Step Out And Make Moves
Aside from all of the walking I did on vacation in Japan, I feel like it’s been a month since I last worked out. I got sick and work was crazy, so my energy level was pretty low until today. I was finally able to get out and get active. I recently picked up the new lululemon Commission Pant & Twill Chill Long Sleeve, so wanted to put them to the test. Activewear has really found it’s lane and is slowly beginning to creep into the everyday uniform. Pieces like these help when you want to do a light work out and head straight to your next destination without the need to shower or change. This is definitely helpful during the week on a bike to work, or on a weekend when you want to go straight from a hike to hanging with friends. I’m all about the post workout without looking like I just worked out look. So I guess you could say these pieces passed the test.
If I were to say, “California is the _______ capital of the US”… How would you fill in the blank? Maybe sunshine, movie-making, Insta model, probably even avocado. Most would put all of this and maybe more before fashion and I’d probably agree. But the tide is turning quickly folks! A handful of California designers have set the tone for what we are seeing in men’s fashion these days & there are more on the rise. Needless to say, I was pumped when 
Not long ago, there was a brand that I would wear from time to time. The time was high school and the brand was Abercrombie & Fitch. As you grow older, you start to wear different things and slowly pull away from certain brands or retailers. It’s never really on purpose, but that’s just how things work. I was still trying to find my “style” during college and stopped paying attention to certain brands. But something big happened in 2015… Aaron Levine was hired as A&F’s lead mens designer and has since been promoted to the SVP of Design. He has a great resume and I own items from other brands that he’s designed for. This made me interested to see what he would do at A&F. When I saw his first collection, my jaw dropped. Is this real life!? Yes it was… I thought the line was perfect.
