Stay-cation;
Definition: Vacationing at a local B&B or hotel; taking
advantage of local amenities i.e. maid
service, cocktails poolside & bikinis and board shorts.
Summer is officially here, and whether you are planning an event filled weekend here in San Diego or looking to gear up for a summer vacation, it is always important to consider your summer style and how to dress sharp during the warmer months.
We spent the day at the historic Lafayette Hotel in San Diego
sipping on Colombian coffee and dipping our toes in the cool, crisp, serene pool. Our worries were washed away and we enjoyed the day with summer style
at hand.
Pulling up to the hotel the first thing you notice is the
iconic Lafayette sign and large white pillars which takes you back in time, when Hollywood
escaped Hollywood…..
On arrival; paired with shorts for a casual weekend outfit,
this relaxed fit shirt is perfect for a
sunny afternoon barbecue, trip to the Del Mar Race track, or just carrying around
a ton of luggage and looking damn good while doing it.
This tailored plaid Crow Thief shirt with linen contrasting
collar and cuff adds a unique touch and texture to the light weight shirt.
Perfect for hanging poolside with a handcrafted cocktail from the Lafayette Bar
or buttoned up for a night out.
Riffing on traditional work wear, the newest edition to the Crow Thief line is a 4 pocket 5 button tailored vest . A vest is a man’s most complimenting layer, accenting his chambray shirt and chinos to a complete and stylish aesthetic.
The lighter fabrics and colors are perfect for the warmer
summer months but the burnished leather wingtips add a nice bit of formality to
the otherwise relaxed combination.
When packing for warm weather. Take a token light weight
blazer or jacket for early morning adventures or late night escapades. Whether
you choose to wear a graphic tee or collared shirt under this blazer it's
versatility and pop of brown suede trim go a long way. Definitely
different, but different is outstanding.
Summer time is the perfect time to add some color to your
wardrobe.
Custom Crow Thief denim is paired with a bright pop of color
with the tailored denim shirt. The contrasting colored shoelaces and suede
wingtips add unique and subtle details. Attraction loves detail and people
notice them.
Don’t forget to check out the Red Fox room right next door.
Whether you’re a couple miles from home or a couple hundred of miles pack versatile items that can work day and night. Take off the tie, roll up the sleeves and slip on some sandals for a more casual look or add a graphic tee, leave un-buttoned and add subtle accessories.
Thank you to the Lafayette Hotel! Make sure to check out their summer calendar for events & stay-cation deals.
