Sydney Summer Sailing Season Launch

November 29, 2015

Cheers! Ah, the perks of the job. Occasionally I have opportunity to attend an event with industry and personal friends and just chill out. The launch of the sailing season on the 18th of November was just that. Sydney had turned on the hair dryers to max (40 degrees) and what better way to escape the heat than on Sydney Harbour. Its just what the doctor ordered, well that and Boizel Champagne. Guests were provided with fluffy slippers to soak up the luxury experience. Event food is often a no go zone for me but these guys put on quite the show, the food was epic! Throw in a two piece jazz band (is it a band if there is only two of them?) a classic Sydney Harbour sunset over the city and you have the perfect combination for a fun afternoon out. There were TV folk, famous bloggers, a supermodel and the odd ex Miss Universe making up this pretty party.

Oscar ll at 104 ft was very impressive. Comfortably holds 64 and sleeps 10, this luxury yacht is a sight to behold. Whether its a corporate function, Christmas party or private affair for a few hours , a day or the whole weekend Oscar ll is the ultimate luxury party yacht. Book Oscar2 for your next adventure and soak up the decadence.

That brings me to this tutorial, 'How to measure yourself for a shirt' is a practical guide to give you peace of mind when buying your next shirts online.

How to measure yourself for a suit

November 22, 2015

Did you think this was even possible? Measuring yourself for a suit has always seemed so daunting and best left to the professionals right? Contrary to this misnomer, measuring yourself for a suit so that you can purchase online is easier than drinking beer on a hot summers day, well almost...This tutorial that the legends from MJ Bale produced will be brief and informative so you can get back to work after a quick quiz online.

There are so many suits options for purchase online so give the whole measure yourself a go. A full length mirror and a measuring tape (not a retractable carpenters tape) would suffice, but if you have an able mate/ partner then by all means get some assistance. The tutorial is pretty easy to follow, so let me know how you get on.

Stay stylish,

Tip: check the size and build of the model wearing the suit online to give you an idea of how you compare size wise. If there is a video of the suit being worn, watch it.
