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
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
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.

New Paul Smith Store
Are you kidding me? How awesome is this store? It opened up about a week ago in its new home at the corner of Bree and Wale street in a building that dates back to 1860, and is without a doubt a much better fit for this brand then it's previous home in the V&A … Continue reading New Paul Smith Store
Floral and houndstooth
Pattern Mixing. That's what I'm talking about. The trick? Is playing with your sizes.

To integrate them better and … Continue reading Floral and houndstooth
Navy gingham and green
I may have to call this summer, my green pants period. I now counted no less than 4 pairs of different green pants in my closet. Different shades and fits, but still? That's a lot of green. None the less there I was with the misses fetching a morning coffee at our favourite local Deluxe … Continue reading Navy gingham and green

The heat. It's coming people. Im struggling to wear blazers as summer approaches, and I do believe that blazer just completes your outfit. It also gives you a place to put your pocket square...where else you supposed to put your pocket square? So we start casualing things up a little...yes I said casualing. Yes, I … Continue reading Denim and wine
#Fancy Friday - Turquoise and Navy
Ive been doing a little bit of shopping. But on a super tight budget. I get a lot of "jeeeez you must spend a lot of money on clothes"! And, it's kind of annoying, because, well I just don't, I cant afford to. So I made a mission last weekend to get some super fun … Continue reading #Fancy Friday - Turquoise and Navy
#Fancy Friday - Burgundy and Blue
New burgundy blazer. That's whats up. Was very excited when I picked this guy up, though admittedly I had to force myself to put down the blue one I had in my hands. Believe it or not I'm quite conservative, that's why all my details are bright but my basics are generally grey's and blues! … Continue reading #Fancy Friday - Burgundy and Blue
