Enfin, le printemps a fait son entrée

2013-05-01T12:00:00.000+01:00

Now that the winter's gone, the earth hath lost

Her snow-white robes, and now no more the frost

Candies the grass, or casts an icy cream

Upon the silver lake or crystal stream;

But the warm sun thaws the benumbed earth,

And makes it tender; gives a sacred birth

To the dead swallow; wakes in hollow tree

The drowsy cuckoo, and the humble-bee.

Now do a choir of chirping minstrels bring

In triumph to the world the youthful Spring.

The valleys, hills, and woods in rich array

Welcome the coming of the long'd-for May.

Now all things smile, only my love doth lour;

Nor hath the scalding noonday sun the power

To melt that marble ice, which still doth hold

Her heart congeal'd, and makes her pity cold.

The ox, which lately did for shelter fly

Into the stall, doth now securely lie

In open fields; and love no more is made

By the fireside, but in the cooler shade

Amyntas now doth with his Chloris sleep

Under a sycamore, and all things keep

Time with the season; only she doth carry

June in her eyes, in her heart January.

Collaboration with Spadari: Cuban days

2013-04-16T11:49:00.001+01:00

Hello guys,

As the Blooming spring starts to show us with its warm breeze in the rainy London, I’m going to talk about one of my latest acquisitions. I got a shirt from the brand Spadari, based in Milan, which I am collaborating with. It is the slim blue shirt with white pin-stripes shown in the picture above.

When I opened the refined packed that came in a quick delivery, I noticed the quality of its fabric, a very soft shirt with a clean look which is ideal for business days. The tones are soft and not strong so that makes the shirt perfect for everyday use, and also it’s going to become one of my key shirts since now on due to the comfort given once I’m wearing it. Light but not extremely thin.

I’m so happy that I’m going to make a couple of looks. The first on is this one inspired in the spring Cuban days. This is the perfect outfit for these warm days and for those gentlemen who feel the need to dress smart besides the warm temperatures. The outfit is a linen white suit with bicolour brogues, tan belt, a spring hat and a colourful blue pocket square.

For more information about the shirt you can check the website, highly recommended.

Forest Fun

2013-03-18T17:30:00.001Z

Hello guys,

How is the moth of March treating you? Here in London is still cold and freazing. The post of today is inspired of the nature, and specially in the forest. How a urban and sleek look can be mixed with the natural world.

Hope you like it,

Have a fantastic week,

Love means nothing in tennis, but it's everything in life

2013-02-14T11:00:00.002Z

Hi all!

Happy St. Valentine! You see, now I'm starting to post more often, and I hope to post at least once or twice a week. Let's see how it goes ;)

As many of you know, I'm not a big fan of the day of St. Valentine. Not because I do not like love, do not get me wrong. It is since I think it should be shown every day. Show love and appreciation to all your loved ones and surprise them with daily surprises when they least expect them.

Now I present my outfit for the day. As you can see I was inspired by one of the most important colors this season, the maroon and Gucci looks for this spring / summer.

The skinny suit, the loafers and thing dottie tie are in that color, I've outfitted with chocolate colored gloves, a tan folio bag (for more information, click here) and a belt of the same color, without forgetting the Pocket Square and silver tie-pin.

Hope you like,

See you soon,

A

Holdall & Co, a true vintage inspiration

2013-02-12T13:56:00.000Z

Hi everyone,

Today I have the pleasure to present a true work of art. The folio by Holdall & Co.

"Holdall & Co is a designer of leather accessories 'Made in England'. Their first product is an under-arm bag foil which is made by highly skilled case English makers who have decades of experience using the highest quality top grain leather.

The designer told me she has been collecting vintage bags, Especially ones 'made in England' for quiet a few years now Which inspired her to design something That would Reflect the same values. She Decided to start Holdall & Co Because She Wanted to create a stylish yet durable product will stand the test That of time and age nicely with use the way her vintage pieces have.

The folios are a 30's inspired design minimalistically Which is timeless yet modern, with a useful newspaper / umbrella loop on the back for easy use when on the go. Each sheet is made to exacting standards with hand stitched corners and polished edges Inglés That case makers are renowned for, making each a unique piece of art.

I highly recommend to have a look to her website

www.holdallandco.com

Also you can follow her @ Also holdallandco & www.facebook.com / holdallco

When I received the folio, I noticed the little vintage touches like the little strap that wrapped the package. After knowing the brand, its ethos and vision I decided to create an outfit to go beautifully with the bag.

I opted for a real vintage jacket from the 40s from the British Army, taupe trousers, tan brogues and a red tie to make the outfit to look a bit more formal.

Hope you like this post,

Adrián

What can you do when you're pretty hungover? Nothing is better that just hanging out with some friends after a wilde house party, drinking the rest of the champagne, taking some pictures and seeing men sleeping on the bonnet of a van at day time.

After having gone shopping, we decided to go to the other part of the city... tube? No thanks, we'll go there walking, even if we spend almost all the day long. After all, we live in a beautiful city.

I will miss Marco

2011-06-26T11:54:00.000+01:00

Because we met in a job interview
Because we went straight to the pub to drink some beers thinking that we wouldnt get the job
Because they called us telling we were the only ones who got the job
Because the Buckhingham Palace is in East London
Because we found the most beautiful woman in the world
Because to fall down, to drop ties in the toilet and to lose your outfit never was so funny
Because we planned a greater fire than the Great Fire of London
Because of the White Prision
Because Regents Park will never be the same

I'll be missing you man!

Massie Party Commercial

2010-10-25T13:07:00.001+01:00

Hey guys,

I've been quite busy lately. Work, work and more work. But between reading and reading, we take our camera to have fun. This is the result: the commercial of the House Party we keep on throwing twice a year for 3 years already, The Massie Party. Parties which are the excuse to meet all our friends who live in different cities and countries.

I'm looking foward to the 13th to come.

Hope you like it.

VETO - Cannibal

Films: Gummo

2010-10-06T09:22:00.007+01:00

Gummo (1997) is one of these films that make you think about our own society. This film, with a strong surrealist influences, is about the society that hardly is shown on tv. These people who has nothing to do with their lifes and they just waste time doing nothing. A very interesting film where violence, homophobia, racism... are shown in a diferent and breath-taken way.

Do not except the prototype of film we're used to watch. The plot of the flim is difficult to be described since it's the camera who follows the character as if it was a documental.

Some scenes really worth it. For instance, the scene where two kids seem to play with the bunny guy with toy guns is really shocking. The violence is not in the guns, is on the people who use them. Another scence that shocked me is when Solomon is taking a bath in a very dirty bath with dark water and he is eating while he's mum is washing his hair.

Without any doubt, this is one of these films you have to watch at least once in your life.

50's Night

2010-06-10T18:05:00.004+01:00

To go to a club. To notice the music is not good. To see all people around you are chavs. To leave the club. To go into a fast food restaurant. To notice how many beers we have drunk. To walk on the street singing Italian songs. To finish the last nite of the BK's Team exactly how we started a year ago. To not forget the night.

Ir a una discoteca. Darte cuenta de que la musica es una mierda. Ver que todos los que te rodean son chonis. Irte de ese sitio. Entrar en un restaurante de comida basura. Tener constancia de las cervezas que habeis bebido. Cantar canciones italianas por la calle. Acabar justo como empezamos hace un año. No olvidar la noche.
