Weekend casual - burgers and champagne

It's been a busy week - so on Friday we decided to head over to the countryside for some relaxation. And as I know the posting frequency has been rather low during the summer - due some work and other projects - I want to give you a little heads up as there are some big and good things coming up with DLA. What's coming up is stuff that I am personally quite excited about, stuff that will take this game into a whole new level. So stay tuned. But before that a few shots from yesterday - including casual weekend gear, homemade burgers, champagne and views from the sea coast... And that little fellow - on his own seat...

This fall makes no exception.For this fall and winter 2015 the company has again come up with a collection and seasonal look book that in terms of inspiration and aesthetics maintains those high-quality standards they have set for themselves.

Brasserie Kämp - Sunday Burgers

Finally it seems that summer is here. Last weekend was sunny and warm, so it was perfect for strolling around and enjoying the city. On Sunday we decided to head to Brasserie Kämp and see if they really serve one of the best burgers in town - as is often claimed. You can find the full review @tyylit.fi but here are a few pictures of what I was wearing for the day and what we got to eat. Shorts and blazer - casual summer wear I have earlier written shortly about shorts for summer and how to wear them. On Sunday I decided to wear shorts with a button-up shirt and blazer - a combination which in general divides opinions. However as...

Monthly DLA-instagram review - July

Already August and again it feels that July went by (too) fast. Even though I got to enjoy the second part of my summer vacation and did not have that much plans for that - a lot of stuff came up that kept me busy. Starting the weekend with the monthly review of some pictures featured at instagram, this time including mostly wiwt-lookdown shots as my posting frequency in July on instagram (as well as on the blog) was a bit slower. But will get back on track this month again. For more wiwt- and other pics - check and follow and check out @dresslikea on instagram. id="" align="alignnone" And one more throwback from Pitti Uomo.
