Oh I do like to be beside the sales sign...!

The UK summer seems to be holding up. Bit of rain here and there, but temperatures still fairly warm. So that's some good news. It's that summer heading into late-summer point that we're now getting to. There may be a 'scorcher' or two down the line, but it's probably safe to say that the main part of the summer is more than halfway through.

And sad though that may seem, it harbpurs some sweet news in that now's the time for mid-season sales. The high street is up to its astragals in sales right now, as is the online world.

So go pick yourself up a bargain while the summer's still here, and think of the rich Autumn harvest only six weeks away!

You could either try an online clothes store or take a trip into town - either way, there's savings in them thar clothing outlets...

Have you ever noticed how some people seem to look mega-smart, like *all* the time?

Well... one way they do it isn't by spending over the odds (although some undoubtedly will), it's by spending smart.

We all have expensive garments in our wardrobe, but these can be mixed with other garments to create that smart look. There are a lot of websites out there where you can assemble a full outfit for not a lot of money, which is good to hear in these crunched months.

So get smart and get on the web - it's where a lot of mid-season sale action is happening, and you don't have to leave your living room!

Me, I'm looking for bargains from now until the Autumn season stuff gets released. It's only going to get cheaper from here on in. Hopefully ;)

Jeans world!

Denim's been around since the 1800s - who'd have thunk it would stick around, in fashion, all this time?

Some go for your real-deal cowboy western jeans, some go for high-end fashionista jeans, and some go for inexpensive yet cool denims, as seen on this excellent blog called Uptown Denim.

With so many types and styles of jeans going around, it's difficult to keep up with all the stuff that's available. Just as well there's the internet - checking out all the stuff available by physically going round all the retailers would be one heck of a trek!

<-- We like these workwear style jeans, just the thing for the summer round of barbecues and general fun!




Of course, with the brilliant amount of choice around at the moment, style-wise you'll have your own favourite type of jeans. Let us know in the comments which jeans-type you are. Or if you're into multiole styles, just send us a list of them...

Funny T-Shirts

My New Six Pack

If there is one thing I enjoy about shopping and to be honest probably the only thing then it's finding comical t-shirts. Since I'm not exactly Gok Wan when it comes to shopping I tend to go for the cheesy funny tops.

I found this one on the peacocks website it's exactly what I go looking for and probably the closest I'll ever get to having a six pack! What do you think of it? Lets face it for a fiver you can't go wrong!

The "Hoody"

I know the reputation the “hoody” has these days but surely that can’t stop people from wearing them because there associated with young people in British gangs to be honest I think the publicity it gets from this is a bit harsh.

For instance men’s hoodies can be fashionable and either worn for sports, casual or fashionable purposes like the one pictured below, so is it right to slag it off so much and distance ourselves from wearing because the youngsters or Britain have chosen it as a mark of their gang or whatever.

let me know what you think on this matter and if it is right to label it a gangs top or wither you yourself like wearing hoodys and get stick for it.

Bargain on Fashion Jeans

Cheap Trendy Jeans

Most guys out there probably have the same probably as me when it comes to shopping. You go out looking for some men’s jeans and they cost an absolute fortune, for a decent pair in a designer shop your talking at least £100 and in some shops that’s CHEAP!

Usually I go for the trendy ripped looking jeans and when I decided to try different stores I came across this bargain (pictured below) £20 for a pair of jeans that look the same as ones you buy in River Island or Hugo Boss. I don’t know about you but next time I know where I’ll be heading first.
