I think it's pretty safe to say that I'm a Guerlain fanboy. I have five of their fragrances in my collection (so far), I always get excited whenever I hear about a new Guerlain release and I'm a huge admirer of the heritage and history of the house, as well as their commitment to producing high quality fragrances. 

The L'Homme Ideal collection are among my favourite offerings from the house and I own all four fragrances within it. Each fragrance offers a different take on that signature almond/tonka bean note and, in this review, I'm going to talk about the latest addition to the collection - L'Homme Ideal Sport.

Vegetarian/Vegan shoes that I've got my eye on right now...

Hi everyone!

I mentioned in a blog I posted nearly a year ago now that I'm a lover of style and that I'm also a vegetarian who tries to avoid purchasing products made from materials such as leather, suede and fur. Since becoming a vegetarian roughly five years ago, I am always on the look out for stylish and beautifully crafted shoes that do not use animal derived materials.

As a lover of fashion, style and particularly shoes, choosing to avoid these materials can present a problem when you're on the market for something new. The choice becomes quite narrow and it's very sad that, especially in the case of men's shoes, there are only a small number of companies/designers that offer quality footwear that is not manufactured using animal derived materials.

However, there are a few companies out there that are producing incredible shoes made from quality materials that are also animal-friendly alternatives to leather and suede.

So here's a few vegan/vegetarian shoes that I'm lusting after right now...

8 88 by Comme Des Garçons - Fragrance Review

The scent of gold?... 

Notes: Safraleine, Pepperwood, Curcuma,
Coriander, Geranium, Amber, Incense, Patchouli

Strength: Eau De Parfum
Gender label: Unisex

Perfumer: Antoine Lie

Comme Des Garçons 8 88 is undoubtedly one of the most unusual perfumes I've ever gotten my nose on. I use the word "unusual" in the most positive way possible. I knew that, when I first encountered this, I had to own it and make it my signature scent. 

Like anybody who is thinking about buying a new fragrance should, I tested this out multiple times before finally making my purchase. These tests only made me want it more. I've had my 100ml bottle for almost a year now and I still love it just as much as I did upon first sniff. 

I think you can probably guess where this review is going, but here's my take on this fragrance.
