"This has been a labor of love. Taking the pictures, editing the pictures, arranging the pictures, doing most of the writing while I was still in Phoenix after my Dad died. It's hard to put into words how one feels looking at their own work presented like this - so I won't even try." - Scott Schuman on the release of his book, "The Sartorialist"

The book comes out August 12th in the U.S and early September worldwide.

IRL: In Real Life Photo Shoot

IRL: In Real Life, if you could enter a store, Hayden- Harnett and try on anything YOU wanted, accessories included, what would you pick?

You're thinking, easy! Right?! Well... continue on.

Yesterday, I was able to partake in Hayden-Harnett's summer IRL series, where you are your own stylist! Enter the cute boutique studio/store in Brooklyn and pick out pieces you would love to wear. This, I thought would be a piece of cake, since I love to coordinate outfits, however it was not. The girls were very lovely and extremely helpful, I felt a little pressured into choosing THE PERFECT OUTFIT. Helloooo! as Bruno would say, the IRL is a part of their weekly newsletter and well I obviously wanted to look good.

I think the hardest part of choosing an outfit and styling myself was that I am a bit edgier than the collection. And so I had to try and 1) go against the flow of what I would normally wear 2) try to find something close to my style. This I found to be a little challenging.

I was torn between a few outfits and unsure of how many we can do for the photo shoot, I ended up going with this dress. Very versatile, flowing, easy, breezy look and extremely hot back. I'm sucker for open back/backless dresses! I accessorized with a trench coat, cute heels that could be a little taller and a gorgeous ring! I wish I had my necklace from 102M to complement the open neckline.
I picked the dress because it was one of those pieces that you can just roll out of bed and throw on knowing it will look good.

As I walked away from the photo shoot and am here writing about my experience, I am wishing I would've gone with my gut and chose a different outfit. Like this or a cute wrap dress that is not shown on the website. But what can you do, it's over and the newsletter is probably just about to get sent out. I had a lot of fun, great experience and extremely great idea!

Thank you Hayden-Harnett! You guys should do one for the fall!

*I just sent in my interview and am waiting for them to send out the newsletter. I will keep you all posted let you know how it turns out.

Cycle On This Way

This picture made me smile 1) because we toyed with the idea of renting bikes one day but was unsure how it all worked and 2) I've never seen anyone look this good on a bike. Wow.

I wish I took more pictures while in Paris of the locals there.

I saw another man, yesterday with violet loafers and I thought to myself, "Are those Violet loafers?" "Wow! He pulls them off better than I can."
