Excellent present

Among numerous other incredible presents (Paul Smith shirt & scarf included!) that my good lady got me for christmas this year, she also got me a years subscription to Jamie Oliver's new magazine.
I've only just had a good read through the 'recipe yearbook' which is my first edition and it is exceptional. I'm a big fan of the essex lad and can't wait to try out some of his recipes. The haddock, spinach and egg I'm thinking could be the new weekend lunch, and I'm definitely going to try his courgette & bacon carbonara as soon as possible!

I also came across this picture of Jamie if he'd put on a few pounds!

New toy!

Since the boxing day sales were so unsuccessful in the clothing department, I decided I needed cheering up. So I stopped the car outside the apple store in Glasgow and bought myself the new iMac.
I then, of course, had to go straight to Ikea to get it somewhere to sit.
Thought I'd share the results...

Merry Christmas !

Feeling festive

So I got up this morning to go to work as usual, and the winter weather attack that the west of Scotland has had over the last few days has taken its toll. Couldn't move the car an inch!
So whats a guy to do at 7am when he's showered and wide awake!
Made a mug of tea, an onion bagel and popped on The Grinch on sky movies.
Could possibly be my new favourite xmas movie! (Sorry Muppets.)
I`m now desperate to see the 1966 original! Shame I can`t drive anywhere to buy it.

Great find...

I came across this exceptional site today called "Hickorees"
I work with a footwear brand called Wolverine, which I`ll be posting about very very soon because its my new obsession, and while looking at some marketing online I came across the signage below thats for sale on the Hickoree site. Of course I felt the need to have a gander around the rest of the site and I`m sure you`ll agree its full of some really good looking clothing and accessories. I`ve stuck some pics of my favourites up...

New Dandyism

I recently started following a blog called New Dandyism, and came across these pics. Quite simply, these fashion shots from American brand J Crew epitomise the style that I try to convey in my own wardrobe. The only thing that I dont have is the Harrington jacket with tartan lining. Think I`ll show a few examples soon and get some help on choosing my Harrington purchase.

Back from the dead...

Back to blogging...
Been away for way too long, but I`m going to concentrate on the blog from now on I promise.
