The perfect bike


If you follow me on Instagram, you've probably seen this bike. It used to be my grandpa's bike, now he gave it to me. Crazy, I know.

It's a Rudge-Whitworth from the 1940s (I think?), well, the point is that I absolutely love love love looove it. It's perfect, the color is beautiful and it's just so comfortable... It's like a dream. And it's perfect, because mine is not working right now.

I spent the whole summer riding this beauty, and I don't think I'll get tired anytime soon! The only thing is that I can only ride it when I'm at my grandpa's house, because it's too difficult for me to ride it where I live*. And I have to fix some things and change the saddle, I was thinking about this one.

Well, it's seems like I have a bike fetish growing on me. Ohh.. What about you? Do you like vintage bikes? Let me know!

*Believe it or not, I don't live exactly in the city, I live in some crazy hills. Yeah. And my grandpa lives in the countryside, which is perfect.

My essentials: Oxford shoes


They say you can judge a man by his shoes, I think that's true. And that's one of the reasons why I try to stick to the classic ones as much as possible, you know.

Especially oxford shoes, they're simply perfect. They're such a classic and timeless piece. I think everyone should own at least two pairs of black oxfords, becuase they can work with almost any outfit (like jeans and a button down shirt, for example).

I can tell you, these ones on the picture have saved me in so many occasions. That's why they're part of my essentials. Yup, I owe them my life, kind of.

So, if you're having second thoughts about which kind of shoe you want to buy, don't think too much about it and just go for some oxfords. Trust me, you won't regret it. Just, remember to choice them wisely and take good care of them*, that way you won't fuck up.

What about you? Do you have a favorite pair of shoes? Tell me about them!

PPS: Yes, I love reading magazines, I splurge on them :(

My own fall lookbook


Ahh lookbooks, I love them with all my heart but, to be honest, I think I've seen loads of them this season. Really, they're kind of everywhere; Pinterest, Tumblr, ugh.

You know that I always like to share my love for a good lookbook or campaign. But you know what? Since I'm a bit tired of the 'lookbook explosion' (can I say that?), I've decided to create my own for this fall. Yup, that's it. Let me explain you...

Sadly it's not an illustrated lookbook, I'd love to do it, but I don't have that much time. So, I decided to explain what I'll actually wear and what I'd love to wear for fall. This was the first thing that came to my mind:

Knitwear:
It's just necessary for the season. And I've developed some kind of obsession towards any kind of knit. Yeah, so this fall it will be knitwear all the way. I have my eyes on this cardigan by Jil Sander.

Jackets:
Maybe a varsity, I'm still looking for the perfect one, it should be black or maybe burgundy, I'll let you know when I find a decent one.

Shirts:
You probably know how much I love plaid. I wear plaid shirts a lot. Especially for fall, for me it's just perfectly fine. And I think plaid shirts look good on almost everyone, that's why they're on my list. Right now I'm loving this one by Gant Rugger.

Pants:
I'm looking for something classic but that fits perfectly at the same time, with a dark shade of grey. Maybe something like this. I've also set my eyes on Acne jeans, they're just perfect.

Shoes:
I'm so into brogues, I'm never satisfied. But when it comes to wearing them, I kind of forget and always put on some sneakers. I don't know about you, but I love being comfortable. Maybe I just need new chucks? Or these ones by Common Projects.

Fragrance:
My favorite fragrance for fall has always been Touch by Burberry. It's sooo good. Strong and fresh, it smells incredible. I don't know why but it reminds me of wood. It's definitely the best.

...

So yeah. I think that's it, no coats for me (even when it's fall, the temperature is still hot in this island). I've created my own fall lookbook... or maybe wishlist, I have to say. Well I don't even know, the point is that these are the ideal things for me to wear this fall. I know it's still summer and everything but, fall is around the corner already.

What about you? Do you have a wishlist or maybe your own fall lookbook too? Tell me about it!
