L'esperienza de questa dolce vita

It isn't as important to buy as cheap as possible as it is to buy at the right time.

2011-03-08T23:34:00.001+02:00

Late sales post...

Due to my work schedule i haven't been able to post earlier some of my new buys on sales...better late than never!

Kind of preppy look...

jacket 19 euros(pull&bear)

shirt 9 euros(h&m)

sweater 9 euros(sprider)

pants 30 euros(h&m)

shoes 19 euros(sfera)

cap 6 euros(h&m)

Introduction

2011-02-19T10:03:00.001+02:00

Every day of our life we meet new people...some of them by ourselves,some of them by being introduced by other people.When it comes to introduction there are some simple basic "rules".

So here we go...

We always introduce a man to a woman, a younger person to an older,a person we know to a person we dont know.

In dinners and social gatherings we present first the less important people and then progressively to the most important people.

If we are typical with one person, we are typical with everyone. We never say "Mr. Smith let me introduce you to Maria".

When we introduce our wife (a man is never introduced by his wife), we do not use the last name. We just say "my wife".

We also never refer to our husband/wife with his last name. For example "Let me introduce you to Smith" or even worse "to Mr Smith". The right one is "Let me introduce you to my wife/husband".

It has happened to everyone to introduce two people and forget one of their names. Its not the end of the world. You can easily say "I remember very well how we met but I am having trouble remembering your name. Are you kind enough to remind me of it?"

A lady never stands up in an introduction unless they present/introduce to her a senior person (man or woman).

The introductions usually happen standing up. If they happen in a table, everyone must stand up. Exceptions are senior/older people.

When we are guests to a dinner or a social gathering the introductions are being made by the hostess. We avoid replacing them.

If we have a young woman and an older man age has priority over sex. Meaning we introduce the younger woman TO the older man.

Hope you find the above advice useful...

Rugby is a beastly game played by gentlemen.

2011-02-07T00:38:00.016+02:00

Rugby shirts are mostly colorful with vibrant colors and extravagant designs.

Rugby jerseys have stiff collars usually made of rugged cotton

The rugby shirt has, become a popular fashion item,with the distinctive collar and hooped or squared design, which do not represent an actual club.

So i bought one for myself on a more than reasonable price!9 euros were just enough to make me look kind of sporty...

I also have to say that i bought on sales and this pair of shoes for 19 euros...

rugby shirt 9 euros(sprider)

shirt 10 euros(h&m)

pants 30 euros(h&m)

shoes 19 euros(sfera)

First of all i want to wish Happy New Year to everyone!May this year be more creative and inspired!

The colour of truth is gray.

2010-12-22T23:25:00.016+02:00

One of my favourite and classic pieces of a man's wardrobe is a gray suit!

i love how easy is to combine it with so much shirts and ties...

The truth is that the gray suit is an absolute winning choice whether your environment calls for modern and stylish or classy and traditional!

I wish Merry Christmas to everyone!have a wonderful time....

October blues

2010-10-19T12:00:00.004+03:00

As winter is getting closer nothing but feeling blue...rain never made me happy.

denim shirt,denim trousers and so it goes...

(outfit from my bro's screening for his short film movie)

BMW Z3

A classic piece already...

First shown on James's Bond movie "Goldeneye" then a statement of elegance and now just

being classic!

You can drive this car and feel just like you are ready to save the world!

Eva Green

"so beautiful, it's indecent" Bertolucci said about her!

Half french,half swedish,a girl with so expressive and sad eyes...

A bond girl too...

Let me be a dreamer...!!!

Tip:It’s better to be overdressed than poorly dressed. It’s better for people to ask you where you going next rather than saying behind your back “why is he dressed so poorly?”

Let us celebrate the occasion with wine and sweet words.

2010-09-30T22:10:00.008+03:00

This month was very difficult so i almost forgot that it has been one year since i made my very first post.

My wife insisted on starting this project even though i wasn't sure that it would have resonance at so many people!

I want to thank my followers and all my viewers for your kind and supportive comments all this time!now that this blog goes at the second year i hope that i can post more often.

We'll keep in touch....and closing with a video i made for the occasion.

