Oliver Spring/Summer 2014 is simply beautiful and what most men would want to be wearing in spring and summer. I am in love with the collection...sorry...i am obsessed with the collection.

Just like the Berluti Spring/Summer 2014, Oliver also offers clothes with happy and clean colors that would make any man look absolutely classy, chic and fit for the season. The pop of color used in the look book for the campaign is absolutely amazing, i wouldn't personally care if i walked down a restaurant wearing exactly what was shown on the campaign advert... i mean what is there to change? if it is already 101% flawless.






People would obviously say, "Shut up Douglas, there is nothing special, you probably blogged about it because you have a big and undeniable crush on Yiorgos Karavas."
Mmmh...well...i mean, yes he gorgeous but honestly the focal point here is the collection. What i love about it is the whole mix of casual and formal together, a person owning this wouldnt be seen awkward wearing the pieces at night or during the day. What makes this my prefered spring/ summer collection compared to Berluti is the fit of the clothes, i know how rediculous it sounds but hey, can't i make a personal opinion? oh well.

I am not so crazy about the shoes, they are what i have been seeing a lot over the past years, they are ideal for the summer feel but i guess they are way too common for us  to be wowed about them...RIGHT???. So for Berluti two tone shoes, they had their A-game there.






For all the fashion lover's, my handsome men, if you were sick and i was your doctor, this would be the prescription i would give you. It's not too much and not too less. For all lovers of style that comes with a pinch of elegance and simplicity, S.Oliver Spring/Summer 2014 is a collection dedicated to you.

The collection is simply clean, sophisticated and dapper than dapper...i mean, seriously! it is absolutely everything a man would want to have in his wardrobe.

Saltori, the genius behind all of it drew his inspiration from French men worker's uniform which were made of cotton drill made out of Japaniese indigo cotton yarn that had been bleached before woven and dyed.

The collection features easy on the eye fabrics with enough colours to make the rainbow shy. Saltori also pairs the clothes with two tone shoes inspired by the French Municipal workers of the mid-twentieth century.

The lookbook below is for you to draw the elements of style from this collection and hopefully spice up your selection of outfits and color coordination for this spring. Enjoy!

For some reason i feel as if I've always been more accepting of dark wall colors in interior design before it became "The New Trend." Yes mom, you can roll yours eyes all you want with your ridiculous OCD and Phobia for dark walls because at the moment, "Horror Is The New Chic."

The idea book is all about dark wall colors we have always pushed away like navy, dark chocolate, black and charcoal. However disturbing this may sound to all those who share the same phobias as my mom, when these colors are done right and with the right disciplines it could turn elevate and the style of the room and believe it all not but it could also increase the intimacy of the room too.

Here are the few things these colors could bring to your room...

Channeling Intimacy.
For rooms such as the parlor, bedroom or a large living space, feeling intimate and cozy is a neccesary desire demanded to be present in the room. Dark colors will bring that feeling of closeness you need and will also elevate the feeling of warmth on the eye and privacy which is ideal for conversations with friends.



Create Contrast.
There is nothing beautiful like a little drama in the room. Dark walls with dark comfortable leather chairs contrasted with warm wooden colors on the ceiling and on the floor will aways create a tricky balance that will always give your guests something to talk about. What a nice way to start a party with questions like, "There is something so ...i just cant put my finger on it...what is it?"

Highlights.
When dark walls are paired with the opposites like red, yellow and green it does channel drama and beauty in the room and keep you walking in the blurred lines of a contemporary feel blended with the floral and colorful Mediterranean feel. The opposites also creates their own unique balance, yes i know, it is like the yin and yang theory all over again but this pop of color on the in dark walls is worth a try because instead of washing out the color of other decors, it enhances it.

The famous and devastatingly beautiful fashion designer, bussines woman, former spice girl and Vogues cover girl turns 40, yes, it is Miss Becks. I have always had mixed emotions towards this woman and i am sure most of you guys have too. We love her for being this powerful and self willed woman and of course we have always hated her for robbing the sexy former number seven player of Manchester United team, David Beckham.
