¡Hola España!

Buenos dias mi amigos! 

ASOS Black X Puma

ASOS has always been a favorite website of mine, and I know a lot if you shop on there too, which is why I was so excited to be invited along to their launch night for their new collaboration with Puma in East London.

Like the Adidas Spezial exhibition I popped along to last week, I haven't worn Puma in such a long time, so I was really keen to see what their latest collection looked like. 

Once we had finished up working for the day, me and Vitor hopped, skipped and jumped over to BoxPark in Shorditch for the launch of the second menswear collection by ASOS BLACK x Puma.

I wore a plain basic Tee from Topman, with a necklace to break it up.

After a couple of drinks and catching up with some friends we spotted in the crowd, we grabbed a moment to have a look at the look book and chose our favorites. The first collaboration between the two brands brought style and sport together, something I am always a little skeptical about going wrong for any sport brand. Get it wrong, and it doesn't work. Get it right, and everyone wants in.
However, young, hip and trendy, the second collection isn't a sports brand trying to be fashionable, its stylish and on-trend, and everyone wanted in, including us!

It was a little like 'Hello 2013, I am the 90s revival and this is what is cool right now in my world.'

Vitor went for one of the new vests.

Whilst I have fallen in love with one of the new sweatshirts!

There are no large logos splattered across coloured tees, instead patterned jumpers and tees that would fit right in the wardrobe make up the majority of the collection. Throw in some sweatpants too, and you are decked out for all year round!
The collection is available on ASOS now (check it out here), so take a look and pick our something new for the wardrobe.
Go on, treat yourself! Here are a couple of my other faves from the collection...

I absolutely love Boxpark, because you always come across pop-ups that are there for a short bit of time, can buy something that isn't owned by everyone, and grab a bite to eat upstairs too! If you haven't discovered this little gem, then head over there one evening and check it out for yourself.

You will enjoy it, promise!

After a few more drinks and feeling a bit tipsy, we made our way downstairs and had a look through some of the stores who were still open, including Hype and One Piece, before grabbing a bite to eat and heading into the night for another drink...

Olympic Man Candy: Water Polo

London 2012 is starting to turn into a catalogue of Eye Candy for everyone out there. We have had the top few men, Tom and James, and there is still more to come! Then, to hear that they have ordered in 100,000 condoms to the Olympic Village makes you think one thing...

Well, you know what I am on about. If not, use your imagination!

There are still soooo many sports to take place, but one sport that is on for the entire two weeks is the Water Polo. No guys, no Tom Daley or James Magnussen this time. Instead, there are looadsss of them in one place.

Hello Water Polo!

Okay, so water polo may not be your thing, but these guys might just change your mind. A group of guys, chasing and battling for a ball. Funny hats, and small trunks. What is there not to love about this?



































Right now, the mens water polo is on every other day at the Olympics. With tickets being made available daily for this, you could be in reaching distance of these guys.

If you don't fancy that, then (as always) you can stay at home and watch on BBC iPlayer.

Just don't drool too much guys!

Olympic Man Candy

We all know what is about to happen in the UK. We have seen the signs, heard Boris on the tube, and watched the Ab Fab special, and now it is here.

The Olympics. You know, that big hoo-haa with about 10,500 athletes from 205 nations running, swimming, cycling, sweating, cussing and cheering through events that are taking over London. All trying to win that gold medal, and not settling for silver or bronze.

So now we have it, two weeks of sport and hectic rides to wherever we want to be. Whilst we may be getting stressed on the tubes in the morning, or moaning about the Olympic lanes, or trying to help tourists go in the right direction, there is one thing to remember. Ladies and Gays, its all about...

The eye candy.

Whilst some people may not be interested in the sport, you can definately show interest in who is taking part. This is two weeks where we can get excited and drool at our TV screens at some of the hottest sport stars on the planet. Sculpted bodies, sportswear, adreneline and pretty faces, this is two weeks of free eye candy, and here are some of the highlights of who you can stare at!

Anthony Ogogo. UK

[caption id="attachment_1221" align="aligncenter" width="580"] Taking a pounding from him wouldn't be so bad![/caption]

Sport: Boxing

Drool factor: 'Someone get some tissue.'

Apparently his nickname is 'Beautiful Brown Suga' which would fit nicely for this boxer. You can find him punching his way through the rounds from Saturday the 28th July at the ExCel centre.

Jesse Williams. USA

[caption id="attachment_1222" align="aligncenter" width="580"] How high can he get?[/caption]

Sport: Athletics, High Jump

Drool Factor: 'Careful not to get it on his lycra shorts.'

Being one of the best high jumpers in the world, you know you want to watch him bend over backwards in mid-air, then watching him scream adrenelin after he lands. Watch out for the vein-popping muscles on 5th August.

Phillip Boy. Germany

[caption id="attachment_1224" align="aligncenter" width="450"] Army Boy Phillip[/caption]

Sport: Artistic Gymnastics

Drool Factor: 'Someone pass a few more tissues.'

Not only is this guy a gymnast, he is also in the Army, and his mum sent him to gymnastics to use up excessive energy. Sergent Boy will be on your screens, taking up multiple positions, from 28th July.

