Outfit: Shark Week Ready
The shark’s the hottest animal right now! Discovery Channel’s annual, week-long obsession of the sea creature started on Sunday, and Sharknado‘s becoming a cult classic; with plans for a second film due in 2014 that will be based in New York.
When I came across TOMs’ Shark Week shoes, I fell in love with them and put together a look based around the ‘it‘ animal’s new footwear. With the shoes having a strong pattern already, even if you go with the Biminis, I wanted to keep the look simple, but still sharp.
Shot by the Intrepid, I styled Eric here with John Varvatos’ silk-blend Hampton polo in dry fig and a pair of dark wash, skinny jeans from Express. Accessories include are VonZipper’s new Commonwealth sunglasses in torte, a brown cuff watch from GUESS, and the tech-friendly Herschel Supply Heritage backpack—all of which matched the navy canvas and brown suede stringing the eyelets perfectly.

Outfit: Simple Stripes
My minimalistic style really takes over in the summer, more than usual, and especially when I know I’ll be hopping around the city (to keep cool I suppose). I took a break towards the end of my day here in Washington Square Park with my friend Hayden (who I earlier styled and photographed for an upcoming post).
I try to brighten up these simple looks by adding splashed of color. Here I used a navy and beige color scheme with Gap shorts and a pair of TOMS, and then I added an H&M stripped tee that included coral.
Since this still wasn’t colorful enough for me, I topped off the look with a pair a kelly green, crystal framed wayfarers from American Eagle. Eventually a Coach leather bracelet in cobalt blue was add that came from a preview event earlier that afternoon, and at the end of this post is a closer look of it.

TOMS Sophisticated Brogue Line Grows Its Mens Collection
TOMS Shoes has been upping the ante of its men’s footwear collection lately. This past May we saw their first men’s only shoe, the Paseo, a personal summer favorite of mine that has gone on to include several new colors and patterns.
Now the shoe company known for its charitable foundation is expanding into a timeless and sophisticated shoe design with the new Brogue. Taking the classic wingtip details its name implies, TOMS uses signature materials such of canvas, burlap and aviator twill to provide different options to the design—which includes a more dense rubber outsole for traction and breathable suede insoles.
The camo patterned pair comes in canvas, the West Coast influence stands out with the beige burlap option, and the aviator twill shoes are available in chocolate, ash and a beautiful burgundy (above). Each Brogue is available online for $98 each.
