GOD.IS.MY.STYLIST ♣ INSPIRED BY THE GREAT GATSBY

GREATThe Great gatsby ;  when most people caught on to the return of the 1974 classic to the big screen, the wardrobe and costumes might have been on a few minds, but for one Who has never  been shy to reveal that I owe a chunk of my personal style to watching classic movies, i was beyond excited . The return of this classic was more like going back to school .  Edyth and I decided to cook up something to show our appreciation  for this classic gem. I decided to go with  the signature summer white jacket that costume designer Theoni V. Aldredge and  a young Ralph Lauren made iconic . Wide lapels, a flamboyant tie, an accommodating shirt and an inherited aura ….ladies and gentlemen , the Gatsby unchained .

IMG_6941

Vintage Gold , that’s we call the ones you want pat yourself on the pack for finding .  With our work for the soon to launch online vintage store its been a while since I kept any gold to myself.  These cordovan long wing brogues from Bostonian just had to come with me when I spotted them , the leather almost spoke to me . I brought them home and gave the leather some treatment and just like I envisioned them , they came to life . It has a comfort heel, I don’t know how old that technology is but it sure makes this pair a golden one . If you are a man of many shoes like I am keep your peeled for the soon to come online store , the goodies we have curated are to live for . ♣
