Current Obsession - Transparent/Translucent Bags

I absolutely love them! They're whimsical whilst also having the ability to add a contemporary edge to any look - so refreshing when viewed against the backdrop of vintage inspired leather bags seen in just about every shop and carried by every boy/girl. This is definitely a quirky/more avant-garde/futuristic look. However aesthetically beautiful they may be, being see-through does mean that the contents of your bag will be on display for prying eyes, you might want to have a smaller non see-through pouch for personal items and valuables to be safely placed inside the bag. This "trend" definitely has my vote of approval.

4 Strings - Take Me Away Into The Night

Filmed in the beautiful city of Cape Town 10+ years ago. I love all the mid-century architectural details in the shots and the diversity of the actors. I don’t really know why but looking back at the 90’s/early 2000’s renders me feeling a deep sense of nostalgia. You’ve just got to love and laugh at the fashion!

Elegance

This is absolute perfection. I love the mixture of casual denim with a smart fur(faux I hope)trimmed coat. I've put something similar together before - great juxtaposition.

Benjamin Eidem for GQ German

Daily Beard / Daily Portrait

Cool guy, why you so cool? With your awesome beard, mysterious gaze and all. Please teach me your beardly ways.
Oh my goodness, yet another fantastic suit. I'm all for pastel shades. Not because fashion told me so. When pulled off like this pastels look so fresh and stylish.I love the floral shirt in this combination, it's unexpected. The skinny fit of the pants is just perfect. There's nothing worse than baggy suit pants. Well, there are things just as "bad" if not "worse" but they're really just "first world problems". Enjoy.
This suit is so incredibly beautiful. From the fabric to the double breasted jacket to the fit to the lenght. Everyhting just works so well. I'm just going to run around the block till my legs look that great.

Tousled Locks

Slightly messy but super romantic. I love this natural and bohemian look. No high maintenance layers and fringes - length with a simple part. From what I have noticed hair tends not to part directly in the middle of the forehead but slightly off-centre. Working with the natural parting of ones hair is key to achieve an effortless look - much easier than fighting the natural fall with heat and product! I wish more young women in my little city would grow their lovely locks!
