Happy Tuesday Guys!
As I mentioned a couple of days ago, it was my birthday, and I got a couple of cool bits of fashion. That includes these 4 tops, namely 2 T Shirts from United Colours Of Benetton and two Henley T Shirts from H&M.
Why did I pick these out? Well…
What do you do when you want to wear something smarter than a T-shirt, but you don’t want to wear something like a button up shirt? You wear a polo shirt.
If you’re looking for a new polo shirt, you want a wardrobe refresh or want to add to your collection, I’m going to go into the best men’s polo shirts for Spring and Summer this year.
Happy Sunday guys!
So this weekend it has been a really nice, chilled out and relaxed kind of affair. It was my birthday, and I wanted to just relax for most of the weekend. It was also Midsummer, which means drinking cider, and wearing what now seems to be my obligatory Midsummer t-shirt…Since I wear it once a year 
I had a couple of drinks of cider, my favourite which is Rekorderlig. The flavours are so good, and I’ve featured the Rekorderlig botanicals on the blog before. If you’ve never tried them now is the perfect time. They go down really well in the Summer.
For my birthday I got some cool clothes, and so I’ll be posting the outfits and what I got over the coming days and weeks. There’s some nice pieces of menswear which I’ve wanted for a while, and since the sales are on, I’ve bought a few more things which I can’t wait to share.
Speaking of menswear…Fashion Friday. Some people asked where it was. I have tons of style and fashion related features for the summer which I need to do (like the latest floral shirt post) which I’ll be doing for a few weeks – So Fashion Friday aka the must have menswear for the week is taking a little break.
Even though the football season is over, since I am a footy fan, I always find some to watch. Yesterday I watched the Spain U21 vs Poland U21, and what a great match it was. Spain won 5-0 and were brilliant. I also caught the penalties in the women’s world cup with Norway & Australia. Later today England will be playing Cameroon, and tomorrow USA vs Spain.
Here’s a pic of my cake, a novelty cake of course which tasted really good. And then my socks, blue and yellow from Jollies, I really like these socks.
Have a great Sunday guys 🙂
The hot weather makes me think of a couple of things, and when it comes to fashion one of those is floral shirts. I love the classic, solid, staple colour shirts you wear for most of the year, but if you want to make a statement in the warmer months, jumping on the printed shirt trend is the way to do it.
If you’re looking for tips on how to style a floral shirt, advice on where to shop for them or are just looking for some inspiration, you can sit back and read on 🙂
As you’ll have read a while back, I have been using one of my favourite men’s scents of all time, Lacoste Cool Blue. I’ve had it for so many years, it’s quite unique and it’s one of those which has a special place in my heart when it comes to smells. But as you’ll have read, it’s no longer available, it’s discontinued and so I can’t get it again.
But can we get an alternative? I heard about a fragrance called La Rive Blue Line, and decided to check it out.
If you’ve read my blog in the past couple of months, you’ll have noticed me talking about one thing for this Summer…The Tie Dye Trend. It has made a big comeback from the 1960’s, and seems here to stay for the Summer. We’ve hardly had the weather for in lately, but hopefully that will change very soon.
Last time I was looking at the 90’s band Shampoo, and this time round I am taking a look at another duo, this time from the early 2000’s, M2M.
M2M were a Norwegian pop music duo comprising Marit Larsen and Marion Raven, but I only knew them as M2M. You may have heard of them, or at least one of their songs may be familiar to you, which I’ll get on to.
Happy Friday!
I hope you are well. It’s the end of another week, which means taking a look at some pieces of clothing which has caught my eye in the past week. It is of course this week’s must have menswear, aka the Fashion Friday Five.
This week there’s a few highlights which are perfect for right now. There’s a mix of summer fashion with yet more tie dye trends, some retro vibes which I still love, and something for the rain…Yes, it wouldn’t be a British summer without the pouring rain.
Here’s a closer look at this week’s must haves in the men’s fashion world.
