Carrot Top

Hi my loves!
I teamed up with photographer Ben Kulo (click) for this amazing shoot. 

I've been a huge fan of Shrimps since I was in high school. For their Fall/Winter 15 collection they showcased a pvc trench coat with a bright yellow fur collar and I thought to myself "I NEED TO GET MY HANDS ON ONE!" When I found this trench coat at a thrift store for $15, I immediately thought of this DIY project!  I attached my orange fur collar from Boohoo and wallahhh-- my own version of Shrimps' beautiful trench coat.

Winter Mood

After being at home for most of the week, my mom and I decided to head out into the cold weather and grab a very well needed hot coffee. Although we've barley had snow in NYC,  I am already over it and looking forward to Spring. I must admit though, there's something very peaceful and beautiful about a snowstorm as absurd as that sounds.

Monochromatically Red

Hi my loves! 

You all know how much I love mixing prints and monochromatic dressing. As easy as it may look, monochromatic dressing does require some thought so that you don't look boring. Unless you are wearing a co-ord in which both pieces are the same shade-- try to play with textures. For example, I decided to wear this knit turtle neck with satin pants. 

I decided to wear my silver sneakers because, well, I love the mix of color and also comfort has been super important to me lately.

Tortuga Rosa

I'm such a shoe boy, and winter gives me major boot fever. I say this for about everything I own but, when I saw these boots its was love at first sight. Navy blue is one of my favorite colors this season and it can be paired with pretty much anything. These boots are super comfortable and perfect for the winter days that await us. EVEN BETTER, Mandee is having a huge sale and they were only $14.00! I will be living this coat and boots this season. The weather is just too cold not to! 

Happy Holidays my loves!

FAUX FUR COLLAR

Hi loves! 
We are in December but the weather has been playing with us! Lately it's been kind've warm but slowly but surely the temperature has been dropping. The winter season is the perfect time of year to wear faux fur. With so many options and a wide variety of styles, faux fur can be dressed up for a night out and dressed down. 
I wore this outfit yesterday to hang out with my two friends Adalgisa and Shannel. I put this outfit together really quickly because Ada was waiting for me. I love the simple beige coat with the faux fur collar, it just finishes the look and adds that POP that I love.

Thankful

Hi my loves!
I cannot believe it's been a month since I last blogged. I have been super busy lately and also my computer is kind've messed up so it makes it a little difficult to post. 

As you all know today is thanksgiving and I have so much to be thankful for. I am amazed at how blessed I am. Now, I may not be exactly where I want to be but I am sure on my way and I truly believe that timing is everything. Sometimes we get so caught up in where we want to be and the "what ifs" that we don't stop and cherish the now, this moment. 

I leave you guys with this: Appreciate your journey and remember that where you are right now is exactly where you need to be. Growth take time.

4 Year Anniversary

When I was 16 I decided to start my own fashion blog. I always had a passion for fashion but I didn't feel like I was taking it anywhere so I decided "Hey! Why not start a blog." And here I am 4 years later.
My blog may not be well-known or commercial and that's fine with me. That does not determine my success. What does is when someone says "Roger, I saw you wear that and you inspired me to go out and get it." or when someone says "You inspired me to try something new, thank you!" My blog is a place for anyone and everyone to feel inspired. So, thank you to all my friends and family who one way or another have been a part of my blog. And a HUGE thank you to my readers! I love you all.

HOOD FAMOUS

Hi my loves!
I love when I am able to dress up a pair of sweatpants. I paired my sweatpants with the sweater from my previous post that I told all I would be living in. I completed the look with my clear booties which in my opinion, dress the look up.

Active Casual wear

Hi my loves!
It's officially Fall and I am loving it! Ya'll know this is my favorite season. Today I pulled out my Adidas to hang out with some friends in the neighborhood. I want to start incorporating more sneakers into my wardrobe and when I saw these babies, it was love at first sight. I paired these with my American Apparel harem pants and an oatmeal colored pullover which is perfect for the season. I feel like i'll be living in this, I have it in 2 colors and plan on getting more!

NYFW: CARLEEN SS17

Hi my loves! 

I am kicking off fashion week with the CARLEEN Spring/Summer 17' presentation. The theme of this collection is patchwork meets poolside. While looking at this collection, the delicate hues of blue stood out to me as well as the intricate quilting patterns, giving me a very nostalgic feeling of afternoons in the Dominican Republic by my aunt's pool.

Independent Soul

Hi my loves!

I have been trying to blog more often but it is super hard as I have been extremely busy lately. 

I absolutely love this look. This is a look I wore to visit family members. It's very comfortable and relaxed. 

For this look I used a skirt as a head wrap. Hahaha, talk about resourceful. This skirt is super long and wide which means you can create an unlimited number of styles.

Reality Check

Hello my loves!
I am back in New York from my getaway to Dominican Republic and to be honest, I didn't want to come back. I mentioned a few blog posts ago that when I travel back home I come back a new version of myself. Visiting puts things into perspective. I had a reality check while I was there. Sometimes we put our dreams aside because we get distracted in our daily life. In my case, I had been putting my career as a Wardrobe Stylist to the side because I was caught up in everything else. I realized I needed to do what makes ME happy, even if that means taking a risk. 

I'm truly obsessed with these culottes from Olly Oxen Free Vintage, not only are they chic but they go with pretty much anything. I took them with me all over my trip, hahaha! I even wore these on my birthday.