Better to live in a desert than with a quarrelsome wife

2010-08-30T12:25:00.001+03:00

So in case something changes i'm already prepared for living in desert!
I got my new desert shoes so i can stand the heat that we have these days here...
I got inspired for these shoes after seeing again one of my favourite films "Quadrophenia" and i realized that they were the mods trademark shoes!they are really comfortable and they keep my feet cool...here's how i wore them.

Triumph Spitfire
One of all time classic cars is this one...it remains kind of cheap to buy it these days but yet so stylish!It gives the sense that you may be a new James Bond when you drive this beauty...

Chistina Hendricks
She became popular for her role at "Mad men" series but she also came to show us that curves will always be in fashion!She has the look of another time but there is no man that can be uninterested in her!

Tip:we don't use perfume when we go to the beach.It could be dangerous. And after all we don't use perfume to cover stench!

The test of any man's character is how he takes praise

2010-08-30T12:20:00.002+03:00

Due to my internet connection problems i haven't been able to make any new posts...hope now i'm back for good!
I have been awarded by the lovely fellow blogger DinDinaki for being a stylish man at her opinion!!I want to thank this sooo gentle girl and with this award i must say 5 things about me and give this prize to another 5 stylish bloggers.
So here it goes....
1)my favorite colour is black...or red??doesn't matter i like them both!
2)i can't stand the rain....i hate when it's raining!i think that it is so depressing when that happens...
3)the ideal time for me to live at is the swinging 60's...i don't care about the place...Greece,Italy,England,U.S.....whatever!
4)i think that the sexiest part at a woman is her legs...especially shanks...maybe i'm a little old-fashioned!
5)and last but connected with number 3,my favourite T.V. show is "Mad men".I think that every man would like to be like one of these dudes...!

So my awards goes to...
Closet of a dirtbag
FashionAve
Katerina
Graham
and to my lovely wife...

No one needs a vacation more than the person who just had one.

2010-08-02T01:00:00.002+03:00

Finally i'm back on blogging earlier from what i thought i'll be...!!

It's usual for people here in Greece to feel a bit tired after vacation,so am i!
At this post just some random pics and i'll come back to usual with my next post...

Living la vida loca

2010-07-11T02:11:00.001+03:00

For the next month i won't be able to make any new posts or commenting on your blogs because of my summer vacation and my moving to another house while waiting for my internet connection to transfer there!so....i hope everyone have a nice summer and each of you to live your dolce vita!
I'll be back....

Couches are good for one thing.

2010-07-06T00:02:00.014+03:00

As my moving to a bigger house is coming,me and my wife had to start looking for new furniture!
I can't say that it's something that it pleases me but then again a man should have his opinion for the furniture!and as summer has come,again, i couldn't think something less classic than a navy stripe tee and espadrilles!!!
sunglasses are optional....

Fiat Barchetta
This car can be thought already as a classic,yet it's not that old!it has been designed by a greek and it has its own personality.Its shape is based on the old italian cars philosophy....it has been designed to stay classic!

Vanessa Paradis
A french woman again...what can i say?they are so xxtravagant!
Actress,singer,a talented woman in general.Chic with kind of "strange" beauty with her thinly teeth as a trademark!best moment...her acting at "girl on the bridge"...a film that contains onw of the best erotic scenes ever...

Tip:when drinking wine we hold the glass from its stem when it comes to white wine so we can keep it cool.As for red wine we hold the glass from its bowl to keep it warm!

Changes.....

2010-06-28T01:00:00.006+03:00

As the weather here still reminds spring instead of summer i wore again a tie with a casual outfit. Denim shirt is one of my favorite pieces and it can be combined with everything...!!!
small detail...

I always use to say that dolce vita is simple(for a man)....cool style,stylish cars,beautiful women and good manners is all that it takes...so here we go!from now on a car,a woman and a tip will be shown with every new post!

Alfa Romeo Spider(80's)
I was only 9 years old when i first saw this car.It was on a magazine and it would be given as a present after a draw.It's a classic car,sooo stylish and it fits with an attractive woman at the right seat!!!

Marion Cotillard
A lot maybe disagree about her acting but for sure no one can't admit her charm!This lady maybe will look great sitting by the driver at the special car above!she's classy,chic and of course french!!blonde or....brunette...still remains amazing!!

