With Fall upon us and the temperatures getting colder by day, you're gonna need to stock up on so amazing knit wear. And what better way to do that then to make your sweaters pop with color. This blog post is giving you everything from bright yellow to neon orange, and everything in between like a smooth and casual blue. Below I put together some of my favorite color pop sweaters I am loving this Fall.
A few weeks back I got to pick out my favorite pieces form BLANK NYC. They came in the mail the other day and I was insanely blown away.

Have you been looking for an every day sneaker? Something you can do errands in, work in, and even meet friends for happy hour in. I partnered with Cole Haan and narrowed it down to two of my favorites which was so hard because I loved every pair. I haven't had a perfect classic white sneaker in a very long time and the Men's GrandPro Tennis Sneaker is everything I have been looking for. I also picked out the GrandMotion Woven Sneaker with Stitchlite that gives my feet the mobility and breathable support they need.

Fall is in the air and you need yourself a new jacket. Either it be a dope bomber, a insanely sexy varsity jacket, or just something casual to throw on, I got you covered.

Now that Summer has come to an end we should really be talking about fall trends. This year we are going a little bit bold with the trends. For example neon and animal print, both could be done totally wrong but also totally RIGHT. For your help I linked some of my favorite trends and favorite pieces below. Hope you enjoy! *each photo has a link*
Neon
You'll be seeing a lot of neon this fall. It's a good way to add a pop of color to your wardrobe and gives a little light to the start of the colder, darker season.
Plaid
Plaid, Plaid, Plaid! Everyone is always reaching for a different print, and this season we are going the classic route. Plaid is all the rage.
Animal Print
The animal print trend is definitely a permanent fall staple. You'll be seeing lots of button-ups, accessories and jackets.
Water Proof Jackets
Water and weather proof jackets are super in this fall, especially since we are suppose to get a lot of rain this season. They also last a very long time and come in handy.
If you want to talk about something classic and you can keep in your wardrobe for ever it's stripes! Yes trends come and go but stripes are a staple and are always in style even with the saturated trend is long gone for the season. When I think about stieps I thnk about my grandma and how she always was such a classic lady. She always had her hair done, her silk button ups on and red lip stick always on her lips. She avidly wore stripes and I loved it. My favorite type of stripe is vertical and time after time shows that they are here to stay in the mens fashion world. You can date stripes back to the 20's and 50's (my favorite eras) when the work force and fashion collided. I would kill for a pin stripe suit...one day. But for now I linked some of my favorites down below and all affordable!

My one goal when it comes to my hair is forever grasping the beach hair look all year round. Look, Summer may be coming to a close but that doesn't mean you have to say good by to effortless salt and sun kissed hair. When it comes to getting the beach hair look I use a few different products. One of my biggest tips to healthy hair is to wash your hair every 2-3 days, your hair has natural oils that will nourish and keep your scalp and hair healthy all by itself. Doing that alone adds to the beach hair look by doing the bare minimum. Another thing would be to ask your stylist to give your hair some texture. I noticed that when my stylist does this it gives it more of a messier look when I style it myself. But In the meantime I put together my 4 favorite products to get beach hair look, without the beach.

Labor Day is this weekend and that usually marks the end of Summer, but not for most of us (for me Summer never ends). That being said we can for sure see warm temperatures until October for us in California. Labor day is one of my favorite holidays, I mean not really but like they give us a day off from doing labor? So sign me up please. So for this blog post I put together some of my favorite swim trunk picks for Labor Day /last tail of Summer. Lets go shopping!
Living in sunny Southern California had me growing up skateboarding, biking, dirt bike riding, etc. Basically anything with wheels to be honest and I'd say I get a lot of my style inspiration from skateboard culture. Being from Long Beach also really adapted skate wear in to my personal style. That being said I love a basic graphic tee, especially when they have a small logo on the front and a bigger logo on the back. Graphic tees honestly never die in my book if you do them right. Stick close to the classics, more vintage style graphics and you'll be A-OK! Oh and of course I tucked this one in hehe. I linked some of my favorite Mens Graphic Tees down below.
Coffee first thing in the morning is a routine I can not skip. I sometimes crave my morning coffee so bad the night before that I literally just want to go to sleep so I can have it in the morning. Super weird and random but coffee is what gives me life. I recently was sent my very own Orenda Coffee Maker this past week and wow, this littler chic machine does it all. It can make any coffee you're craving like cold brew, french press, and even a pour over in minutes. I think my favorite Orenda feature is that you can control everything on the Orenda app. I simply set up on the user friendly app what time I want my coffee to be ready in the morning, for me that is 7 AM. I wake up and bam, my cold brew is sitting in the kitchen waiting for me. Also you know I need my aesthetic to be on point and this Orenda Coffee Maker is sleek and sexy. That right, I said it, its everything! If you want to check our the Orenda Coffee Maker click the link below and enjoy yourself an amazing brew.
Lately I have been all about bags, bags, and more bags. Either it be a backpack, messenger bag, or a small duffle, then I am pretty much in to it these days. I had the pleasure to be introduced to Hunting World this month and got to know a little about them and received a beautiful piece from their collection that you can find here on the Hunting World site. I paired this forest green small duffle with an all black fit, which is what I normally wear for my day to day. It's the perfect size, totally unisex, and the look and feel scream luxury. My Hunting World duffle is made out of Nylon Oxford laminate urethan foam, backed by nylon jersey original material "Batu Cross". It can withstand the outdoor harsh weather and gets better with age. A truly timeless piece you will have for years. Their collections that can fit any ones style and that's what I like the most about this brand. I am definitely going to be adding more Hunting World to my collection. They also have watches, belts, ties, and other leather goods. You can find everything HERE.
Spring is in full swing and Summer is right around the corner. I put together this look with Old Navy featuring this cute floral print and some of my go to skinny jeans. Old Navy is killin' in the mens department. The top I'm wearing is the Regular-Fit Built-In Flex Getaway Shirt, one of many that just pops and make me feel like a happy kid. Note the photos below where I can not stop smiling. The Old Navy Skinny Built-In Flex Jeans are the perfect fit. They're the perfect mix of a skinny jean but it fits so relaxed. Stop by Old Navy to grab yourself some new threads this Spring/Summer.
Summer is around the corner and I have found a new love for shorts. When guys think shorts, usually they think khakis or some type of chino material. But did you know theres a whole new world of shorts out there. Striped, paneled, denim washes, and even gingham, like the list just goes on and on. So for this blog post I am coming at you with Shorts For Summer 2018 For Men. Don;t be afraid to be bold this Summer and make your short game strong. I linked what I'm wearing and some of my favorites shorts down below.
