Who says white men cant jump? The last time I wore this tie I felt it would have worked better with a pink shirt. The red is very bright and so I thought the pink would help tone it down a bit. I also decided to go ultra preppy, but college type preppy, with the … Continue reading Floating with pink
Dressiquete - Sometimes, Always, Never
Tom Ford says, "keep your jacket buttoned. Always. It's just really flattering" and Tom Ford is right, because even though Tom Ford puts on his pants one leg at a time like the rest of us, when his pants are on, he's Tom Ford. So now that we know our jackets should always be buttoned, … Continue reading Dressiquete - Sometimes, Always, Never

So Misha had been invited to the premiere of the Great Gatsby at Spier event and, it was a dress up theme. Yesssss.

Floral and houndstooth
Pattern Mixing. That's what I'm talking about. The trick? Is playing with your sizes.

To integrate them better and … Continue reading Floral and houndstooth

The heat. It's coming people. Im struggling to wear blazers as summer approaches, and I do believe that blazer just completes your outfit.

Red. Green plaid and red
I wasn't particularly thrilled with this outfit! When I left home, I felt like I had dressed for Christmas. I should of worn a pink shirt which would of helped soften the red tie. Because mainly, all I wanted to do was ear that red tie and micro houndstooth pocket square! Either way, I left … Continue reading Red. Green plaid and red
