Spring 2011: Thomas Browne

Thom Browne is known for controversial clothing and fashion shows, and this time that did not change. He makes a suit look terrific with shorts and the high socks complete the perfect scholar boy look. My favorite is definitely the shark printed suit.

Oh Lanvin

We are so excited about spring 2011 men's fashion week in Paris and Milan!! The designers are definitely rocking the runways this time. Lanvin is one of my favorite fashion houses, and their creative director, Albert Elbaz is a pure genius. I completely love this collection, the fabrics, colors, textures, and most of all, the sandals.

Weekend at San Diego

This weekend was awesome; I spent it at one of my favorite places in the world, San Diego, CA.

Since I live in Mexico, I can't find things that I like and It's really great when I have the time and money to go to SD for some shopping.

First, I went to one of my favorite stores to shop affordable clothing: Forever 21, or Heritage 1981 for men. I love that not many men know about that section at F21 and they think it's only for girls.

Then I went to Nordstrom, H&M, American Apparel, and at the end of the day, to Bloomingdales. There, I was searching for some new things, and at the Marc by Marc Jacobs rack, I found these two amazing shirts. I loved the print on the first one and I absolutely adored the metal dots or whatever they're called. I got one of them, guess which one...

The second one!!! =D And I haven't worn it yet, maybe I'll make a photo-shoot with it...

After shopping we went to my favorite hamburger chain in the world: IN N OUT, gosh I can't have enough of it. Then we went to the hotel and the next day we were at Ensenada, BC Mexico again.

Sarah Burton: McQueen's successor

Sarah Burton was recently named Creative Director for Alexander McQueen, due to the designer's suicidal. She was the second in command of the brand and now, she is the leader. She graduated from Central St. Martins, the same one Alexander attended. Many people have disagreed on the Gucci Group's decision to continue with the label, mainly because they think the true mind and artist is now gone. Maybe they're right, but maybe this girl can still portrait Lee's vision and talent. A simple comparison to this could be Chanel and Karl Lagerfeld.

So do you think she can handle it?

NEW GLASSES!!!

As I told you, I wanted a new pair of eye-glasses, because I was kinda tired of the old ones. Well, I went to this event held by Oliver Peoples at their store in San Diego called "Summer Sessions". They had a DJ playing, drinks for customers, and a very cool environment. I was looking at the glasses, and fell in love with this pair, which I got for an amazing price!

They even gave me a CD with really cool music, thank you so much!

So, do you like them, or you like the old ones more?

Saks closing doors

Yesterday, I was at Fashion Valley mall in San Diego, California. And it caught my eye that Saks Fifth Avenue is closing its doors, due to underperforming locations to boost its bottom line. They´re closing in San Diego and they already have closed at Portland, Oregon. “The planned closing of our San Diego store is consistent with our strategy of focusing our resources on our most productive stores,” said Saks chief executive Steve Sadove.

The question here is why one of the most prestigious store in the city is going for good. I personaly believe that southern californians are not that interested in high fashion. Another reason could be the economical crisis that we´re still embracing. Some stores could handle it, some of them not. I´m kind of sad that they´re leaving. It gave the mall some kind of status. Oh btw, thay had a cleaning sale with discounts from 10 to 30% off.

Fashion against AIDS

Today, H&M is launching a new collection called "Fashion against AIDS", and as the name says it, 25% of the sales from this collection will be donated towards HIV/AIDS prevention projects. The previous video was recorded at Coachella this past April; some of the store's associates spent a day at the festival, showing this new collection to the young music lovers, whom this project is designed for.

I think it'll be a total success, and I'm hoping that they raise a lot of money for that charity. It's a good cause that every fashion enterprise should take in consideration. Thank you H&M!

These are my favorite pieces from the men's collection:

I need new glasses

I have a pair of Ermenegildo Zegna glasses since 1 year ago, and I think it's time to get a new pair. I want to stick with plastic, but now I want a rounded shape, and I'm thinking seriously to change from black to brown or transparent maybe; they look kinda cool. What do you think?

Tomorrow I'm going shopping to San Diego, and I think I'm gonna buy them at the Oliver Peoples store at Fashion Valley. I love the brand and the designs, it's such a cool brand. So these are the ones I have on my sight:
