Favorite Sunglasses for Spring/Summer 2012
I have a small collection of specs and sunglasses that I’ve collected since about 2004 but I don’t wear them much anymore. Back then it was pseudo-cool thing but as I’ve grown older sporting eyewear has become a lot more functional. Although I don’t need specs to read or see I do need them for...

This past Saturday I covered “Style & Swag: The New Black Male Elegance” event at the Reginald F. Lewis Museum. The event included a workshop, fashion show and panel discussion all in conjunction with the Dandy Lion exhibit showing at the museum. The highlight of this event was the panel discussion where the panelists all shared...
Tyga featuring Drake – “Still Got It”
Tyga’s debut solo album “Careless World” was surprisingly solid, underrated even. I always felt like he had a knack for making solid songs or at least showing up well on features since his first few verses as a Young Money representative. The beats are really good on this album, its cohesive and the content...

My Thoughts on Various Online Retailers
The other day I was idle in the doctor’s office and took to Twitter with my thoughts about different online retailers, more commonly known as e-tailers. I was asked to gather those thoughts and post them here so that folks wouldn’t have to go back and sift through days of my Twitter timeline. Here was...
The ConfirmedStock Pop-Up Recap
If covering an art exhibit wasn’t enough excitement for me for one Saturday, I also attended the Confirmed Stock Pop-Up Shop that I mentioned here a few weeks ago. The turn out was great! Great vendors, great customers and great products. It was held in an abandon church that looked like it has been...

This past Saturday I had the opportunity to attend “Dandy Day: A Celebration of Dandyism at the Reginald F.

Black Dandyism is sub-culture of urban sophistication among gentlemen within the...

Music: What I’ve been listening to lately…
I’ve been in this really “trapped out” music mode for the last 9 or 10 months. Aside from WTT, MBDTF and Lupe’s “Friend of the People” mixtape everything else has been hardcore, trap, drug dealing/using, swagged out, braggadocios rap music. My closest friends think its the funniest thing that I love music that seems to...
Favorite Loafers for Spring/Summer 2012
1. “Maui” Driving Shoe – $89 by 1901 for Nordstrom - Classic affordable driver with wrap around lace. Leather lining, suede outer in variety of colors. What I like about these most is that the rubber sole extends to beneath your toe that prevents the scratches you tend to get right under your toe on most...
