The Long And Short(s) Of It

Below is a shot of the shorts and under that one option of putting it together. I’ll be adding my suede loafers to any of the shorts combinations I choose this spring/summer.

The New Rock Star Look

I would love to see more of my fellow musicians trading in their all black uniforms in favor of something like this. It’s like Keith Richards meets prep school. You can count on yours truly to nab a silk scarf like the one below:

Serge Gainsbourg

I first “discovered” Serge Gainsbourg’s music in 1999. I became fascinated with how many different styles of music he was able to perform with such ease. Then I saw pictures of him and was floored. His face was not pretty but his style was just impeccable. He made suits look so cool without looking stiff and mastered the suit with no tie look. And he always had one of the best accessories: a gorgeous woman at his side at all times.

Below are some images of the man who made me want to wear suits:

Mixing Patterns

Life Magazine has some great old photos uploaded into the Google image archives. I was looking through them and the photo below caught my eye. I love the way this gentleman mixed his patterns. Everything is completely different yet it works as a unit. I especially love the pin on the lapel. Total class.

Spring timepiece consideration

I am highly considering the INVICTA AUTOMATIC PRO DIVER watch as my spring/summertime timepiece. Should go great with some new acquisitions which I will be posting soon.

It looks exactly like the Rolex Submariner but with a skeleton back and a fraction of the cost. I prefer skeleton backs because the insides of watches fascinate me.

Right now, you can find this lovely item on OVERSTOCK for only $99.99.
