I spent an awesome weekend Upstate New York at Scribners Lodge filled with Veuve Clicquot champagne and great company. I had the opportunity to wear some of my favorite winter pieces while having a good time. Wearing ONS Coat and Tomas Maier sneakers. Wearing Baracuta jacket and UGG winter boots. Wearing Mackage parka and UGG winter boots. Wearing Dries Van Noten sweater and UGG Winter Boots.
I remember when I was on the cover of Express Magazine back in December of 2014. In the interview I spoke about one of my plans for the future of possibly starting my own swimwear line. It wasn’t anything written in stone, but was just an idea I had. Finally, after a few months I decided to start the project, the first piece of the collection is a flesh colored swim brief . I drew inspiration from the idea of playing with sand colors and the playfulness and sexiness of the illusion of being “au naturel”, which is the name of this brief. The flesh colored items in clothing and shoes have been present in fashion in the last seasons but never in swimwear for obvious reasons. Those reasons were the motivation that inspired me to take this direction. The design is a classic brief, not too small and not too big, just the classic speedo cut for men that are… let’s say, courageous, to wear a snug piece of swimwear. I’m very proud to say …
Hawaiian Indigo Ralph Lauren Polo shirt, Hawaiian Indigo Ralph Lauren shorts, Nixon Watch, Tod’s leather bracelet, Ralph Lauren white sneakers, Alfred Kerbs sunglasses. _________________________________________________________________ It’s been kind of crazy week and sometimes you need to dress accordingly, not that this is a crazy outfit but for me trying this matchy-matchy was kind of an unusual idea that actually paid off. I’ve seen this trend in guys going on for quite a while now but it wasn’t until I visited the ralph Lauren store and saw this Hawaiian print; the shirt and the shorts right next to each other, that I decided that I will experiment and I’m pleased with the outcome. What do you think? Leave a comment weather you like it or not, I’m always open to honest opinions… I love it. I think is now, fresh and fun. You can get this outfit visiting the Ralph Lauren store at the Renaissance Mall here in Aruba or just click om the links and buy online wherever you are! Follow me on instagram and tag me …
I am very proud to introduce the ‘Caribbean King’ Special Edition Pazzi sunglasses, designed by Silvio Vasconi in collaboration with me. The Caribbean King Special Edition Pazzi sunglasses are the perfect accessories for life in the Caribbean. I’m a huge fan of tortoiseshell eyewear, so when Silvio Vasconi approached me with this collaboration idea, I knew that his Special Edition ‘Pazzi’ frames would be a bright, beautiful tortoiseshell style, with rich, brown lenses. With their distinctive ‘Pazzi’ wayfarer shape, The Caribbean King Special Edition Pazzi frames suit both male and female wearers. The beautiful tortoiseshell Italian acetate is hand-finished for a stunning glossy finish, and the anti-reflective coating on the back of the CR39 lenses provides a striking and distinctive flash of colour. The ‘Caribbean King’ logo is inscribed on to the inside of the left temple, proving the authenticity of this Special Edition Silvio Vasconi frame. If you are in Aruba you can buy them exclusively at Sun Specs located at Palm Beach Plaza. Also you can buy them online clicking here.
Crown print quilted bomber jacket by Dolce&Gabbana, Ripped Gold 14 fit denim with crown and bee embroidery jeans by @ Dolce&Gabbana, Hand Bag by @dolce&Gabanna, Neo Noir Sunglasses by Le Specs, Watch by Nixon. __________________________________________________________________ What a pleasant surprise to see crowns and also bees in the newest collection of Dolce&Gabbana, crowns fit for a king of course *laughs*. “Crowns have long been a heraldic symbol of royalty, courage and power and along with the industrious, loyal and kind icon of the bee, these two emblems have been unified and adopted as a leitmotif of the Dolce&Gabbana in the Fall Winter 2015-16 menswear collection. In their familiar concept of high/low, Dolce&Gabbana transpose these age-old symbols of human virtue onto shirts, embroidered tailoring and accessories. Universally recognized symbols in their own right become fashionable icons for the season, and beyond.” If you are in Aruba make sure you visit the Dolce&Gabbana store located at the Renaissance Mall, maybe we can go shopping together next time.

If any of you guys live in Aruba, Panamá, Venezuela or the city of Miami you can find me in the new edition of Tendencia Magazine. I did a fashion editorial with them wearing Ralph Lauren in the beautiful Renaissance Island.
So… Sometimes you are wearing a light denim shirt and white shorts and you feel like blank canvas; that’s when you need to accessorize to give color and style to your outfit. This blog post contains 3 of my new favorite accessories I’m wearing this summer.
So… Sauvage is a luxury swimwear brand making beautiful, fun and comfortable swim wear for him and her in San Diego, California since 1985.
So, i’ve been forced to give up the coffee, not an easy thing, specially if you started drinking coffee at age 5, my mom was and is addicted to coffee and me and my siblings we all grew up drinking coffee…. But this is not a coffee article, it is a teami article… So, I just started drinking tea, mainly because my coffee machine is broke… Im an english breakfast man myself, on the sweet side, not to crazy with weird flavors… I had the chance to talk with the people of teami and try their products. I got the profit tea and the energy one, which i thought it was great since i started training again. The tea tastes great, I was actually really surprised, wasn’t expecting to like it so much but I do and it feels fresh and natural… I mean, of course it is natural but you can actually see the leaves and see how the whole infusion is made in your plastic tumbler. You really feel you are drinking a natural, organic …
So… Here’s this beautiful pink ombré shirt paired with a royal blue blazer and jeans. I fell in love with the shirt the minute I saw it at Ralph Lauren and then I decided to create an outfit around it. My head works like this: That beautiful pink shirt I had to tone it down with a masculine blue jacket, I know, i know..colors have no gender, but I love the contrast and then to make it more casual I chose a pair of Ralph Lauren jeans from their new collection. All pieces are from their new summer collection, included the gorgeous leather Duffel bag, an ideal companion for the frequent traveler. You can fit almost anything in there and it smells so goooood. The haze sunglasses, called Raze in Electric Blue are a statement piece, the blue on the top of the lens gives them this unique look setting them apart from regular aviators. The watermelon Lecimes case, as I’m sure you know it by now is my favorite case this season.
I could write about the specs of a swim trunk or instead, I could tell you how great they are in simple words. First of all, they are a little shorter than the usual classic Moorea, it’s a modern twist that is on-trend right now and looks good and sexy and even thou The Master, that’s how these shorts are called, has been since 1996, these kind of short shorts have become more popular in the past 5 years. Everyday, men are exploring new territories in fashion and these short shorts are the best example. I mean, if you have great legs why not show them off a little? It is always great to have variety in your closet, if you already have a Moorea, this pair would be a great addition to your collection. They feature really masculine colors and a nautical theme pattern. From the new collection these are my favorites, the girl working in the Vilebrequin store at the Renaissance Mall in Aruba showed them to me the minute I told her I was looking for new shorts. I guess everybody …

Now, did you see the print? This cool one eyed sun and popsicle? How cool and different and weird but weird good, you know? I just love the print so much, so summerish, so fresh and now …
Kids, summer is around the corner, you need to gear up with new swimwear for the most active and fun season of the year!

This is a great choice and they look amazing in pictures and if you know me a little, you know I love that!