Tip:when wearing a suit never take off the jacket,unless you ask for hostess permission.The reason is that staying with your shirt only is misbehaving...and that happens because at the old years shirts was a kind of underwear!so when it comes to take of your jacket think about it twice...

King of pop

2010-06-25T11:51:00.007+03:00

It has been one year since Michael Jackson left us....
His death was the end of an era somekind the end of my childhood!
I have combined my childhood with his songs and his video clips so every time i hear a song of his i feel happy,sad and nostalgic at the same time...
The only i want to say is just a thank you for all the great times you have offered to us....

Flowers are the sweetest things God ever made... .

2010-06-11T11:37:00.006+03:00

....and forgot to put a soul into,said someone.So i decided to put myself into flowers!

I always liked floral shirts,i thought they somehow make me feel like i'm on vacation...vacation i said???my wife doesn't like this shirt so she decided to punish me by watering the flowers...
Maybe flowers are sweeter than women....

Mr.Bond...again?

2010-06-03T00:15:00.011+03:00

After a long time of absence because of my visit to my hometown,i'm finally back.I had to attend a formal occasion so i thought that a classic look inspired by Sir Roger Moore's Bond films was the right one!details make the difference...
(photos by marb)
I'd like to think that this look has licence to kill!!!!

PS.I'll take time to check all of my favourite blogs and be with you again....

Old friends are best

2010-05-18T14:52:00.006+03:00

I was trying to think of a way to use some old staff...so...i took my old canvas shoes,removed shoelaces and there's the result!casual....and....
for a summer night look...

Dilemma

2010-05-09T22:36:00.006+03:00

'Εχουν περάσει μέρες από το τελευταίο post αλλά βρίσκομαι σε ένα "ηθικό δίλημμα" λόγω των δύσκολων ημερών που περνάει η χώρα μου.Το θέμα είναι οτι δεν ξέρω κατα πόσο είναι λογικό να μιλάω για "dolce vita" τέτοιες ημέρες."Η ζωή συνεχίζεται" λέει ο λαός...είναι έτσι...;

It's been days since my last post but i'm in a "moral dilemma" cause of the hard days that my country is going through.The thing is that i don't know how logic is talking about "dolce vita"nowadays."Life goes on"says my people....is that so...?

My purple suede shoes

2010-03-25T23:56:00.008+02:00

Well you can knock me down,

step in my face,

slander my name

all over the place

do anything that you want to do,

but honey lay off my shoes

don't you step on my purple suede shoes....

It's been a long time since i've had a post about an outfit of mine...

I finally wore those shoes that i bought from Paris and it was love at first sight!

I'm very happy that spring has come and i can add some color in my life!

On street

2010-03-11T20:17:00.008+02:00

So after some time of absence it's time to continue with what i've learned all this time!

An important issue that distinguishes a man from a gentleman is the behaviour on street.

Some basic rules,in my opinion of course,are the below....

when walking with a lady give her the side nearest the house and that's because you should protect her from any harm.

In a crowd never rudely push aside those who impede your progress but wait until the way is clear.If you are hurried by business of importance you will find that a few courteous words will open the way before you more quickly than the most violent pushing and loud talking.

A gentleman should never smoke while walking with a lady on a street.And it's prefered that you do not smoke until after dark if you walk alone and then remove the cigar from your mouth when you meet a lady.

A gentleman should offer his right arm to a lady,but this is rarely necessary in the daytime.It is essential,however,and proper for him to do so after dark.

If you are walking with a lady and you hold an umbrella,let the umbrella cover her perfectly and hold it so you won't touch her....well you know!!!

Simple,useful advice...i hope!

Blog award

2010-02-28T16:32:00.013+02:00

I want to thank that fabulous lady with the amazing voice!!!

Thanks again my sweet lady!!!!

On table

2010-02-21T14:31:00.025+02:00

As i've said to my last post some things about this blog are changing...so let's go...!

I don't think myself as an expert but i see all the time people around me that have forgotten the basic rules when being at the table and eating....so i'm gonna tell everything i know,everything i've learned all this time from experience,from reading.

We place the napkin at our knees when we are about to eat.

We use the forks and the knives from the outside to inside.

We always clean our mouth with the napkin before drinking from our glass.there's nothing disqusting by seeing lip marks at the glass.

