London Fashion Week: Men's FW 2019

I have been attending fashion week in New York for the past few years and felt like it was finally time to go overseas. I had the pleasure to attend a few shows for my first London Fashion Week: Men's and I absolutely had a wonderful time. Check out my vlogs while I was there:

As for the actual fashion goes, I have complied a few of my favorite looks from some amazing London based designers.

Travelling Upstate New York

The most I have traveled in the northeast, outside of New York City, has been to New Jersey. Those trips weren't much of anything due to the fact I went out there for photoshoots and came right back into the city. I recently made a trip to upstate New York for the first time and it reminded me a lot like my homestate, Tennessee. Everything was calming and relaxing. 

My friend, Ty and I made our way to Baldwin Winery in Pine Bush, New York. It was very much like a farm style. There was a barn, animals, huge backyard, hay, etc. They have this apple wine that literally just took us away. The best dessert wine I've ever had!

After we hung out at Baldwin for a bit and ate huge personal sized pizzas, we made our way 10 minutes away to Angry Orchard. THE Angry Orchard where they pick their apples and brew their ciders! Now, I don't drink much alcohol, but if I had a choice of drink. It would most likely be this. 

Here's a vlog about my first trip upstate!
It was a perfect apple getway from the big apple itself.

How To Style: Hiking Boots

It's been a long time coming, but I'm finally back with another blog post. The beginning of summer 2018, I was in dire need of new shoes. I scouted the interweb to find the perfect pair and in the end didn't find a thing. Eventually, I had the bright idea to scope out hiking boots! I'm highly aware that they're not the typical boot people would call "cute". But I think that if styled a certain way, they most definitely are.

With that being said, I am officially an owner of vintage Skechers platform hiking boots and I am utterly obsessed. 

Recently, I just found out that my obsession for outdoor wear is already coined with its own term: gorpcore. I absolutely love it for the fact that it's major comfortability and can be stylish. So I made a video so that it catches on for more of an outreach than just celebs.

HOW TO STYLE: YELLOW

Yellow fever?...Close to it, right? This is my most recent shoot with Sean Dougherty and probably my favorite by far. I'm already a sucker for monochrome looks, so an all yellow outfit with a yellow backdrop had me gone.

I made a quick video on how I incorporate yellow into my personal style. We all know it's a harder color to style due to the fact it can turn a whole look super loud, super quickly. Here are a few tips that will hopefully persuade you wear more yellow!

Stripes

I find myself being more into nautical colors the past few months. My favorite color to wear is already navy, so adding a bit of red is easily done. I paired fat and skinny stripes together. The thicker stripes are in my top, while the thinner stripes are in my pants.

Panorama NYC 2018

The first ever music festival I have been to was Bonnaroo a few years ago in Manchester, TN.

This summer, I had the ultimate pleasure of attending Panorama in NYC on Randall's Island. A different experience, for sure, but none the less, absolutely amazing!

As expected, it was quite hot. So, for my look I went with a red strapless top and took it in a monochrome approach by pairing it with a red skort and the red Mickey Mouse fanny pack.

I vlogged about this hectic and adventurous day on my Youtube Channel. Please subscribe, if you haven't already! ^_^

As for my makeup, I tried to go the 'festival route' with the stars and jewels. I think the outcome came out pretty nice!

An enormous thank you goes to HP for taking me to Panorama!

New York Fashion Week: Men's Spring/Summer 2018

Spring/Summer NYFW season is probably far worse than the Fall/Winter. I was drowning in my own sweat walking to and from Skylight Clarkson and Cadillac House. 

I have made part 1 of SS18 into a vlog on my Youtube Channel, with part 2 coming soon. Subscribe to stay updated! 

There were a lot of returning designers this season with some newcomers. I am going to show you a few favorites from the runways of New York Fashion Week: Men's.

Note: I noticed more purple and camo print on the catwalk!
