Happy Valentines Michael Day!

The tradition for normal people to celebrate Valentines Day, but if you’ve been reading this blog since day one, it’s been a tradition to have Michael Day. It’s not a tradition I can stop, and why would I!? 😀

It’s an absolute eating and drinking fest, and the only food which is allowed is terrible food which is not good for you. That would be lots and lots of chocolate and various carbs, not forgetting lots of alcohol later.

If you’ve seen any of my previous Michael Day’s you’ll have seen me make home made gyros, have filet steak, plenty of champagne and of course you can’t forget the truffles!

I have toned things down in recent years, this year I will have spaghetti bolognese and I’ve already had french toast for brunch/lunch…Something I love but rarely eat.

This usually coincides with pancake day and I call it fat week, however this year that’s not until the end of the month, so there’s 2 weeks to wait for that.

If you are planning a Valentines with a girl I have some helpful posts. Whether you’re looking at what to wear, what fragrance to use, where to go & what to do, or some general style rules, here’s some posts from the blog which will help you out on this day:

• What to wear on valentines day
• The best valentines day fragrances
• Are you supposed to take off your suit jacket in a restaurant?
• What to wear on a first date
• The rules for buttoning a suit jacket

Hopefully these will be helpful to you for whatever you’re getting up to tonight.

I also can’t get it go without talking about my style. Since today is all about red, I’ve dug out a red shirt I own, and teamed it up with a V-neck jumper in grey.

I bought this red shirt such a long time ago and rarely worn it. It’s such a bright poppy colour, probably too bold to wear on it’s own. I think it works fine with another darker piece, and I think it works fine with the sweater. For the lower half I’ve kept things dark with some black chinos.

Whatever you’re up to today and tonight, have a good one!

Happy Valentines Day 😉

We’re still in the winter, and that means layers, and wearing clothes to keep us warm. I got a new navy cashmere V-Neck jumper, and it’s brilliant.

Here’s everything you need to know about this knit, and how I’ve styled it.

I’ve got a brand new hoodie! It’s grey, and it’s brilliant.

Sometimes it’s cool to dress up, look smart and have a bit of sharp style. But then there’s the time you just want a bit of laid back, casual style, right?

That’s where cosy and chilled out menswear comes into play, which includes sweats, and a staple of those is a hoodie.

When it comes to fashion, hoodies have been in and out over the last 15 years or so. They gained popularity, then that died off, sweatshirts took over, and now it seemed everyone loves relaxed clothing, with both traditional sweatshirts and hoodies being embraced by all.

When it comes to laid back clothing, I’ve found my love for hoodies again, along with a lot of sweatshirts too.

I picked up this grey hoodie, which is from Bjorn Borg. Here’s what I think of it, and how I style it.

If there’s one piece of smart clothing which I own quite a bit of, it’s a suit jacket or blazer. I really like them, and they add a touch of class to most outfits you’re likely to wear. I got myself a new blazer from Mango Man, and this is it.

Happy Saturday guys!

Autumn is here, and so it’s time to start thinking about changing the wardrobe around, or getting a couple of new items. I wanted a pair chinos which are a lighter shade, to I got myself these beige chinos.

I already have a couple of pairs of white and off white colours, and wanted something light but not too bright, and I think these fit the bill.

Hey guys!

I have a new addition to my wardrobe, perfect going into the Autumn now the summer is cooling down, it’s a long sleeve Henley T Shirt from Mango Man.

I have a couple of Henley tops already, I got a few Henleys from H&M a while back. They were short sleeve, and when I saw this long sleeve top, I decided that I’d get it, so I’d have something for this season.

Hey guys! I hope you are well and had a good weekend. I have had a nightmare with my computer, so haven’t been able to write very much on the blog.

A few weeks ago I was out in Corbridge and didn’t share the outfit, so here’s what I wore on the summer’s day: A navy shirt, white jeans and brown shoes.

Hey guys!

So in recent times in my fashion Friday round-ups, I’ve featured a few different packs of H&M Slim Fit T Shirts which they are selling. They’ve been around for a while, and I’ve always wondered what the fit would be like, so I’ve went out and bought some to see what I think.

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.

Happy Sunday guys!

I have to say, I feel pretty well rested and chilled out today! It has started as one of those days which looks gloomy, but if you go outside it’s really warm. I might not get another chance to wear my dip dye sweatshirt again, so I’ve decided to pull it on since it’s a relaxed kind of day.

Last night was pretty good, there was football, boxing and music, aka my song of the summer which I will listen to at least once a day…More on that below
