Summer Denim - Two Ways!

Très Bien

shop the outfit or similar! 

I'm back for a second day in a row! you guys proud? Well get use to it! In case you don't follow me on twitter, I announced a few days ago that I'll be doing a complete rebranding/site makeover which is planned to launch beginning of summer! the official hashtag is #NewGALLA...it's going to be more of a magazine layout and incorporate several different categories like grooming, food, travel etc. I'll be posting DAILY!!! i don't want to give it all away, but it's going to be A M A Z I N G. I can't wait for you to see it. 

onto the outfit! So I whipped together this ensemble because I was inspired by my upcoming trip to PARIS! (Yes, you heard correct...I'll be in Paris for mens fashion week!) I paired this striped tee with a bright red bandana, comfy jeans from @Nordstrom's website and chucks! Sure it's not my typical style but if you're a frequent reader you know I like to take risks. Also- you can't go wrong in a comfy pair of blue jeans. Lana Del Ray backs me up on that one.

SHOP THE OUTFIT & SIMILAR

Afternoon guys! Hope everyone's been enjoying #spring, It's been absolutely beautiful in NYC for the most part. Today we're discussing spring/summer denim! Sure with the heat you may have counted out these pieces in your wardrobe but let's not forget the shifting nights when it can become breezy, especially if you're coastal. Or if you have some events coming up like a dinner, outside/rooftop party, or even a cruise! these staples will come in handy. 

For today's post I chose WHITE skinny jeans from the @Nordstrom website and paired it with a white tee, light denim shirt and brown accessories. It's certainly a statement but clean and crisp whites have always been a summer favorite of mine. Nordstrom had a variety of different white chinos that you can choose from...check the shopping bar above! 

what're your thoughts? I feel like men are so quick to throw on a monochromatic black outfit, but I think that a full white ensemble can be just as stylish if accessorized well. Brown, navy and hints of dark red do the trick! try to steer clear of black otherwise you'll just be "miming" about.

Quick post from London! I've been wanting to showcase these bright trousers for some time now and how to dress them down a bit so they're not so loud. I paired a simple print shirt from HM and slip-on dress shoes with NO SOCKS for more of a casual approach. I've also included my new over-size Diesel watch and a couple beaded bracelets. If you have a larger wrist or just like big "bling" then I suggest you check out these new Diesel wall-clocks-for-your-wrist...I mean who doesn't want to feel like snoop dog for a day?

Shorts- Denim & Supply, Shirt- HM, SHOES- Sperry Topsider, Sunnies- 80spurple, Bag- Jack Spade

Hey Guys! Hope you all enjoyed your Memorial day weekend, I certainly did! Us New Yorkers were blessed with beautiful, hot dry weather! Felt like I was back home in Southern California. Today on the blog I wanted to showcase a casual yet sophisticated spring look so I paired my olive shorts with a crisp white shirt and boat shoes...and let's not forget the bag! I've been using this one by Jack Spade for a variety of different purposes lately, especially for my commute to the office in the mornings. The bag is great because it's both practical and dapper - not to mention made with durable materials that will last you a long time. 

If you have a minute check out the Jack Spade website- today's perk is as follows: 

Enter "SAVEMORE" at checkout to save 20% off orders of $150, 25% off orders of $250, AND 30% off orders of $350. (pretty good if you ask me)

Desert Roadtrip

Afternoon everyone! Happy Coachella weekend 2! If you're headed down there today, have a blast and make sure to take in all the beautiful scenery on the way! I sure did last week when Lexus provided me a new Lexus IS 350 for my road trip from Orange County to Palm Springs! Shantiel and I took it off-roading a bit to snap these pictures in front of the renowned pinwheels in Palm Springs County- we were also greeted with a colorful desert sky and dry warm winds, I couldn't get enough. It was a nice change from freezing NY! The car itself provided one of the smoothest rides I've ever been on, and not to mention quietest. Zooming down the 10 freeway I even put it into Sport mode where we were given a little more hustle - all under the speed limit of course! But the features are just too fun to not play with. All in all my #roadtrip to #Coachella was one to remember, thank you Lexus and DETAILS magazine for the opportunity!

Dior Bomber Jacket- The Real Real, Plaid- Cotton on, Watch- DanielWellington, Boots- Testosterone, Jeans- BenSherman, Sunnies- Electric Visual

Morning guys- one of my last few photo shoots in New York was taken in Central Park along the skyline atop the big rock. Due to my post fashion week coma I went extremely casual in my new Dior bomber jacket from The RealReal.com (Tip: authenticated luxury consignment site - if you are not already in the know!) paired with a bright red shirt, chrome reflectors and black boots.The RealReal is an amazing online consignment shop where you can find designer brands such as Dior Homme, Tom Ford, Saint Laurent & Givenchy up to 90% off. Even though snow was on the ground, the weather was much warmer and I could finally do without a big coat (score).

Head over to The RealReal.com to check out some more designer pieces like this Dior Bomber at up to 90% off retail.. My readers get a special 20% off promo code- "IAMGALLA" that's good until the 27th of this month!"
