… a glimpse of what's haPpening

it’s raining again

Her style: Faux fur 3/4 trench coat + liquid leggings + wellington boots + oversized shades. The fact that she wore the liquid leggings in such a casual way was great. Her key item -the one that I liked the most- was the trench, the oversized faux collar was to-die-for. Usually you could find items like that in vintage stores and they are timeless.

His style: I liked the messy look of his skinny jeans with the motorcycle boots (you gotta look closer but the boots tied up at different heights). His scarf and big sports coat balance the slim fit of the jeans. Last but not least his bike is super cool!

Here is the setting: eYe was walking down the street, waiting for the light to change, when this guy parked his car, grabbed his phone and walked fast to the Prada Store. I only had the chance to take 1 picture, and thank God it came out nicely! The way he parked his car and ran to the store was how we see it in the movies, fast but slow… does this makes sense to you? I couldn’t stop him to ask him about what he was wearing, he was on the phone, and my stalker rules prevented me of bothering him.

Anyways, he nailed it.

Beige Oxford Shirt + Lime Green Silk Tie + Fern Green Sports coat + Medium grey light weight flannel pants + Barrett + Rectangular sunglasses = is stylish.

I know it’s hard but take a closer look to the length of his pants, shoes and socks. I just wish every guy would have this clear. Maybe I am tough but a dressy pant too long looks awful.

Sunny day @ Geary St

Black on black it’s not only safe but stylish.

What is completely unexpected is that the huge safety pin is part of the coat, not something that he added… The fact that the sports coat has no closure, it’s boxy and with and oversized lapel make this a piece that will absolutely grab your attention.

Please take into consideration his haircut and leather portfolio -this last one shown vaguely in the picture-

I see a lot of people everyday. Only a few will catch my eYe…

In this case, he was smiling and standing waiting for someone or something -don’t know-. 

The way he was standing, his smile, his hat, the last button of his sports coat unbuttoned -as it’s supposed to be-, his hands in his pockets, and his overall confidence just captured my attention.
