London Fashion Week Men’s Autumn / Winter ’19 – DAY 1 #OOTD
If there’s one thing I love, it’s sharing my content about 3 months later than it was created. I joke, of course, but I did realise that I never posted these images of my attire from London Fashion Week Men’s AW19. The images were all shot by the incredibly talented Kirstin Sinclair who has become a great friend over the many seasons of fashion week. On the first day of LFWM AW19, I decided to wear top to toe Vivienne Westwood. I adore this three-piece suit with the matching cape because I feel like an old headmaster. To go with that theme, I thought I’d pair my suit with my…

New Year New Me – Some Mildly Useful Life Advice For 2019
Happy New Year folks! Well, 2018 has been a wild ride, I’ve had a lot of ups, I’ve had a few downs but now we’re on to the next chapter. “New Year, New Me” and all that bollocks. I know it sounds cliche to say, but I feel like I’ve learnt a lot this year and I have a lot more things that I hope to accomplish in 2019. But for now, I’m just dicking about with a hangover, remember last night’s fireworks but being too scared to look at them because of Bird Box.

Happiest’s Office Christmas Party
Another year has nearly come to a close and so of course, that means that we’re in the heart of ‘Office Christmas Party’ season. However, this one was a little different for me this year as I don’t have long before I actually finish my time at Happiest. I’ve been with the Happiest team for a year and a half, but now it’s time for me to fly the nest and head off on my next escapade. ‘New Year New Me’ and all that jazz. Of course, drinking and party games started in the office to get us in the festive spirit. We wrapped up work early so we could head…

Our Annual Trip To The Yorkshire Sculpture Park
Yorkshire Sculpture Parks’ most notorious alcoholic visitors have returned for their annual fiesta! I think our little tradition started maybe 4 years ago for our friend Jamie’s birthday. Each year we manage to take more and more prosecco, wine, cider and snacks because outdoor art should only ever be appreciated while tipsy. Venturing down to the Yorkshire Sculpture Park always feels like a nice little reunion. Our group doesn’t get the chance to see each other very often so it’s nice to come together here. Art is scattered all over the 500-acre land and you’re sure to see a few sheep, ducks and even a few fuzzy cows if you’re…

Winter Wonderland @ Angelica, Leeds
The other night I had the pleasure of attending the ‘Winter Wonderland’ event at Angelica on the top floor of the Trinity Leeds shopping centre. For a few years now, Angelica has been one of my favourite hidden drinking spots in Leeds as it’s tucked away quite nicely to those who don’t know of the place’s existence. For those of you who don’t know about Angelica, it’s a beautiful little rooftop bar that makes amazing cocktails with a great view of the Leeds skyline. Anyway, enough reminiscing from me, on with the event! I decided that my partner in crime for the night would be my fellow blogging chum, Elisha Ainsley. Both…

“Thou Shalt Spend” – Halloween 2018 as Ashley Tisdale circa 2004
I’m currently laid in bed as I write this blog post, I’m ever-so-slightly hanging out of my arse despite getting a full English breakfast at Wetherspoons. However, last night was a rather fun night. Why? Well, because it was our Halloween night out of course! And I have to say, it has left me feeling a little bit tender today. As you know, I do love my fancy dress and this year would be no exception to the rule, but what would I go as? This was something I pondered over for quite some time. Last year I went out dressed as circa 2004 Michael Jackon and I was pretty…

Mini Golf @ Roxy Ballroom, Leeds
Time for a little review, last night I had the pleasure of being invited to play a game of mini golf at Roxy Ballroom on Boar Lane, Leeds. Of course, this was just a short walk from my office in town so I thought why not. It’s not like I was putting myself out there too much! Shit puns over, on to the review! I was invited by the Pink Gorilla Promotions team in Leeds to come and have a swing (sorry) at the new indoor mini-golf course. Naturally, I said yes, I mean, why not… It’s been a while since I played and I thought it could be a…

Adventures Of A First Time Buyer – I’ve Finally Bought A Sofa
Hello again my precious dumplings. If I’m being completely honest, I don’t really have too much of an update to share with you all. The house is getting there at a snail’s pace, but it’s those dull little tasks we just have to finish up. The skirting boards in the living room have been plastered so now the living room just needs the fireplace popping into place and a lick of paint. Then Bob’s your uncle and Fanny’s your aunt. However, more so than just having the house look finished, there’s one thing that’s still missing from my life – a sofa! I know, it’s one of the big bits…

Adventures Of A First Time Buyer – Time To Call The Professionals
I have been living in my house for about 3 months now (I think). Although we still have a long way to go, we certainly are starting to speed up the whole process now. But now it’s time to call the professionals. Don’t get me wrong, I love the journey – lol jokes, all I ever do is slag off the decorating in my other blog posts. I just want it all to be finished now! I’m craving to start buying proper furniture, get shelves, display my coffee table books, have my record player out and make the house truly feel like a home. Time to call the professionals – Let’s…

Being Blocked By Facebook – An Open Letter Of Discontent
Dear Facebook, please stop deleting, blocking and shaming creatives for trying to express themselves through their art. It seems that now more than ever, people are feeling like they have to abide by some pretty strict, stagnant and shite rules and regulations on various social media platforms. I received a 24-hour ban on my account and I had my blog post removed from Facebook for breaching rules You may remember that the image below was my previous cover photo for the 5th instalment of the ‘Adventures Of A First Time Buyer‘ series. Well, it seems Facebook doesn’t like having fun. Or showing any form of nudity that was allowed on…
