On the Street.... Gianluca Bocache, Rome

Finally I found A great mens shop in Rome!

Run by Gianluca Bocache (above) and Andrea Luparelli, the shop is super chic and specializes in custom suits and shoes. I hate to admit it but I always judge a shop by the owners and these guys are cool. I love a peak lapel suit, however the question is always one or two-button. I always go peak with one-button but I'm swayed by Gianluca's two-button swagger.

Unfortuneately my shooting schedule in Rome was so tight (made worse by the never ending rain) I wasn't able to shoot the shop but it will give me a reason to return to Rome asap.

If you find yourself in the Eternal City here is their shop info.

Clic Gallery & Bookstore, New York

Clic Gallery & Bookstore down on Centre Street is really fantastic. I hardly ever get out of there without finding a book I cannot live without.

Recently I bought a great book, Space Project by Vincent Fournier. I have no idea what the book is about but I love the photographs!

I love the silhouette of his coat, that nipped-in waist is perfect.

I think most of us (men and women) make the mistake of buying our outwear too oversized.

Little Bit Of This, A Little Bit Of That, Madrid

Saturday in Madrid was one of those perfect Autumn days....warm in the sun and cool in the shade. Perfect conditions for those impractical combinations that are only practically perfect for a few days a year.

A flirty cotton summer dress paired with a lightweight wool coat or an oversized cardigan, why fight it? Give into a little bit of this and a little bit of that.
