Fashion Returns to Houston with a Bang!
It's been awhile since Houston has had a full blown fashion week. With the absence of Fashion Houston and only little pop-up events here and there, the city seemed to be warding off any attraction on capitalizing on the art and fashion industry. That all ended this past week when Matt and Kara Swinney of Fashion X launched the first ever FashionX Houston...
The Rise of Texas Couture
When you first think of Texas, a few words come to mind: horses, cowboys, oil, Beyoncé...? But when it comes to fashion, it's a missed topic that few pay attention to in the Lone Star State. However, that has not been the case lately with the efforts to Matt Swinney and his team at Fashion X....
A Glimpse Inside the Gucci x Gucci Ghost Launch at NYFW in NYC
Normally, you have to be a fashion journalist, a celebrity, or a major client to get into these types of events. However, someone at Gucci showed my blog and Instagram to Gucci's North American corporate headquarters, and they wanted to show their appreciation for my work and my loyalty to the brand. Along with the invitation, I was notified that I'd be getting the VIP treatment, with Gucci generously paying all travel and lodging expenses. I was also told I would get to meet Trevor "Trouble" Andrew, the brain behind Gucci Ghost, one of the hottest fashion collaborations of the year....

Gucci's latest offering can be considered the first that Michele has built from the ground up...
Still looking to get your Dad something? Look no more!
Father's Day is just looming around the corner (June 19th to be exact...) and I know many of us have yet to find that perfect gift. Now we could spring for a yacht, passes to some super exclusive golf club, an exotic trip...but let's be real here. And practical...
Ok, so picture this. You've got minutes until you have to leave, you suddenly find your favorite dress shirt, button it up, and think everything's ok...but then...wait no. There's some wrinkles, it hasn't been to the cleaners, and...then...a f*cked up collar! The horror. You quickly try to scramble and find the stock paper one's that came with the shirt pre-packaged but to no avail. So what do you need?
Another one for the books!

Celebrating Men's Fashion in Houston
Every year around Spring, Houston Magazine puts on one of the most coveted events honoring men's fashion within the city. As an attendee for the past 4 years- this event is like the Super Bowl for mens fashion. It's one of the few times where the most dapper and most influential figures of fashion...
Exploring Men's 90's grunge style for Spring/Summer 2016
For this editorial, I wanted to explore this concept, from the point of an early 90's grunge style, west coast influences, and modern nomads to create a free spirited, indie vibe for Spring 2016.
DIEGO AND DORA DO SXSW
This year’s festival/conference/party tech fest did not disappoint as one of Austin’s premier events started off with a plethora of tech filled panels and surprise musical performances during the first few days of Interactive.
