Dear Summer...

Summertime: Carefree moments, lasting memories, simplicities of life, art and fashion. Always overshadowed by the sun.

I GET BUCK...

I've been seeing a lot of stylish men on the street getting back to the basics, and adding flare and a contemporary style to classic looks, and what could be more basic, a classic staple piece, than the buckskin shoes preferably in cream, bone, or white. A few designers have reverted back to these wonder understated shoes that still make statements here are some of my favorites check out men.style.com to see the rest.

"Success is something you attract by the person you become"...

My sartorial brother Damien K. Brown had something on his Facebook page that caught my attention and I thought I'd share it with you. His name is Jim Rohn and he's speaking on personal development these 7 minutes could possibly change your life. Enjoy.

I like to Party all the Time Party all the Time Party all the Time

Ladies and Gentlemen I bid you happy Monday, I hope that your weekend was as wonderful as mine, my birthday was Today so I set back relaxed and enjoyed the day besides I needed to recover from the weekend. In Austin where I am currently residing we had an event called the Texas Relays or what many call the black Mardi Gras and with crowds like these for the three nights...

I'm sure you can imagine it was a night to remember I'll be posting the weekends festivities as pictures become available.

Pasties

I love jeans that are not denim, because they add a new level of elegance to a look. History tells us that denim was actually reserved for blue collar works who couldn't afford more fashionable textiles. So for me the with jean like these cords, you get the informal expression with a more refined look. With jeans like these you're definitely making statements.

Alcohol Art

I love it when creative inspiration meets functionality take 1000 Acres Vodka created by brand creation firm ARNELL these look like pieces of sculptured art you could put on a mantle piece all while enjoying the consumption of "pop" art

Getting it together.

So my apologies once again I had to step back and re-evaluate how I was approaching this whole thing but I think I'm back on the right track, I will do my best to post on here at least 3 times a week on things that represent casually luxury while giving you a window into the life of noveau dandy. This weekend it's Texas Relays here in Austin so I will be dressed to impressed look for pictures and insight into how I put it all together but first...
