Only few guys can pull together a look like this, it requires a certain personality. First, the layering: bright yellow crew neck t-shirt, black fleece zip cardigan and dark green velvet blazer with capri pants, converse and a fedora hat. Frank Sinatra once said “Cock your hat-angles are attitudes”. In this case, he committed to the hat and wore it with confidence.
You could easily find a guide on how to dress in a bookstore, but it will only show you “a recipe” of basics outfits. The point is not to dress as every single magazine or to wear the latest trend, is to mix and match and try to maintain your trade mark. Sense of style is underrated and not everyone has it. The key is in the way you pull what you are wearing and it doesn’t matter the brand or price of what you wear. Usually when you meet someone who really knows about fashion, they say they buy from vintage stores, from some high-end designers and from mass market brands (H&M, Zara, Gap, Uniqlo, etc).
While walking at the Eiffel Tower you see a lot of people, but among the entire crowed she popped. The boyfriend jeans and blazer with the feminine cotton and lace shirt, booties, Chanel bag and the cardigan around the shoulders made her outfit complete/perfect. Her confidence while walking was amazing –for an instant I wished I had a video camera instead-.
That night I went to dinner and it was impossible not to capture the view. The Eiffel Tower shinned beautifully. I was lucky enough to capture my best friend while he enjoyed the scene. He was wearing a classic white shirt with dark green thin stripes and a perfectly fitted vest. I am not a huge fan of ivory blazers, but in his case it worked great because of the combination of earth tones.
Who said you can’t wear herringbone, stripes and color at the same time?
Mr. Miranda is certainly not afraid of experimenting.

Fillmore Street has a friendly neighborhood feel, while filled with unique and delightful stores, restaurants and coffee. Walking down the street my attention was captivated by a song –from Bloc Party-, turned my head and there it was a super cool store -The Brooklyn Circus SF-. Went inside and must confess that the store setup is amazing. The vintage inspired setting provides a unique intimate shopping environment very inviting, not only to do some shopping but also to have fun.
The clothing is really catchy, casual with pop art elements and limited –who doesn’t like limited edition pieces?-. They carry selective specialty brands (example: Nudie Jeans, 10 Deep, Imported Nike, Creative Recreation, Rich Yung, Maharishi, and Free Gold Watch) and on their own The Brooklyn Circus label and BKc private Collection. The lifestyle brand offers a wide variety of clothing, accessories, traveling bags for his and hers.
While doing some research about the brand I found that their first store was opened 3 years ago in Brooklyn/New York. The Brooklyn Circus and BKc brands are now offered in specialty shops in San Francisco, LA, Chicago and Japan and available globally through their online shop (www.thebkcircus.com/shop)
It’s a PLUS that they have a blog. They promote and inspire the shoppers by conveying and expressing their journey as young entrepreneurs that are pursuing their passion.
The Brooklyn Circus SF is located @ 1521 Fillmore Street, San Francisco CA
and this is the SF feeling…
Gush! Yesterday was chilly in the city. I can’t believe he was standing, smoking his cigarette like if it was 75 degrees. Anyways overall look 10/10. It’s a shame that you could not see it in the picture, but the stitching of the buttons of his shirt is RED. Dunno but like when shirts are not tucked in….

Shoes Buttero -available at Barneys
Two words: red cuffs.
This jacket is just beautiful. Please carefully analyze it: red lining cuffs, suede elbow patches, pockets the lapel. I would not change a detail. What about the sequins necklace? Definitely would make part of her outfit, if you would like one, you got to go to Hong Kong to buy it… I know… damn it!
