It is great when everything you own is functional, new, crisp and you feel like it is all a nice package.  Let’s be honest though, how long does that last?  Two third’s of a summer and I can say the surf of California enveloped my sunglasses, the pulsing of pedals (and the need to change the beat) claimed my 4s, and tumultuous border travels laid waste to textured leather.  
It’s fine. I still have me, and it’s pretty dam hard to lose or break that.

Style is a quirky thing, and it is most admired when you least suspect it.  Yes, when we go to banquets and posh parties everyone is dolled up, but it is that day in between seasons you take notice of the minutia of an outfit otherwise overlooked.   Laying on the bed in your room the outfit feels like a risk, a possible disatser, or just not in your comfort zone. Take notice, take charge and wear how you feel today.

She reached back and asked for a hair band.  I could not find it, and I did not care to. Chicago lent it self to many things, but mainly black and white.  I arrived to the windy city in a blanket of snow. The cab took 45 mins, the coffee shop was too friendly, and the drinks were too large a pour.  I did not complain once.  I smiled and said a diet pop please.

Oscar de la Renta Fall Preview

jamesnord:

I had the privilege of shooting Oscar de la Renta’s fall preview yesterday and as always it was 15 minutes of movement, color and a bit of fantasy. The clothes seem at once unobtainable but also completely wearable, which I think is perfect. 

He can write, click, and do much more than just critique #menswear.

I’ll be at the Ace Hotel tonight with James Nord for a launch party. VIP, style influencers and many drinks to help keep the conversations flowing. Enjoy your day.

There as well.  Mr Hughes and Nord can teach a few men how to dress.
