cologne- YSL L'HOMME SPORT

Morning readers! I'm excited to announce that I've taken part in a very cool project by YSL fragrance to showcase their new YSL L’HOMME SPORT...a masculine, and attracting scent that is being represented by the moto and rugged lifestyle of a modern man. I styled the editorial so it would compliment the mood- distressed leather jacket, canadian suit, boots and of course aviators. I compiled together several photographs that I felt inspired me and represented the fragrance perfectly. All of the images can be seen on the curated Pinterest board I created for the brand here. If you enjoy these shots- then you'll enjoy the ones I picked out for your viewing pleasure! go check it out. 

In regards to the scent itself, if you're considering a new cologne then keep this one in mind! Heavy in citrus & woodsy top notes, its the perfect balance for a fresh night-out. I prefer to wear it on dates, but that's just me;) According to Fragrantica it's moderate to long-lasting and has a perfect amount of Sillage (scent trail)

Shorts- Denim & Supply, Shirt- HM, SHOES- Sperry Topsider, Sunnies- 80spurple, Bag- Jack Spade

Hey Guys! Hope you all enjoyed your Memorial day weekend, I certainly did! Us New Yorkers were blessed with beautiful, hot dry weather! Felt like I was back home in Southern California. Today on the blog I wanted to showcase a casual yet sophisticated spring look so I paired my olive shorts with a crisp white shirt and boat shoes...and let's not forget the bag! I've been using this one by Jack Spade for a variety of different purposes lately, especially for my commute to the office in the mornings. The bag is great because it's both practical and dapper - not to mention made with durable materials that will last you a long time. 

If you have a minute check out the Jack Spade website- today's perk is as follows: 

Enter "SAVEMORE" at checkout to save 20% off orders of $150, 25% off orders of $250, AND 30% off orders of $350. (pretty good if you ask me)

Afternoon guys! Today I teamed up with our new office doggie, Franklin to snap some photos! She is a 4 month old Boston Terrier...but we like to call her the @brooklynTerrier because that's where she lives with her momma Danai. 

Franklin is supporting me today in these photos for the upcoming Event Firenze 4 ever in Florence, put on by Luisa Via Roma. I'm wearing this Royal Hem Cotton Linen blend jersey jacket from the site that I paired with white suit trousers and dressy slip-ons. Luisa Via Roma is a top online luxury destination that offers mens and women's designer-wear! they offer shipping to several countries and many of them free! music to your ears right?

Hey Guys! know i haven't posted on here in awhile, just been dealing with yet again ANOTHER move! but this time it's different...I finally got my own one bedroom in soho Manhattan, so no more roomies or issues haha I just prefer living alone with my own space, are you guys the same? 

One of my staple styles you'll see I wear in person is definitely relaxed-edge...a mixture of different cottons and leather! I spiced up the combo even more by adding my new Creative Recreation Prio black snake kicks( I'm always a fan of adding more textures to an ensemble) you'll have to check out some more styles from this seasons collection, think you guys would dig it.

Cool

watch- HERE

Afternoon guys! Hope everyone's been enjoying spring so far. I am SO happy that thermals, long johns, gloves and coats are a thing of the past! Let's move onto simple, clean and sophisticated- am I right?! This years transition has been surprisingly easy with the help of some new pieces, including this Larsson & Jennings Red Lader Watch. The bright pop of color gives my subtle outfits the right amount of character and voice it needs to sing. I throw on a light weight shirt over some contrasting chinos and slip on shoes, and then apply the colorful accessories last- starting with a good foundation is key. 

check out some other fun spring watches they offer this season HERE
