And thats the bottom line...


A quick update for today. This sweet vintage WWF/WWE Stone Cold Steve Austin camo hat arrived a couple of weeks back. I'm not exactly sure when I'm going to wear it, but it combines my current loves for Realtree camo & Stone Cold so I couldn't resist bidding for it on ebay!

Adventure Time!


Back in February I wrote about the Realtree camouflage sweater I got and how I was hoping to get an Under Armour jacket while I was in NY at the end of March. Unfortunately I couldn't find any stores that stock Under Armour's hunting gear in suburban Manhattan, so I had to order it online when I got back from holiday. However due to the awful service from Yodel (the courier company), it was not a smooth process getting it. I won't bore you with all the details but it ended up being a very slow and expensive process.


But I finally received it last month and I'm really glad I persevered with it. I got the Realtree Xtra Full Zip Fleece, which has a smooth outer surface, but a soft fleece inner which will be great for keeping me warm when out in the elements. It has a good fitted cut, without being too tight which is perfect for outdoor active wear. The Realtree Xtra camo gives it great depth and detail which looks awesome and is contrasted nicely by the Under Armour details in neon green.

We've done a couple of days of hiking through Epping forest over the last month, but its been a little warm for wearing a fleece. But I'm planning to go away in September to do some hiking and adventuring, so I'll definitely put it to good use in the Autumn weather.

A Summer Wedding 2015



This weekend I attended my second wedding of the Summer, and as always with weddings I took the opportunity to get appropriately dressed up. As I had two to attend this Summer I figured I could justify a new outfit and thought a turquoise or teal blazer would be good Summer look. However I struggled to find anything in turquoise, but did find a great, well priced jacket in pale green from Topman.

I was able to add an element of turquoise with a bow tie from mrsbowtie.com (officially the colour is Aqua) that added a great hit of colour. I combined this with some neutral trousers from M&S and a Banana Republic dress shirt that I already owned. I finished the outfit with vintage cuff links and a plain white pocket square. I'm really pleased with how the outfit came together, I had a great time at both weddings and definitely felt appropriately dressed for the Summer occasions.
