Valentino Winter 2013 collection

Friend of Ahoy hoy Rafael Martinez, requested some wintery photos for this rainy Los Angeles weather. Although these photos do not feature all the cold, rain and thunder we have been getting in LA, they are a perfect example of what a contemporary mod male may wear in this brisk weather.

Hardy Amies A/W 2013

YES PLEASE!!!

Looking at the photos for Hardy Amies Autumn / Winter 2013 collection and all I can think of is "Yes please!"

At Ahoy Hoy I love bringing you a cultured and selective collection of fashion, mainly focusing on women's Mod inspired looks. But when a collection is done so in tuned and magnificent as is Hardy Aimes, one look at these pictures all you'll be saying "Yes please!" too.

From the Hardy Amies website:

"For Autumn Winter 2013 Hardy Amies presents a definitive contemporary wardrobe. With a focus on British fabrics, elegant shirting, knitwear and accessories accompany perfectly cut tailoring and timeless pieces of outerwear.
Hardy Amies menswear is designed for a modern London lifestyle. The collection is supported by The ABC of Men’s Fashion, a campaign that encapsulates the spirit of this lifestyle and recognises the brand’s roots in London and as an authority on British menswear."

Michael Caine, Los Angeles 1966

Michael Caine. Los Angeles. 1966. Oh heart be still!

I recently came across these photographs of devilishly cool Michael Caine in Los Angeles and boy did my heart swoon! The photographs of the rising English actor in Los Angeles were taken by Life magazine photographer Bill Ray. Ray recalls about the young actor that “there is a very fine line between being lazy and being laid back, and Caine knew exactly were that line was. He worked all the time but never broke a sweat. He always knew his lines, but was in no hurry to blurt them out. If things broke down on the set, he was happy in his trailer listening to The Four Tops or grabbing a nap. He was simply made for the movie business.”

And as for the beautiful women that would constantly surround Caine as shown in the pictures below, Ray remembers that Michael “seemed to be a magnet, without ever lifting a finger. And that was another part of the laid-back thing. He seemed to have perfected a way to make things look easy, and so things became easy. Most guys would be happy to kill themselves, walk the burning desert, crawl on broken glass to bed a beautiful girl. But not Caine. He wouldn’t walk across the street. But if a drop-dead gorgeous girl did the walking, and if it wasn’t dinner time, he was more than happy to oblige. You could really hate a guy like that — except that he was so charming, so smooth, that you were very happy to be around him, hoping some of it would rub off on you — which, of course, it didn’t!

Saucy Mr. Caine!

And in other handsome, sexy English man news: I am incredibly ecstatic to say that during our London trip last week Liam asked me to marry him! We are now engaged and I couldn't be happier! I adore Liam more than Michael Caine himself ;)
