Love In Capri

Dolce & Gabbana welcome Summer 2016 by launching its annual limited editions of their famous fragrances Light Blue from 2001 and Light Blue Pour Homme from 2007.

Both fragrances inspired by the summer atmosphere in the Italian island of Capri. Perfect for the summer with its light and fresh aromas. A great melody of citrus fruits and musk wood from white flowers.

Dolce & Gabbana known for putting on a show. They partnered with Condé Nast Traveler to take us to Capri in Los Angeles in The Hills. The event is a theme party where guests show up in Capri inspired outfits.

Keeping my outfit in theme with Capri. I wore linen pants with floral prints shirt and white kicks. You can never go wrong with linen for summer as it is light and breezy. If you know me, you'd know that I am pretty simple at times. I do not like to do overboard in prints. I love to have one big statement piece with simple everything else; like my shirt and pants combination.

Business Casual 101

With warmer weather approaching us wearing layers is not ideal especially with a suit. I've team up with Banana Republic to help you dress accordingly to the hot summer.

I am not a fan when someone say to dress "business casual" to me that sound very vague. What exactly is business casual anyway? How can you be casual when you dress professional. Luckily for you, I've found out exactly what it means.

In my years of research business casual simply means dressing without a jacket. It is as simple as that.

Styling a summer shirt from Banana Republic to help me get ready for errands run during the week. Dressing casual is simple, but with a fitted shirt with great pattern I know that I will make a statement around town. Pairing the shirt with a fitted and clean black slack is the best way to go. In keeping theme with the casual I just finish it with a crisp black low top sneakers. A great outfit that I can wear for lunch to a business meeting or to dinner with friends to discuss weekend plans.

Esemplastic

Everyone know the saying of "work hard, play harder", right? Well, I do believe that you do deserve to have fun and let loose once in a while. Working hard for your future is great and all. But if you not take the time to actually enjoy what you've been working hard for then you will end up losing yourself. That used to be my life when I was living in New York City. I was busy working and not living. Took me awhile to realize that your happiness is worth more than you think.

Today's blog post is your guide to rocking all black look, but don't get too crazy to the point you look goth (which in case if that is what you are going for then rock on!). I teamed up with Perry Ellis and Creative Recreation to show you how to can style your all black outfit effortless.

Step 1:

Make sure all of your black pieces are the same tone and shade of black. Let's get one thing straight. Just because the color is black, it doesn't necessary mean is going to be the same shade or tone. So double check.

Step 2:

Play with the fabric and texture of the pieces. When wearing one color head to toe, you have to play up the fabric to create some contrast in the look. That is when the smallest detail matters.

Step 3:

Footwear is very important here. You don't want match the color of the footwear completely to your outfit. Play it up by wearing a pair shoe with a white sole. For example, the shoes that I am wearing in this post is all black with white sole. Or a pair of white shoes would work fine too.

Settled

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.

Redefine

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.

Admirably

In partnering up with Perry Ellis, I am asking you how do you #VeryPerry in Perry Ellis.

Got chosen to style the mesh polo from their Spring Summer 2015 collection as it is perfect for the summer heat. The polo is very soft and easy to move in. Plus, it does not stick to your body as it keeps your body breezy from the windy.

One of my favorite tops to wear year-long are polos. Personally, I love to dress preppy as I've been dressing preppy throughout all my years in middle school, high school, and even college. If you know me from before I would always be in polos. They are so easy to wear and style.

For this style post, I simply style it with a subtle plaid blue suit as black and blue combo should get more love! Most people likes to stray away from those two colors together, but I believe they look amazing together.
