Accessories For The Season

As the weather get's hotter and more humid layering is hard to do. That's why you have to branch out, make sure your accessories are on point so you wont need a lot to make a statement. These are some of my favorites for the season.

Garrett Leight California Optical or GLCO for short has been on my radar for some time. Their modern silhouettes with classic feel are perfect the sunny days ahead.

Love this Maison Kitsuné cap from their '15 collection. It reminds me of my days in Paris and how sometimes I want to be Parisian.

If you're looking for cool slip-ons make sure to check out Aldo's selection. I'm hearting these and plan on wearing them all summer long.

Did you notice the watch throughout the pictures? It's from Skagen and so is this bag! This supple leather bag is the right size for all your needs. I took this around Miami and it was perfect.

Tahaanga Shirts Are Coming Your Way

I'm all smiles with my new Tahaanga shirt. This shirting company is ready to bring you some great fitting shirts. The shirts are made with the latest technology making them wrinkle resistant, moisture- wicking, quick dry and non-iron. Make sure to check them out and try them on for size.

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.

Bring Home Uncommon Goods

I've known of UncommonGoods for a few years now. The wide array of items you can find at their site is composed of a lot of products made by hand and also made in the USA. They are also huge fans of items made from recycled materials and/or upcycled materials. I was asked to highlight some the items that caught my eye from their Gifts For Men ideas which you can find here. As I was browsing on the site I tried imagining how certain items would look in a living room. UncommonGoods does not limit the scope of its items and so I had a lot to choose from. You can find fashion accessories like the Reveal Watch. Home decor is one of their strengths, I particularly like the ballpark blue prints collection, scratch map and auto timing chain and gears. One of my friends has the moustache mug and believe it or not at a small get together we had a blast trying to guess who those famous mustaches belonged to. For a more practical choice I think the drift wood charging dock is a nice change to the boring docks out there. It's not hard to imagine great finds from UncommonGoods at home. Discover more of UncommonGoods and their Gifts For Husband, here and Gifts For Dad, here.

Por algunos años he conocido de el sitio web UncommonGoods. La gran variedad de productos que puedes encontrar en su sitio web incluye productos hecho a mano y también hecho en los EEUU. A ellos les encantan cuando algo esta hecho de materiales reciclados. UncommonGoods me pidió escoger algunos de mis productos favoritos. En lo que buscaba por el sitio web me imaginaba como esas cosas se verían en una sala. UncommonGoods no se limita en los tipos de productos que venden. Podras encontrar accesorios como relojes como el Reveal Watch. Decoraciones para el hogar es una de sus especialidades, por ejemplo los planos de estadios de béisbol, un mapa donde puedes rascar donde has viajado, y en reloj echo de engranajes de una bicicleta. Uno de mis amistades tiene la taza con los bigotes y fue tan divertido tratar de adivinar a quien le pertenecía esos bigotes. En un punto mas practico me gustó el cargador en forma de un pedazo de madera, que original! No es tan difícil imaginar UncommonGoods en tu hogar.

Men's Accessories for Summer

From personal experience summer in New York is extremely humid as well as in Miami so I've had to think of ways to amp up a simple t-shirt and jeans look. Below are some options for your consideration. Try any combination of these or all of them at once. The point is that each piece is strong enough by itself or can compliment another accessory and of course what your wearing. The goal is to make a statement without having to add more layers of clothing and melt while you're outside. These suggestions will help you stay cool out there!

Durante el verano he experimentado unos veranos extremadamente húmedos en Nueva York y Miami entonces he pensado en diferentes manera de no vestir tan básico con los accesorios adecuados. A continuación hay algunas opciones que puedes considerar. Prueba cualquier combinación o todos a la vez. La meta es que cada accesorio sea lo suficientemente interesante solo o que complemente los otros accesorios y por supuesto lo ropa que tengas puesto. Mantente lo mas refrescado posible sin tener tanta ropa puesta.

Good Times: A Watch Gift Guide

TL- Tudor | TR- Tissot | BL- 88 RDR | BR- TAG Heuer

Lately, I've been thinking a lot about watches and how it's been a men's go-to accessory for ages. Here are a few watches that caught my eye so if your shopping for yourself, dad, brother-in-law or even grandfather these are great options in your search. One of the things I like the most about these watches is their black face the other the black leather straps. Any of these watches will have you looking put together but without trying to hard. I'm wearing the 88 RDR watch- it's great!

Interview: Pierre Bernheim of 88 Rue De Rhone Watches

Swiss luxury watch makers Pierre and Elie Bernheim launched 88 Rue de Rhone, the world's first accessible Swiss-made watch brand. Together they've created sleek and modern designs keeping true to the Swiss watch making heritage. I've asked Pierre to answer a few questions about the brand and his most memorable gift.

- Why should a man invest on a watch? 

For me a watch is a landmark, a reference. It is also one of the only jewels that a man can wear and it reflects his own image, story, personality.

- What makes 88 Rue du Rhone different from other watch companies out there? 

It’s ours (My brother and I)!

- How would you describe the 88RDR man? 

He is an elegant man, who likes classic things, stylish, but also contemporary. He is ambitious and confident and likes niche brands, he is a trendsetter, a modern entrepreneur and a Swiss watch connoisseur.

- How is it working along side your brother? 

We know each other very well and have a high trust. We know when it’s time to talk or make big decisions, and when we need time. We both work for family, it’s the same fight, and together we have complementary temperaments.

- Aside from a watch, what has been the most memorable gift you've ever received? 

For an object I would say a pilot jacket from my grandfather otherwise it is obviously my daughter!
