It’s a Trench's World…And We Are Just Living In It.

March 8, 2018

Let’s talk about a classic outerwear, the Trench coat.

I have always been a fan of Trench jackets. They are really just a timeless and effortless piece. By putting one on you automatically feel so sophisticated. Bring your outfit a notch higher.

They go so well with any of your looks. Perfect for that first day of spring, where it is warm but chilly in the shade. Those rainy days where it just feels right to put on your trench jacket.

I fall in love with this trench coat from H&M the moment I stepped the store. The color is just perfect, the length is just right for me, and the fit is nice. There is many types of trench coat but that is for another time (new style post for them soon).

I already knew how I am going to style the jacket, with a slim-fit forest green suit, also from H&M.  I love the color combination of the forest green and tan. Be on the look out for forest green as it will be the color for this fall.

Feels

June 11, 2017

Can't go to the Havana this summer, so I am taking Havana to me. Adding some floral to my wardrobe during the summer.

I know what you are thinking, "Floral for summer? How shocking". Well, how can you not wear floral prints for the summer, it is the only time it is acceptable to do so, so why not?

Play around with the prints and be playful. I love to wear floral prints for my shirts and keeping the lower parts of my outfit like the pants and shoes simple and clean. That way the attention goes straight to my shirt and have a whole cohesive look.

Settled

March 30, 2016

I've recently decided to take a unexpected turn in my life and moved across the states to California. I've been living back and forth between New York City and Michigan for while and it has been exhausted yet comfortable as I was used to the routines that I was doing. I've grew bored of the cities as everything is the same. I lost the passion and excitement I had for New York City. I needed a change of everything and just moved to California with an unclear future...I didn't have a job or anything line up in California. But I wanted to get back to who I was when I first moved to New York City. A young kid who was hungry for success and determined to make a name for myself.

Today's blog post is about keeping your outfit simple by playing with texture. Recently purchased this rigged texture sweater from H&M as part of the Selected By Beckham collection. I don't think I need to say much about this sweater as it speaks for itself. A simple design but bold piece to wear. The perfect bottom to wear with this sweater is just a simple back slacks and white sneakers.

Blending two different pattern pieces can be hard, but it can work when the two pattern compliments each other by having similar color tone. Playing up the patterns can bring your outfit from okay to phenomenal.

Shirt: Bar III

Sweater: H&M

Pants: Perry Ellis

Redefine

March 24, 2016

We could be and do anything we want. That's what I have been telling a lot of my friends. I know that It sound really cliché, but we really have to seize the moment. So...that's why I've decided to move to Los Angeles, CA. I am scare to start over again, but I am excited for what to come here. I don't know what is going to happen or if I will do well. I just know that I want this. Sometimes fear is a good thing. It pushes me to succeed.

Today's blog post is about mixing the new and old pieces in your closet to create a new look. Mixing two of my favorite suits from Darkoh and Perry Ellis to create a bold suit.

I am not the kind of person to wear an outfit once. I always recycle my looks by changing up a few things about it. If you remember from my previous blog post, this red double breast suit was a made for my birthday. I have worn it a few times by styling it with different shirts and shoes with it. This time I decided to just wear the blazer only.

I decided to pair the blazer with a simple pair of black dress pants that is part of my Perry Ellis suit. I love the color combination of red and black. It is just a bold and powerful look that you can wear to an event that you want to stand out in.

Blazer: Darkoh

Pants: Perry Ellis

Coat: Tiger of Sweden

Shoes: Tiger of Sweden

Throwback

March 15, 2016

I think we can all agree that you can never wear too much black or have enough black pieces in your wardrobe. I lost count of how many black shoes I have in my closet. It's always my first color option when buying new footwear.

One of my most recent footwear that I got is my "Duke" boots from Thursday Boots. I have been wearing them nonstop. They are so comfortable to wear. I can walk hours in them and not feel like my feet are numb from the pain. 

These boots can speaks for itself when paired with any of your looks. They are so stylish that you don't need to worry about it clashing with your outfit.

Today's blog post I am styling the boots with a very simple look.

Going for a rugged look, I am pairing the boots with a pair of nice black fitted jean. By wearing a fitted jean you keep the look clean and able to pair it with a loose shirt like the print shirt I am wearing. Finish the top layer with a simple jacket. An option piece is an oversize winter coat.

Get The Look:

Overcoat: H&M

Jacket: Topman

Shirt: Forever 21 men

Jean: American Eagle Outfitters

Boots: Thursday Boots
