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.

To think outside the box is to go against the norm and that is what this new watch brand did. Great George is a different kind of watch brand that is on its own lane. Born and created in New York City by two friends. Great George offers square watches made with quality materials at an obtainable price.

Today's blog post I am styling one of the watches from the collection named "The Warren". The Warren is made with brushed steel case. Come with marine dial and saddle leather strap.

Styling the watch with a double-breasted suit to help bring out the sophistication of this watch. A beautiful watch deserve a beautiful suit to go with it. 

Putting together this ensemble without clashing each pieces can be tough, but you got to remember one single rule. Finding pieces that compliment each other rather than fighting it. To help tone this green suit, I went with a soft orange textured sweater and a white shirt underneath.

Putting this look together can not be done without the proper footwear. I decided to keep it sport chic with a nice pair of white sneakers from American Eagle Outfitters.

Summer Fling

Winter may be approaching us, but that does not mean the rest of the world will be in a winter wonderland.

Reminiscing about one of my favorite summer trends this summer; bold prints jackets. A great staple piece for spring and summer.

Styling for a bold piece can be difficult as it can clash with your other pieces such as your pants, footwear, or even accessories. I recommend when wearing such a bold piece you want to dress around it and keep everything simple.

In this look, I am just wearing a fitted white shirt and a blue pant with subtle plaid prints on it. To keep this look sexy and summery I decided to keep some of my top buttons unbutton. A nice pair of white sneakers to keep it casual. During the night you can change up the look by button up the buttons and switching out the sneakers for a nice pair of brown wingtips.

A watch can say a lot about you. Make sure the style of watch you choose go with your look. Also, people like it when you are punctual. It is a great quality to have and can help you a lot in the long run.

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.

Audacious

I often get asked what is my style? And I honestly do not have the correct answer as my style is forever changing. I do not think that I should just stick to one style as I am always growing and changing myself.

With each looks that I do, it is all me and not me playing dress up. I love being able to be versatile and not just be one style.

When it come to fashion it is okay to be simple and not so over the top. I want to style my outfit in a way that show off the pieces and let it come together as one. I don't want my clothes to clash.

When you have such a bold suit like this one from Darkoh. You want to keep it simple and let the suit be the main focus because it is already is with such a beautiful color (that is why red is my favorite color).

So with this suit, I'd like to keep it very simple with a plain black shirt to help contrast with the red. A white shirt would be okay, but it wouldn't have the same affect as the black since the buttons on the suit is black. It is better to match it with a black shirt. 

Finish off this look with a black wingtip shoes from Windsor Smith and a simple watch from Daniel Wellington.

Summer is official over. Now we can all go and be basic with our pumpkin spice latte as fall begins. But not really on the basic part because I really do like Starbucks Pumpkin Spice latte. It's one of the things that I look forward to in the fall as well as layering and great jackets.

Also, I can wear suits without dying from the heat. Some times it is hard being dapper. That is why I choose not to be dapper all the time. There are ways to wear suits without looking all stiff and uptight.

One way is to keep it casual with a nice tee shirt with patterns to add some contrast and boldness to the outfit.

Keeping it casual in a suit is one of my favorite looks. It is just a quick and easy change to the dapper suit look. You can add a lot of personality to it by wearing sneakers or adding a pin to the blazer like I did.
