Getting ready for summer

Over the last couple of weeks I have been forced to spend quite a lot of time riding my bike on the trainer in the basement. To while away the time, I tend to watch DVDs and in the last couple of weeks I think I have watched Casino Royale at least once and Quantum of Solace 3 times.

A natural consequence of all this time watching James Bond is that one is inevitably drawn into daydreaming about being him and in my case this has manifested itself in a desire to dress like him. A quick search of the internet will reveal a whole sub-culture of nerdy men aspiring to look like James Bond and in many cases it is rather sad. The guy in the Hawiian shirt, along with others clubbed together to get these shirts made specially for them for about £250 each!


Anyway, I thought I'd go for something a little more subtle and let Daniel Craig's wardrobe offer a little inspiration for my 2010 Spring/Summer (assuming it ever comes to Naria) wardrobe...

I'm going for some sort of cardigan with a shawl collar


A navy blue polo shirt (probably a long sleeved one and short sleeve (already on it's way from Sunspel). Some light coloured jeans or khakis and a white shirt.
The final couple of items on the list are dark brown desert boots and a Harrington jacket, but I suspect that MK will have well and truely grown bored of me buying clothes (or at least spending money) by then...

    Locking yourself in the cellar is entirely optional. If you are getting Bond delusions - suggest you need to get out more!
    I suppose at least you are not dreaming about being some other fantasy character, Captain Marvel, the Honey Monster, Dougal. On second thoughts you might be - Howard Hughes perhaps?

    Don't worry, I'm not planning on walking around in a dinner jacket carrying a plastic gun...

    For God sake W.
    The shawl collar cardigan will make you look like your father & the desert boots are a favorite of G.
    Get out of that damn cellar & have a dry martini with MK, shaken, not stirred.

    I'm not buying any watches and I certainly won't buy an omega without permission...
