Walking Dogs

I have a small dog named JoJo and Im dog-sitting three others this week. It was a nice cool afternoon on sunday, so after church I took them all to Iman park. The area reminds me of a suburban brooklyn. I LOVE Iman park. 

What I wore: Calvin Klein button Down Shirt, Vintage Express Design Studio light khaki sweater,  Nudie Jeans, Saddle Tan Cole Haan Oxfords and Stripe Dress Socks from Gap 

                     

I have had these Nudie jeans for a little over a year now. I purchased them from Barneys Co-op New York. They are rather uncomfortable (if you ask me) but the fit is perfection. This is a DRY denim, which means that you are not to wash them for 6mos of owning them. Sounds gross? Its cool, its a Denim. The good news is... the older they get after wear and wash, the better they look. Only time will tell. 

Hope everyone enjoyed your sunday!!!!!!

Pop Socks

One signature look that I am tackling this season are what I call:  POP SOCKS. I love the concept of adding a POP to any simple (I repeat simple) attire. GQ Magazine did a feature in last months issue on the wow factor and edge that colored and textured socks can give. Examples below: 

Success's Best

Well, I haven't made a post in nearly a month so as I left an amazing meeting with Juliana Mesquita of K-la Boutique on Friday, I called up my photographer to meet me and capture some shots near my favorite glass building in Buckhead.

I wore a tailored classic grey Zara suit, Calvin Klein collar shirt, Calvin Klein pinstripe slim tie, Clavin Klein patent leather skinny belt, Cole Haan patent leather lace ups, Liz Claiborne tie clip, Micheal Kors rose gold watch and Zara business carrier.

The Ruff Edge

Anchor Shorts

Flashback

Last time I was home visiting, I came across some old pics of my dad. The shorts that he wore in these particular pics reminded me of some throw back 70's swim trunks I purchased at the beginning of the summer. So today I got a chance to sit at the pool and get some shots in them to compare.

Just threw on some simple classic Rayban sunglasses and Zara nylon flip-flops! My dads were defiantly much shorter but both had the same vintage 70's detailing. 

R.I.P Dad. Today was one of many days that you were on my mind. Love You Always

Summer Breeze

After a meeting, I took a quick stroll around Atlantic Station to enjoy some sun before the overcast and rain came. This is what I wore:

Light pink 1MX collar button down shirt by Express Men, white slim fit pants by ZARA,  blue sports blazer by ZARA,  saddle tan oxford shoes by Cole Haan and floral paper boy hat also by ZARA.

I love Blazers! I only have like a million of them. They are an essential piece in a man's closet. The only detailed piece that I was missing was a pocket square, which is a MUST for blazers. Defiantly on my TO-BUY list.

A classic pair of oxfords go a long way. These saddle tan colton oxfords by Cole Haan tie everything together at the end quite nicely.

Florals were really in this season for men. LOVE this floral paperboy hat that I came across in ZARA

Hope everyone enjoyed the day. Remember, whenever you are given a chance.....SHOOT THE BREEZE! Peace

The Lake

Took some time out today to sit by the water at Piedmont Park and shoot the breeze. I needed to take in some calmness. This is what I wore:  

A light graphic tank top by Zara, linen denim shorts also by Zara, stripe band straw fedora from Urban Outfitters, sterling silver chain bracelet from H&M, canvas Sperrys and vintage cross messanger bag. I decided to tuck in and belt the tank just to add a little prep look.

Found this vintage leather cross messenger bag at a yard sale. Came in handy for a bottle of water and a small snack.

RELAXED! 

Details are everything. Even for man. The small little button detail on the ends gives you the ability to add length or shorten them and adds just enough personality to complete this outfit

Hope everyone enjoyed their day and leave comments!

Simple Summer Tee

The Summertime can be quite hot and sticky. Thats why I LOVE the Simple V-neck tees. They are light, masculine and sexy for all men. Dress them up or down. Available in just about any store with a range of different colors and fits. 

Abstract Angles

Found this electric colored light weight summer sweater for $3 at a thrift store in Little 5 Points. So, I decided to throw it on  with a pair of slim fits and my Grey Ant Status Sunglasses for a cool Sunday afternoon in the sun. 

I feel like a black patent leather shoe doesn't always have to be so formal. I mean, patent leather aren't to be worn with just a tux anymore. This Cole Haan Patent Leather Lace Up is great shoe to be daring with. 

Tiffany&Co Venetian Link Sterling Silver Bracelet adds a nice simple touch to anything. 

Hope everyone enjoyed their day. Thanks and leave a comment! K.Jamaal
