Must Have Mauve

Mauve is a color that is rarely seen in a man’s wardrobe, especially when it comes to outerwear. So when I found this jacket it was love at first sight and I couldn’t resist. My luck continued when a few moments later I stumbled across a sweater in the same palette. A bold choice for outerwear I know and if you’re looking to introduce this color into your closet there’s so many ways to do with a little less gusto, LOL! A t-shirt, sock, or bag is a great way to dip your toe into this trend.

Visiting With Veuve

So often I hear people use the term “iconic” but seldom is it actually applicable. However, when your brand has been around for as been for 250 years there truly is no other word to describe it, ICONIC! The wondrous Veuve Cliquot celebrated a quarter of a millennium with a pop-up shop in Beverly Hills.

Coat SZN!

Coat szn is upon us! San Diego has had several days below 60 degrees, meaning fall is here to stay. Most recently I ransacked the outerwear section of my favorite online retailer, Boohoo Man. My approach to coats is quite simple, reimagined classics. Iconic plaid and houndstooth patterns are beautifully crafted in vibrant and sometimes unexpected colors.

Navigating Nashville

It’s been almost two years to date since I posted. I’m glad to be back writing, traveling, and most of all styling, though the latter hadn’t changed much. So, I decided to accompany my friend Dom to Nashville. Nashville has been on my radar for years but was never at the top of my list. You know we all have that “Where I want to travel” list and Nashville always sat between #12-15.

A Moment At Moniker General

If you’ve been following me on social media then you know things have been quite hectic, but in a great way.

T.G.I.F (Tacos Get Inhaled on Fridays)

What better way to kick off the weekend and last day of May than with tacooooooos?! An afternoon at City Tacos resulted in a full grin and an even more full belly. Just like a house, the most important part of these delights are the foundation aka the tortilla

Wandering The Windy City

Chicago has been on my list of places to travel since before I started styling. This trip was a bit pleasure and bit work which is always the perfect combo, right? In between meetings I was able to explore the city which is so rich in history and culture. The food scene is quite vast and nothing short of amazing, from Italian to French to Mexican and surprisingly even sushi!

Lounging At Louisiana Purchase

Louisiana Purchase is the newest edition to both Grind and Prosper Hospitality and the North Park food scene. I love when restaurants opt for a location that is off the beaten path. There was so much buzz around the opening of this establishment that I couldn’t wait to try it! First up was the flavorful blend of land and sea, crab stuffed chicken skin.

A Modern Canadian Tuxedo

The Canadian Tuxedo (denim on denim), regardless of it’s name, has become a part of American fashion. We have seen celebrities do it right and oh so wrong, remember MTV Music Award JT & Britney. If you’re going to create the look with the same color be sure to infuse some flair. I went with a tuxedo style jean and shirt with a splatter on the end of it.
