I spend an insanely narcissistic amount of time creating original posts and reproducing my content on different platforms. If you are on any of these too, maybe you can add me to your follow list. I promise to not be boring and to engage with anyone who cares. x

I’ve been back in Miami for a week and am loving it.  Miami is best when you’ve been away. The warmth immediately accepts you and all worries seem less troublesome. I’ve been hitting up all my favorite spots and getting myself organized. A few changes happened on the beach since I’ve been gone. I noticed that La Belle Rebelle is opening a location on Washington Avenue. I absolutely love this swimwear brand and am eager to have a location so close to me. Not sure when it’s opening, but I’ll send out a tweet and update this post when I find out.

What  else. Oh! Icebox moved to from Lincoln Road to a bigger location on Purdy Avenue. Right next to the new Ice Box is a newly opened Panther coffee. So dope. David and I used to drive to Wynwood (original Panther location) on occasion just for two coffees, now it’s just five minutes away. Pinkberry yogurt opened on Ocean Drive while I was gone too. It’s literally next door to the Versace Mansion, so that’s just extra reason to eat fro-yo on a park bench day dreaming about the shenanigans that went down in the 90s.

New coffee, bikini and breakfast spots are always fun, but the most exciting new development since back in Miami is my new shoes!  I cannot stop rocking these metallic gladiator sandals, and I don’t wanna stop. They make me feel like a badass and they go with everything. David took these photos on Saturday morning at South Point in Miami Beach. I really wanted to pair my new sandals with something natural and strong, the rocks and ocean felt perfect.

I’m so inspired by Miami again – I’m looking forward to producing some kick-ass shoots over the next two months. #SummerIsComing xx

Since it seems like Gatsby fashion is everywhere, I thought I should write a post about it. When I was done the words were more of a discussion on homage and the limits of interpretation. You ready?

I’m heading back to my home in Miami on Sunday. It’s bitter sweet because I have enjoyed my time in New York so much. I love the city and look forward to coming back here more often.

I want to thank the Mobile Nations team for hosting my stay and for being kick-ass people. I’ve learned so much more about styling menswear, online publishing and creating good content. I can’t wait for the #TM2013 launch and to be able to talk about the huge project the Mobile Nations team has been cooking up while here in NYC. (And mostly looking forward to adding Crackberry Kevin’s looks to my portfolio, duh)

Next posts will be from Miami! It’s been real. x

Men’s jacket, borrowed from David. Nasty Gal crop top. Vinage Levi shorts. Zara boots.

I’m on the hunt for the perfect summer clutch. I’ve been eyeing Backstage’s boxed perspex clutch for what feels like ages. I might have to finally pull the trigger and order it. Few accessories feel as light and summery as a handbag you can see through. I put together this hit-list of acrylic bags I’m feeling. Which is your fave? x
