Jeans with my name on them, which I can’t afford :(

May 17th, 2009  |  by Simon  |  published in Clothes, Fashion, Shopping

I’ve been aware of Simon Miller Jeans for a while now, ever since I tried to see how my site was doing in Google rankings (not very well unfortunately). Anyways, they are a premium line of very nice jeans from California.
I saw them a couple of weeks ago while perusing the mens’ section in Selfridges. [...]

My first trip to Hollister in the UK – horrendous!

January 5th, 2009  |  by Simon  |  published in Clothes, Fashion, Shopping

Hollister – where I get a lot of my clothes when I’m out in Dallas visiting the folks, and recently arrived in this country, which I was a bit disappointed about. Anyways, seeing as I was in London over Christmas, I decided to head out to Westfield and go and check out one of two [...]

Amazon selling MP3 chart albums for three quid

December 9th, 2008  |  by Simon  |  published in Music, Shopping, Web/Tech

Ok so I’m a bit behind with this because it happened last week, but Amazon have started selling music downloads – at a discount to iTunes. At the moment, as what I can only presume is a loss-leader to get people to try the service, they’re offering some brand new albums for only £3 – [...]

Hollister comes to the UK

November 3rd, 2008  |  by Simon  |  published in Clothes, Fashion, Shopping

 

The Westfield London shopping centre opened on Friday. It’s the largest urban shopping centre in Europe, and right across the road from Television Centre, so me and my mate Charlie Brown went to check it out on Friday afternoon (after work of course).
I am annoyed that after Abercrombie, Hollister is now opening shops in the [...]

Victoria Square is ooooooh-pen!

March 9th, 2008  |  by Simon  |  published in Belfast, Shopping

We have a new snazzy shopping centre in Belfast! It is called Victoria Square and it is quite big. G and I went down and checked it out on the opening day on Thursday and it was crazy bonkers with millions of people. I just wanted to wander around and get a feel for the place but [...]

Egg and Muffin toaster finally here!

February 14th, 2008  |  by Simon  |  published in Food and Drink, Shopping

After two and half years, the Egg and Muffin Toaster (of my dreams) has finally made it to the UK, as the Tefal Toast n Egg. That is the good news. The only bad news for me is that it is only available in Comet, who don’t deliver to Northern Ireland. Could that be any [...]

Globalistation plays havoc with my exclusive wardrobe

February 2nd, 2008  |  by Simon  |  published in Fashion, Shopping, Travel

I was in London yesterday for a quick visit, meeting two presenters I’m hoping will come and work in Northern Ireland on a summer series. I managed a quick trip to Regent Street, where I was a bit dismayed to see that American clothes retailers are arriving. Banana Republic opens in Spring 2008. Part of [...]

Two things I will not be buying with my Christmas money

December 27th, 2007  |  by Simon  |  published in Shopping, Weird

If you are a baby, you cannot choose whether or not you want to be religious, so why is there a Baby’s First Bible?!!!

This is some weird animatronic Elvis which is currently on sale at The Sharper Image for only $199.99! Who in their right mind would buy that. Apparently ‘State-of-the-art technologies animate Alive™ Elvis® [...]

Crazy shops….

August 28th, 2007  |  by Simon  |  published in Food and Drink, Shopping, Travel

On my trip, I discovered that there is a chain of record shops in California called Rasputin Music. Rasputin was basically a guy that lived in Russia at the turn of the 20th Century. He was really controversial because he came to have a lot of influence over the Russian Royal Family at the time. He [...]

Have you ever wanted to get your cat tattooed?

August 28th, 2007  |  by Simon  |  published in Shopping, Weird

Well maybe you can now, as I saw this shop in Dallas. It could be a shop where you can get your cat tattooed. Then again, it may not be. If you are in Dallas and want to check it out, it was on Beltline.
