Cricket Jumper Style - Outfit
Happy Monday guys!

How was the weekend for you? To kick off this week for a style post, I’ve gone for a seasonal classic which I have loved for years, my cricket jumper! When it comes to men’s fashion, they’ve been in and out over the years, and if you’re a long time reader, you’ll know I’ve featured them in the past few years.

Although cricket is a Summer sport, since these are a pretty heavy knit, they’re more suited to the Spring and Autumn seasons, when the temperatures go down and you start to feel the cold.

Here’s how I styled my jumper.

War Dogs For Film Night

Lifestyle
Sunday, 21st October, 2018

It’s another week and another film night! This week I watched War Dogs, a film from 2016 which I had seen previews of years ago, then forgot about. I was browsing around Amazon Prime and noticed that it had been added, so I thought I would give it a watch.

It’s based on a true story about two guys who would be arms dealers, eventually getting a deal to work for the pentagon which would be worth $300 million dollars. The guys are in way over their heads, it’s the biggest deal they’ve ever done, and things start to go wrong. It stars Jonah Hill as Efraim Diveroli and Miles Teller as David Packouz, who are two best friends, along with Ana de Armas as Iz, David’s girlfriend, and Bradley Cooper as Henry Girard, an arms dealer.

Happy Socks Advent Calendar For 2018

Fashion
Tuesday, 16th October, 2018

Hey guys!

So I was having a browse around a few days ago and came across this incredible advent calendar…It’s not you usual piece of chocolate a day cardboard kind of thing, it’s the Happy Socks advent calendar, with 24 pairs of socks!

I know it’s crazy to already be talking about advent calendars, it’s only half way through October, there’s 6 weeks or so until December, but when I saw this was already on sale, I had to share it.

As you’ll know from reading the blog, I love socks, and I love Happy Socks, and have so many pair, I couldn’t actually say how many I have, and I’m not going to count them. I can honestly recommend them, apart from the fact that the colours and patterns are so vibrant and cool, the quality is also really good.

Luxury types of calendars have been getting bigger and bigger every year. I’ve seen calendars costing in the hundreds, even some in the thousands for things like high end alcohol, and other high end gifts which you can get in a calendar form.

The tradition remains the same. In this Happy Socks version, you get 24 “doors” which are actually little boxes with red pull tabs, which contain a pair of socks. As with tradition, the boxes are not in numbered order, so you have to look for the correct box for the corresponding day.

This advent calendar of socks costs £149.95, and is available exclusively from John Lewis. It is expensive, but for an innovative, fun and fancy way of working your way up to Christmas Day, this is such a great idea. Christmas is always a time of socks for guys, it’s the one fashion item that probably every man will get in some form, and now you can get them every day in the run up.

The Bold Type Season 2

Lifestyle
Wednesday, 10th October, 2018

I finally watched season 2 of one of my new favourite TV shows, The Bold Type! It’s on Amazon in the UK, and I came across it last year and thought season 1 was brilliant, so I was happy when a second season was announced, and it was released in the Summer. The World Cup was on, so I was all focused on that, but I finally sat down and watched season 2, and it was just as good as the first.

Cleaning My Suede Shoes - How I Did It

So suede…It’s something which I really do like, and got on board with a couple of years ago. When it comes to jackets, a suede jacket is a great option to have when you want something different to cotton or the traditional leather jacket, and come in a range of colours.

Shoes are once again another good option, and no matter what you’re style, be it Chelsea boots or derby like me, it’s always a good thing to have it as an option.

But how do you keep suede clean? In This guide I’ll show you how to clean suede at home. It’s a really simple DIY job you can do yourself with only a few products.

Red And Black Buffalo Check Shirt Style

Happy Monday guys!

As you know we had an amazing Summer, which was great, and I got to wear so many T Shirts without needing anything else. The sad part is that I hardly wore any shirts, and after buying a couple of new ones, I only wore one or two every now and then.

Now the weather is cooled down, it’s definitely time to wear them, and lucky for me, buffalo checks don’t really have a best season to wear, so I’m taking the opportunity to wear my buffalo check shirt.

They are an essential part of any male grooming kit, and something you should be wearing as part of your every day routine.

Molly’s Game For Film Night

Lifestyle
Sunday, 30th September, 2018

Hey guys!

So for my latest film night I watched Molly’s Game. I actually wanted to watch this last week, but it’s on for quite a long time (over 2 hours) and I didn’t have enough time. But when I realised it was on for such a long time, I made sure that I was able to watch it, and I’m glad I did.

It’s a film I had never heard of before, and is based on a true story, the memoirs of Molly Bloom who is the main character played by Jessica Chastain. After watching the trailer I thought it looked like a really good story, so decided to sit down and watch it.
