All that got lost...

Folks,

two remarkable events took place over the weekend: i got thrown out of the train on friday (not for looting or smacking other passengers up, but for emergency-stopping the about to leave train...) and totally lost track on my saturday run, effecting in a delay of an hour and forcing me to run more than  5 km extra...well done, i´d say :)

Thankfully sunday didn´t hold any displeasures in disguise, but a lot of sunshine, a walk along the river and savouring delicious icecream with friends.

Monday: back to regular scheduled programme...

The return of the suburbian pics

Folks,

returned home only 20 minutes ago, after a long mind-bothering, unnerving day with a shitload of things to do, a million things to care about and look after, thousands of phone calls and mails and whatnot...i guess i only spent 15 min. in the sun today, which is definitely the opposite of "too much".

Hence, the pictures were taken on my way home and yes, i do hate the quality myself.

Not the best 300th post...

Folks,

as much as i try to rock every day, today´s stuff hasn´t been the best i ever brought up, at least in my eyes. The tie will probably not get a second day out in the sun. It does look off, not only in terms of colour, but in placement, too...

Anyway, my bad this is my 300th post and it´s not a good one...





The comments:
@Scott: thx, the trou need to be lengthened a bit...there´s a fair chance my tailor can work sth. out...
@DY: cheers!
@TheShoeSnob: cheers, Justin! Shoes are by a company called "Hamlet", a low budget brand. They´re super-comfy and do add a nice italian touch...
@Superpeanut: :-)
@Mistermidwester: cheers Aaron!

Luciano & Ralph or "The striped iGent"

Folks,

today´s look has been shaped by two factors: my new Luciano Barbera cashmere tie (a vintage one) and the fact that i dare think that this look could have been styled by Polo Ralph Lauren. Not necessarily qualitywise, but colourwise. The simple fact that i added a silver collar pin made it look special and dashing (at least in my eyes).

If you disagree, that´s fine: i´ll call it "The striped iGent" then :)

Award winner suit

Folks,

i normally don´t wear suits for performing my daily duties, but today i chose to dress up a bit more: it was justified by an important client meeting and attending an award show...i pretty much liked it, but will return to regular scheduled programming tomorrow :).

A special thanx goes out to Paolo of Suitorial for giving me the tie, i love it!!

@superpeanut: i know you don´t love ´em...but that´s allright as long as you stay as cool/awesome/lovely/funny/enthusiastic/sporty/admirable/impressing/important as you are.

Fooled by conditions

Folks,

i totally got fooled by conditions today: i thought it to be warm and sunny, albeit it had been freezing and chilly to the bones...wasn´t the best idea to go sockles...

Anyway, i liked today´s colourwork.

Stil feeling the green

Folks,

i´m back from Dublin, the lovely capital of the evergreen island of Ireland. Went there with my family and girlfriend to see my sister, who´s currently working there. I saw an Irish theater play called "Lay me down softly", went to the Irish Modern Museum of Art, strolled through The Jail, had a lovely walk just alongside the shores of Greystone and Bray and ate delicious food at The Farm, The Queen of Tartes and Porterhouse.

What could be better than spending time with your loved ones, enjoying some fine stout, food and a great city? Pretty much nothing, i guess...

Lads, it has been wonderful!!

When i dressed up this morning, i was pretty much still feeling the influence of that stay...shirt was as blue as the sky, tie as green as the landscape and shoes resembled the colour of the ocean (excuse the shitty setting, didn´t have time to take pictures outside today):

Damien, once more!

Folks,

it´s always nice to find out that you share certain feelings with others. Even the more so when both parties voice their thoughts concurrently, as happened today. I´m pretty much a music addict (apart from fashion) and was totally surprised when my colleague I told me she favoured the same bands like i do. Nice!

Clothwise i brought out the red slippers again, a db jacket and a bow-tie. Calling for spring, i´d say.


The comments:
@Scott: you´re welcome...don´t know how to incorporate those two ties yet, but i guess i´ll find a way :)

Back in the game

Folks,

after an absence of ten days, i´m not yet fully recovered, but at least wearing some reasonable textile sheets wrapped around my outer shell. Starting with blue-striped shirt with contrast collar, a dark blue merino shawl collar cardigan and a grey tweed jacket. The pop of color springs from my new silk pocket square, a lovely gift by my Dad for my 26th birthday. You know, i´m a sucker for paisley, so this will easily become one of my favourites ;)

One thing noteworthy: i have the best colleagues ever! It is a common tradition to collect some money for the ones celebrating birthday. Normally you´d be given an amazon gift voucher, but i received a far better one: one valid to shop at one of my favourite local men´s wear stores! Whoaaaa, great! Thx a lot, guys :)

Anway, done with the talking..the pictures:



 











































The comments, as you know:

@Mistermidwester: thank you so much for your support, Aaron. It really helped a lot. Concerning your fits, i gotta admit there has been some incredibly good stuff lately, the v-neck sweater was off the hook!
@David: cheers, David. Loafers are made by Markowski, a french brand. The tie clip is great, cool that i could give that hint ;)
@Yankee Whiskey Papa: thx, i´ll try my best :)
@Justin: thx :)
@Paisley Curtain: thank you so much for your support! Really appreciating it :)...my family voted many times, so i guess that´s legit :)
@Justin: i´m allright, as i said. But thanx for caring!
@Pratishta: thank you, Pratishta. Good to hear that you´re back on track!

Sunny side up

Folks,

received an email from Mr.Midwester today, who happily stated he received my package: in order to return his graciousness, i sent over some ties and pocket squares for him to use. Maybe he´ll show us how he wears them in the near future...apart from that, i went to H&M today to stroll through the racks (resulting in buying a red cardigan) and i went to try out a new made-to-measure shirt maker. Bought a light blue checked shirt, 2button wide spread collar and french cuffs (what else?).

Today´s get-up consisted of greens, reds, browns and tans...

@Marco: was a gift from another fellow blogger and is a great piece of accessoire!
