It has taken two months, but it has been worth it...our new Bombe du Mois is mega...and to see the full editorial, click on the Bombe du Mois button above...warm greetings from a blisteringly hot Zurich!

If you look between the hordes in Paris, occasionally there is a beacon of light and we are lucky when this happens even once on a city tour. This light makes all the other people on the street pale in comparison and this is after all why we have this fashion blog. We want to bring you faces and style that make you smile because the person we manage to snap  is able to bring a ray of sunshine to your day and inspiration to look at your wardrobe differently.

We love this next model because she takes the mannish men’s suit and bowtie to a female level with necklaces and poppy socks. We love the no-lace slipper look and that wonderful face is the cream on our cake!

Our first swiss Face of the Month, or Bombe du Mois, as we like to call it here at Dashing George HQ, is almost ready but till then here is a teaser...

The world is spinning more and more towards uniforms and fitting in. We have normcore, the wardrobe where we all blend into the background and even worse, the It-bags that every society lady or it-girl endorses in the name of fashion and their own sought-after fame. That is why we, here at Dashing George HQ, are always glad to do a bit of promotion for labels and stores where we actually shop...where the artisans are still hard at work creating one of a kind pieces that we grow to love more and more as time passes.

So, this time, we decided to share some images from jewelry store Del Mundo Vacano, located at 88 Eppendorfer Weg, in Hamburg. I have a few pieces already from the Sanchez duo and when I wear them, I feel the hard work that went into creating them. What I found wonderful with this store, is that I could go in and after a consultation, we worked on the pieces together and in the end, this collaboration took on a life and form of its own...this is what fashion should be about.

In the city of light, we found so much inspiration. The French, long known for their immaculate sense of style and all that is fashionable, posed, laughed and danced their way into our hearts. We found, contrary to popular belief, that the Parisians are outgoing, friendly and terribly charming. Thank you Paris for these images that will follow in due course and of course, thank you to Jürgen for the picture above...

We are on the road again as of tomorrow and this time we are off to Strasbourg, France. Our goals: to take in the sights and find more looks and ideas to inspire you...so we are offline but at work!

We love the leather jacket (always a good basic), the buttoned up collar and the patterned trousers. Add to this mannish brogues and it is comfortable street wear, but a look that will allow you access to any bar or club when the sun decides to dip.

Our top three leather looks are as follows: a sleeveless black leather  jacket from The Kooples selling at 455 swiss francs, or this beige leather Bolton jacket by Isabel Marant available through anitahass.com, selling at 950 euros. And be eco-friendly with this Concious leather jacket from h&m, retailing at 249 euros.
