My Way Or . . . - Adam Senn & Dmitriy Tanner by Jack Waterlot

I think sometimes people tend to think of me a certain way because of my profession, how I grew up, my education or how I dress. May that be in a negative or positive light. Most of the time I just shrug it off but sometimes a little tongue lashing is needed. Sometimes. I love proving people wrong and show them who's boss. Sure, I know I'm not the most good looking guy nor am I the smartest tool in the shed but I know what my mama gave me and I know how to use it. Call that confidence or aloof your choice. I call 'em advantages.

Bottom line, I make people see my way. More or less. (wink wink nudge nudge).

Happy Hump Day my fashionistos and fashionistas!

In today's editorial post we have top models, Adam Senn and Dmitriy Tanner as photographed by Jack Waterlot for the newest issue of Apollo Novo. Stylist, Andrew Holden puts together eclectic looks featuring  Fall/Winter pieces by Michael Bastian, Dries Van Noten, Michael Kors and Alexander McQueen to name a few.

Socially Challenged - Eric Ramos & Nadav Heyman by Lacey

There's this "thing" that everybody should follow but most people do not. Social etiquette. Of course, I don't really expect everybody to be proper and all but I expect everybody to catch on social queues. I mean it's not that hard. A little bit of social skills and a dash of common sense. Viola! You are set. but I guess sometimes, even that is like reaching for the stars. I know, I know a perfect utopia is not San Francisco. I just have to tilt my head to the side and smile. Just smile.

Happy weekend my fashionistos and fashionistas.

We close off the week with a gravity defying editorial that appears on the September issue of Details magazine. The editorial features Eric Ramos and Nadav Heyman as photographed by Lacey. Eugene Tong styles the boys in cool, colored suitings by Dries Van Noten, Perry Ellis by Duckie Brown, Lanvin, and Prada to name a few.

Take The Plunge - Brian Shimansky by Sergi Pons

Sometimes I feel like it's hard for me to talk about things that bothers me with my so-called friends but yet I find myself writing it out here, freely. Is it the anonymity? Perhaps or maybe it is the fact that I know I wont get a response or a rather biased perspective since I do like solving my own problems. I don't want to blame anybody for some idiotic suggestion WHICH makes me a much bigger idiot since I listened to it. 

The biggest issue for the recent past is taking the plunge. Think it but don't dwell on it. Following my heart but not leaving my head. Well, Some huge changes are coming. It is time to close my eyes and take a leap of faith. Trust and Love.

We open the week with an editorial that appears on the Spanish magazine, El Pais Semanal. American model Brian Shimansky takes the plunge as captured by the talented Sergi Pons. Alberto Murtra styles Brian in  pieces by Pringle of Scotland, Gant, Emporio Armani and Louis Vuitton. Inguna Butane joins Shimansky in this playful editorial.

Wake Me Up - Garrett Neff by Mitchell Nguyen McCormack

Last week felt intense for me. I was emotionally and physically tired from a busy work week and a stressful transition with one of my good friends. Sometimes I try to pull away from "Drama" since I don't like getting involved but if someone asked for support, of course, I'll be there for them. I felt bad ultimately but sometimes we wont realize how lost we have been till we were deep in the woods. 

Speaking of woods, I went to my first "roughing it" camping trip over the weekend up north in Humboldt Redwoods National Park. The last time I did the outdoors I ended up staying at a Bed and Breakfast. Don't get me wrong I love hiking but not the sleeping on the ground part. But honestly, it wasn't that bad. Minus a few awkward moments it was such a great weekend among friends. 

Today's editorial cover story appeared on the newest issue of Da Man magazine. It featured top male model Garrett Neff as photographed by Mitchell Nguyen McCormack. Joseph Turla had put together great fall pieces by luxury brands like Dsquared2, Tom Ford, Neil Barrett, and Christian Louboutin.

