CAN'T BUY ME LOVE

I had the opportunity to attend a really special event in Bev HIlls on Wednesday. Ted Baker, Bloomingdales and Esquire Magazine invited me to a once in a life time round table discussion on The Beatles that featured four of the most seasoned Beatle experts in the world. The dapper panel consisted of Bruce Spizer, Chris Carter, Frank Daniels and Mark Lewisohn; author of The Beatles: All these years-Vol 1.  The evening was an ode to all things British and 50 years of Beatlemania in the US. 

The real star of the evening however, was my Ted Baker Lochus Scotch Grain Satchel. I mean how good? I had been on the hunt for a new bag for work and when I peeped the TB satchel at Bloomie's it was love at first sight.

My style is kind of bi polar. I really enjoy an edgy all-black-leather situation, but I also have this classic refined side to me that Ted Baker just speaks to. Their entire men's collection is genius, they push the envelope on design and functionality without being over the top and in your face about it. It's classy clothes for classy people!

COLOR MYTHS

by gregory davalos


I know, i'm totes wearing all white after labor day. Sue me (If you want to get technical, I actually took these in August) As I sat in god forsaken traffic today, I thought back to this day and these photos and I wondered why fashion rules exist. 

Some people say you can only wear all white in the summer or if you're Kanye. I detest this notion--in fact I wore this exact outfit to my best friend Kelly's wedding, even though you aren't supposed to wear white to wedding! I consider myself a law abiding citizen, but fashion rules are old school.

What are your thoughts on this matter? Do you believe in fashion rules? I seriously want to know!!
