Tsovet Watches








Tsovet was launched in July 2008 by David Bonaventura, he is obsessed with Aviation and created watches based on the dials in an F86 Sabre cockpit.

Now I haven't got the foggiest what an F86 sabre cockpit looks like but I do know that his watches are beautiful, minimalist and Just plain ohhhhhhhhh!!

prices start at around the £300.00 mark.

Bold star






Boldstar Gila Boot

The perfect blend of desert boot and hi top sneaker.

They are made out of suede and leather and look beaut with a pair of slim indigo dark denims, or in summer with a casual pair of trousers.

They come in at an attractive £85 and are ONLY available at the oki-ni store.

So if you love to wear items that set the bar just a little higher but not seem too out of the ordinary these boots would be perfect.

Vans Sea Captains





Vans surf like a few other brands have released their deck shoes for Spring/Summer 2010, they are beautiful comfortable and versatile in terms of how and where you wear them.

There made of bamboo so they do there bit for the environment as well.

Spring - Skinny denim or drop crotch trousers - plaid shirt

Summer - tailored shorts - bold horizontal stripe t shirt

Billi Boys Herringbone Club







The new spring summer collection for BBC is looking all very normal until you arrive at the herringbone suit which looks well..... adventurous for the Billionaires to say the least, but it works. It looks even better when the two piece is used separately.

Trousers - Braces - slim fit off white tee shirt - deck/loafer/espadrilles shoes

suit jacket - cream polo - straight/skinny leg jeans - vintage brogues - clear wayfarers glasses (check early blog's for a look at the type of glasses)

The man of French Connection






French connections "The Man" campaign is humorous yet powerful and moreish like a Guiness advert.

The idea is to capture the very essence of Man using Sebastien Chabal and his cool beard.

I love it so I posted some of the campaign on here.



Rest In Peace Mr Mcqueen





4 time British designer of the year

Alexander Mcqueen

Began on Savile Row where he designed a suit for prince Charles and filled the lining with obscenities.

He then had his collection bought out by Gucci and displayed some of the most controversial shows ever seen on the catwalk.

They simply took the concepts of fashion and art to a whole new level, his personal collection was of sheer quality, along with his collaboration with Puma.

He will be greatly missed by all of those in the Fashion world.




I love this piece

Vans

Half Cab
Era


Chukka Low

Vans are definitely the way forward for when we start entering the summer months (god only knows when that will be). hipster boys and girls are pushing this trend more so than the Emo's did with long fringes.

My personal favourites are the Chukka lows and Era which both look sweet with a pair of slim fit jeans.

The true beauty though is they sit beautifully with a casual pair of trousers, jeans or a tailored pair of shorts "I'm sure ill be able to wear mine at some point in the near future"

For a more current autumn look try the Half cabs with some slim jeans and a trench coat.

personally I think that they are slowly kicking the Converse all star into touch.

Make an older man cool, and make kids seem even cooler. For us guys in the middle their a must.

get on them!
