Perry Ellis Spring 2015 Collection + The Models Backstage
Perry Ellis returned to New York Fashion Week this season under new Creative Director Michael Maccari to show hi debut collection. For inspiration for the collection, Maccari looked at the art of Sean Scully for color and overall direction. “We are calling it Changes and Horizontals. Linear groupings, color play, and a nod to ‘active’ with the repetition of lines in his work became the foundation for print and trim details,” the designer shared earlier with me for AskMen.com, adding that the overall look is graphic, neat and colorful. This resulted in well structured suits and graphics prints on sweatshirts, shorts and bomber jackets were in the collection, plus light and technical outwear that included anoraks and cropped summer parkas.

Outfit: Food Truckin’ in Texas
From my Texas road trip with Best Western, one of my favorite things we did was a food tour of Austin through its colorful and cheeky (and tasty) food trucks. For the outdoorsy dinner crawl in the Texas heat (which since it was over 90 degrees F was luckily more of a bus tour), I sported an ikat pattern top from Territory Ahead, denim shorts I made, and UGG’s lightweight Cantrell suede chukka boot style.

Texas Road Trip: Photo Diary
Personal and professional travels have brought me to various parts of the U.S. and over international waters, but Texas wasn’t in my travel goals this year. Then when Best Western invited me on a road trip through The Lone Star State to experience a few of their properties and attend the National Association of Hispanic Journalists Convention, I thought there would be no better way to experience Texas and got onboard.

While it is still summer, have some fun and style it with stylish (and some whimsical) nautical accessories as I had my friend and blog model Hayden wear. Read the rest of this entry

Daily Essentials: Black Magic
In this edition of Daily Essentials, I focus on accessories in the color that you can never go wrong with, black. Chic by definition, having an outfit or accessories set based on black will always look good. However, it can look better and last you longer when you move from fast fashion items and upgrade to more luxurious products. Read the rest of this entry
