StyleLikeU Pre-Fashion Week Party

StyleLikeU is one of the premier style blogs in existence today and I expect that this is mainly because of their unique and intimate portrayals of some of the nations most stylish citizens. They've got  fans anxiously waiting for the each new style feature as each one seems to be a bit more fantastic than the last. 

This past Wednesday they hosted an extremely Posh pre-fashion week party at STAY on East Houston and it would be an understatement to say that it was just "fun". It was a phenomenal success! The guests were impeccable and the DJ kept us dancing well into the morning.

Yes the night was Indeed grand! It was a photographers paradise and I had a field day in there capturing each stylish passerby in between dances with Terry. I felt  rather dapper and at home in the sea of style gurus that surrounded me. I sported  my new navy blue blazer (courtesy of my good friend, Kia from Pretty in Penury) along with a red button up ( probably the loudest shirt I own) and a beaded blue handmade necklace. They loved the necklace which I guess was a pretty dope alternative to the traditional bow tie. 

Point for Dex! lol

Again I can't stress how much of a great time I had (which is pretty  monumental because I'm hardly the party type).

Winter Heat

It's the first day of February and I can remember just less than a month ago, shooting our latest feature for SirReal Style on what felt like the coldest day of winter we'd had.  But maybe a month before that, I photographed a nude model on a rooftop in Brooklyn and she didn't even have goosebumps.  Well guess what.  It was 62 degrees out today, the sun was shining again, and I didn't even have to wear a coat.

Although the drastic fluctuations in the climate in what's supposed to be winter season do worry me, I was more than happy to show off the new colorful shirt and simple Dickies suspenders I picked up from the good will in Jersey.  'Twas a beautiful day.  Winter time and the living is easy.  Still can't fully get used to that idea.  I'm still anxiously awaiting the summer provided everything isn't completely topsy-turvy.  Hopefully it won't be an ice age.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with indulging whole heartedly into the occasional trend. Today we spotlight the beloved and oh so versatile Leather Boot.In this past year we've all seen the leather boot become the Top pick, most trendy and in demand of all the shoe styles in fashion. Be it classic distressed leather Combat or polished patent leather Doc Martin , everyone has got theirs and in a few different colors and styles. The Vintage gently worn or distressed look is the most popular amongst the vast majority of urbanites and those style gurus wishing to achieve that urban edge made popular by the starving artists and grunge population of downtown New York.

The Leather boot though mainly worn in the cold weather months of the fall and winter were seamlessly and  surprisingly worked into spring and summer collections last year nation wide creating a fantastically androgynous style outbreak. Floral dresses and Leather boots,Brighter colors and lighter leathers, it was great and the androgyny lingers into the New Year. Check out these ladies in their distressed leather and oversized everything! Fur and wool coats, exaggerated scarves and leather bags.
