I’ve been really bad and lazy in terms of answering questions but I will try to mend my way on this. I will actually start going through the questions on weekly basis and have every Sunday a round-up of the questions with answers. So if you have something in mind - please feel free to shoot! And starting with a few couple of questions I’ve got just recently. Q: “I love the shine on your shoes! What method do you use to take care of / shine them?” A: First of all, thanks for this! Although I need to admit that for a while now I haven’t been really active in terms of polishing my shoes. For some reason I’ve...
To start the week one more set of pics from our trip to Barcelona - featuring a sport coat combination I wore for an evening when we headed out for dinner at the beach in a restaurant called Bestial (definitely worth a recommendation). As most of my outfits during the vacation consisted of shorts and casual button-up shirts (with the sleeves rolled up), this was actually the only time I wore a tie during the whole trip. Wearing a light weight, unstructured silk-wool sport coat by Pal Zileri - spread collar denim shirt from Massimo Dutti and high-waisted mtm-trousers from Herrainpukimo. To keep the ensemble casual and relaxed but still dressed up to be appropriate for a bit more finer dinner a...
Earlier this week I wrote shortly about sport coats for fall and winter (you can find the post here). I know that most of the jackets featured in the first part can be beyond reach for many thanks to high prices. Therefore I decided to take a quick look to some options suitable in case looking a blazer with a bit lower budget. Sport coats on budget Fact is that there are not many brands / manufacturers making quality sport coats with a low retail price. SuitSupply is one and then there's brands such as Land's End, J.Crew, Club Monaco, Massimo Dutti and Boggi but some of these can be hard to get in case you are living in...
About a month ago together with a few friends we got this idea of taking part for a happening called Tough Viking - now being organized for the first time in Helsinki. Although I wasn’t’ suppose to be in the team in the first place as I got the weekend already scheduled for other things but in the end it seems that in a couple of hours I will be participating for this run after all.
12km run and 15 obstacles including ice water, mud, fire, monkey bars, american football players and electricity…

Throwback - last days of vacation x fwstockholm Before getting back at work this week, got to spent few days last week in Sweden checking out the Stockholm fashion week. More importantly (or basically the reason why I headed to Stockholm in the first place) got the invite and chance to participate the launch party of Eton x Eidos-collection - great collection and great people. For the launch decided that it was also time for the first wear of roll necks this season. For the whole last winter I looked for a cream / off-white sweater until I found this one in May (made by Sand) - a perfect choice to balance the grey double-breasted herringbone suit by Rose&Born and...