We fill the wine glass a little bit more from the half...kind like 2/3 of the glass.

We never eat with the hands unless we are eating pizza,where eating with hands it's not so unaproppriate.

After finishing we leave the napkin,undone,at the table.If something occurs and we need to visit the mens room we leave the napkin at our seat.

These are some general rules,the basic i think,but we can check out what to do when we are having dinner with a lady as a date.

We always let the lady choose at which chair to sit.

If she rises to go to the ladies room we rise from our chair.

The gentleman makes the choice of the wine...you should show that you know something just to make a good impression!

My grandfather always told me that a lady never touches the bottle,the lighter and the door handle....so...you get it now!

And of course never let the lady pay!what kind of gentleman would do this?!

A change is gonna come

2010-02-17T00:16:00.005+02:00

When i first started this blog i had something different in mind...so now it's time to make it happen....from now on the "tone" of this blog is changing...it's not going to be only for fashion and styling but for all those things that a man who respects himself should know or admire....in my opinion!so...let the show begin....!!!

A man not old, but mellow, like good wine.

2010-02-08T23:39:00.019+02:00

My work schedule has been very weird lately but last Saturday me and my wife had invited some friends for a "gathering"...

good friends,french wine especially for the occasion,good music and you have the ingredients for a happy time!(i would add women....plenty of them...but these days are over!!)

i wanted to be not very formal but neither very casual....so i choose a cardigan,a slim tie and a dot shirt(which doesn't appear clearly at the photos).cardigan zara

A Paris

2010-01-26T23:46:00.009+02:00

After my wedding i've been in Paris,for my honeymoon,for the first time in my life...i've enjoyed every moment of my stay at the city of lights!

So...what do i have to say about Paris and french people...?

first of all they are very kind...and they DO speak english despite of what i've heard about them!!

secondly,i won't go to Paris this season again...it was freezing!i loved how Paris looked at this time of year but i'm sure that at spring it will be about thousand times better.

then....french women are beautiful(don't tell my wife that i noticed that) and finesse but they rarely wear nice and stylish shoes!!!although they always carry a very expensive bag!

I've learned myself that they do have great wine!!i've adored each one that i've tasted....

and many many things that i can't recall right now!oh...i forgot...there were sales...you understand what that means!

I recommend Paris not only for honeymoon but also as a trip...you'll have a teriffic time!

D-Andy cool

2010-01-14T23:18:00.013+02:00

Second skin

2009-12-30T11:10:00.010+02:00

Because of the nature of my job i oftenly have to dress more casual,even though if it's not my favorite i'm trying to do it as stylish i can!

The favorite piece of my wardorobe is a cheap jacket,kind of leather,that i bought last year.This jacket the past year became my "second skin"!!

I think that every man who respects himself should own a bomber jacket.

*Tip Try to buy your bomber jacket one size smaller than you usually wear

I just came back from cinema where i watched a movie which i expected for long time...for many reasons!The movie was "Nine" which shows a part of Fellini's life(one of my favorite directors ever).He has done some great movies such as "La Dolce Vita","8 1/2","Roma" etc....

So if you want to spend a quality,and at the same time, fun time go and watch that movie!

Some of the reasons to watch this movie is its style,MARION COTILLARD,the excellent Daniel Day Lewis and plenty of sexy women!

Hanging over the Parthenon

2009-12-22T15:38:00.015+02:00

So..what definates the term xxtravaganza...?

Is it a bicycle hanging over the wall with a Chanel bag at its grid?

Maybe is having your brunch as you are watching Parthenon,the sacred rock of Acropolis?
Or is it wearing white trousers in the middle of the winter....?

Saturday night fever

2009-12-16T12:33:00.014+02:00

Last weekend me and my gf have been at my hometown to visit my parents...Saturday night we were invited from a friendly couple for a kind of "coctail party".I kept thinking what i should wear and after a lot of wasted time i decided that nothing can look better and classy than a slim fit black suit,white shirt and a slim tie!! suit h&m
shirt zara
tie tierack
shoes allesandro dell'acqua
cufflinks made from whitegold bought at corfu

A simple xxtravaganza advice

2009-12-07T00:10:00.009+02:00

Because of my work schedule it has been difficult to make a new post....so until i have free time there's a simple advice....living in xxtravaganza doesn't requires much of things....just a classic roadster,a good suit,much of attitude and of course your xxtravaganza lady!!!!
something like that....!!!

