Goodbye Summer featuring Hook & Echo and Jack Spade

     Half way through summer I couldn’t wait for fall to arrive, but now it's officially fall and I already miss summer.  Let's say goodbye to summer with one last trip to the French Riviera.  Imagine we're taking a light stroll down the sandy beaches with essentials in tow.  Until we meet again next June.  Summer, let’s enjoy one last night together.

Lounging with Donn Mason

     On my rare days off, it's all about comfort and relaxing around the house.  To help me with that I look to my brethren over at Donn Mason who has always been one of my suppliers for boxers.  It's rare to find apparel made in the states, but Don Mason has been supplying men with fine underwear for over the past ten years.  How many companies can say they ship their underwear in a faux book and a hand written note from the founder? Life doesn't get much better than a morning filled with breakfast, American made boxers, and a weekend full of football.

  I don't always wear boxers, but when I do I wear Donn Mason.

Fall Plaid with Ted Baker, J Crew, & Gucci

     This past Friday I was asked to help judge an Edgar Allan Poe themed fashion show for the Sacramento Film & Music Festival.  Sacramento's young fashion talent represented well and I was honored to be a part of the festivities.

     Although it is still hot in Northern California, I've started breaking out the fall lineup but balanced the heat with lighter fabrics such as this Ted Baker linen blazer.

Fall Style with J Crew and Too Boot New York

     Who says I can't wear white after Labor Day?  One of my favorite classic looks is pairing a blue blazer with white denim.  This outfit was a spin-off of that look.

     As always, thank you for reading.

Labor Day with H&M, J Crew, and Coach

     The Boss and I made another trip back to Healdsburg to hang out with our buddy John, owner of Viszlay Vineyard.  He occasionally throws a BBQ for members and friends, this was the first one we were able to attend.  Food, wine, and people were all great, unfortunately I did not win the grape stomp competition.

     This outfit was all about simplicity, lounging, and enjoying the last few days of summer.

As always, thank you for reading.
