Tabio Spots

Wearing - Tabio spotty socks, Topman navy trousers

How this is the first time I have worn these socks is a total mystery. I've had these red Tabio socks for a few months now and they made their first outing at work today. I think they look pretty nice against Hollie's grey carpet. They are going to look ever better with some snazzy brogues.

Nice weekend everyone, what's happening?

Hentsch Man AW10

I remember stumbling across menswear brand, Hentsch Man a few months ago whilst I was on my daily read of Style Salvage. I recalled that SS did an interview with the brand and featured a post on their pop-up shop in London. Since then the brand just crept off my radar, until their AW10 look book popped up in my inbox.

The idea behind Hentsch Man is to bring a small range of wardrobe staples that you won't tire of wearing or look dated after a few seasons. They started by creating the perfect white shirt, then expended their range to slim fit trousers and slowly introduced pumps.

But for this season the range has progressed even more, with more styles of flannel and chambray shirts, basic and patterned knitwear, tweeds and an excellent selection of coloured trousers. All very my sort of thing.

As I'm currently on a shopping ban, I'm all about introducing staples into my wardrobe. My shopping habits have changed dramatically over the past 2 years, less really is more! Cillian at Male Mode also likes Hentsch Man.


Im more regular news, it was my mate Jamesy's birthday the other day so I baked a cake(of course) and dished out the slices. We also went off into the countryside to a nice pub.

First chance to test out the self timer. For anyone that asked which camera I got, on my last post, I went with the Canon IXUS 95 IS.

This Week I'm Mostly Liking....

Clockwise from l-r Penfield Parka, YMC Hunting sweater both - My Wardrobe, Carolyn Massey Beige Chinos - Topman Lens, Grey Suede Brogues - ASOS, Turquiose Socks - Tabio, Hobo Daypack - Oki-Ni

I've told myself I'm not going to buy anything for the rest of the month, so these items are strictly out of bounds(and also because I clearly can't afford them, socks and shoes excluded). I reckon with this outfit I would be fit to do my daily errands, go for a pint and even go for a leisurely hike in the country side, I'd change my shoes before I started the climb of course!

Something else I'm looking forward to is Carolyn Massey's collaboration with sock experts, Tabio. Thanks to Style Salvage for sharing the good news. On the last count I own 60ish pairs of socks, they are my vice.

What tickles your fancy this week?
