. £375 from MR Porter
  2. Louis Vuitton – One of the most recognisable brands out there, the traditional LV patterned design will give your iPad some high-end fashion looks. £255 from Louis Vuitton
  3. Ralph Lauren black leather case. nice clean design with front emblunm £125 from John Lewis
  4. Marc Jacobs – One of my favourite designs, bright blue so it will stand out a mile away, and it looks cool too. Embossed lettering throughout the case design with Marc by Marc Jacobs logo. £45 from MR Porter.
  5. Ted Baker Case – with a zip fastening and a sleeve to store extra swag. £32 from Nordstrom
  6. Mulberry Sleeve – Black leather sleeve, very simple and sleek design. £150 from John Lewis
  7. Dolce And Gabbana – D&G designer iPad case, with zipped front and opening. £335 from Luisaviaroma.com
  8. Gucci Case – Available in brown or black leather, this case has the Gucci diamond leather pattern embossed throughout and comes with an interior compartment. £325 from MR Porter.

My favourite has to be the Marc Jacobs case for the cool design, or if I were going for a more traditional contemporary look the Gucci case.

 

Here To Bring Tropical Summer Fashion To Your Winter

Posted by Michael on Wednesday 21st December, 2011

I was wearing my hoodie today since it is winter and freezing, but I needed a t-shirt to wear under it. Now I am not outside I don’t need it, and this is the t-shirt I chose to wear…

 

haha! :D

Probably the most summer looking t-shirt which I have :mrgreen: Versace for H&M T-shirt.

Earlier today I watched some of my blu rays; Just Go With It and Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes. Just Go With It is a really funny film. I thought it would be an averagely funny film, something to watch as a one-off but in fact it was really funny with a good story and I wouldn’t mind watching it again. Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes was really good as I expected, really good story as well as the sound and visuals being amazing. If you have seen neither both are worth a watch.

 I am gonna read a few blogs then it is bed time for me, I can’t believe how late it is already, that is what watching 2 films back-to-back does to your night I guess :P

Work Over For 2011

Posted by Michael on Wednesday 21st December, 2011

WOOHOO! :mrgreen:

No more work for me in 2011! That is amazing. It was my last day at work today, which went over quite quickley. I also had to go and pay my credit card bill, get it out of the way before Xmas…I have since bought other presents for people which will go on my next bill :P

I have quite a few presents to wrap up, but I will do that all at the same time when I have got everything, which will probably be Friday or Saturday.

Have you bought everything you needed?

 

How To Make It In America – Cancelled!

Posted by Michael on Tuesday 20th December, 2011

:(

I have just heard that How To Make It In America is to be cancelled by HBO. This is sad news, it was my favourite show since Entourage has finished.

The UK has not even got season 2 yet, but HBO have said today that they have cancelled it, meaning season 2 will be the last :(

We need season 2 in the UK and we need more How To Make It In America!

Hello blog!

I am happy today! Last day of selling online for work, and last day at work tomorrow, so I am a very happy bunny :D

Today I have been for my hair cut, it needed it, but now it is all done for Xmas. I also went and picked up my blu rays which were waiting for me…

 

The Inbetweeners movie, Just Got With It and Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes. I got just go with it because it looks funny, but the other 2 I have been looking forward to watching for a while. They are triple play which means I can put them on my iPad which is cool ;)
