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.
I love Creed Aventus, but are there any alternatives? The answer is of course there is!
I love all of my fragrances, and if you ask me, it’s not about what is best, but it’s about picking out the right scent for the right moment or occasion.
You don’t need to be big into fragrances to know that for guys, Creed Aventus is one of the most coveted bottles of aftershave a man can buy. It’s one of my favourite scents, but since it’s also a favourite of many others, many giving it the title the king of fragrances.
It’s been getting more and more popular in recent times, and now one of the trends for a lot of guys, I’m finally going to talk about the men’s co-ords trend.
It is of course nothing brand new, I’ve featured myself wearing some menswear which are part of a twin set as far back as a couple of years ago, and it had a fashionable entrance to a lot of guy’s wardrobes before then.
It kind of comes from the women’s side of fashion, with the likes of women’s two pieces, playsuits and their own co-ords being quite a norm. Now more and more guys are wearing coords, some looking good, others not.
Happy Monday!
How was your weekend?
This weekend has been another good one if you like football…Just when you think the football season is over, it’s not 😀 There’s been some international football, even though it’s not a year for the Euros or World Cup, there’s been a few games on.
Not only do I love 90’s fashion and trends, but I love 90’s music. When it comes to 90’s fashion and music, there’s not much of a better mash up than the duo Shampoo and their style, even if they’re girls. I was listening to their songs and then decided that I’d get the CD album from Amazon.
Yes, the album was actually released in 1994, which seems so crazy to get the CD all these years later. The only song which I knew was Trouble, their biggest hit, and I remember it from being a kid. I don’t remember the other tracks, but when I was listening to that, I tried a few more tracks, loved what I heard, so decided to get the Album which I could, which wasn’t too much money, as you can expect.
When holiday season arrives you’ll be going to the airport. You’re probably thinking of one thing:
What should you wear to travel in?
It can be a fine balance of picking an outfit which is going to be comfortable, stylish and work in the UK weather as well as abroad, whether that’s the middle of Summer of Winter.
Here is how to pick the perfect outfit when travelling, and how to nail airport style.
As you’ll know if you’re into style and fashion, or you just read this blog, 90’s style trends have made a come back in recent years. Of course you know I like them, and I’ve featured them so comprehensively here for the past few years. We’ve seen the heavy hitters such as Kappa, Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein, but one name has been missing. Until now.
Ralph Lauren has launched two limited edition capsule collections from the Polo Sport line, steeped in 90’s nostalgic goodness. These two collections are named the denim collection, and the silver collection.
However these do come at a cost, which I will get into below.
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
