Motivational Styling: How to be... "Inspired" JFK →

thoroughly motivated. houndstooth for life. bevinelias: Innovation can spur from the confidence one earns from the daring interlude between staying warm and being sartorially inclined. I strive to inspire and especially motivate others, but the true way to motivate is after inspiration. Take JFK Jean Personal Shopper, Blogger & Style…

The C Team!

I already follow all of these fine gentlemen. If you don’t already, you should. I’m honored to have made the cut. I’m assuming the C here stands for creative critics and conscientious connoisseurs of contemporary culture cultivating content cum class. Yeah. thisfits: (with apologies to team captain and MVP contender Edwin Hu) Edwin Hu C. Benjamin The Silentist Suits...

Where are my Bean Boots UPS?

According to UPS, my boots arrived yesterday in Long Island City, which I’m currently looking at from my window. And it just started snowing. Pissed.

Weekend Scarf Project Complete

I started this last weekend after I posted about getting the materials. It took me about 4 hours to do, but I’m pretty happy with the results. It probably would have been shorter, but I was pretty nervous. This was my first sewing project. I got a couple of books about sewing, but felt kind of stupid making pillow cases and draw-string pants. I feel I might as well start with...

J. Press x Urban Outfitters On Sale

The whole Urban Outfitters collab with J. Press is on sale now. Pants, sweaters and jackets are $60. Shirts are $40. I picked up the black watch pants and gray flannel pants. I like the way they fit, but I’m not happy with the lining. They’re both lined down to the knee in a very slippery polyester material. They slide around like the greased up deaf guy on family guy unless I...

Thank You Card from LEC

LEC sent me a handwritten thank you card for buying some shirts from them. This is the kind of thing that makes me loyal to a brand. Who does this? LEC apparently. I’m floored. I feel compelled to write a letter back, but she did include an email address. I kind of feel like a jerk too because I didn’t like the shirts and sent them back yesterday. I would have thought extra...

My Weekend: Scarf Project Materials

Since I began my sartorial journey, I’ve become acutely aware of two facts: There are several items that I want that I have a hard time finding. I think they may not exist at all. Many of the items I see that I do like are out of my price range. My solution to these two problems? Have a tailor make it for me. Psych! I can’t afford that either. On the real, I’ll just...

Riviera Club: Sweatpant Trousers

I ran into these in Bloomingdales today. Nothing short of epic. They look and feel amazing. Hook and eye closure. Zippered fly. Short rise. Back flap pockets. Need I go on. If I was dropping C notes on pants (plus a Jackson for tapering), I’d be all over these. Easy.
