 He’s Wearing
Navy Slim Suit-: H&M
Spread Collar Shirt: H&M
Bow Tie: H&M
Pocket Square: Atlas & Mason
Wingtips: Aldo

Is the navy blue suit the new black suit? Not really but it does look extremely good and is less formal. I got my suit and tie on for this event that took place at the “W “Hotel in Los Angeles hosted by Annex Magazine. I really enjoy simple outfits and  keeping it minimal. As you can tell by this ensemble, understated sometimes makes more of an impact.

A fitted suit can always make a man feel more confident. To all gentlemen, get your clothing tailored! If you can’t find the right fit, invest in a good tailored suit because it will pay off in the long run. Luckily for me this slim suit from H&M was fitted and I didn’t have to go through all the trouble to get it tailored.

I’m all about the modern look and clothing that fit my body type. With this look I went with blue scheme mixing a dark blue suit with a light blue pinstripe button down. Because men can and in my opinion should  accessories, I decided to add a dark blue knit bowtie and a gifted Atlas & Mason  pocket square. When you look good you definitely feel good. The best part about transitioning seasons is getting to wear more dressy attire. Make sure to let us know which outfits you like more, the casual or dressy.

Silver Knuckle Rings: H&M (Here)
Silver Chain Necklace: Cotton On (Similar Here)

I’ve recently started seeing more and more bloggers rock graphic tees and it inspired me to try it out. I remember when I was in high school I would wear band tee shirts and graphic tees dressed up and I would get weird looks by all the “cool kids“. This really exited me because I got to kick it old school!

 I suggest getting a little creative when wearing a graphic tee. Dress it up with some jeans and throw a statement necklace on for a fashion-forward look. I would definitely wear heels if your going out at night for a classy look. Other items you can wear are a skirt, a bright blazer, or a vest (like I did). Avoid wearing anything that looks worn out.

Now, lets talk accessories. Above the knuckle rings are my current obsession. I think they add spice to a simple outfit, especially when you stack them. The best part about these rings is you can now purchase them online at H&M since this week they announced they are now open for online business. I provided the link above!!!!! I hope you all enjoyed my take on how to wear a graphic tee and stay tuned for more!

Lawless

He’s Wearing
Panama Hat: Target
Wayfarer Sunglasses: Ray Bans
Button up: H&M
Distressed Jeans: H&M
Loafers: Aldo

This Outfit was heavily influenced by the “Roaring Twenties“. The fashion of that time is one of my favorites because it reminds me of Al Capone. I feel he was one of the best dressed people that ever lived because he was very classy.

Thanks to GQ Magazine, I was able to find a panama hat at Target for a great price . Panama hats are classier but if you are not comfortable wearing this type of hat, you can always wear a fedora. I threw it on with a black button up and some really cool distressed jeans (both from H&M) for a laid back look.

    These leopard print loafers from Aldo are probably my favorite shoes for the Summer. I am a loafer junkie because loafers could be dressed up with a suit or dressed down with jeans. I like to have one thing that stands out in my outfits and these loafers definitely do the job.

 We can’t believe summer is coming to an end but that doesn’t mean I can’t transition pieces from my summer wardrobe into next season. Make sure to stay tuned as I conclude my summer looks.

Pasadena Flea Market

Polka dots are a fun and timeless trend to wear. I decided to pick out this dress from G stage in small polka dot print because of my body frame. The smaller your body frame is, the more you might be able to get away with wearing big polka dots. If you are not comfortable wearing a full polka dot dress, an alternative is to have fun accessorizing a scarf, purse, flats, etc.

I decided to accessories this vintage looking belt to make my waist look smaller and to add some character to the outfit. Can we please just focus for a second on this beautiful Hamsa necklace I picked up at the Rose Bowl Pasadena Flea Market from Jewelry Holics booth. Please make sure to check out their instagram and website for amazing jewelry pieces.

Not only was it my first time going to the Pasadena Flea Market, I was very excited to finally meet Melanee. I also had the pleasure of meeting local photographer Dennis from Dennis Renaissance  . It was nice getting to know more local bloggers.

 I love to bargain shop and I picked up some really cute items from different booths for a steal. If you haven’t been to the Pasadena Flea Market, I highly suggest it. Everyone is friendly, the culture is beautiful and you might just spot someone famous (we saw Kat Von D).

Tough Guys Wear Floral

 He’s Wearing
M65 Field Jacket: Heritage
Spread Collar Dress Shirt:H&M:
Floral Tie: BDG
Watch: Timex
Jeans: 21Men
Wingtips: Steve Madden

I believe Summer is the time of year to stay basic . For this look I went with a statement floral tie that I love  from BDG. I paired this look with some white jeans which is the one item all men need in their wardrobe for the Summer.

This vintage looking M65 jacket that I use as a blazer at times is a light weight material and great for layered looks. The weather is sometimes unpredictable in LA so it is always good to carry around a jacket.

I have a sick obsession with statement shoes. These olive green Steve Madden Wingtips are one of my favorites at the moment. I feel like when men shop for a shoe we should think about how we can implement the shoes into several outfits. Make sure your wardrobe coexists with the shoe your going to buy.

As we continue to enjoy this L.A Summer, I hope you are enjoying yours.

Classic Baroque

She's Wearing

Baroque Print Dress: H&M (Similar Here)

Teal Suede Heels: Zara (Similar Here)

Gold Earrings: Forever 21 (Similar Here)

Cheetah Bangle: Vintage (Similar Here) 

Baroque fashion is a popular trend that can be traced back to the 16th century. The European style can easily be dressed up or down. In my opinion, the way to wear baroque is by keeping your look simple, balanced, and modern.

I bought this dress from H&M a while ago but couldn’t decide how I wanted to wear it. I felt it was a tricky statement piece to wear and I knew I wanted to look sophisticated. I decided to keep it feminine by pairing these Zara teal heels as my pop of color. 

So as you all may know by now, Zara had their annual sale and I bought these beautiful suede heels for a great price. These are definitely a great color to add to any black and white outfit or any outfit you really want to add some color to. I’m going to have fun styling these babies this summer.

Thank you for stopping by!

Floral Kimono: DTLA (Exact Here)
White Gladiator Sandals: Rhapsodielle (Similar Here)
White Belt: H&M (Similar Here)
Gold Necklace: Cotton On (similar Here)

 
Floral has to be my favorite print of all time because it can be used all year round, especially during the Summer. It’s a great way to accessorize a simple outfit or can be the focal point. 

 

Gladiator sandal heels are the talk of the Summer, these were a lucky find at a local boutique. I also have these in black because they are conformable and very trendy.

A lot of our blogger crushes are starting to show their versatility using floral prints. It can be paired with stripes, pop of colors, or denims. We really feel that it gives a refreshed and polished Summer feel to any outfit. Kimonos are very fun to throw on over a dress, shorts and a tee, or jeans. I will probably live in this Kimono during this hot Summer.

**************

We decided to team up with Canadian style duo Katherine from ourMode to bring you all a floral collaboration. We love how Katherine paired stripes with the beautiful top and the way she used pink as pop of color. For her outfit details, please make sure to check out their website.