Labor day weekend, marks the last trickling days of summer in the US. Eventhough that Summer in San Francisco is just about to start. I mean I can always go abroad . . . somewhere and enjoy their gorgeous tropical weather for them. Say, Rio de Janeiro? 

It's official I'm foregoing New York Fashion Week this season. I know I cried too. It will be the first time in two years! It's almost unnerving. Secretly, I might go because I really can't stay away from New York for too long. We'll see.

On other news, since one of my friends, instead of getting married, had called their relationship quits, frees up a chunk of my November, not counting my anniversary. So while out last night, some of my friends decided to fly down to Palm Springs in November. It's been a hot minute since I've been there.

Wow last day of August and into the -ber months. Alright, happy weekend my fashionistos and fashionistas. Enjoy it! I know I will.

In today's post, we have Lucas Garcez as he grazes the pages of the September issue of August Man. Skye Tan captures the handsome Garcez with this luxe villa along the coast as a backdrop.

That concludes Summertime and what do they say? You can't wear white pants after Labor Day? Was that rule even real? I still have an outfit planned to wear for an event that requires me to wear white pants. Regardless, It was a great long weekend. But I was wishing it was longer like always.

As I mentioned before, I'm foregoing NYFW this season. I know really sad. First time in years! I purposely didn't check my blogging email over the weekend for the fact that it hurts to actually send my reply to the invites. It doesn't mean that I wont be busy this following week though. Who has time to sleep and rest on their laurels these days? Exactly, Nobody.

Sometimes I wish that I could clone myself so he could do the not-so-fun part of my life. I mean it would be an easy job for him, realistically. Because I do LOVE my life. I would probably have him listen to other people's problems though because I'm tired of hearing it. That's why I suggest everybody should get their own therapist, eventhough, in reality you probably don't need one. Everybody got problems too. Handle it.

Well the good news, we're already half way there. Happy Hump Day my fashionistos and fashionistas.

In today's post we have an editorial piece that appeared on the F*cking Young! Online featuring Wilhelmina talents, Eric Weiss and Brad Alfonso. Photographed by Camilo Rios and styled by Juan Villalba with pieces from Maison Margiela, Saint Laurent and of course my holy grail, Givenchy.

Gone With The Wind Fabulous - Benjamin Eidem by Sara Bille

I would like to begin this post by saying, We will never forget, 9/11.

As New York Fashion Week comes to a close, I still feel a little dejected and somewhat left out that I didn't attend this season. It was hard for me to check any of my social media outlets without feeling a pang of jealousy for those people that went to the shows and the after parties. OH, the fun-FUN-FUN after parties! To make matter worse, for some reason, all the delinquents that come up to my neighborhood tends to gravitate to my car when they need to steal something. Yep, my car got broken into . . . again. I mean they didn't get anything that valuable besides a few coins (including my car's coin tray, I mean why?! I don't know they didn't have a bag?), and some random car parts replacement. Clearly they weren't that smart because my vintage fur hat (not a trapper but a brim hat) was also in the trunk and they didn't take it. Go figure.

But atleast the Bubs decided to come to my side of the world before heading to a Los Angeles gig later on the week. God knows, how I missed spending quality time with the Bubs on the flesh. I needed some cheering up after the debacle that was last week.

I got to keep positive and not stress out about everything. Roll with the punches as they say. Oh well, Happy Hump Day, my dear fashionistos and fashionistas!

Dapper as one could be, I'm featuring an editorial that appeared on the newest issue of swedish publication, King Magazine. The super suave editorial featured top model Benjamin Eidem as photographed by Sara Bille. Iris Hjelmstedt styled the Eidem in great black tuxedos and lush dinner jackets rounded but a very regal backdrop. Pour me a glass of scotch, old sport. A perfect Gentleman.

How does one end a perfectly busy fashion week WITHOUT being in New York? Dance till the 5 AM? Yes. The only down side was that the Bubs was in LA already. So there were times through the night where a song would play and sorta be like "OH you remember this song from Rio?!" but the Bubs wasn't there. I mean I love my friends but sometimes I could only take so much of longing. Especially harder since the Bubs was just here with me this week. Hashtag my life sucks without you hashtag going emo. But hey all I could do was let it roll over my shoulders besides I'm in the company of friends. But a boy could wish for more, couldn't he?

