The Dapper Report

Cartier | After I destoryed my old glasses I had to look for an alternativ and thought about some retro ones.  When I talked to my parents they said there is only one option: Cartier.
The next day I had 2 Cartier spectacle frames on my desk (big thanks to my parents and my grandma).
Both were Retro Cartier de Santos frames from the 80ies. On the pictures above and below I wear the bigger frame which was remodeled into sunnies 2 weeks ago by my favourite optican at the Königsallee. (soon on here as well)

Personal | This is a very personal post. A lot of you asked me why I did not post anything the last three weeks. The reason why was a pretty tough illness. First I just thought that it was a simple tonsilitis but very soon my situation got worse.
I'm very sorry that I didn't answer any questions but thank you for all your support and messages I got on Instagram.
I'm still feeling very weak and the worst thing was that the doctor told me that she would advise me not to participate in this years state examination.
This was the point when I was really upset and told myself to do everything to become healthy again as quickly as possible. So I stayed in bed for about two weeks in a row. I took a lot of medicine and went to the medical center to get infusions.
On saturday after four weeks of illness I tried to go out for about some hours. The next day the fever came back and my throat was swollen again so I had to feed myself with soup (had soup for about 2 weeks in a row). This leeded to more weight loss so that I only had 59kg.
So now I'm still working on getting healthy again even when the doctor told me that it can last about half a year. What a delightful prospect.

But these days also let me think about the situation. Healthiness is a gift! Even when my illness isn't life-threatening I esteem it now more than ever. You feel helpless and you can't do anything to make it better. You have to believe in the immune system of your body and the modern medicine. That's an awkward feeling! So enjoy every single day of health! It's a gift which is forgotten until you lose it.

I keep fighting and I'm not giving up on my state exmanination! That is for sure! Even when my body is weak my mind is even stronger!

But that's enough for now about those serious topics. Here are some pictures which were taken 2 months ago.

Sebago | My friends from Sebago send me over this super cool new pair of pennyloafers. This time I tried to combine them in a more casual way with a leatherjacket and some statement pants.
I already have this pair in brown and I have to admit they became my all time favorite last year.
They are super comfortable and they are super versatile in combination with jeans or in more chic combination.

Retro | Just a quick update. Sorry for be so quite at the moment. I'm super busy because of my upcoming examination and my tonsillitis. I really don't know what to do first. Keep your fingers crossed!
Today I just want to present you a little retro inspired look.
Hope you like it!

Guerlain | L'Homme ideal - the ideal male. What makes a man the ideal one. Elegance, intelligence, humor, authenticity and sportiness.
Like the backside of the perfume is telling me " The ideal man is a myth. His fragrance, a reality".
When I first read this quote I thought: Ok this is one of these typical quotes that are used by marketing people to catch the interest of men who are unsure which fragrance is perfect for them.
But after trying this perfume I have to say I was completly convinced. The lightly almond/ woody scents in combination with this aqua/citrus freshness turn this Guerlain fragrance into the perfect summer companion. I fell directly in love with it and have to send my compliments to Thierry Wasser (the head of perfumers of Guerlain) & Delphine Jelk.
For all those of you who haven't heard for unusual reasons of Guerlain yet, it is on of the oldest parfum manufactures in the world. It was founded in 1828 by Monsieur Pierre-François-Pascal Guerlain in Paris. Maison Guerlain created a lot of fragrances for historical important people like Napoléon Bonaparte, Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom and the Spanish royal house. Since 1994 Guerlain belongs to the group of luxury goods conglomerate LVMH.

Guerlain stands for the highest quality and pure luxury!
L'Homme ideal can now be bought in every well arranged perfumery.

For all the ladies who are looking for an anniversary gift for your boyfriend/man. You can not do anything wrong with L'Homme ideal Sport! And another fact for the girls Jon Kortajarena is the face for Guerlains newest fragrance.
To all the men: Just try it and you will love it!

Wish you all a fantastic day!

Cheers,
Marc
