End of Summer

Summer is winding down and all I can think of is how sweet it has been. It must end with a bang! All through summer I looked for ways to feel and look like I was about to go to the beach without actually going. It was easy with these cool trunks and short sleeve shirt from Original Penguin. It's all about finding shorts that look great in the water and while you are out and about. One thing to keep in mind is to stay away from tropical prints and to wear closed toe shoes like these loafers from Swims. They are elegant, comfortable and perfect for a day at the beach or run errands around town. Let's hold on to summer for a bit longer!

Swim Trunk Guide: Show Your Stripes

 With summer just around the corner it's time you get yourself ready for the beach and to relax. One of the main things you'll need is a pair of great swim trunks. This week I'll show you what's available out there so you can have one less thing to worry about. Let's start with striped swim trunks, you can go with bold stripes, horizontal or even vertical. Don't be afraid to wear them straight from the beach and to the streets by pairing them with a solid colored shirt. For me, a white short sleeve shirt is always smart option but a navy or gray shirt will work too.

Here are some more choices from Swims (what I'm wearing below) Lacoste, Obey, Vilebrequin, Original Penguin, and Jack Spade.

El verano llegara pronto y es hora que te prepares para la playa y para relajarte. Una de las cosas que vas a necesitar va ser un traje de baño. Esta semana te mostrare lo que esta en tendencia este verano para que tengas una preocupacion menos. Empezemos con trajes de baño con rayas, las rayas pueden ser anchas, horizontales o aun verticales. No tengas miedo de salir de playa e ir directamente al restaurante al ponertelo con una camisa de color solido. Para mi, una camisa blanca siempre es una buena opcion pero una camisa azul marino o gris tambien pueden funcionar.

My Spring Go-To's

My four legged friend Baci, joined me to show you one of our favorite go-to spring looks. For spring I wear pieces that can work no matter what mother nature has up her sleeve. You can't go wrong with a water resistant jacket, just in case it rains and the weather channel forgot to mention it. I also like to brighten things up with a light blue button down and blue sneakers. During the winter I tend to wear a lot of black, navy is my transitional color. And as a personal trick I like to wear chinos if it rains- they dry faster than denim. What are some of your spring go-to pieces?

Note- Baci is wearing something special too. His collar is from Cambridge Satchel Company x Peanuts collection. What can I say, even my canine friends are stylish. // Ojo- Baci tambien tiene puesto algo especial. Su collar es de Cambridge Satchel Company por Peanuts.

Mi amigo canino, Baci me acompaña para mostrarles mi ropa favorita para la primavera. En esta temporada escojo ropa que sin importar los cambios drásticos del clima serán apropiadas. Sin dudarlo un jacket aprueba de agua es esencial por si acaso llueve y el noticiero se le olvidó mencionarlo. En adición, me gusta ponerme colores un poco mas brillantes ya que tiendo a vestirme de negro durante el invierno. Tambien acostumbro ponerme pantalones tipo chino en vez de jeans porque se secan mucho mas rapido. Y a ti, que te gusta ponerte en la primavera?
