My first ever J&B Met. For those of you who have no idea what I'm speaking about, lemme give you a brief explanation. The Met, is pretty much a day at the horse races, It's the place to be seen and the who's who of everything is there. This means lots of parties, with lots … Continue reading The J&B Met
#Fancy Friday in blue, blue and red
It's been tough dressing all fancy like lately. Cape Town is HOT!!! None the less it's #FancyFriday and there are bigger forces at play here. Clearly I was in a very blue grey mood, that's ok, not every day can be a green pants day! The trick today was keeping it simple and neutral so … Continue reading #Fancy Friday in blue, blue and red
#Fancy Friday - Blue and Olive
Fancy friday is back. Yep, finger to casual friday and we dress up for the day. This outfit is actually quite tame considering my usual Fancy Friday getup. Basically I was looking for an excuse to take my new wingtips out for a walk. Also, truth be told, the festive season has been a little … Continue reading #Fancy Friday - Blue and Olive
Tux and Tee for GQ Style Diary Day 9
Party like a rock star. I've always loved the misuse of a tuxedo jacket. Such a formal item being paired with the most casual of all fashion items the T shirt. The whole thing just says 'I'm here to party!' And, I kinda was, with the silly season upon us it's one drink party after … Continue reading Tux and Tee for GQ Style Diary Day 9
Burgandy and Yellow
I've been wanting a lapel flower for a while. Well, i've been seeing them popping up on fashion blogs and the like for a while...so, i've been wanting one since, but they are nowhere to be found. Will probably hit our shores sometime next year, when they've all changed again. So I had a brain … Continue reading Burgandy and Yellow
Red red and red for #FancyFriday
Been rocking the coloured pants lately. Although this look never really goes out of fashion it kinda comes and goes in waves...or colours at least. So while it's here, I'm gonna own it, or try really really hard. I realise I may have overdone it on the red, what with it being EVERYWHERE and all. … Continue reading Red red and red for #FancyFriday
Floating with pink
Who says white men cant jump? The last time I wore this tie I felt it would have worked better with a pink shirt. The red is very bright and so I thought the pink would help tone it down a bit. I also decided to go ultra preppy, but college type preppy, with the … Continue reading Floating with pink
Dressiquete - Sometimes, Always, Never
Tom Ford says, "keep your jacket buttoned. Always. It's just really flattering" and Tom Ford is right, because even though Tom Ford puts on his pants one leg at a time like the rest of us, when his pants are on, he's Tom Ford. So now that we know our jackets should always be buttoned, … Continue reading Dressiquete - Sometimes, Always, Never
Swinging 20’s for Great Gatsby
So Misha had been invited to the premiere of the Great Gatsby at Spier event and, it was a dress up theme. Yesssss. Now, I don't need a lot of convincing to wear a bow tie, in fact I need no convincing at all. I know you know this. One of the comments from Misha' … Continue reading Swinging 20’s for Great Gatsby
Floral and houndstooth
Pattern Mixing. That's what I'm talking about. The trick? Is playing with your sizes. You gotta have a change in the scale of the pattern (the same can be said for layering patterns) In this case, the florals were quite big so I made sure the houndstooth was a lot smaller. To integrate them better and … Continue reading Floral and houndstooth