Well I'm off to get some needed brunch with friends. Social's life 24/7.

Happy Weekend my fashionistos and fashionistas! Make it count!

We close of the week with an editorial for Fashionisto Online featuring America's Next Top Model contender, Chris Hernandez. The project was shot by Tony Veloz and styled by Kennard Jackson featuring fast fashion pieces by Zara, Topman, and H&M. This boy has so much potential, these were pretty stunning photos.

You go Chris H.

Sometimes I find myself having second thoughts about things I thought I was so sure of. A big part of it is because I still have a lot of things on my "to do" list before I settle down. I feel like I'm always in a race against time. I guess that's one thing that I don't share with other twenty somethings who think that they have all the time in the world. To me I feel like 24 hours a day is not enough to do everything and what's this? It's already September! In two months it will be my year anniversary! Time is flying by. 

I know people and things but mostly people wont wait for me but sometimes I have this I love you but I love me more complex. Call it a defense mechanism from things I learned from my young life. Then again, a few of the biggest things on my list happened because of being with the Bubs. So really it's alway a mix bag  of chocolates which is what life is. A mix bag, mine just happens to have brand name chocolates versus the generic ones. 

Happy Hump Day my fashionistos and fashionistas

In today's post we have top models, Noah Mills and RJ Rogenski that appears on the new issue of Details Magazine. Milan Vukmiriovic captures the boys outdoors in comfy sweater looks styled by Matthew Marden. Even though it's slightly cooler these days, not quite sweater weather yet . . . well not in my part of town, gotta love SF's micro-climates.

I'm having the worst luck with my car right now. So after a great weekend, I was on my way to work yesterday and in such a good mood for a Monday too. I got in my car and turned on the engine. Not turning over. It felt like I was in a horror movie. The Battery? Nope . . . well that was about the only thing I know about cars. Ask me about fashion, and I might know the answer but cars? I'm clueless. So I thought to take a cab or Lyft or use Uber (as the Bubs suggested). We shall see how this pans out. Realistically, it's not that bad as long as BART runs to and fro. I would hate to take the bus.

Well, hopefully your week would go better than mine my fashionistos and fashionistas!

In today's post, we have an editorial that appeared on the debut issue of Men's Uno International. It featured top model, Clement Chabernaud as Leon: The Professional.

The Greatest Thing You'll Ever Learn - Clement Chabernaud by Jeff Burton

I think there were times in our lives that we forget what's truly important in life. My Hermes Birkin. Love, because there would be nothing stronger of a bond than it. May it be from a significant other, a friend or family. My Father once told me sometime ago that I should find somebody and settle down because it would be a hard life growing old alone. I was barely out of college and enjoying my bachelor's life. I could have cared less about love because I had my money, my fabulous people around me and my amazing life. The biggest conundrum of being born from the Society.

Now that I'm a little bit older and maybe a little wiser I see that there was some truth to what he said. Keep the friends that you truly treasure close, the family that supported me from the beginning and cherish this person that would love me for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health until death do us part.

I was glad that I waited.

Happy Weekend my fashionistos and fashionistas!

I guess it was Clement Chabernaud week this week. Again, the top male model grazed the pages of Vogue Hommes International as photographed by Jeff Burton. This slightly haunting editorial was styled by Anastasia Barbieri with pieces by Tom Ford, Hermes, Lanvin, Gucci and Valentino to name a few. I absolutely love how some of the images were grainy. Such a beautiful editorial story.

I think that sometimes we find ourselves at a point where our path takes us to a fork on the road. I think to ere is to be human. We are not perfect, eventhough we would like to think that we are. I think that living apart from the Bubs makes it harder really. Sometimes I struggle to remember why am I in this situation. Living apart from the one you love is taxing. Temptation is just too strong at times.

