What I do for a living


It´s not the first time that I received an email asking if I could showcase some of my projects and I finally decided to do it. 
I work mostly with private housing and I´m quite lucky because that´s what I enjoy doing. 
A home is often a reflection of who we are. Being able to create something that will capture that is what I look forward to, everyday. Having a client tell me when the work is done that I made his/her dream come true is what motivates me to keep working. 
It´s just fantastic to create something that most people look forward to going back to. A place where they fell safe and are proud to show to their friends and family.

Today´s Look

First of all, I want to apologie to MR. I should be wearing boat shoes today but I´m not. You see, I´m taking a friend out to dinner today and she really doesn´t like boat shoes. I´ll use them some other time. By the way, you can see me rocking them Here
Today´s look is just another attempt at casual chic. Hopefully, I got it right. If not, I'm probably getting yelled at in a few hours...

Challenge Accepted | Today´s Look

Ok, so I decided to accept the challenge of wearing sneakers to work and while my first option was to wear an actual suit with it, I decided to wear jeans for a  more casual attire, as asked. It´s not something that I usually do but there´s always a first time for everything, right? Btw, the weather is great and I need to get an haircut (random, whatever).

Met Costume Gala 2012: Best Dressed

I think that this year the gentlemen killed it. The lovely ladies... not so much. The Givenchy gown that Beyonce wore will hunt me for a few days.
Now of to my list. 

Colin Firth in Prada (best look)
Hugh Dancy in Prada (best couple)
Aziz Ansari (best date)
Darren Criss in Calvin Klein Collection
Will Arnett in Calvin Klein
Prabal Gurung 
Kanye West in Givenchy
Justin Timberlake in Tom Ford
Riccardo Tisci in Givenchy (duh) and the dude behind him 
Gilles Mendel looking fantastic
Adrien Brody in Prada
Daniel Radcliffe wearing a tuxedo by Antonio Azzuolo

Note: Tom Brady was great from the waist up. The pants got him out of the list. Everyone with untailored pants is also out (sorry Matt Bomer, Chace Crawford, ...).  
I almost forgot. Quoting Marc Jacobs, "I just didn´t want to wear a tuxedo and be boring.". I´ll let you decide what to think about this.

Don´t be afraid of the turtleneck

Today I decided to mix 2 things that most people are afraid to use: velvet and turtlenecks. I´m a little biased but I think the end result is pretty good. Btw, the weather is still horrible.
