Feels

Can't go to the Havana this summer, so I am taking Havana to me. Adding some floral to my wardrobe during the summer.

I know what you are thinking, "Floral for summer? How shocking". Well, how can you not wear floral prints for the summer, it is the only time it is acceptable to do so, so why not?

Play around with the prints and be playful. I love to wear floral prints for my shirts and keeping the lower parts of my outfit like the pants and shoes simple and clean. That way the attention goes straight to my shirt and have a whole cohesive look.

Throwback

I think we can all agree that you can never wear too much black or have enough black pieces in your wardrobe. I lost count of how many black shoes I have in my closet. It's always my first color option when buying new footwear.

One of my most recent footwear that I got is my "Duke" boots from Thursday Boots. I have been wearing them nonstop. They are so comfortable to wear. I can walk hours in them and not feel like my feet are numb from the pain. 

These boots can speaks for itself when paired with any of your looks. They are so stylish that you don't need to worry about it clashing with your outfit.

Today's blog post I am styling the boots with a very simple look.

Going for a rugged look, I am pairing the boots with a pair of nice black fitted jean. By wearing a fitted jean you keep the look clean and able to pair it with a loose shirt like the print shirt I am wearing. Finish the top layer with a simple jacket. An option piece is an oversize winter coat.

Derring-Do

Whoever seeks good finds favor, but evil comes to one who searches for it. But sometimes it is fun to be bad.

The second installment of my style post in styling your favorite suit into different looks. In my previous blog post I kept it very minimal and easy to wear from day time to night time.

Today's style post is more edgy and stylish than the first. I'd like to say that this look is about bringing the edgy side of you out. The dark side where you don't let it shine much, but now you can in how you dress. Sometime being bad is just half as fun as doing good. Style is about being creative and often time you get to play with it.

One of the best thing about a simple suit like this one, you can play with it by styling it with  pattern/print shirts to add some edge or contrast to the suit. In this look, I added a a tribal influenced shirt to pair it with the blue suit. With just one piece of clothing I turned this suit into more of a night out outfit rather than something you would wear at the office.

Now let's talk about adding accessories to this outfit to complete the look. This made sound weird, but this fur lining leather jacket is one of my accessories to this look that helps bring the edgy feel. If you ever want to feel like a bad-ass I recommend you investing in a pair of leather jackets. They are the ultimate bad-ass jacket that is trending every spring. Adding some two chains to the mix helps bring out the gold prints in my shirt. Keeping my wrist game on point with the helps of the Daniel Wellington team by providing me with this rose gold watch.

This year footwear is all about the monk straps. They are the men's stylish dress shoes as they bring class and touch of masculine to your look overall. They are very easy to pair with casual look or formal.

As I my style evolve through out the years I like to experience and see what works for me. I am becoming more daring on how I style my suits because I do not like to be typical with it and play it safe. It does not always have to be suit and tie. So have fun and add some prints and leather to your suit. Be bold with it.

Hello,

Hope everyone is doing well

This week style post will be a series of 3 looks featuring a three-piece suit from Darkoh. I will be styling this suit into 3 different style that is ready to wear for any occasions.

The commitment to buying a suit is tough because they are very expensive, and you want to make sure that the investment is worth it. You want to make sure that it is the suit that you can wear it many times. One thing that I will confidently tell you is I always recycle my suit into different looks. I can get at least 6 outfits from one suit by styling it with my other wardrobe.

The first look of this series is very simple and causal as it is practical for day to night time look. Putting together the 3 piece and keeping it crisp with just a plain white shirt. The attention should be on the suit no need to try any harder for it. I would say that this look is more of a night time for dates or causal wear at the office. If you want this look to be more formal, then just add a nice solid color or pattern tie and handkerchief for a quick up-do to the outfit.

Any look isn't complete without a nice pair of shoes and accessories to go with it. In this case a nice pair of loafers and a classic watch. This summer it is all about loafers. They are the the summer dress shoes as they are easy to slip on and adds such a classy feel to any looks. I went for a brown loafers for this blue suit. One thing to keep in mind when wearing all in blue is finding the right color of footwear to balance it is. The best colors to wear is white or brown. They will balance out the all blue look so you won't look like you are part of the Blue Man Group.

One watch that I always pair with my suit is the classic Daniel Wellington watches. They are really the watch for all style as they are go from formal to casual by switching out the strap for leather or nato band. From now until the end of April you can get 15% off all Daniel Wellington product using my promo code "datswhatupp".

Basic

Over the past few years, we have come to a conclusion that to dress boring or normal is "basic". Why do we have to dress for attention, but rather just dress in whatever we feel comfortable with. Dress for yourself not for others. To dress “normal” is the height of chic, yet to call someone “basic” is the chicest put-down, one that shows no signs of disappearing.

Today's style post is very "basic" or I'd like to call it chic. It is an easy look that is easily put together when you are in a hurry or don't have time to put something together but you still want to look effortless. One of my must have essentials in my wardrobe is the basics, which are, clean white shirts, tailored black slacks, an overcoat, and your to-go-to black shoes.

Whenever I am traveling away for the weekend I always pack my basics because it is light packing and can be put together in many ways. They go with any shirts, slacks, and occasions. During the last leg of winter, this grey overcoat is my everyday coat to withstand the chilling wind and cold. The reason why I love this coat is the way it is made. So simple and practically. It has a great shade of grey and really does go with all of my looks (as you can see from my previous style posts). Plus I am a sucker for long coat. But who isn't right? When putting it on you just feel chic.

The last accessory for this look is a nice pair of watch that adds to the outfit and isn't there for display. The Filippo Loreti watch is the watch with a story. It is an unique and personal piece of jewelry that holds valuable memories.

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.
