THE MONTHLY CATCH UP - FEBRUARY '14

So it has come to the end of February and I thought it would be quite nice to let you all have a peek at what I have been upto! February was quite an interesting month, the highlight being my 22nd birthday! Now I'm thinking of doing this kind of post at the end of each month so let me know what you think of them!

1. My amazing birthday presents! I got a Gift Card for River Island and the Versace Scent that was on 'The Birthday Post' I am completely in love with this, it is a very fresh scent with a gorgeous vanilla undertone!

2. Birthday Socks and the cutest card! I really am quite a geek!

3. Me and the mascot for Frankie and Benny's! He was extremely fluffy!

4. Pre-Birthday Facial! I am the kind of guy that has a load of beauty products and so I had to break out the old favourites to beautify my skin! I used the grapefruit scrub from neutrogena, 'Love Lettuce' face mask from lush and a Blackhead Cleanser!

5. I love a good quote and this month my favourite is this amazing one from Alexander McQueen, McQueen is my idol designer I love what he created and what he stood for!

6. Me and some friends eating dinner at Frankie and Benny's!

7. Okay, so this was the day that Topman sent me an email to say that the shirt I ordered was out of stock! I was devastated ... as you can probably tell!

8. Valentines meal with the bestie! We do something every year for valentines day, it has become a very special tradition for us!

9. The Boozy Truffles I got for my Birthday! They had a real kick to them but they were so tasty!

What have you guys been upto this month! Leave a comment! 

THE BIRTHDAY OUTFIT

The Birthday Outfit by primal-m 

It's that time of year again! That's right folks its my birthday! *yay* To celebrate, me and a few friends are going to hit the town! Now my Birthday isn't for another week but these things need to be planned in advance! Above I have selected a few bits that I shall hopefully be wearing that night! The shirt I want is from Topman, It was featured in an earlier post "The Printed Shirt" and out of all the ones I chose this Burgundy Aztec Print was the one I fell in love with! Now normally when I plan an outfit I try to have a statement piece and in this outfit it is most definitely the shirt!! And so I have tried to keep the accessories quite minimal, the key word being tried! I love accessories! I've chosen a simple black band ring and a thin gold necklace, and then there's the bee brooch! Now this is a real quirky piece ... and that is exactly why I have to have it! I'm going to wear it in between the collar where the top button sits, now in my head this looks really good but I honestly have no idea what it will look like until I order it! I've seen quite a few people working 'The Chelsea Boot' and I love how it finishes off an outfit, this pair is from River Island and at £35 I think its a real bargain! Finally, I always need a good scent on a special evening and ever since I sampled 'Eros by Versace' I knew I had to add it to my collection! Its quite a sweet scent but also quite fresh ... I'm really no good at describing smells, but it smells good!!

THE COLOURED CHINO

Jacamo Chino Wishlist by primal-m on Polyvore

A few years ago 'The Coloured Chino' was unleashed onto the high street and it became an overnight sensation, no longer did men have to strut around in basic coloured bottoms! I was obsessed with the colour ranges that a lot of shops had released and I knew that I had to have a pair, however I could never find a decent pair in my size! Sad face. So I had to stick with just regular denim, I did get myself a lovely pair of grey jeans that I loved! But that's a different story! So yeah! Anyway, then Jacamo opened a shop in the Highcross. Jacamo is a menswear brand that designs clothes for plus size men, when I popped into their store I was very impressed! I was even more impressed when I found their jeans section and they had coloured chinos! I grabbed myself a pair in a plum/burgundy and a pale blue! The colours were amazing, however the chino was a straight leg and I prefer to have a tailored skinny fit, So! I sat down at my sewing machine and tailored the leg! Et Voila! I had not one! But two perfect pairs of coloured chinos! Jacamo have recently released a new line of the chinos PICTURED ABOVE and they are a tailored skinny fit! I could not help but pick up a pair so I went with the Rust Colour! I'm sure it wont be long before I have all four hanging up in my wardrobe!
