Movies

This is the first post covering Cinema, But last night I had an evening at the local theaters and had the opportunity to watch the movie (Inception) the one word I can choose to best describe it is “Amazing”. It was well written, well shot with superb performances by Leonardo Di Caprio as well as the entire cast. I must also admit how much I enjoyed the wardrobe in almost all scenes. Not overkill but well stated garments, good fits with attention to details that I caught here and there. If your looking for something to do this weekend go have a sit and watch. It’ll be well worth it. Cheers…

What Not To Wear!

2 Comments 21 July 2010

GD.C is back and in the nick of time! As I’ve been out and about I just keep seeing so many things wrong that shouldn’t be happening. I love fashion as much as the next person, probably a bit more, but theres just some things a man should NOT do. So without further delay I present to you what not to wear this season.

1. With all do Respect to the late Great King of Pop. No one should wear white socks with Black shoes. Grey, Black or any other color for that matter will do and yes people can see your socks under those pants.2.This picture alone makes me laugh and even though Zach Galifianakis is on the cover of GQ this month, still no man should tuck his Tshirt in. Thats it, nothing more to it.

3.Unless your one of these gentlemen do Not wear sunglasses at night. Is it really necessary to put on a pair of Blue Blockers when going to the supermarket or Lounge in the evening. 4. In case you haven’t noticed its summertime outside. Its 90 degrees outside and people are melting so why do you have a ski hat on?

5. FYI an ear piece is not an accessory it should stay in your car when you leave it, Please.6. Unless your 16 years old and go to highschool No grown man should be wearing socks with sandals. Drop the socks and let the toes breathe.

After The Party

1 Comment 15 July 2010

The launch party was quite an event. Plenty of people showed and new friends were made. More importantly “Polished Penny” is up and running. Here’s a little background on the label and how it came to be. For some time now I’ve wanted to put out a product that was a reflection of my self the clothes I wear, would like to wear and appreciate. However to create an idea and execute it on your own is not the easiest thing to do, To say the least. Fast forward to earlier this year I meet my business partner Mr. Ian C. Irlanda (a polished gentleman in every right) and we begin the blue print for “Polished Penny”. We wanted to create a brand that encompasses the Classic gentleman with runway influence and New york Roots cause that’s who makes us and so we did. Without further ado we give you “Polished Penny“. Thank you to all our Family and friends who came out to celebrate the evening.

Accessories, Trends

Sunglasses

1 Comment 23 June 2010

So whats new with shades? There have been some trends coming back to life like the John Lennon rounded sunglasses. Wayfarers and Aviators are still doing well and the Blue Blocker style is still pushing along also. Lets move away from round silhouette’s and step into something more square. I’ve been catching an eye full of attractive square sunglasses this summer on folks and from labels. I know sunglasses can be an accessory some can do without especially if you tend to lose them, but If your the kind of person who cant hold onto a pair of sunglasses for a long time you might want to look into investing in a lower price point label. Knockaround sunglasses and forever 21 offer some nice selections at extremely reasonable prices. Try out some more square frames if you wanna step away from same old. Cheers.
