The other week I was invited by Penhaligon’s to attend the launch of their new men’s grooming range, Bayolea. Held in the penthouse of the London Edition hotel, it was a beautiful sunny evening and the perfect setting to discover this premium range.

For guys who worry that looking after their skin puts them at risk of loosing lad points, I introduce you to Rhino Skin Armour, the first rugby-branded grooming range for men, based on the Rhino Rugby principles of reliability, toughness, performance and integrity.
For those not in the know, Rhino Rugby is one of the leading providers in rugby equipment and this range sees it’s first foray into the world off the pitch, and into the changing room.
So we can finally take a look at one of the most high anticipated collaborations in fashion; Alexander Wang X H&M.
And OMFG is it good.
So clean, so simple, so cool. Taking sports luxe to the masses the exclusive first look launched on GQ online on Monday and it has got the fashion set drooling with excitement, let alone the consumer masses.
It’s here! The Clarks & Norton collaboration has arrived!
Announced earlier in the year, I have been waiting for these shoes since I first saw them previewed at the Clarks shoes press day. This is one of those collaborations that just works so seamlessly – both iconic British brands, both experts in creating durable quality with style and functionality blended into everyday styles.
Did you know Vitabiotics’ Wellman brand had its on men’s grooming range? No, I didn’t either. But I’m glad we know now.
The range is small with only four products – a face wash, scrub, eye serum and moisturiser – but this quartet offers everything you need to keep your skin in tip-top condition.
The entire range is dermatologically tested against men’s skincare concerns and offers a bucket load of actives to fight nasty free radical damage.
First of all - just incase you’re struggling – it’s pronounced stil-awr-gan.
So a few months ago I FINALLY got my hand on a Stighlorgan bag. I’ve wanted to get up close and personal with this new Irish-born accessories brand for a while now since eyeing up some amazing pieces on the backs of some of my blogger friends – namely the stunning Driscoll leather drawstring bag.
I got my hands on the Conn laptop backpack in grey and black – one of the label’s newest silhouettes. I’ve waiting this long to review because I really wanted to give it a through using.
Now this one has got me rather excited – online retailer Yes-Sir.com and Marylebone-based grooming room Man Made London launch have announce they are collaborating on London’s first ever social barber’s pop-up shop.
I know what you’re thinking… WTF is a social barber’s pop-up shop? Well let me explain.
Basically, from the 18th – 20th of September 2014, anyone who visits Man Made London for a grooming treatment will not need to fork over any cash for the service, instead, the social-needia (get it?) generation can pay for their trim with a Facebook post, tweets on Twitter or posts on Instagram.
That’s it! By snapping photos and posting messages with the hashtag #SHAVEMESIR, visitors will be able to experience some great, authentic grooming treatments from London’s finest.
“We’re excited to be launching this unique pop-up shop with Dan Gregory and the Man Made team. Both our brands are active on social media, enjoy engaging with loyal supporters and customers and we are excited to create a unique and enjoyable experience for them as a way of saying thank you.” said Yes-Sir.com Co-Founder Rupa Ganatra.
The fun also doesn’t stop there – you’ll also be able to enjoy popcorn can beer whilst shopping some of the best men’s grooming ranges available from Yes-Sir.com.
“Man Made and Yes-Sir.com have worked together for almost year and we have a great partnership. By launching London’s first social pop-up barbers it will give us a chance to showcase what we do and bring together the finest products with the finest gentlemen’s grooming.” said Man Made Founder and Creative Director Dan Gregory.
What you need to know to get involved:
The Man Made London store is located at 23 George Street, Marylebone, London, W1U 3QL and the Social Barber’s pop-up will be open daily from 11am – 6pm from 18th – 20th September.
