“Bum cheese on rye with ham and prosciutto Got more Louie than Philip Rizzuto” I had good intentions, probably two years ago now, to make a Beastie Boys inspired lunch of “bum cheese on rye with ham and prosciutto”. I Googled the best rye bread recipe and managed to colossally balls-it up. I took a …
Post Malone: Beerbongs & Bloody Good Style
I haven’t got a clue what’s going on in the music world, so while this is a homage to the sartorial efforts of Post Malone, we’re just going to skim over his musical talents and focus on his style. Since I scrolled over Vogue’s Tweet about him the other day, hailing him as ‘Menswear’s Most …
“I’m Not O.K.”
I have a confession; well, some of you may already know, but behind these dimples I’m a complete arsehole. I have an unhealthy pasttime where myself and a couple of friends screenshot cringeworthy posts made by bloggers, Instagrammers and ‘influencers’, and share them with each other on Whatsapp solely to take the piss. Part of …
White T-shirts and Fava Beans
As someone who lives in t-shirts and shirts, I’d like to consider myself an expert in the field, but I’m not convinced anyone would want to take my fashion advice when I’m usually wearing an old heavily worn t-shirt complete with bleach spots, a crusty food stain and waxy deodorant marks under the armpits.

Writing, Confidence and Dressing Like A Tree Surgeon
I think many people who know me from recent years, would be surprised to discover that (aside from pizza) I spent most of my student loan on fashion magazines from Borders bookshop during my University years, or that for a long time I assumed I’d end up working for a magazine. After my first Reading …
Style Over Substance.
Well, this blog is looking rather neglected isn’t it? I had such good intentions, but a full-time job and poor time management got in the way, but the real problem? Perfectionism. I honestly never considered myself a perfectionist. I’m still not sure I am exactly, but since blogging is such a Big Thing now, it’s …
FRIENDS: Phoebe Buffay’s Cookie Recipes
Well, I believe I said in my last post that the next recipe on my list would be a Beastie Boys inspired recipe of ‘Bum-cheese on rye with ham and proscuitto’. Wishing to keep the recipe as authentic as possible, I had the idea to use Stinking Bishop cheese as it is meant to smell …
FRIENDS: Marcel’s Banana Bread
You may remember the week I ate like Cher. No? Well, you’d be forgiven for forgetting since it happened just shy of two years ago now. This is how rubbish I have been at blogging. I had grand intentions of following a novelty celebrity recipe book each month but got as far as doing one …
My love for: The Teenage Bedroom
In the first house I grew up in, my teenage brother had to move out of his bedroom so that I could move in to it. He left behind a postcard of a pair of boobs blue-tacked to the side of a chest of drawers. The garage got converted, and this became his new room. …
