Love the movie and they're going to stop making these jackets at the end of this year but could it be pulled off for casual wear or would it just look strange?

Yeah I decided against 212 NYC - it was a bit too sweet for my liking. Definitely a scent for clubbing etc. The original 212 in the cylindrical shape bottle is great.

I was after a perfume for the Christmas season and going from reviews (basenotes etc) Burberry London appears to be a brilliant one so I ordered it without having tried it first (none of the usual shops seem to stock it). The only other perfume I want to buy this year is Prada Luna Rossa. All the others I want (Chanel Allure Sport, D&G Light Blue, Versace) are summer scents so I'll pick those up nearer to the time.

On the topic of perfumes has anyone tried Burberry Brit? That seems to be another with awesome reviews but again none of the usual shops seem to stock it. It's funny how none of the shops stock the two most popular and best selling Burberry perfumes but have Weekend and Sport.

Is the Luna Rossa the one with the epic advert?

Oh yes Chanel is great, I prefer the Allure over Allure Sport but both smell good.
I've heard good things about Burberry Brit, I remember about 7 or 8 years back it was quite a popular scent but then the 'hype' went away which is a good thing in my books. I like the smell of it too or maybe it was the London one I liked, can't remember

Though not tailored towards winter-autumnal scents, its still a good read imo

For this winter I bought the Untitled by Maison Martin Margiela really special like no other, I really love it. But for this spring I will buy the l'Homme Libre by YSL which will join my Gucci Sport pour Homme.

I have Libre and funnily enough it was my choice of scent for today . I received it as a gift last year and initially decided it was too potent and sweet for everyday use and did not really use it. However I decided to give it a proper go recently and how wrong was I! The top notes are quite sweet and strong but it very quickly settles down in to a lovely fresh smell. I'm definitely going to start using it a lot more as a daily scent.

Considering getting a new bag

Deciding between a bag from the Cambridge Satchel Company:



and one from the H&M Maison Martin Margiela collection:

&set=key[rotate],value[]&set=key[width],value[]&set=key[height],value[]&set=key[x],value[]&set=key[y],value[]&set=key[type],value[STILL_LIFE_FRONT]&call=url[file:/product/quicklook/large]

Second one is really nice

I'd have thought that bright red would look kind of strange on a guy?

Also prefer the second one! It looks nicer and had has a strap/holdall things whereas the other only has a strap. Plus the CSC isn't very roomy - my friend has one - haven't seen the other in person so I can't compare.

Why don't you try to have look at Filson?

I'm looking for something a little more unusual I guess. I do like Filson, but I already have this:



It's a great every day bag, but I'm really looking to get something a bit sleeker, preferably in leather.

This is the other bag I was talking about:



It's nice, and it's available from ASOS for which I have a 15% discount code (SHOPSTYLEASOS15), but I'm unsure.

I think I might go for the H&M Maison Martin Margiela bag. I like it because it's different (you can wear it upside down lol) and the colour is really nice (a reddish brown), plus it looks to be the perfect size (roomy but not bulky). Plus I can always return it if I decide against it.

I'll think about it a bit longer and see how I feel

EDIT: Just now got a 20% off discount code for Reiss. WHAT IS THIS BLACK MAGICK

The problem with H&M is the quality can either be good or bad. And frankly I don't think their bags and shoes look like they are good quality then again maybe the collab has a higher quality of goods.

Pea coat + suit = acceptable for smart (outdoor) setting?

Yep, pretty much what I wear to work every day.
