Oct 26, 2021
color is my favorite element of style, and i’ve always found midnight hues to be some of the most exciting tones to wear. in my opinion, there’s no better time than the fall to break them out, so i packed a few extra looks when we went upstate to celebrate the season at hand.

Jan 15, 2020
this year, i made a decision to change how i walk and work in the world. from the way i approach my projects to the thought i put into getting dressed, i want to get back to a phrase that i used to define my life by: live editorially. so when i got a first look at the new nike AAE line, the wheels in my head immediately started spinning.

May 20, 2019
a new season is the perfect excuse to stock up on some new kicks, and to be completely honest: my entire shoe game could use an update. with that said, when nike reached out about their new react element 55 collection, i was totally down to try out a pair.

Jan 5, 2019

Sep 6, 2017
while i was in vegas last month, i shot a special editorial in my hotel room, and between taking the styling in a new direction and @avsthtc's sweet camera skills, i think we brought the pieces (and the come-down after a wild weekend in LV) to life in an awesome way.
look 26: monday mood.
Aug 28, 2017
you know how it goes: the weekend comes to a close, the alarm clock goes off, monday returns to ruin our lives once more. this time around, i threw on a comfy combo of pieces and ventured off to start the day. here's how it all turned out.
look 25: chevron chaser.
Aug 24, 2017
this summer, i've been all about a good statement stripe: horizontal, vertical, (and strongest of all) chevron. i dug this bad boy out of my closet this morning and knew it'd be the perfect ingredient for today's outfit.
look 24: the beau next door.
Aug 23, 2017
it's been a minute, i know, but things in my world have finally slowed down a bit, so let's get back to our regularly scheduled programming. i pulled out a new statement-maker this morning and i've been waiting all day to share it with you guys.
look 23: playing with the color spectrum.
Jul 29, 2017

Jul 26, 2017

#nyfwm spotlight: you as ss18.
Jul 16, 2017
nyfw:m just wrapped up, and the ss18 collections are looking pretty good. my favorite style moment would have to be the retro vibes that were seeded into the shows—and the street style outside—throughout the event, and you as ss18 brought them to life perfectly.
look 21: suited for summer with bar iii.
Jun 29, 2017
i've really been into suits these past few months. solids, prints, patterns... they're all really amazing tools to have in your style arsenal. i recently teamed up with bar iii to show how to give your summer style a dapper touch, and i'd have to say that this outfit is my favorite from the campaign.

from bold button-downs to tough distressed denim, these fresh statement-makers from ASOS will help you add a little heat to your summer style.
look 19: hardware hero.
May 18, 2017

asos insider picks: may.
May 19, 2017
as i start thinking about my #summer17 style, my head's currently filled with visions of breezy button-downs, dope match sets, retro tops, and some sweet suits. with that said, these bad boys are some of favorite pieces on ASOS right now.
look 18: coney island king.

look 17: the makings of a statement piece.
May 10, 2017

look 16: the sunshine palette.

look 14: better late than never.

look 13: the layering game, simplified.

look 9: my snow day with ports 1961.
Jan 24, 2017
earlier this month, i teamed up with ports 1961 for their #followme campaign and the shots came out really well—largely due to an impromptu blizzard. needless to say, i didn't let a few snowflakes (well... a lot) get in the way.
look 8: kicking it with k-swiss.
Jan 21, 2017
i've found myself incorporating way more dapper elements into my looks than usual: suits, blazers, vests, all that good stuff. for this look, i kept it business casual at work with a sporty suited outfit featuring some fresh kicks from k-swiss.

look 3: the casual friday approach.
