BREDA Watches

I decided to dress up a bit with a blazer and tie and still keep it comfortable with a pair of Wrangler RED jeans. Adding my Breda watch was a no-brainer and the look came together seamlessly. Freedom of self-expression through style is Breda's mantra and they are doing it really well. Aside from Breda's great designs are the great prices. You'll just have to check them out on their site, Bredawatch.com!

The Seiko Astron Watch

I was invited to take the new Seiko Astron GPS Solar watch for a spin around NYC as part of a sponsored post for Socialstars, #AstronElite. 

The first thing I noticed when I put on the watch is how light it was. Other watches of the same style tend to be heavy and bulky this one is none of these. There are a couple of things that make this watch special. For starters, the Seiko Astron watch is powered by all kinds of light. Taking technology to the next level the watch receives GPS signals and can identify the time zone, time and date using the global network of GPS satellites. This watch is perfect for the man that's always on the go. With the Seiko Astron watch all you have to do is put it on. You won't need to ever change the battery or adjust the time. Now that's luxury.

Find Your Tailored Shirt at Marcella

I visited the Marcella store in SoHo to check out their custom tailoring services, in this case a shirt (they also do custom suits). I always thought getting a tailored shirt was complicated and time consuming- not so. At Marcella it was a quick and fun process to choose the fabric, buttons, and even the color of the buttonhole stitching for my custom shirt. I chose a grey grid pattern with dark grey buttons and navy stitching details. Every detail is taken in to account when making the shirt even whether your shoulders slope or not. The price is great and the shirts are ready within 2-3 weeks. If you're in NYC make your way to their store if not check out their site for more details.

The shirt is a slim fit, I didn't want it to be very tight.

The accessories help put it all together like a tie clip from The Tie Bar and belt from Mission Belt.

Of course, I like to add some whimsy whenever I can. That's why I wore these camp socks from Mack Weldon.

Outfit of the Day: New Year's Eve

It's here, New Year's Eve and if you decided to go out and celebrate but barely have time to think of what would be appropriate here is one look you can easily copy. I thought this year I'd try a more sophisticated outfit. I decided on wearing a Jack Wills charcoal suit because it's such a classic color and you seriously can't go wrong with that. My shirt is a patchwork plaid shirt from ASOS- any plaid shirt will do the trick. For the bow tie I decided to go with this great olive green one from Men In Cities. The bow tie gives the look color without being obnoxious. Not sure if you're a bow tie kind of guy, then wear a solid tie. Either way you'll look good ushering in the new year!

Casi ha llegado el año nuevo y si has decidido salir y celebrar pero apenas tienes tiempo de pensar en que ponerte este look es fácil de copiar. Este año decidí vestirme un poco mas elegante que los años anteriores. Tengo puesto un gabán de Jack Wills en gris oscuro por que es un color clásico y nunca te se ve mal. Mi camisa es de cuadros de ASOS. Facilmente cualquier camisa de cuadros te dará este look. Me puse una pajarita verde oliva de Men In Cities. La corbata de lazo le da color al look sin ser muy llamativo. Si no estas seguro si la pajarita es tu estilo ponte una corbata eso si, tiene que ser un color solido. Cualquiera que decidas te veras bien dandole la bien venida al año nuevo!

A Perfect Blazer For Fall

Blaze- Jack Wills | Sweater- ASOS | Chinos- J.Crew

I'm sporting a couple of new things in this picture one of them this great blazer from Jack Wills the other a beard- both essentials for this fall. The Belgrave blazer is my go-to to keep warm (even in 30 degree weather) paired with a cashmere sweater and scarf you are set and looking polished. I love the pink that shows when you pop the color…it's an unexpected surprise. With wool blazers you have options and I love that. You can wear them with jeans or with chinos you won't go wrong.

En esta foto tengo dos cosas nuevas una de ellas es la chaqueta de Jack Wills la otra es una barba- dos cosas esenciales para el otoño. La chaqueta Belgrave de Jack Wills es lo primero que agarro cuando quiero ponerme una chaqueta. Aun en temporadas bajas la chaqueta me mantiene abrigado y con estilo. Me encanta el detalle de el color rosado en el cuello…totalmente inesperado. Con chaquetas de lana tienes opciones y eso me encanta. Te los puedes poner con vaqueros (jeans) o con pantalones de salir. Cualquiera que escojas te veras bien.

Fall Must-Have: Selvedge Denim

Finally, fall is in full swing! With that said one of my must-haves this fall is selvedge denim like these from True Religion. I love the color and it looks great for errands during the day or for a night out with friends. Mixing genres a bit to keep things interesting I partnered a preppy cable knit sweater from Jack Wills with rugged steel toe boots from Cat footwear. What are your fall must-haves?

Finalmente, el otoño ha llegado! Uno de mis must-haves para el otoño son los vaqueros (jeans) en color azul como estos de True Religion. Me encanta el color y se ven bien para ir de compras o salir con amistades por la noche. Mesclé géneros y me puse un sueter preppy de punto de Jack Wills con unas botas de Cat footwear para mantener el look interesante. Cuales son tus must-haves para el otoño?

Note- The Cat footwear boots will be available Spring/Summer 2014. Make sure to check out their site for more great looks.
