Welcome

I've been asked by a bunch of my friends on numerous occasions about fashion. What's cool, what's not? How can certain things be worn and "do I look wack?" I figure, why not just write about my opinions and put my thoughts out there.

I'm a huge fan of fashion and where I don't consider myself a fashionista or anything, I do know more about it then most people. And I know more because I simply pay attention to what looks good and what doesn't. I read a number of Blogs that talk about style and have an admitted man crush on Tom Ford.

I’m an account manager at an interactive ad agency in Dallas, Texas where I also grew up. So far I’ve spent the majority of professional career in New York City and only recently relocated back to Big D. NYC really opened my eyes to fashion/style and how things truly can become a reality if you just stick to your guns and follow your own path. We’ll get more into that in future posts.

I’m a normal dude. I’m under 30 and don’t make a million dollars a year. I was a college athlete so I’m built pretty well. And by “built pretty well” I mean I can’t fit (sadly) into many European designers like Paul Smith and Etro. My shoulders are too big and my chest sticks out too far, just like many of my friends and clearly a lot of other Americans.

I drink beer, love watching sports and eating chicken wings... I've been chauffeured in the back of a Maybach by the Ritz Carlton's personal driver in NYC. I've eaten at the nicest and best restaurants all over this country and yes, I've had the $55 truffle Mac n' Cheese at the Waverly Inn. I’m not “fancy” but I appreciate the finer things. I hope my posts bring insight and ideas to the everyman that shares my station in life. That’s all I can say. I’m not a professional style guru, I didn’t go to school for this. It’s just my opinion and love of style that people seem to appreciate and I hope you appreciate it as well. Maybe you’ll even learn something.
