Best Smelling Shower Gel – D & G The One

Posted by Michael on Saturday 12th March, 2011

If you are in need of some shower gel which makes you smell good then I highly recommend the Dolce and Gabbana “The One” shower gel.

I got this in one of my sets, and tried it, and LOVE it!! Its seriously the best smelling shower gel I have ever used :mrgreen: I dont usually buy the fashion brands shower gels and just get them in sets, as they are quite expensive, its only soap :P However I will have to get myself a big bottle of this.

After I have a shower I keep smelling my arms, it is so nice!! :mrgreen:

If you want some then its sold in the usual places, Fenwicks, Boots etc. and it will cost around £20 for 200ml.

BTW this is the original “The One” and not “The One Gentleman”. I dont have that in a shower gel but I do have the EDT which I also like :)

Gonna Get Some New Sunglasses

Posted by Michael on Saturday 12th March, 2011

I am going to get myself some new sunglasses. I love the ones I have at the moment, but I am going to follow the trend which has been going on a while and get myself some wayfarers. The brand? Ray Ban of course :D I dont have any Ray Bans, and they are the most popular and famous brand for sunglasses. I also dont have the wayfarer style, other than my clear “geek” style glasses.

At the moment I have my Prada and Dolce and Gabbana sunglasses which I wear quite a bit. I got them in London last year (I think it was last year, time goes by so fast haha! :P )

I like both of these, I love my aviators and the D&G ones are so clear and light, you can wear them even when its dark and still see perfectly. But at the moment I dont have wayfarers, and I would like some. They have became very trendy and popular in the past few years, and are having a bit of a revival from the 50s and 60s where they were the glasses to wear.

I will probably order some next week, so stay tuned to see them ;)

2011 – Time For A New Watch?

Posted by Michael on Wednesday 9th March, 2011

I have 2 watches which I wear regularly, my ICE watch which is the Spain edition, I got that last year after the world cup win, and also my old favourite D&G watch. I have had that since 2007, so is almost 4 years old! I still love it, but I only usually wear it on a night out or something. I also have my Marc Ecko watch which I never wear anymore.

I need an “everyday” watch, but I also want a nice watch. D&G seem to offer the best watches, they offer everything I like about them, good brand, big face, good style.

So I have found the following ones, I think they are the best that I could find and are not too expensive either.

 

What do you think?

I also wanna go for a leather strap, I have a silicone and metal strap, so want a change. I am not sure about which one I should go for if any, They both have pretty big faces, just like my current D%G watch.

What other good watches are currently available?

Man Bags Going Mainstream In 2011

Posted by Michael on Tuesday 1st March, 2011

Messenger bags, shoulder bags, dispatch bags, satchels…When these are in a mans possession they are commonly called the Man Bag. In the past these have been seen as a very feminine item, only bought by a certain type of people, including male fashionistas. Now, however, times are changing. It is now acceptable to carry a man bag, many men are now buying them, and the high street and high-end fashion labels have recognised the trend, by offering a wider selection of bags for men.

Why are they now more acceptable? The answer is the modern man now likes to carry more things, aswell as being fashionable. We can now do that. What might the modern man carry?

One of the biggest reasons why men are now using fashionable bags is because of technology. Tablet devices such as the iPad are fashionable, you need something to carry it in. The rise of laptops and netbooks also has a part to play. The young professional male who takes his iPad to work doesnt want to carry it in a cheap plastic bag, he needs something more durable and stylish, and have enough room for other things. The man bag enables us to carry around things which we wouldnt normally because we couldnt, e.g. a Laptop or iPad.

Now we see why girls like bags so much. They arent just practical, in the hands of a man they are the Swiss Army Knift of accessories.

Here are some of what is on offer, these are my picks of what the fashionable male can carry around.

Here are my picks of man bags. A selection from Diesel, Paul Smith, Ted Baker, Dolce And Gabbana and if you want to spend a small fortune, Louis Vuitton.

Hey blog!

Today is Friday, that means its the weekend!!! :D Apparently its pay day for some of you, so I imagine lots will be going out and getting drunk :mrgreen:

Did you know that today and yesterday were the hottest days of the year…Apparently so! They are actually telling people about this like its important, even though its only February :D

So, its probably not the greatest time in the world to buy some winter fashion, so I got my lovely new Canada Goose Snood yesterday :D No matter, I will be wearing it this winter too, and I can only imagine that it will be cold again in England.

