Feeling in a shopping mood

I thought I'd have a look at Stella McCartney for Adidas. As I expected, everything is beige. Beige is such a hard colour to like, I think - who would ever say their favourite colour was beige? It's a total non-colour, so boring. It's useful, yes, neutral, functional, but it's not loveable. 

Apart from my issues with beigeness, I liked the wind jacket, but feel it ought to be waterproof as well (guessing in the region of £150, so I would want my money's worth).  And I can't help thinking that the 3/4 trousers are a dubious proposition for Autumn/Winter (maybe this is an Autumn collection and there'll be a Winter one along soon?)   

If I happen to be near an Adidas shop I will probably pop in and have a look, but I certainly won't be going out of my way. You can view the collection here (on the US site as the UK site is rubbish and doesn't seem to have any of it on). 

I love these boots though - they've got studs - wonder whether they'd count as soft spikes??

Anti-golf tan strategy: The Tan Glove

Tan gloves = great idea.

We-ell, maybe a good-ish idea. Ummm, more like tolerable. Like most people I wear a glove to play golf, and I'm prepared to tolerate what would otherwise be a preposterous idea because I don't like the golf hand tan and that's exactly what this bizarre product is designed to prevent. In my quest to avoid Golfer's Tan it behoves me to explore tan gloves.

I had intended to do a quick google for a few options, maybe pick one or two, briefly mention them here, possibly even buy one and try it out. But as usual, there's practically no hot-weather golf gear available in the UK, so I expect I will end up looking where the Great God Google takes me (i.e. the US). I will probably come back to this subject when I can be arsed (at this moment I can't be bothered to spend hours finding a product I don't dislike only to find that the site won't ship internationally).

But for the time being, the only one I could find in the UK (click on the picture for a linky link):

Ew.

Especially liking the hole for the engagement ring (what is that all about? all women golfers are married and wear big rocks on their left hand??). And I'm not even going to discuss the holes for the exquisitely manicured fingertips.

To be continued.

Maybe.
