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
Black and blue for GQ Style Diary day 6
It was a public holiday. And it was hot!!!! I was looking for an excuse to wear my new shoes, even though we were only going up the road to deluxe to get coffee. Having being inspired my my multiple Nick Wooster posts I decided to do the matching shirt and tie combo (though this … Continue reading Black and blue for GQ Style Diary day 6
Ted Baker brogues
I do love me a pair of wingtips. I've been wearing my Zara ones to death and I thought they could use some company. I spotted these guys at stuttafords the other day, but the price tag was a little too hefty for my budget, so I decided to wait for the post christmas sale … Continue reading Ted Baker brogues

Black & blue – GQ Style Diary Day 3
Another day another outfit. I'm trying to not let the GQ style diary thing influence the way I dress. But I think it is or has, and not in a good way. I'm being quite conservative, and well, what's the point in that! I think it's time to start whipping out some red pants, pocket … Continue reading Black & blue – GQ Style Diary Day 3
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

So Misha had been invited to the premiere of the Great Gatsby at Spier event and, it was a dress up theme. Yesssss.

Yellow and blue...very good friends So I was happy to put them together. And with a 30 deg high today you gotta roll up … Continue reading Pale yellow, blue and the worlds oldest shoes.
Red. Green plaid and red
I wasn't particularly thrilled with this outfit! When I left home, I felt like I had dressed for Christmas. I should of worn a pink shirt which would of helped soften the red tie. Because mainly, all I wanted to do was ear that red tie and micro houndstooth pocket square! Either way, I left … Continue reading Red. Green plaid and red
