Style Inspiration : Miami Vice

Since I've been laid up all week with a sprained ankle I've had a lot of time to watch the entire first season of Miami Vice which is a visual feast. Pastel linen, nautical details, soft pleated pants and white suits. Crockett and Tubbs reminded me what a real man can look like when the weather is hot and the women are hotter. Accessories for this look include a simple gold chain and a pet crocodile! 

                                         

                  Black, white and grey double zippered sport shirt. Totally radical and ready for summer.

This neon wonderland can also be bought ONLINE. Soft breathable rayon is perfect for the Miami heat!

Crockett is always taking off his blazer to reveal a sleeveless shirt and tanned muscles. This tri-color mens tank may well have come straight from the set! 

 

Ladies Claude Montana linen shorts with nautical stripes. They can be found in our ONLINE SHOP

                   Vintage Valentino peach linen skirt can also be found in our ONLINE SHOP

 

                Vintage Chloe dress in pure white with bat wing sleeves and sexy wrap around style.
