I must confess that for about a year I became addicted to online shopping, amazon.com has become a tool of knowledge in addition to helping me build my dream library for a reasonable price I managed endorphins with each click of purchase ... Each book represents new feelings, new knowledge and ultimately an inordinate interest in culture and British history. Today I talk about one of my favorite style icons, a man whom he credited with being the playboy of the British royalty and the monarch who ruled for less time in the history of the United Kingdom to abdicate to marry an American socialite. Edward Albert Christian George Andrew Patrick David, is the birth name of King Edward VIII. Born June 23, 1894 its first title was Duke of Cornwall and Prince of Wales. In January 1936 he was appointed King of England when her father King George V dies. On December 11 of that year Edward VIII abdicated to marry American socialite Wallis Simpson. Edward VIII was then named the Duke of Windsor, was never crowned king England and his reign lasted 325 days. In 1937 the Duke was photographed with Adolf Hitler and accused of being sympathetic to the German Nazi regime, therefore appointed Governor of the Bahamas, where she lived away from home for the rest of the Second World War, later in 1945 moved to Paris where she lived until her death in 1972. During his youth, the Duke served the British army in World War I, was considered a positive influence on the modernization of real institutions, it is said that the relationship with his father was always complex and that he constantly blame status celebrity and lack of participation in political life. "Charming, handsome, easy-going and obsessed with clothes" - It was rated the Duke of Windsor around the world. Inherited the taste for fashion from his grandfather Edward VII, was his favorite tailor Scholte of Duke became a Trend Setter for Americans who copied every detail of her wardrobe and styling, is said never boto anything in your wardrobe for 60 years had the same measures, inventory your wardrobe made in 1960 found: 15 evening dresses (evening suits), 55 3-piece suits (lounge suits) and 3 formal suits (formal suits) with two pairs of dress pants and approximately 100 pairs of shoes, although this meticulous wardrobe the Duke always preferred to travel light. An old adage states
