Simply put, every guy should have a three-piece suit this fall. This really buttoned-up silhouette can look so young and cool. Not only is the three-piece suit a nod to Savile Row and traditional tailoring at its best, but it’s one of the most versatile investments you can make. Remove the vest and you have a two-piece suit, take off the jacket and you have a pairing that’s still equally work appropriate. It’s the ultimate chameleon of suiting. Patterns, plaids, wools, stripes the availability of choices are endless. For a lil bit extra tip check member only sites like Gilt, Hautelook & Rue La La for great deals on suiting from major designers like Tommy Hilfiger, Joseph Abboud, Hickey Freeman, Ben Sherman & Michael Kors.

Happy Monday my loves. I hope you all had a fantastic Thanksgiving with your loved ones. Now we are back to the every day grind until Christmas. It’s sad, once one holiday is over, I’m counting down to the next lol. Anyway, back to the task at hand, my Thanksgiving was awesome, I had some great laughs with my family.

For my look, I wanted something simple, but of course with a little twist.

 

What I Wore

  • Black Skater dress from H&M
  • Grey tights by Exhiliration from Target
  • Over-the-knee Socks from Forever 21
  • Plum Marcy boots from Michael Antonio via 6pm These boots are super comfortable and I love the thick heel. It makes it easy to both walk and stand.
I kept it very simple, but of course my OTK socks and boots added a little edge to show my personal style. This dress was definitely food friendly. I wasn’t concerned with the bulge because it was hidden! I love how long my legs looked as well. You would have never guessed that I was only 5’4″!

 

Winter is coming! Winter is coming! Winter is coming! Just in case you didn’t know. The weather, especially in the NorthEast has been really unpredictable as of late. We had a terrible Noreaster after an even more devastating hurricane, so we need to be prepared for a future Snowpocalypse.

Last winter we barely had any snow. It was lovely! I did not have to dig my car out of mounds of snow and I was happy with that. Many meteorologists are predicting a terrible winter so change the tires on your car, get your brakes fixed, and check out this shopping guide for cold weather boots that will keep you warm, dry, and stylish.

 

We are about to enter in to a new season. Winter- characterized as having shorter days, longer nights, cold/frigid temperatures, barren, and sometimes desolate. When it comes to Winter you definitely need survival tips. Will you go out in a snow storm wearing a pair of shorts and flip flops? I don’t think so. Some of us maybe in this season in our lives already. Some may be entering this season or on your way out. Regardless of the fact, we will all face tough times where the days are short, the nights, are long, you feel cold on the inside because of past hurts, failed relationships, doubt, regret, and so forth. We will sometimes feel unproductive and even appear to be left desolate but I want you to remember this

“For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Romans 8:38-39)

God has you protected. So even though times are rough, or will be rough, just know that God has your best interest at heart. Nothing can keep you or separate you from God’s love. So just remember this when you feel like the world is against you or your storm is hard to bear, call on God. Depend on him for your survival.

This week Friday is the biggest shopping day of the year, Black Friday, and I for one am not stepping out of my house to enter not one crazy store (Maybe BJs) my fingers will do the walking online. This is the beginning of the holiday shopping season so get to those deals while they last and while supplies are available.

So for your viewing pleasure gentlemen , and ladies for your gentleman, I have procured some fashion black friday deals that can keep your style hot and your savings ice cold.
