Spring '15 - classics as essentials

Spring is here - that means listings of "season essentials" are also popping up every here and there. I might be boring but I've noticed that the listings I use to make in my head seem to include almost always the same items. No matter the season. For example - a blue blazer is an essential despite the time of year we are talking about. Classics as essentials for men - Spring 2015 So again this time my listing became to feature in general five - I dare to say - classic #menswear pieces.

Monthly DLA-instagram review - February

February went fast. As usual - a short review of instagram-shots - featuring a few wiwt-lookdowns and a few others. As said earlier I don't update the feed on a daily basis - even though recently I’ve been a bit more active there - but some sneak peeks of what I wear and what I do as well and some other things I find personally interesting can be found from there on more regular pace.
