Tartan allowed in summer?

Folks,

whooooha, a successive post....seems as if i finally made it through occupation-related hardships...

Not quite a 100%, but on a good way, or so it seems. Anyway, the forum crowd always nodded their head in approval, as you hopefully do as well...

Merciless heat

Folks,

it has been brutally warm today, so going sans sock was most appropriate (while making sure one still would look fly :-))...

To all of my followers: sorry i couldn´t keep up the speed posting lately...i´ll resume to it after the office mess has been cleaned, i´ll promise!

A splash of orange

Folks,

not that much to talk about - only heat and work and stuff.
Eat this.

Three Three Oh

Folks,

too late to do write anything. Only pictures this time...

Enough summer now?

Folks,

after a tremendous friday´s party night at the Comet and a saturday full of sun, good wine and great chatter with my love´s colleagues, i had to get up early this morning for yet another client meeting. Was pretty warm, so blues, whites and reds were justified.

The comments:
@Mike: yeah, i guess she was, kind of at least. Trou are made from italian linen (at least the lable reads like that)
@superpeanut: i´m glad you start to accept them as a part of our relationship :-)

Not summery enough?

Folks,

the best gf in the world, who is obviously mine complained about me not dressing summery enough. What a challenge, i´d say...time to bring out some orange, whites and sand coloured pants out. And....yes, the spectacular spectator tassle loafers she detests :)

Honey, thx for just being who you are. You´re the greatest!!

The comments:
@Ciara: thx for your sweet words, always appreciate a lady´s feedback :)
@Nick Henry: thank you, Nick. Just checked your blog: great work! I´m a follower now...

Beach weekend

Folks,

spent a hell of a weekend with some colleagues from my workplace at the shores of Zaandvort, a dutch seaside ressort. We had great food (i had been the chef), great talks, a lot of laughter and playtime and sincerely enjoyed ourselves. Thanx a lot, guys!

Today´s get-up wasn´t all too fancy, though...some blues and reds and suede loafers.

The comments:
@Scott: thank you so much for making your comeback and insightful comments every time, Scott!
@Mats: i will :-)
@Pratishta: thx a lot, honey! :)

Blurry / Creepy

Folks,

pics tell more than words ever could...what a day. Again.

The comments:

@superpeanut: didn´t expect you to like it, but enchanté :)

The gardening state

Folks,

enjoying a bit of sun, cake and chatter over at my relative´s garden...

The comments:

@Boaz: absolutely true!

Bringing out the inner Italian

Folks,

i´m spending the next three days at my parent´s house, together will my love, enjoying the easter break. Getting back to regular scheduled programme on tuesday.

With temperatures climbing up the scale, it was time to rock the new unstructured cotton blazer i recently bought. Surgeon cuffs on it and a self-made laple flower...

The comments:

@Anon: cheers! Won´t let my hair grow any longer than that, i promise ;)
@Sabir: thanx, it does mean a lot coming from you!

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.

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 :)
