For those who like great style and great television.

Boardwalk Empire- Great TV & Great Style!

As I have said before and no doubt will do again. I am a massive fan of Boardwalk Empire. If you haven't watched season one and two I highly recommend them. Boardwalk gives a vivid picture of the roaring twenties with gangsters, gamblers and bootleggers. The clothes are amazing, and as you would expect from HBO the show is great too. So enjoy the teaser trailer and if you haven't watched Boardwalk yet I hope you enjoy the show.

As always thanks for reading.

Lapo Elkann revisited...

A while back I did a feature on the sartorial sensation that is Lapo Elkann. Our friends over at Men of Habit have just done a compilation of photos of Elkann. So head on over and check them out. before you do though here are a few of my favourites, which have of course been added to the board on Pinterest.

Apologies for the lack of recent posts.

Dear readers,

The recent lack of posts is due to a two week holiday in Italy, (thank you to my generous hosts, you know who you are) some much appreciated overtime at work (thank you to my boss), and some unappreciated essays and exam revision. I will try to post a few things when I have time but for the next few weeks posts will be intermittent at best, for which I apologies. As always thank you for reading and I hope you enjoy the blog.

Yours,

University wear

Nowadays all universities produce some form of clothing with the University logo on it. Now I know we're not all fans of having such a public statement of where we go to university emblazoned across the chest. However you will more than likely want to buy something if only as a memento of your time at University.

If you are at an establishment such as Cambridge or Oxford then you will be swamped with options, but if you go to a less traditional establishment then the range of choices is simplified. As a general rule there are only two items I would consider buying. One is a University scarf as it is practical, and in many cases the patterning of your college or university can be quite visually pleasing.

The other is a University hoodie. Hoddies are great for layering and can be worn when scarves are impractical. They can also be worn to the gym if you don't feel like wearing one in public. So why not invest in one of these practical keepsake pieces.
