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
Blue, burgundy, skulls & anchors
My heads chopped off. Thought I'de start with the obvious. It's been about 3 weeks since I've worn a blazer...maybe even pants to be honest, but it feels good to be back in what I consider my uniform. The festive season has been good to me, and I stocked up on some new fashion essentials … Continue reading Blue, burgundy, skulls & anchors
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
Biker Blue’s for GQ Style Diary Day 8
Yes, I realised I skipped a day. Truth is, I wasn't very happy with Tuesday's outfit. It was nice, but, Meh, I dont know. It's up on the GQ Style diary if you wanna see it. Today was quite exciting, a little bit of biking around the city. To hot for leathers though, but I'm … Continue reading Biker Blue’s for GQ Style Diary Day 8
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
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
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
