A Bit of A Western Feel

I've been a fan of the denim on denim trend for quite some time. But I've been wondering how I can put my own spin on it especially for this season. Once, I got my hands on this Bailey hat it got me thinking and this is what I came up with. It has a bit of a western feel and I'm diggin' it. To counter the all blue look I added some black accessories like the hat, belt, shoes and even one of the bracelets.

Hat- Bailey | Watch- Skagen | Bracelet- Caputo & Co. | Wrap Bracelet- Ted Baker

Shirt- GAP | Vest- Vintage | Jeans- Wrangler RED | Shoes- John Varvatos | Belt- J.Crew

Desde que comenzo la tendencia de ponerse vaqueros (mahones) y camisa vaquera me ha gustado. Pero he estado pensando de como ponerle mi propio toque. Cuando adquiri el sombrero de la marca Bailey me dio una idea. Que les parece? Aunque el look as todo en tonos azules añadi accesorios negros como el sombrero, correa, zapatos y aun una de las pulseras para que haga un cambio sutil.

Relaxed Sophistication at the Milan Shows ft. Bottega Veneta and John Varvatos

From the runways in Milan the men's shows had brought a wide array of silhouettes. I'm glad to say that the vibe for Spring 2015 is a mix of relaxed sophistication. These are some looks that stood out to me as great representations of what we can look forward to from Bottega Veneta and John Varvatos' collections.

Bottega Veneta

"The collection was very much inspired by the body in movement. I wanted to convey a certain freedom, athleticism and ease," says Creative Director Tomas Maier.

Not completely convinced on the short suit trend? Just hike-up your pants.

An unlined blazer is a great piece for spring.

Love this more sporty look.

John Varvatos

“I wanted to take formal ideas inspired by evening pieces and approach them with a casual attitude for the day time, exploring a new idea of youthful and sexy elegance,” says John Varvatos. 

Keeping in light with off-whites and grays.

Elegant but not uptight.

Textures are such a big part of the looks.

What I Wore | The Puffer Vest + Blazer Combo

ph: Anthony Urbano

It's not everyday one does a "What I Wore" photo shoot at night. Luckily, the pictures were taken by Anthony so I knew they would turn out well. This was my first attempt at layering a puffer vest over a blazer and I loved it. It was not as bulky as I originally thought it would be. What do you think? Would you try it?

Get The Look For Fall III

V-neck sweater- JCrew | Shirt- American Eagle | Tie- American Eagle | Jeans- Club Monaco

Get The Look:

I got a little artsy on the picture above, hope you don't mind. The temperature here in SoCal has been unseasonably warm for this time of year but finally we're in the 60's so now we can wear sweaters. On the last installment of Get The Look For Fall II I wore a tweed blazer. Here my focus is on the tweed tie. I got mine at American Eagle of all places and wear it as often as I can. Partnered with a black v-neck sweater, which every man should have and an olive/ military green shirt it makes for a great modern look. I pair it here jeans but you can easily wear chinos too.

Tome la libertad de tomar una foto un poco mas artistica que lo usual, espero que les guste. La temperatura aquí en el sur de california asido mas calurosa que lo normal pero finalmente hace mas frío y ahora es apropiado ponerse un suéter. En el ultimo post de Get The Look For Fall tenia puesto una chaqueta de tweed. En este post me concentro en una corbata de tweed. Lo compre en American Eagle y me lo pongo lo mas frequente posible. Me lo puse con un suéter negro de cuello v (todo caballero debe tener un suéter negro de cuello v), y con una camisa color verde oliva esto hace un look moderno. Yo tengo puesto jeans pero chinos tambien son una buena opción.

Coveting: Spring 2012

The trench coat is always on trend which makes it a classic piece. This season as I was looking around my local GAP I found the Double- Breasted Moto jacket. Its not exactly a trench coat but it has the nice blend of double breasted detailing associated with a trench coat and the edge of the motorcycle jacket. My favorite part was the length, it hits right below the waist. For some similar options the bottom two are from Express and John Varvatos + USA. Images via GAP, Express, JohnVarvatos

El trench coat siempre esta de moda y eso lo hace clásico. En esta temporada en lo que yo visitaba GAP encontré la chaqueta Double-Breasted Moto. No es exactamente un trench coat pero si tiene el detalle de doble botonadura que se asocia con un trench coat y tambien tiene la parte casual de un motorcycle jacket. Mi parte favorita es como me queda de largo, un poco debajo de la cintura. Para otras opciones, las dos chaquetas siguientes son de Express y John Varvatos +USA.
