JOGGER CHINOS

This off-duty look focused on two colors: black and olive green. I decided to throw on a black t-shirt with my new favorite pair of joggers and a pair of espadrilles, and top it all off with a backwards snapback. An easy outfit as autumn here in LA still remains unseasonably warm!

TURQUOISE BLAZER

Took to the streets of Venice last weekend in this look that combined a bunch of my favorite pieces - a backwards snapback, bold blazer, rad tank, comfy sweats and a pair of hi-top Cons.

I hope everyone is having a great week so far! For me, this week consists of a lot of work and will  be capped off with a Dodgers baseball game on Friday night which I am more than excited for. It's been forever since I've gone to a baseball game, and they are so much fun. This one also has a fireworks show!

CERULEAN STYLE

"It's not just blue. It's not turquoise, it's not lapis. It's actually cerulean."

I have always loved that quote of Ice Queen Miranda Priestly in Devil Wears Prada. Actually, I pretty much love every quote from that movie. "Florals. For spring. Grounbreaking." Does it get any better?

When I spotted this crackly alley wall, which I believe is indeed cerulean, I thought it would make for the perfect vibrant backdrop for this laidback weekend 'fit.

GIVENCHY GOODNESS

I know it's been a minute since my last post, but between NYFW craziness and lots of fun projects, this month has slipped away!

Back in action with this bold black & white look that features my favorite statement Givenchy tee.

BEACH BIKER

Hello! I hope that everyone had a great Labor Day weekend! I spent the long weekend relaxing, brunching, beaching, sleeping, writing, and going to two BBQ's. Pretty much the perfect way to wind down the summer.

While summer is "technically" coming to a close, it doesn't feel that way here in LA... it's been very hot and humid recently. So, today's look reflects these scorching temps.

I've worn this vintage Harley tank before, in a completely different way. Today, it's all about taking it to the beach with a pair of cutoffs and a snapback.

TOUGH CAMO

This is a pretty standard outfit for me, mixing camo pants with black leather and two of my favorite accessories, aviators and a snapback.

I know it's not super summery, but I figured I should start to ease into fall sooner than later! I hope everyone is having a rad week.

MADISON MENS LAUNCH PARTY

Happy Friday everyone!

Last night I had the privilege of being one of four mens style bloggers to host the launch of the Madison Mens Shop in West Hollywood, which was super exciting. Part of the event included styling a mannequin with pieces from the store. Having worked various styling jobs in the past, it was cool to curate a look from the dope menswear designers that Madison carries.

For the mannequin, I ended up going with:

Biker jacket: BLK DNM
T-shirt: rag & bone
Khakis: rag & bone
Sneakers: Golden Goose

For my look, I wore:

Sunglasses: Ray-Ban Large Metal Aviators in Crystal Green Mirror
Tuxedo jacket: Armani
T-shirt: Topman Grey Marl 89 Long Sleeve T-Shirt
Jeans: Acne Roc Lana Jeans
Sneakers: Supra Footwear Vaider Hi Tops in White

All in all, it was a fantastic evening that included tunes by Nikki Pennie and mini sweets from Georgetown Cupcakes. Big thanks for all my buds for coming and supporting, and to the fab Bollare girls! Check out some snaps from last night below...

NEON SCHOOL SPIRIT

I'm showing off my neon school spirit today, by way of this "Class of '74" t-shirt. Really funny because I wasn't even born then!

Varsity letters seem to be all the rage right now, and for good reason. The stylish interpretation of an athletic aesthetic seems really fresh and I'm super into it.

FANG ATTACK

Thought I'd bring out my fangs with this wild We Are Handsome jersey.

As you know, I've been diggin' the B&W look lately (exhibit A and B) and so I thought it would be rad to give this howlin' lion a spin for the summer.

Happy Monday, everyone!

B&W STEEZ

This laidback summertime look makes the most of the B&W trend that is still going strong... I've really gotten behind this since sticking to B&W can just make look simple yet impactful at the same time.

BLEACHED PURPLE

This is a quintessential relaxed summer look for me... can't beat cutoffs, a lightweight button up and high top Chucks. Of course I threw on a backwards hat and black aviators, too.

Plus, I'm glad that my tan from last weekend at the beach is still hanging around! What does everyone have planned for the 4th of July?

READY FOR SUMMER

I've said it before and I'll say it again... I am SO ready for summer!

Bring on the cutoffs, tank tops, long days at the beach, sundrenched afternoons, cold drinks and long nights!

This is always my favorite time of year, especially because it's my birthday week! I love that celebrating my birthday always serves as kind of a summer kickoff. Can't wait to toast with family and friends this week and weekend!

VROOM VROOM

I've never been for a ride on a motorcycle before, so I'm not quite sure where my fascination slash obsession with motorcycle jackets and vests comes from. Perhaps it's because my super cool mom was always wearing this badass authentic Harley biker jacket when I was growing up, and she has the best style.

Anyways, this getup makes me want to hop on a bike and go VROOM VROOM!

CASUAL COMBO

This casual combo is perfect for a warm spring day in LA. Super into the color mix of wine, grey and white. And, as usual, I had to add in a backwards hat and mirrored aviators.