Mr. Bond?

2009-11-30T16:27:00.026+02:00

Weather in Greece is so weird so many times don't know how to dress.I made a stylish choice--i think!-- the other day and when my brother saw me he told me"you look like a modern James Bond!".

His words made me very happy because as Mr.Zambounis says to his book "The greek gentleman"("o 'Eλληνας gentleman") every man has Mr.Bond as his idol,not only for his style but also for his manners,attitude etc...even though many of us don't admit it!

2009-11-22T18:14:00.015+02:00

Yesterday was a shiny day so i decided to have a walk...couldn't resist and not wear my new cardigan!

Cardigans are a good choice for both women and men....These sweaters can be worn as a twinset or by themselves over any sort of shirt.Some people prefer to wear them as almost a jacket for their outfit,while others make the cardigan the main piece of their attire.With a cardigan you can create a new look for your wardrobe without having to change what you're already wearing .

Inside every older person is a younger person wondering what happened

2009-11-16T21:54:00.014+02:00

The other day was my birthday...many gifts,many wishes and always the same question remains....am i somehow wiser after one more year?maybe,maybe not...but for sure i have

something new to wear!

scarf, from my brothers girlfriend,(zara),im wearing it with my denim shirt
zippo lighter from a very good friend of mine

gloves,from my best man,(zara)

shoes,from my brother(zara)

cufflinks,from my girlfriend(ted baker)

and finally something that i've got to myself... a new knitted tie and a pocket square(tie rack)

Happy birthday...to me!!!

Denim has always been an everyday symbol for style.

2009-11-09T09:31:00.009+02:00

Because life isn't only about formal wear but what matters for sure is to be stylish so i have one thing to say.....I love my denim shirt!

They've been around a lot longer than the nineties. Denim shirts have been available for at least fifty years if not more. Initially not as fashion items but as workwear. Their appeal is their longevity and toughness. It takes a lot to damage one.....!!!!!

Success is in the details.

2009-11-01T19:16:00.018+02:00

I always say that details is what makes the difference....

For men there are a few things that can be used to make a "statement"!

Some of them are...

One of the most important issues on a man's look is his shoes!

Maybe it's the only thing that a man never should think about the cost...!!!As i always say it is better to wear a cheap suit and a pair of expensive shoes than the opposite!as you know the first thing someone nottice from our look is the ....shoes and you know we only have few seconds to make a good first impression!

......furthermore when we talk about shoes we must also talk about socks.....socks should always cover the leg and never leave even a cm uncover from your leg !!!also beware of your sock colour....you can wear a black suit, black shoes and white shocks only if you are MJ or if you sell watermelons in august time!!

the 4 pairs of shoes a man should have are:

casual.....

vintage from italy

with blazer......

Nothing gives one person so much advantage over another as to remain always cool and unruffled under all circumstances.

The most important thing to remember each of us is that we are the best...nothing can compare to us and we know that we have "it"!

A long time ago i was having a discussion with a friend of mine and the subject was how is it possible that he is only wearing expensive clothes and very stylish shoes but though he never had the success that he was supposed to have....the issue was that he never wore these suits but the opposite happened....!

The answer to this simple question is that he didn't have....ATTITUDE!!everyone of us knows that he is cool but the point is that we must give everyone else the chance to learn it!!it's not that hard, just feel comfortable about yourselves,show your best and confident smile and if that doesn't work just stick a cigarette in your mouth...your image will change at the moment!!

Things are easy....we make everything work for us....and don't get worried...birdies will come...!

And don't forget.....there's always someone cooler than you,but that doesn't matter...

Style is knowing who you are, what you want to say and not giving a damn...

I was having a drink last night alone at a bar somewhere in athens as i use to do every week for the last....i don't remember.....years.....when suddenly,something impressed me,in the wrong way!a young couple came into the bar looking for a table....the lady was very chic but the prospective "gentleman" made me think of all the little "things" that are missing these days from most of the young guys...and not only..!style,manners and in general that "something"!!!

I was always thinking that living your life with style isn't that hard....maybe i was wrong..!!!

For me it still remains easy.....
