Not quite it? Let Marcel know!

Life in color

Life in color with pops of oxblood together with the new color-blocked Armani Exchange Cardigan 🙂 We found a matching background while we walked around in DUMBO, as so often on the weekends. The neighborhood is simply amazing. Other than that I don’t have a lot to say today — if you have any questions, leave a comment!

The Biker

Let’s talk about the obvious first: I got a new bike. And I happen to like my bikes like my suits — custom-made. Single Bikes is an absolutely awesome site where you can put your own “fixie” together. The trend of fixed bikes is huge since the bike messengers in NYC started riding them.

on break

This is the look I wore to the GQ x Express event last Thursday — clearly I had to dress the part and pick my favorite Express pieces out 😉 Obviously I wore the blazer for the #Back2Business event, but this post is purposefully called “on break”, so I allowed myself to be a tad more comfy.

earn it.

I’ve worn it a few times before, and I’d then told you, that I would tell you more about it on another day. Today is the day, so let’s look at the beautiful Thomas Earnshaw watch. The “Darwin”, which is the model I am wearing, is a historical tribute to Charles Darwin from English Heritage pedigreed watchmakers Earnshaw …

1000 miles

A few new things in today’s blog post that I combined into the above outfit: for one, a new classic three-button roll-over blazer by Tommy Hilfiger. Three buttons are generally considered to be more traditional than a two-button, but the fact that the third and top button “rolls over” and you can’t see it, makes it a very versatile piece.

Ze Germans

This past week my German homie Leon Theimer of Round Metal stayed with me and explored NYC as part of his insane world trip. We’d been in touch for over a year just through blogging and then finally met — one of the amazing things about the internet, connecting people all over the world 🙂 …

Bye Summer!

NYC is cooling down, and it’s time to bust out a jacket or two as fall starts settling in. I love the transitional seasons, as you can play a lot with layers without being too hot or cold.

time travel

Wow. I don’t think I’ve ever gotten this lucky with a location. There I was, rocking my new (wrinkle-resistant) suit from Express, walking around DUMBO with my two (blogger-)friends Leon and Moti, and we stumbled upon a film set, that wasn’t quite in use just yet, so we could take advantage of a beautiful car like the one in the photos above.

courtside.

Rocking a denim on denim look, blue on black with a super-classic Levi’s denim jacket. I love the tobacco-colored contrast stitching, giving it that classic feel. I felt a fun floral shirt would go wonderfully with the jacket, and since that has a black basis, black jeans were the next step.

Miller

It all starts with the denim. I’m wearing an amazing new pair right here, by Simon Miller, which has a very natural look to it with the brown tones in the washed out parts — the basis for my outfit, as you can see with the light brown tones for the jacket as well as the shoes.
