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.

Modern Trail

Put on your Timberland shoes and head on an adventure. Create your the Modern Trail. The Modern Trail is your journey. At Timberland, their boots, shoes, jackets and sandals are made with your work, play and travel adventures in mind.

The Modern Trail is about everyday adventures, connecting with fellow explorers and sharing what's discovered. I am discovering my campus at Michigan State University during winter, a real life winter wonderland.

Keeping my look very simple and casual with a black shirt and black jeans as the attention will go to my yellow boots. In theme with my winter outdoor look, I pair it with a forest green bomber that is a favorite of mine.

Peanuts x Lacoste collection

In honor of the 3D wide animation “The Peanuts Movie” out this year, Lacoste partnered up with Peanut once again after the success of their 2010 collection.

The 2015 collaboration showcase a seasonal set of the brand's signature polo shirts in grey, white, and navy, as well as a navy sweatshirt. 

The tops feature whimsical scaled-down graphics of your favorite Peanuts characters, including Snoopy and Charlie Brown, interacting with the iconic Lacoste crocodile. Pieces from the collaborative project will be offered in both adult and children sizes, available now online and in-stores.

Thanks to Lacoste and Peanuts I get to relive my childhood and played dress up with my favorite character from the show; Snoopy!

Cruising through the streets of the Upper West Side on a nice Fall day we were able to shoot with beautiful houses and colors in the background.

Today's post, I am styling one of the the most timeless and iconic piece you need to have in your closet. This staple piece will help you create a classic outfit.

I am talking about the classic Lacoste polos. They have became such an iconic piece throughout the years. Remember, they are definitely investment pieces, so don't be afraid to splurge on certain ones if the time is right.

The Lacoste polos are so easy to wear and style. All you need is a nice pairs of fitted jeans or pants. The perfect footwear to style it with is some clean white sneakers for a sport chic look; or a nice pair of loafers for a more sophisticated style.

Remember to share your best lacoste polo with the hashtag #MyLacostePolo on social media to be feature on their site.

I recently teamed up with Calvin Klein Jeans introducing their newest line. The Black Series Capsule which features premium, urban streetwear grounded in the brand’s iconic logo. The new collection, designed by Calvin Klein Jeans Global Creative Director Kevin Carrigan, consists of bomber jackets, tees, sweatshirts, and sweatpants for men and women. All pieces will be constructed with tonal black neoprene that features new heat-sealed technology.

For those who do not quite understand where streetwear fall under. Streetwear can be describe many ways, but the best way to explain it is. It is community of fashion enthusiasts who are inspired by clothing styles derived by skateboard, surf, hip hop, and retro 80s/90s sensibilities. Streetwear continues to evolve in modernity, but tends to be distinguishable as an urban style to the general public.

In this blog post, I am wearing the space zip front hoodie and space tailored joggers from the collection. Styling this collection is pretty easy as the pieces are amazingly made and tailored. You can pair it with some nice black jeans or any of your favorite fitted jeans. 

You can complete this look with a simple solid color (black or white) sneakers. I decided to go with my favorite pairs of black Chelsea boots from Thursday Boot. I was recently introduced to the brand. These boots are one of the most comfortable boots to wear. The design is very sleek and clean that is why I decided to wear it with this look.