Then I remember laughing at Copacabana beach in Rio at 2am. Losing myself at this person's eyes as the ocean breaks by our feet. Then I remember why, I can't imagine living without this crazy person in my life. No man nor woman can change that.

If that's not love then I don't know what love is.

Love. Respect. Loyalty.

Hashtag Life Lessons B*tch.

Today we have editorial that appears on the September issue of Wonderland. It features models Daniel Roberts, Josh Bartley and Marti Medina as photographed by Jeff Hahn and styled by Matthew Josephs.

After a stretch of California weather for the last couple of days, tonight, it seems like Fall is upon us San Franciscans. So should start cycling out my Spring/Summer clothes for coats and sweaters? Probably not. What kind of San Franciscan would I be if I didn't know that it cools down at night?Which is also probably why I feel like I'm missing New York these days. I need seasons in my life.

As much as I love the warm weather that we've been getting here in Northern California. Hello, people wearing less clothes! I need the cooler weather, and the colors of fall more specifically. I need a reason to wear my $1,000 Juun J. neoprene sweater, for Pete's sake! I'm only half kidding.

A few projects coming up at work, some planned trips too and spending my free time at the gym, watching movies(I partially saw Gravity) and driving in cars with boys. It is safe to say that my week is going by just fine.

Well, Happy Hump Day my fashionistos and fashionistas!

Who knew how stressful wedding planning could be, I mean it was affecting every part of my life. I just started last week to be honest. Now I know why my sister was so on edge when she got married. I could hire a wedding planner but my type A personality would probably get me so hands on that I would do everything anyway. Le sigh. AND what's up with Mom-in-laws wanting to plan things themselves. I know they would be more familiar with the area but after all, This would be my wedding ceremony. I love her but relax!

On other news, since I "technically" married a Canadian I should have been celebrating Thanksgiving yesterday, October 14th. Weird. I mean as if people were still celebrating Columbus Day or anything anyway.

Hope everybody's week is going well.

In today's editorial we have Elite Models Milano talent, Janis Ancens as he appeared on the pages of Numero Homme. The project was shot by Jacob Sutton and styled by Jean Michel Clerc.

That's what we really have, all we have is this moment. Sometimes we have to make decisions that would probably be healthy for all the party concerned. I think above all else, my legal significant other, my life and my happiness comes above all. I'm willing to burn bridges if I have to. I can be compulsive but I'm also logical. I do think everything through. That's why I like solving dilemmas that comes my way by myself. The only opinion I trust, is my own. Like I said besides my immediate family, everybody else is replaceable. hashtag tough skin. I think that a time apart would be good, indeed.

The problem with growing up in society, I learn to be made of plastic. I will endure as much as I can till I reach a breaking point. Things said is said and we can't really take it back. We can not push rewind.

Cie la vie.

We close the weekend with this beautiful editorial that appears on the newest issue of L'Officiel Hommes Thailand. It casts an army of male super models including Aaron Vernon, Alexandre Cunha, Leebo Freeman, Harry Curran, Nick Warkus, Ton Heukels, Harry Goodwins, Justus Ensfeld, Lukas Katinas, Nicolas Hagius, Nicolai Otta, Lucas Ziegele, Paul Boche, Demy Matzen, Malcolm de Ruiter, Ryan Barrett, Luca Jamel, Marcel Nestler, Andre Bona, Ian Sharp, Norman Theuekorn, and Lex Olsen. The story is shot by Livia Alcalde and styled by Pablo Patane with military inspired pieces by Giorgio Armani, Calvin Klein, Dolce & Gabbana, Tom Reek, and Maison Martin Margiela to name a few. I've always said give me something militaristic and I love it.

