Every once in a while, I like to look just a little bit sharper than usual. A great way to do this? Accessories. Now I know I've done Accessorize! posts but none like this.

The classically-styled touch that comes with the right cufflinks, hat or even an ascot takes you right back to the days of The Great Gatsby.

A few of my faves on the site (and definitely on my wishlist!!) are:

The Lee&Allison Black and SIlver Polka Dot bowtie. Diamond Tip. 100% Silk.

Grey Plaid Fedora

Tomato Argyle Marcoliani Socks

Name: Enrique Ivan Cervantes

TMFB:Who's your Fashion Icon? Celebrity or otherwise?

EIC: I'm really into John Varvatos. I dig his stuff, I like his style.

TMFB: Must-Have Item for any guys' closet?

EIC: A good pair of jeans.

TMFB: What label?

EIC: Diesel. Maybe a little G-Star Raw Denim...

TMFB: Fashion Pet Peeve?

EIC: Oh, God! [laughs] There's a lot of things that kinda get on my nerves.....I think the most important thing is fit, for me. If things don't fit right and you're not rockin' it the way it's supposed to be rocked.

TMFB: Non-Fashion question....What's your fave music?

EIC: I'm really diverse....really into everything.

TMFB: What CD's in your car right now?

EIC: CD? or iPod? [laughs]

TMFB: 8-track?

EIC: I'm really into Kings of Leon, Calvin Harris, Bloc Party, Coldplay.

TMFB: Thanks!
