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
Topman Johannesburg
Topman. Yesssss! The moment I landed in Johannesburg over Christmas I made a B line straight for Sandton. I was aching to see the new Topman store. I wasn't disappointed. I had heard a lot of mixed reviews about the store from some friends, most of them saying that it was really expensive and … Continue reading Topman Johannesburg
Denim bow tie and blue suede shoes
Denim? Good. Gingham? Good. Suede? Good. I really enjoyed this outfit. It fits slap bang in with my modern day gentleman kinda style. The denim bow tie is lot's of fun because it takes it something you associate with mega formal and makes it the most casual thing ever. The micro gingham in purple makes … Continue reading Denim bow tie and blue suede shoes
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
Denim and wine
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
Deep V and deep purple
How do you stay fancy without sweating all day? It's a real thing. As the weather starts heating up here on the tip of Africa I start finding it more difficult to wear a tie. A tie is a little too close to a mini mini scarf...and sometimes your neck just wants to see a … Continue reading Deep V and deep purple
#Fancy Friday – Blue and Red
With life returning to normal we've decided to reinstate #FancyFriday. There's just something awesome about dressing up, for no reason and some of our instagram followers seem to agree. Today I was going with preppy, and nothing says preppy like some khaki chinos and wingtips. To that just add some blue and red (cant EVER … Continue reading #Fancy Friday – Blue and Red