Halloween week is here! So how many costumes do you have? I honestly don't remember the last time that I actually wore a costume from the halloween store. I tend to take a more sophisticated approach to Halloween. First, those costumes look cheap. Second, it's always mortifying seeing the same costume on someone else and Third,where's the creativity on that? This year I'm all about masks. I wore a veil adorned by a butterfly over my mouth inspired by the movie poster Silence of The Lambs and the couture show by Giambattista Valli from last Friday's Halloween party and I have in my hands a Maison Martin Margiela  mask. I don't know if I'll be wearing it to one of the parties on Thursday. We shall see.

Halloween will not be the only thing I'm looking forward this week. Somebody is coming to visit me at the end of week. I'm pretty excited about that but not the in-laws part. I'm just kidding, I think.

We open the week with a cover story for the upcoming issue of DSection magazine. The editorial is shot by the great Mariano Vivanco and styled by Paolo Zagoreo with pieces by my favorite designer, Ricardo Tisci for Givenchy.

If I can convince time to slow up and give me time to grow up. . .

There are times in our lives where it would be nice to start over. Slow things a bit, enjoy things as they are before it either passed or moved to the next level. I know a little melodramatic but now that I'm in this position in my life where I feel like "where did yesterday go?" Anxiety is not anybody's friend. I'm not regretting anything but it would nice to slow things down a bit. If one thing I will get out of this, is to love again. Coming from a generation where we see our future started yesterday and we're already late. I might be standing alone.

Sometimes when you think things won't get any better, it does. I mean I could ask for more things and I mean fashion things but what's important in my life is within my reach right now. My family, my friends, and my one and only. I think sometimes we hear a fresh perspective about a situation and you look at things in a different light. I love, absolutely love the feeling that I'm feeling right now. I think with each day, everything gets clearer.

It doesn't mean that I will get everything. Sacrifices have to be made.  But it is one step closer.

and to open the week I would like to share this nugget of wisdom that someone shared to me over the weekend.

"Marriage isn't for you. You don't marry to make yourself happy, you marry to make someone else happy. More than that, your marriage isn't for yourself, you're marrying for a family. Not just for the in-laws and all of that nonsense, but for your future children. Who do you want to help you raise them? Who do you want to influence them? Marriage isn't for you. It's not about you. Marriage is about the person you married."

We open the week with a cover story from Vogue Hombre's latest issue. It features Wouter Peelen as shot by Dean Isidro. The editorial is styled by Christopher Cambell with pieces by Dries Van Noten, Louis Vuitton, Jil Sander, N. Hoolywood, and Tom Ford to name a few.

The hardest thing that one could try to understand would be the amount of influence that your friends have over you. I would like to say that I'm an individual. In more ways than one, I am. But then these little moments of open heart talks made me feel like, "this is why we are friends." Lovers come and go, but friends will always be there for you. 

The week went by pretty quick for me albeit a slight snag when I got back to work on Tuesday after a five-day weekend. It was great to see the Bubs eventhough the in-laws were in tow. Okay, honestly they weren't that bad. I just had to endure a day doing touristy things.

Well the weekend is here.

We close the week with an editorial that appeared on the latest issue of GQ China Style. The sporty fashion story featured models, Matt Woodhouse, Edward Wilding, Tyler Maher & Pietro and photographed by Thomas Cooksey. The editorial featured fall/winter fashions from Givenchy, Versace, Emporio Armani and Neil Barrett to name a few. The boys were styled by Luke Day. 

This would just me being hyper critical and being a hockey player myself. The thing I don't get was why they have football paddings and helmets on an ice rink?

Over the weekend, the Bubs and I had an opportunity to play house. My housemates were not home during our anniversary weekend. Not planned but I wasn't complaining. Great music, two bottles of Veuve Clicquot, a crackling fireplace and one Hollywood screen kiss while "The Way You Look Tonight" plays on the background. Perfection.

Hopefully, everybody had an amazing weekend as I did.

Note to self: My tub barely holds two people without making a big wet mess.

The fashion story was shot by Chiun-Kai Shih and styled by Giorgio Ammirabile. The shoot featured fashions by Lacoste, Carlo Pignatelli, Marni and Byblos to name a few.
