"Getting what you want out of life largely boils down to (1) the story you tell yourself and (2) where you direct your attention. What story do you tell yourself about what has happened to you, what you're capable of, and what you hope to achieve? Is the conversation in your head each day empowering and encouraging you, or holding you back? And are you taking control and directing your attention toward what matters or merely letting inertia pull you along? Most things don't matter and most actions won't deliver a result. Focus. Master your internal monologue and master your daily attention. Most tips, tricks, and tactics ultimately come back to these two things." ~ James Clear

Doing the Friday half-day school pickup, and my car told me it was 46 Celsius / 115 Fahrenheit at midday. Summer has definitely arrived in Dubai! For a Friday, casual vibe I’m breaking in a new bespoke half-lined, unstructured safari style jacket, in an E.Thomas wool-silk-linen. The slubby texture of the fabric gives the jacket a beautiful depth to a casual garment. Paired with- Bespoke, striped cotton shirt Hackett navy cotton chinos Viola Milano navy striped unlined silk grenadine tie Ede & Ravenscroft cufflinks Nobile Italy navy cotton socks Fairfax & Favor brown suede horse bit loafers WOTD MB&F M.A.D.1s “Grow Your Dreams” SOTD layering Houbigant’s Fougere Royal and Roja Dove’s Pierre de Velay Essence Rare. Layering Houbigant’s Fougere Royal with Roja Dove’s Pierre de Velay Essence Rare is a highly sophisticated "Neo-Classical Hybrid"experiment, crashing the clean, structural, aromatic spine of the world's most historic barbershop genre directly into an opulent, sweet, velvet-wrapped French Fruity Chypre.
