The missing week...





























Somehow I forgot to post these pics before my little break! And as I said earlier, I have made an effort to brighten my options up! A scarlet red Gieves & Hawkes being the stand-out one this week.


But my favourite is the black knitted silk tie from TM Lewin.

Winter Holiday



As I haven't been to work this week, I have been tie free! So just a scarf photo to share...

Post # 6























































A little snapshot of my work outfits last week... Although I would admit that it wasn't a hugely adventurous week. Maybe too many solid or plains...will try harder to introduce more stripes and colours next week!!

Post # 5


As you can see from the photo above my tie offerings used to be a jumbled mess, checked, spotted and stripes all together, which isn't ideal when trying to coordinate shirts and suits. So in a moment of madness, I decided to separate them into categories...and to hang them in some sort of order!

Now if I choose a striped shirt, and want a plain knitted tie...I grab that particular hanger and my choice is simplified hugely!

It is incredibly sad, a bit like storing your CDs in alphabetical order...but lots of guys are geeks at heart. I just happen to be a tie geek...

New Year...



Twenty-twelve is going to be a memorable year! Naturally we'll all be caught up in the excitement of the London Olympics...but also on a more personal level, I'm getting married!


And to mark this momentus event, I decided to try to keep a diary this year...and if I was going to write my daily thoughts and scribbles, what better diary could I choose than this beautiful Nile Blue Portobello model from Smythson?!


And it has been accessorised in this photo with a Navy with blue striped stain finish tie from Gieves & Hawkes.


Two fine British establishments brought together...
