It's started off as one of those days...

...where you don't wanna wake up, everything is fuck,everybody sucks...

But then: you notice that not all seems to be rotten. Despite the unpleasant fact that your best friend tells you he's not joining you on Friday night´s party, he still justifies his role by forwarding you some interesting blog stuff. F, prepare for some wild stuff on Saturday. Rock n' roll, baby!

Been window shopping during my lunch break...Hilfiger knows how to kill it.

Today's outfit:

 

The commments:

@Paisley curtain: just didn´t feel like writing anything...

@David: very italian, isn´t it?! :)

Heavy knit for Fall

Fellaz,

best thing about blogging: attracting people :)

I´m proud to tell you that three new faces have joined your regularly follower´s group: Le Dandy from the capital of Russia (Moscow), The Natural Aristocrat from the US and Jen, a lovely young lady whom i know in persona. The former two are blogging, too, and i urge you to follow them as well. Great work, both of you guys!!

To all three of: flattered to have you round here, your comments are always appreciated.

So, back to my....ah, life. Spent some time with Mike of Inner City Style, went down to the shores and had a good chat (as always) about style, family and life in general. This time though, i couldn´t please his sartorial eye, which is just fine. Alas, i needed to provide an answer for the shitty pics of today.

Nevertheless, here they go (a special thanks goes out to James aka Tweedydon, who sent this magnificent Brooks Brothers all over from the US in no time. James, thank you so much!):

Holla, the weekend´s coming up....time for me to see my love. Excited, that´s what i am. What are you guys up to??

Prep in full swing

Fellaz,

despite the sometimes foul conditions fall brings with him, i love this time of year for the possibility to layer garment over garment when leaving the house. Today i went full preppylike, with a herringbone tweed driver cap, a Polo Rugby knit tie, blue french cuff shirt, a heavy knit and my new tweed herringbone west. To top it of, i chose to wear my vintage houndstooth jacket.
Even if you don´t like that look, it felt so great wearing this: like i would drive my Land Rover into town, go to the pub and see the lads, afterwards spinning home to my vast country manner, seeing my wife and children, playing with puppies...until i realised: damn, i ain´t no English Landlord :)

Speaking about looks you definitely wanna go for: was strolling through P&C during my lunchbreak. They have some seriously great stuff on offer, like red / lilac cords (a pitty, there too roomy for me), tweed blazers with ellbow patches, same great scarfs, heavy knits....damn it, i could spent two grands on those goodies. But didn´t, unfortunately. But seriously, they have great stuff. Go check it out!!



Second big major plus today: left the office at 06:30 p.m., only to come home and see some packages for me on the doorstep. Whoaa!! I received my double breasted POW check sport coat, along with some shoes and the yellow-blue sheep embroidered tie. Such a great day...

Anyway, there you go, the picture work:

Replies to latest comments:

@Julian: thank you, Juls! Will hopefully have word on the tweed textile by end of next week...
@Marco: hell yeah, not that modest, ha? By the way: the scarf was a great catch from Zara...
@Mike: cheers Mike, i really appreciate it. You would definitely deserve the same.

The pink don´t cause a stink

Folks,

whohaaa, the last of the recently aquired ties had its first airing today. Ben Sherman, maker of that sweet black & white & pink tie would be proud of me, wearing it with a light pink linen sc and a go-to-hell paisley ps. Speaking about going to hell: i managed to combine houndstooth, stripes, paisley and herringbone all at the same time...

Apart from that, my raid for preppy / trad ties and stuff still continues. And every once in a while, i am successfull. Bought this vintage Brooks Brothers yellow and blue striped, sheep-embroidered tie via SF. Now, it´s not just talking, but straight business, ha?

@Thefuzz: it is, had to laugh hard myself :)

@Loveofmine: no need to, just click on the "Outfit" lable, and there you go :)

@Marco: it´ll be awesome, i promise. Will host pictures and stuff here, for sure!