Here is what I wore today:

Armani Jeans T Shirt
Evisu Jeans
Canada Goose Snood
D&G Watch

LOVE my snood. Its so nice :D

Here is some Friday music for you. Rihanna – S and M with the controversial video.

23rd February 2011

Posted by Michael on Wednesday 23rd February, 2011

Hey hey blog!

How are you today? I am good, I have been really busy with work, as usual blah blah blah :mrgreen:

Yet another weird weather day today in Newcastle. Sometimes I sound like a weatherman the amount I talk about it on here :D It rained, it was cold, then it warmed up to about 12C, even though yesterday it was only about 3C, just an example of the English weather.

I wrote before about the “next iPad” maybe called the iPad 2, you would think so :D Anyway, I may get that, it depends on how much better it is in comparison to the old one. If it doesnt have something amazing, I will wait it out and get the “iPad 3″ or a different one e.g. Motorola Xoom, Samsung tablet 10.1.

Here is what I wore today

D&G Watch
Barbour Scarf
Evisu Jeans
Nicole Farhi jumper

This is the first time I have worn my Nicole Farhi jumper, I really like it. If you read my blog reguarly you will know that when I got this it was the last one in the shop, it is a small and I am a medium, but I tried it on and it just fits :D I hope it doesnt shrink in the wash or I wont be able to wear it again.

I have been playing around with some filters and editing photos again, here is what I come up with….

A sketch of the real photo above. I think it looks quite cool :)

Dolce And Gabbana SS11 Now In Stores

Posted by Michael on Tuesday 15th February, 2011

The 2011 Spring/Summer Dolce And Gabbana collection is now in stores. I have had a look at the collection, and picked out some things from a couple of lines.

T Shirts

Dolce And Gabbana have gone for large monochrome style prints in their t-shirts for SS11. Last season saw Disney characters with colour, this season they have gone for oversize prints, using the whole of the t-shirt as the canvas.

Knits

Very lightweight knits for the summer, I especially love the short sleeve one, with a button up cardigan style opening.

Jeans

Here are just three pair of jeans which D&G have this summer. I love the first pair, the crease lines are also replicated on the back of the jean legs.

Boxers

I like all three of these boxer shorts. From simple and clean, to a printed design.

The Dolce And Gabbana Spring/Summer 11 collection is in stores now :)

Dolce And Gabbana Reversible Cardigan

Posted by Michael on Friday 7th January, 2011

I got this Dolce and Gabbana cardigan aswell as the Mickey Mouse T Shirt which I posted yesterday.

What do you think?

As you would expect, it is really good quality, and it should be, it cost enough! :D Its the most expensive cardigan I have but I wear them alot, and I also figure this is reversible, so its basically like 2 different cardigans ;)

Mickey Mouse T Shirt By Dolce And Gabbana

Posted by Michael on Thursday 6th January, 2011

So here it is, all the way from Italy, my Mickey Mouse T Shirt by Dolce and Gabbana.

I think this is really cool, its quite unusual for a high end fashion label to do something like this, D&G have a range of different Disney designs, and I love this one.

Features Mickey on the front, and a silhouette of Minnie Mouse on the back.

Cool, Retro, funky, fresh, it is a head-turner :P

Fragrances 2011 – Smellin’ Good!

Posted by Michael on Wednesday 5th January, 2011

Hey Hey blog!

I got some good fragrances for Xmas and also bought myself a couple. Here is what I have to add to my collection.

That is Marc Jacobs Bang, Bleu De Chanel, D&G number 1Dolce and Gabbana The One Gentleman, Bvlgari Man and Dolce and Gabbana The One.

Favourites? I have to say I still LOVE the original “The One” from Dolce and Gabbana, and I also love the new Bvlgari, its really really nice.

The Bang from Marc Jacobs is probably my least favourite, its strong, and smells like pepper. Maybe I just have to learn to love it :D The bottle is by far the most interesting tho :) The D&G number 1 came in the white zipped pouch above.
