and that be the reason why we call it

MENSWEAR MONDAY!

K, so sometimes you have friends who look EXACTLY like male models. And sometimes those friends are kind enough to let you feature them and their fab fashion-chops on your style-blog. And sometimes those friends conveniently have roommates who are breath-taking photographers. So thank you Chase Hilton (male-model) & Landon Drean (breath-taking photographer) for combining your fabulousness for Menswear Monday today. WOOT-WOOT!

How would you describe your style? 

My personal style is fairly eclectic. Monday I might unveil my inner hipster and dawn some skinnies and a cardigan, while Friday my sophisticated, classy self might pay a visit with his pin-striped shirt and vest. I steer clear of t-shirts with typography and pictures on them (always seem tacky to me) and try to avoid huge trends if I can; I like to maintain my individuality at all times. I’m also a sucker for bold, bright colors mixed with patterns. And short shorts. Love me some short shorts.

Where are the top places you shop?

My top shops to shop for tops are (say THAT five times fast!): Top Man, Zara and, most recently Armani Exchange. Although, many of my best pieces are my thrift store finds. Can’t beat those.

Where do you find fashion inspiration?

My fashion inspiration comes mostly from my own research; I frequent numerous blogs, Pinterest, and, of course, the telly. I’m a sucker for reality fashion shows and, more often than not, look to what the male designers are wearing, not what they’re sending down the runway. I’m blessed to have to many fashion-conscious friends who inspire me daily and I often credit them the most for my “fassionate” state of being.
