Hem and Haul: Arden Reed Custom Suit Piece I Wrote for Edge on the Net

Hey guys, check out my latest fashion feature for Edge on the Net. I wrote this profile of mobile custom suit makers, Arden Reed, which features a 3-d body scan and quick 15 minute single consultation all in the back of a truck. I interviewed the co-founder to see what his inspiration was and what's next for this exciting New York menswear brand

My Hudson Made Workwear Piece is LIVE

Part of my crazy busy of late is a new company I've started writing for, Hudson Made. Hudson Valley, New York based purveyors of rustic and artisinal items for men, home and life. 

This company sources great pieces locally and offers up a whole lifestyle built on the story of each piece. I had the good fortune to write my first article for them (which they loved!) about the history of workwear and its rightful place in modern fashion. 


Definitely give it a look-see

If You're Heading to the Beach This Weekend

Make sure you do some extra squats first, fellas, as the silhouette for men's swimwear has creeped up faster than the US economy, that's for sure

Funny, I just happened to write up a trend piece on this very topic for the new and improved 
Viral Fashion

Doin' It: Last Night's Viral Fashion Relaunch Party

I write for an online fashion magazine, Viral Fashion (in case ya' didn't know) and last night Mr Taurus put on our Summer best and attended the relaunch party (new fancy website: check it) at Soho gallery, Yellow Korner

(As the menswear editor, you know I had to kill it in a vintage Madonna "Who's That Girl?" concert t-shirt, suspenders, paper bag waist pants and my fave carpet bag) 
















(Mr Taurus was Summer fashion diva ready in his mesh jersey tank and cutoffs with a vintage luggage bag. Cutie.) 

Comeback Week: Don't I Look Cute Todays!

More than any other posts on "It Can't All Be Dior", people get the freakout on for the selfies. Well you asked, I listened: more #OutfitOfTheDay pics coming 

Like this look from last Thursday nite's Kiehl's party 

(Man, I did NOT find my light. Luckily I stocked up on eye cream!) 

(Anchor print Joe Fresh shirt and Nancy Sinatra as my celeb officiant for my dream wedding, as seen on Racked.com) 

Or this Michael Bastian X Uniqlo retro style polo that's my new LinkedIn profile pic from last week too 

(OOh, LinkIn with me! ) 

Or this picnic in the park and dang it hot vintage polo and fave JCPenney jeans combo 

Be on the lookout for pics of me in vintage and fully eye-creamed! 

Pajama Party

While I wait back to hear from the HUGE pitch, check out my latest menswear piece for VIRAL Fashion on the menswear pajamas as luxurious day wear trend. 

Features quotes from Hugh Hefner!

I'm Workin' It Out!

Sorry for being so absentee around here this week, but I'm in Toronto covering "Toronto is Fashion" event for EDGE on the Net and loving every moment of it! #TorontoStyle 

Umm... This Be Good: Carven et Zespa Floral Brogues

There's an upcoming work trip where I've decided I'm going full "Editor Drag". My color scheme for said polish is white, black, brown and blue. 

I have many items already in my wardrobe and a few others on my radar to pick up. 

Perhaps these nerd chic for Spring Carven et Zespa floral brogues

 need be part of said shopping list

Plus they'd be the perfect Easter shoe too. 

Which reminds me, I'm off for Easter break, kids. 

Enjoy all them jelly beans and Cadbury mini eggs!
