Working Hard or Hardly Working..

Afternoon Bearoholics.  

Be honest, how many of you read and enjoyed my last post?.. 

..that's what I thought, all of you. In that case, I have some great news - my second post is all ready for you, the millions....... and millions of bear fans, to drink in. In this post I want to let you in on what I get up to in my spare time or as some may call it 'spare-bear time'.

Unless you follow me on Instagram, you may not know that one of my favourite past times is photography - I am in no way an expert, and I don't have a super duper expensive camera in which to capture stuff, but I do like to dabble. 

We visited the beautiful Norbury Junction, just outside Shropshire, at the back end of July and as you'll see below I managed to get some pretty cool photos - the sunshine, of course, helped a lot! I have adjusted the photos slightly with the help of Snapseed - an app I use to edit pictures on my Ipad. 


Here's one of me wandering around aimlessly, blissfully unaware my picture was about to be taken..


So, you see, living in Shropshire does have it's positives. Anyway, as this blog is supposed to have a fashion side to it, I've been informed I must let you all (the millions) know where I got my 'outfit' from. The shades are Ray-Ban, the t-shirt is Jack Jones (£20 in House of Fraser) the chino shorts were from River Island (£30) and the shoes are Converse (asos £40).. for those wondering, my boxers were Calvin Kline (£6000 per pair) and my socks.. don't smell. 

It probably goes without saying that days out in the sunshine are by far the best - especially when I'm not surrounded by thousands of scally's (and Telford does house a lot) but a pint, a nice walk and the right company along with the sunshine and you'd find it almost impossible not to forget any challenges life Is sending your way. 

Before I sign out, here's one last picture for you


I like these pegs and I very much miss getting them out for tanning. Bloody English weather. 

Thanks, once again, for reading me. I appreciate it.

Kind regards,

FINALLY..

Ladies & Gentleben, FINALLY, i've been allowed to make my long awaited return to blogging. Many have missed me, many more hadn't a clue I even blogged, but here we are.. before we go any further, yes, i really am a man-bear.

This blog will be, i hope (and expect one or two deviations) primarily focused on fashion (if you can call it that!) and opinions on others.. I will try my best not to talk about football or anything else my target audience are unlikely to be interested in!! but i welcome feedback from whoever is kind enough to read me.. 

It wasn't until very recently that i developed an interest in fashion - and i'm not talking about catwalk rubbish, but REAL fashion that REAL people in this day, age and current economic climate, can afford and can pull off!! If you are one of the lucky people that can afford or are happy to waltz into Boss or even Diffusion on a weekly basis and ejaculate your hard earned cash all over the till assistant then fair enough, but i don't know a lot of people fortunate to have that option.

I, myself, am a new business owner. Therefore, in my eyes, the image i portray both in the way i dress as well as my website and branding are extremely important. I'm a huge fan of suits and i spare no expense when it comes to getting 'suited & booted'. However, i'm also a huge fan of my bedroom-bear-wear - for me there's nothing better after a hard days work than throwing a t-shirt on, some joggers and relaxing on the sofa with a beer (see my instagram!!) 

In conclusion, what i hope to provide here are not only fashion ideas (or a giggle at my fashion ideas) but (hopefully) helpful marketing ideas for up and coming small business owners. Marketing is also a big passion of mine, as is helping younger people crack on in life!!

Anyway, thanks for your eyes and here's to good laugh!


..and in case you were wondering, i absolutely meant to type 'gentleben' (Simpsons fans unite)
