A toast to the future

Every blog has it's milestones and it's goals that it wants to meet.  Every writer who publishes their work whether for a book, screen play or just as an outlet for how they feel wants to see some form of success either in the form of recognition or profit.  I think a lot of people start writing and expect nothing in return but for someone to simply just read their work.

When I started writing on here only a month ago that's all I simply wanted out of this.  For someone to read my writing and simply take something away from it and apply it to their own lives.  Tomorrow marks my one month birthday from the day of launch of the blog itself, I would have never thought it would take off the way it has.  Views into the thousands, dozens of followers and comments and the support I have gotten from my family and friends.  I'm so grateful for everything I have in this world and my blog is another thing that I an simply grateful for.

 I just wanted to say thank you to everyone out there who either follows me on Twitter, Facebook or just reads a post I write.  I can not wait to see what the future of this blog and my career as a writer holds for me.

  There is so much I want to accomplish and do and I hope you will be along for the ride and follow along as I give you a play by play account of the life of a fashion blogger.

Big Game, Big style

So the Super Bowl is this Sunday and even though I'll be working for most of the game I wanted to show a way to look good and still support your team.  You always see guys in over sized jerseys that make you look unflattering.  I'll be the one to say it it does not have to be that way.  I've put together two separate outfits online that represent both teams in each and look great.  So if your going to a super bowl party this Sunday ditch the Jersey and make an impression in your own stylish way.

BALTIMORE-

The Ravens colors are purple and black really simple and easy to use.  They already look good together so basically anything with this color combo will work.  I went really simple on this one.  Lacost polo tee + black pants + Ravens socks + black vans

SAN FRANCISCO-

Now San Fran's colors are red, white & gold so I kept the red and white, ditched the gold, kept it simple and came up with this one that I also thought looked great.  So no matter what team you'll be drunk and rooting for you can  still look dapper for both.

Red cardigan + denim shirt + white pants + 49er socks + black vans

Thrift Results

Just wanted to share the photos from the other day from my shoot with Aria Agusto.  She produces amazing work and I can't wait to work with her again.  It was awfully cold out if you couldn't tell.  I guess that's the price you pay for fashion. These were the items that I picked up at the Dakota Boys & Girls Ranch thrift store for a total of $6.  Enjoy

AND THE WINNER IS...

Just wanted to highlight my  pick for best dressed for the 2013 Sagg Awards.  He might not have won any awards but, he definitely won some hearts over.  With his new single just releasing and this appearance he's still on the top of his game.

THRIFT STORE SHOPPING

Today at the Dakota Boys & Girls Ranch they had all their clothing on sale for $1, that's right $1!  You would be surprised at the hidden treasures you can find at thrift stores.  If your not already roaming these little gems for some sweet deals do yourself a favor and get over there.  I picked up these items for a grand total of $6, not really sure you can find a deal like that anywhere but a thrift store.
