Rainy Days | Francisco Melero for Men's Health Spain

It's been raining on and off for over a week now, it's simply crazy. Of course, I end up taking my umbrella with me when it's sunny and leaving it at home when it's pouring! It's just my luck.
Somehow I found this editorial appropriate. Model Francisco Melero is photographed by Edu Garcia for Spanish Men's Health. Check out the photos below!
What are your tips for a rainy day?

Kid in a Candy Store | SARTO Made to Measure Showroom

One essential tip I read in GQ and that I'll always remember is that "Suits are to women what lingerie is to men. Wear it right." Pretty accurate, don't you think?
This comes to mind right now because I happened to visit a new brand's showroom in Bucharest that creates wonderful menswear suits - SARTO made to measure. I was thrilled to sit down with Alex Moise, one of the two founders of SARTO and learn more about the company's background and their products, as well as get a walk-through the design process and some useful style tips.
What I like is that it's so much more that just getting a new suit; it's really about creating something that's not only custom designed for your body, but that's also perfectly tailored for your personality and lifestyle.
"Kid in a candy store" best describes the feeling of getting to play around with the great fabrics they use for these Italian made suits. The possibilities are endless really, and it's fantastic to see the wide range of directions you can go in: from a more casual, everyday look to a statement piece that you can be sure no one else will be wearing, they definitely have it all covered.

Outfit Post | Late Spring Afternoon

Can you believe summer technically hasn't even started? I have a hard time with that, since for me, summer began a few months ago, when the temperature soared. I've always considered spring to be a great opportunity to wear whatever I want, as opposed to the summertime when even throwing on a t-shirt seems too much. What can I say, I like layering.
So, to celebrate the last few days of spring, here is a new outfit post. Check out more photos below!
PS: did I mention today was my name day?

Street Style | My Heart's in Italy

Who doesn't love Italy? I know everytime I look at one of those wonderful campaigns shot there I'm simply blown away. For example the wonderful campaign that Sean O'Pry and Coco Rocha did together in Venice for Americana Manhasset will always have a special place in my heart.
So, speaking of hearts, here is Miki, who you've seen once before in one of my street style posts. She chose to walk the streets of Italy wearing a fun, playful outfit: a heart-print skirt, a lace top and just a dash of color.
Take a look at some more photos next:
