Hey!

How’s you weekend been? Mine has been a pretty good one!

It was the Grand National yesterday, did you have a bet? I’m not really a betting man, I know that betting has been getting really popular in the last year or two because of apps and cash out etc. but I have never really been interested in betting. I always say I only bet 3 times a year; The Soccer AM Dance Off (which was not on this year!), The Grand National and Eurovision. It’s became my tradition to have bets on these three events, ever since I was a kid we always bet on the Grand National, it’s pretty much a tradition for so many people, if you ever have a bet, it’s going to be on that. I always bet on a couple of horses, it makes it more interesting when you’re watching the race, there’s nothing worse than it being boring and never hearing your horse’s name, or it falling at the first fence. This year I won! I usually do well, but one of the horses I backed was the winner, Rule The World, obviously named after me ruling the world 😉 It was a massive 50/1 so I have been on cloud 9 since yesterday when I won, it’s true what they say, money won is twice as sweet as money earned 😛

Last night I went out in Newcastle with my friends, and it was a good night. We hit the usual spots including Browns and Alvinos, and watched the boxing in The Monkey Bar which was really good. I managed to watch the George Groves fight which he won, then straight after the main event, Anthony Joshua who won in a knockout in the 2nd round.

Last night I wore some Spring suede style, one of my favourite jumpers from GANT, a cable knit, my suede jacket from Mango, PRPS Selvedge denim jeans, Kurt Geiger shoes, and a white Mango shirt.

I still have loads of Rekorderlig left, so I might have to have one or two of them tonight, and watch a film later on. But first, football 😛

Have a great Sunday 🙂

I can’t quite believe it’s April already!

Last month was pretty cool, plenty of fashion and lifestyle posts were going on here at Michael 84. There were a few events, Air Max Day 2016 happened, and of course I can’t forget about Easter. I actually had a really quiet Easter, which was something I really wanted…Having 4 days off in a row was bliss and something I needed, and I used the time to just relax. I have always wanted to go on holiday over the Easter break, but typically I organised and planned nothing! 😛

The month got started with a big collaboration with LG, for London Fashion Week and their ‘How to wash your clothing’ campaign. LG were a principle sponsor of London Fashion Week, and I was featured in their eBook with my tips on how to keep your clothing fresh.

I also collaborated with Topman in their Great Britain, Great Suits campaign, and was honoured to be part of this campaign, being featured on the homepage of Topman.com as well as it going out to social media and their newsletter of over 1 million people!

I also showed you where I blogged from, in my desk of a fashion blogger post, and it goes to show, it’s the blogger not the desk which matters 😉 I was seeing lots of people posting up their ‘perfect’ desk and office space, which looked like something from an IKEA catalogue, with a flawless desk, white Scandi-style furniture with not a thing out of place. It sort of reminded me of people’s houses looking like show homes, like nobody actually lives there. I like to live! 😀

I also watched quite a few films, including Trainwreck, Date Night and Man Up, I can’t recommend Date Night, but the others were pretty good.

As for fashion I covered a few things from Adidas and GANT, as well as showing you some of my Spring clothing from ASOS, nautical tees and a really cool pair of Ecru jeans which I will hopefully be posting in a style post soon.

Speaking of style posts, I did a few of those too, one of my favourite Spring posts in March was my purple styling post, and gave some summer fashion advice on going sockless this summer.

Now April, it’s over to you! 🙂
