Grooming Guide 2016

Originally motivated by Movember, I ended up keeping my beard once the month was over. During that time I learned how to take care of it. The arsenal that's been helping me maintain my beard, smile and skin healthy throughout the season include some well known names and some newcomers that are worth your consideration.

1-Kiehl's Age Defender Power Serum: There comes a time in every man's life that you have to admit that you are getting older. This anti-aging serum is light weight and not greasy. My skin feels refreshed as soon as I apply it.

2-Braun Series 9: A beard is great but keep it clean around the neck. This shaver will do just that and its such a close shave you'll be pleased every time.

3-Colgate Optic White: I've been using it for a few months now and noticed how much whiter my teeth are. Follow the instructions and you'll see a brighter smile!

4-Lab Series Instant Eye Lift: Not sure about you but sometimes my brain can't stop thinking when it's time to go to bed. Enter Lab Series's Instant Eye Lift for us insomniacs. 

5-Phillips Norelco Multigroom: This is the most essential tool you should have if you have a beard. With the easy to use attachments you'll feel empowered to take care of your beard.

6-Baxter Shave Tonic: As you're taking care of your beard don't forget skin maintenance. This tonic will help open pores and lift hair pre-shave. Post-shave it will help close pores and it will have you smelling minty fresh.

7- Redbeard Brand's Beer'd Conditioner: It has been a life saver during these harsh wintery days. I apply it to my beard and it's helped avoid dry skin and I'm a fan of the eucalyptus scent.

Frenchies and the Upper East Side

On a perfect spring afternoon in NYC I met up with a couple of new friends, Louie and Oliver, for a stroll on the Upper East Side. We admired the tulips in the middle of Park Avenue then hung out on a stoop and had a grand ol' time.

Say hi, Louie!

Right this way.

NYFW- Look 2

You might remember this Denim & Supply cardigan from a few months ago, here. As you can see I love this cardigan and thought it would work great on that cold brisk morning at the Public School NYC show. I took the look a step further from the conservative way I wore it last time adding on some key accessories like this amazing hat from QP Collections and frames from ic! berlin.

Men's Gift Guide: 2015

Time is ticking! Stores have extended their hours and the brisk cold air is reminding us that it's that time of year once again. With Christmas right around the corner here are a few gifts that won't require you to remember his size! I've gathered a few of my favorite things right now.

Noah Marion wallet- As a proud owner of one of his wallets I can tell you Noah Marion wallets are a goo buy and they weather so nicely. Check out the site for more option.

QP Collections dopp kit and tie- Known for their ties QP Collections has entered some new territory and they are doing some great things. Their dopp kit has that bit of rugged-luxury they will love. I also included their tie mainly because of the name, Crime Scene- get it?!? Get it.

Polo Ralph Lauren beanie- You know you'll find something at Polo. I found this comfy beanie...and it's on sale!

Salormade bracelet- I've been a fan of sailormade for some time now. This braided leather bracelet is a no-brainer.

Happy Gifting!
