Shop till you drop...

Folks,

with the german summer seemingly being a twin of autumn (rain all day long, winds blowing, etc.), i already started preparing my textile cabinet for the upcoming fall season. I have ever been a fan of Polo Ralph Lauren´s youthful sub-brand "Rugby", but refrained from buying stuff so far because of their rather sophisticated prices...until today. I just couldn´t hold myself back when i saw those two beauties:

And a pair of burgundy tassle loafers....to really bring it to the edge:

There might be more to come...we´ll see.Those beauties, probably...both by french company Markowski.

Or yet another pair...like this one:

Anyway, i have been wearing clothes today...daredevil that i am. Here you go:

And now: off for the weekend...

La crie, deuxieme fois

Folks,

i´ve been sporting the red silk knit tie again, the one i was referring to in this post.

What do you think of this combination?

La Crie de la soie

Folks,

the style-savy amongst you know what the title refers to, but for all the peeps who are not familiar with this expression, i´ll explain it: this term refers to the "scream" a silk knit tie lets out when you squeeze it tightly...that sound is a sign of good quality, so if you ever see someone squeezing silk knit ties in your preferred local men´s wear shop, you know what the guys´s doing there :)

Best part of it: i only paid 10 bucks for this lovely burgundy knit one...awesome!

Some more foolery with accessoires today...a golden collar pin (watch out, Marco!), a golden tie clip with a rider on it and a flowery pocket square.
Spring justifies it all, i guess...

The comments:

@Mike: 90 bucks, roughly...i´ll call it a Schnäppchen, nevertheless :)

By the way: a new addition to the shop has been made...a linen jacket by H&M, size 36/46...check it out!

Flowers!

Folks,

spring is taking up pace and i need to say that i feel accordingly, at least when it comes to dressing. Despite the fact that the mornings still call for extra layers to go underneath the jacket (e.g. cardigan), one can notice rising temperatures with every hour passing...

Scott Alexander, author of The Cable Knit Collegian and shop owner of CKC shoppe, inspired me to host my own shop, which´s entrance can be found in the left corner. Additionally, i recently bought some ties over at Scott´s and now look what he got me: how awesome are those? (the two on the left even came as a gift...). Thx a lot, Scott and i recommend you guys checking the stuff he has over there (and mine as well :)).

The comments:

@David: great minds think alike, don´t they ? :)

Nommnommnomm...

Folks,

yet another weekend has passed too soon and it´s monday, once again. Had sushi on sunday and found out that shin bones and wooden bed frames are not the best combination in the world.

Anyway, wanted to bring out the new silk tie and this was it:
