The Perfect Summer Essential – Kalamazoo Outdoor Pizza Oven Station

Forget outdoor BBQs this summer, as soon as we saw the Kalamazoo Outdoor Pizza Oven Station we realised that pizza was the only want to go. We all know that cooking pizzas at home is never quite the same as when you go to a restaurant. The cheese isn’t melted property, the edges don’t have the right sort of crisp- this is all because the standard oven just isn’t made for pizza. Enter the Kalamazoo Outdoor Pizza Oven Station.

Fitness – Is Cross Fit Worth The Hype?

Not unlike any training routine, a ‘Cross Fit’ fitness program should only be followed with proper instruction on form, technique and a hawk like attention to detail from those instructing. Unfortunately Cross Fit is there for the masses and as a result, trainers are overwhelmed and outnumbered so are simply unable to spend the time to ensure everyone is training safely and in a goal orientated, minimal risk environment.

Style – The Summer Shoe Guide

The warmer months are an exciting time for menswear. They give us a chance to experiment with different materials and colours in ways that just aren’t possible when it’s pouring down with rain. This notion of course applies to shoes as well, so when choosing your new pair of wheels for the summer, be sure to think outside the box in order to make a statement that’s worth talking about.

Style: Get The Look – Daniel Craig

The name’s Bond, James Bond, whether an adequate replacement to those who stood before him or not, we think it’s fair to say that despite being a blonde, Daniel Craig took on the challenge well. There is no denying that whoever has played Bond has walked off set with some Bond-esqe qualities for themselves, from sex appeal to manliness and, of course, morphing into an icon of style. Daniel Craig, is no exception. We take a look at a few of his favourite styles and give you the 411 on how to recreate a few of the said looks.

Property of the Week – Englefield Green

As far as catastrophically huge, all-encompassing mansions go, Englefield Green in Egham is pretty darn impressive. It’s so big that it practically has its own gravitational force, with its many number of surrounding buildings circling it like moons would a large planet.

STYLE – The Perfect Pair Of Jeans For Men

Ok, so perhaps our title was a little misleading. Sadly, gentlemen, we have not found an elusive pair of jeans that suit every man alike. Tight in the right places, loose at the best points, with the perfect number of pockets – not too Harry Styles skinny, or too 90s skater-boy baggy. No, sadly these jeans do not yet exist – at least not to our knowledge. (If you have information, please let us know). In any case, we bring you 5 of our favourite pairs. Even if you only choose one pair this season, make sure it’s one of these…
