Forthwith

May 17, 2016

Mother nature can be a trip! Nowadays, you cannot even trust your weather app to tell you the temperature anymore. It may looks nice and beautiful outside, but once you step out there it's a whole different story.

Dressing appropriate for the weather can be tough as you never know what day might hold. Spring is a very interesting season can it can be cold, cool, warm, or hot. You just never know how it is going to be. One thing I love about my Uniqlo lightweight vest is the fact that it is lightweight, and it keeps me warm when it gets a bit chilly.

A trend during the summer that always come back is khaki. It is the comeback trend that everyone loves because earth tones are easy to wear and style. My khaki pants goes with every color of shirts I own. Styling is simple and I love that I do not have to overthink what goes with it.

Luster

March 11, 2016

My daily essentials is not complete without a great sweater to add to my closet. I am a sucker for wearing sweaters as it is such an easy way to upgrade your wardrobe. 

Living in a state that have 2 season; winter and construction (Michigan joke for those Michiganders out there reading my blog). Layering is my daily life and it's easy to do with the right sweater.

Today's blog post feature a vibrate yellow sweater from H&M Modern Essential collection which is Selected By David Beckham. With a sweater so bold is it easy to style as you already know that is is going to be the key piece in your outfit. The only way to work it is by dressing around the sweater.

In keeping the sweater as the key piece of my look, I just wear darker clothing such as this grey texture jacket and dark grey wool pants. Finish it with a simple all black slip on.

Minimal

March 2, 2016

You probably hear the word "Minimal" a lot for the past 2 years, right? Trust me, I didn't know what the heck people meant by saying they like minimal clothing. In my head, I'm thinking you want to wear less clothes. By all means, do your thing. In the term of fashion, minimal, it just simply mean wearing black and white.

Black and white is by far the most popular and used color combination as it goes so beautiful together. It is everyone to go styling because it is easy and compliments each other well. In this blog post, I styled one of my to-go look for this minimal style.

I'd like to start with the basic, a white shirt, then a simple black textured sweater for some depth to the top layer of my outfit. By adding something as simple as a texture to a sweater you can make your outfit go the extra mile.

I swear the pants I am wearing is minimal. It is black and white checkerboard print. I love to add some sort of print to my look if all that I am wearing is solid color. It add some balance to keep it not so boring and predictable.

You can't complete the look without the right accessories. In keeping with the minimal theme, I am rocking the new Publish x Timex watch collection and Jack Erwin "Hubert" wingtip shoes.

Jacket: Forever 21 Men

Sweater: Forever 21 Men

Pants: Uniqlo

Piece By Piece

February 26, 2016

Today's blog post is about staple pieces. Buying pieces for your wardrobe that you can pair it with many outfits and year-long.

These staple pieces can be wore by itself or layer up together.

Let's start with the first layer; a simple white shirt. I love a fitted white shirt as it can go with under any sweater like this "Inside Outside" sweater from H&M. This is one of the piece #SelectedByBeckham. I love the neutral color of this sweater as I can wear it with grey pants or jeans for a more casual look. A perfect selection from H&M: Modern Essentials.

This spring you will see a lot of white jackets, more importantly, white leather jackets. They are becoming a hot issue in fashion as they add an alternative to the classic ones. The perfect jacket to help layer with your sweater. You can wear it over the shoulder or just wear it normally, either way, it is the perfect spring jacket.

One of my favorite winter jackets that get compliments often on the street. I love color and texture of this jacket as it pair perfectly with all of my outfits during this winter.

Winter Jacket: Forever 21Men

Leather Jacket: Forever 21Men

Sweater: H&M

Shirt: Forever 21Men

Pants: Uniqlo

Sneakers: Nike Roshe

Bracelet: Enteresant

Simplicity

August 20, 2015

Suns out, guns out, right? Is that the new thing to say now when wearing tanks? Either way it is tank season and we should let our arm breathe after hiding it during the winter time.

Today's blog post we are talking about the secrets to a great outfit that you can repeat all season!

During the summer I'd like to wear baggy shirts as it help keeps me cooler and breathable during those humid days (which is basically everyday because it is summer). Keeping it loose and basic allows you to wear it all season long. You get to layer them with a nice jacket or blazer during the fall. No need to keep updating your closet with new clothes.

Another great piece to add to your wardrobe is are great tailor pants. These are pants you can wear styled casual with a simple loose shirt or a dress shirt tucked in for a more office look. Either way these pants can give you many options in term of looks.

The last secret to a great outfit is the shoes! Honestly, the perfect shoes will put your whole outfit together. Wearing the wrong footwear can ruin the whole outfit, so make sure you try on as many as you can in the mirror to see which ones you want. I love a nice clean white pair of sneakers (I have about 5 pairs). But keeping it clean with each wear is a full time job! I got to always make sure that I am not stepping into anything that can get it dirty.

We all heard of that one saying "____ is the new black" but let's be real. Nothing is ever going to be the new black. Black in anything is just simply easier on the eye. Here are a few tricks on how to look like stylish dressed in black from head to toe.

Today's blog post is all about looking sleek and chic in black. Dressing in black is very simple to do, but it can be tricky as you can look like some high school rebellious kid going against society (we all been there, done that). I am going to teach you how to look like the matrix in the fashion world. When wearing all black, I like to play around with different material for each pieces. Putting together fabrics that goes well with each other.

Starting off with a long bomber jacket with faux leather sleeves and cotton body. Pairing the jacket with a moto jacket for a grungy look. Finish the top with a button down shirt. As for bottom of the outfit I always trust my black jean from Uniqlo as you can get it tailored right after you buy it. You can pick it up the next day free of charge. Finishing off the whole look with a pair of polish dress shoe. I believe that the perfect pair of shoes can put the whole outfit together.
