BLUE'S CLUES

Life can be a bit complicated, but your clothes don’t have to. Just stick to a couple of updated basics or rummage through yours and your dad’s closet for interesting finds you didn’t think you had.

Here are some of my picks:

URBAN PREPPY FARMER

Pardon my self-promotion as I watch my skin darken from the blazing equatorial sun in my navy shorts, red gingham button-down shirt and loafers.


(A photo of me, Yup – you got it! Like my friend Anton, I figured we have been very elusive and hardly show our faces in our blogs compared to Ninja boy wonder – Cholo haha)

I might have gone a little crazy but I would rather walk around Salcedo park than toast myself alive inside my room and end up looking like an obese Mr. Gingerbread man.

The truth is, I only wanted to change out of my pajamas. So, what did you wear over the weekend?

FEBRUARY IS BASICALLY LIKE MONTHS OF THERAPY IN 7 DAYS

I have been told that men do not shop enough. I quickly responded “it doesn’t really matter because being current has everything to do with finding the right place you want to shop, whether it’s Fred Perry or a flea market . Certain things are classic and they do stay."
Last Tuesday, I got myself two gingham shirts in purple and red- the latter, a contemporary take on the conventional print. Well again, with gingham, subtlety is not necessary a virtue.

And some:
1. Bespoke black denim trousers from Viktor
2. New brogue’s in brown
3. Long overdue The Sartorialist book by Scott Schuman ordered from Barnes and
Noble
4. Eco shopping bags from Gap and Nordstrom
5. A box of macarons from Laduree thanks to a friend who just got back from Europe
6. And 17 copies of Monocle ( back issues) in really good condition from a good
friend who found out about my Monocle addiction via my blog haha
