15 ECCENTRIC ESSENTIALS FROM MODA OPERANDI

   I LOVE all the pieces below. Not only because they're insanely cool and unique, but they all have tha level of restraint to be worn over and over and over again. Even the Vivienne Westwood corset can be played around with so many top/bottom combinations and dresses for a unexpected effect. Who would of thought some of these selections, as whimsical as they may seem, can really work more than once, and even for guys (the Equpiment tartan shirt). BTW, don't forget to vote for me in the Mr. Porter Global Style Competition!

5 NEW ARRIVALS FROM SSENSE.COM

       I'm noticing alot more new arrivals for fall are debuting on SSENSE, and the pieces keep getting better and better. Most of the new arrivals I haven't seen in other stores, and they're really starting to carry more emerging designers and diffusion lines (such as J Brand Ready to Wear and Roksanda Ilincic) with even more unique pieces that I'll need for a top secret VIP event with vampires in Transylvania (if they do exist). Or maybe you'll snag this Roksanda creation for part of someones  Halloween costume. Either way you'll look good.

ALEXANDER WANG DARK GREEN CHELSEA BOOTS - $595

9 WILD PGP'S FROM SSENSE.COM

     What's a PGP? It's not a drug, it's not a disease and it's definitely not this. It's my very crafty shorthand for print, graphic or pattern.

 Ever since Givenchy started showing prints in their menswear, it's gotten wildly popular with the rest of the fashion world. Especially when artists like Rihanna are seen wearing entire menswear looks that are a complete print. We may not get the most original styles from lower priced brands, but if you're willing to invest in a unique quality piece, the styles below may be right up your alley. Check them out while I'm getting this Mary Katrantzou needs to make sneakers petition going.

THE TOP 10 MENS BAGS FROM SSENSE.COM

SO.... I'm not much of a man bag kinda guy, but for some reason this season designers are putting out some of the best bags I've seen in a while... pieces that are more desirable to me than sneakers (and sneakers are a OBSESSION of mine.).I'm looking for another manbag myself since I kinda want something a little fresher than the Jack Spade bag I've carried around for almost 2 years. The menswear handbags have shapes that are more masculine and in darker, more textured leathers that don't come off as feminine, which is a plus because I (and most men) probably won't want to walk around with a Pink Birkin with heart charms falling from the clasp.Another twist is backpack styles that have prints, unique-shaped pocket and zipper placements, and more camper backpack styles (wider, more rectangular styles opposed to standard vertical shapes). Of course I'm a SSENSE fanatic, so below are the top 10 mens bags from them that I'm sure will not last for sale season.

KENZ-OH-OH-OH

So, since I was last posting about a year ago, my experience and exposure to different brands and the industry has definitely grown. One brand that I'm absolutely addicted to now is KENZO. The prints, colors, logo all hit the right spot for me.What I love most about the brand is how they utilize many different color combinations for their logo, which keeps it looking fresh and not redundant. I only own a New Era hat from their collaboration with them which is actually a size too big and a reminder that i need to find a hat craftsman to make it smaller (womp), but here are some core pieces I REALLY love from them, and I plan on snatching a sweater soon from Barney's (hopefully)......Scratch that, probably Opening Ceremony since its closer to my job in Soho..... you know what probably SSENSE........okay whoever has the damn sweater I want just call me and I'll order it........ #ShoppingProblem.

RIHANNA: GREY HAIR DON'T CARE

SO. Rihanna has dyed her hair once again, this time in what looks to be a silver/grey mix. I think it's cool, but with certain outfits I'm sure its going to look amazing. Does this mean new music? Allegedly she was caught on her way to the studio a month ago. I think I'm not OMG about it because I want her to really do some Kristen McNeammy shocking silver.