Oscar. Brazil

[caption id="attachment_1229" align="aligncenter" width="580"] Oh Hello Boys[/caption]

Sport: Football

Drool Factor: 'He can dribble anyday!'

Oscar. That's it. Just Oscar. This one name man will be playing keepy-uppie with the other Brazillians from the 28th July, practicing his ball skills and hopefully hitting the back of the net!

James Magnussen. Australia

[caption id="attachment_1232" align="aligncenter" width="580"] Anyone fancy skinny dipping?[/caption]

Sport: Swimming 50m and 100m Freestyle

Drool Factor: 'Anyone for some skinny dipping?'

Australia have sent over some pretty fine swimmers, most notably Mr Magnussen here. He is a lover of bodyboarding, and is nicknamed The Missile. He will be swimming his way to a medal from July 31st.

Ryan Lochte. USA

[caption id="attachment_1233" align="aligncenter" width="480"] Slighty condom-head[/caption]

Sport: Swimming 200m and 400m.

Drool Factor: 'Get me in the pool, right now.'

Not to be outdone by Australia, the USA sends us Ryan Lochte. This muscular swimmer may not be competing in the same swimming events, but put these two in the pool and you would be stuck for choice. You can drool over him from the 1st August.

Kenrick Monk. Australia

[caption id="attachment_1235" align="aligncenter" width="580"] Someone pass something cold to cool me down[/caption]

Sport: Swimming 200m.

Drool Factor: 'Screw the last two, this one is the winner.'

See, there are loads of eye candy in the pool this year. Just when you think America may have topped the Aussies, the Aussies come back with this bit of pleasure. You need to tune into the tv on the 29th July to see that body. It puts others to shame

Mark Cavendish. Great Britain

[caption id="attachment_1238" align="aligncenter" width="386"] Gayface or a pretty face?[/caption]

Sport: Cycling

Drool Factor: 'Still thinking about those swimmers... Sorry'

Mark Cavendish, one of Englands best chances for a medal, has a slight gayface about him. Sure he is hot, has a wife and kids, and will be wearing the lycra, but that just makes you want to cheer him on more. He will be hitting our streets on July 28th. Get the gay flags out, he may just turn fot you.

Fabian Kauter. Switzerland

[caption id="attachment_1242" align="aligncenter" width="580"] Where is his sword ay?[/caption]

Sport: Fencing

Drool Factor: 'Two boxes of tissues later, and I need some more!'

One guy, one sword. Meet Fabian, Switzerlands entry for the fencing competition. Not shy of a few photos, this guy wants to be the best (and best looking) whilst looking like a sword-holding sperm. That cute, boyish face can be seen on TV on 1st August. He may well be a lover of meat balls too.

Tom Daley. Great Britain

[caption id="attachment_1245" align="aligncenter" width="580"] *speechless*[/caption]

Sport: Diving

Drool Factor: 'Over-drooling, can't control it, not enough tissues.'

Tom Daley. The diver who makes girls scream, guys want that body, and gays want him (he is legal). You can't have a man candy list without this champion on it, and you know you will be tuning into the TV to see him pull all different kinds of positions from a 10m board. Who is his partner again? Who cares! He will be on the box on 30th July, and 10th August. DOUBLE WHAMMY.

So there we have it. There are soooo many athletes taking part that you are going to be flooded with eye candy, but hopefully these few pics will warm you up for the events.

All we need now is some gold medals for Team GB, and you to comment below on who you think is best of the bunch.

Ditch the Chinos

You know the situation. You get ready for a night out, sort out the hair, spray some aftershave, put on your best pair of chinos and a top to go with, and head out onto the town looking reem. Sorry, just had the temptation to use that word!

The only problem is, once you get out onto the town, your chinos have seemed to cloned themselves onto every other male attendee of the watering hole! Fantastic! Your sand coloured chinos with the white button are on everyone else, or in a range of colours! Not so reem now!

As we have all realised by now, menswear has been steadily progressing in a much more refined and smarter direction. Chinos offer that, but when you and your friends look identical from behind with some sand chinos and white top, it's time for a slight change.

Hello wool trousers.

Yes, wool. First thoughts? Grandad and old age. But, the great thing about these trousers is that they are not hard to wear. You can use them for nearly all your outfits and replace the chinos or jeans to stand out from the crowd. You can still roll them up (and use an iron to hold that roll in place) and match them with a shirt, polo, low neck tee. Play around and see what works for you. It's taking smart to that next level, whilst keeping the casual 'saturday night' feel about your outfit.

Here are a few ideas of how you can throw some wool trousers into your outfit.

They can really smarten up an outfit, whilst staying cool and on trend. Another plus? They are made of wool, which means they can keep you warm through this horrible cold weather!

Here are some of my choices, click on the image to be linked to the website:

Longing for Summer

With the snow still falling and ice cold temperatures, and a horrific case of man flu, what better than to have a browse at some summer outfits!

Here are my some of the pieces that I love... Each photo takes you to the relevant site. So click away!

Don't forget, if you are a student then you can usually get a discount when you pay online or in store... If you are a worker, then a store card usually offers a discount if you take one out (just pay it off straight away and cut it up :D)
