Back at it again. The usual suspects just doing what we do. On a lovely spring afternoon, my most fashionable friends and I got together just for the sake of hanging out, but we made an event of it. Give us any excuse to sip mimosas, socialize, and look cute, right?!



The Tastemakers of LA Garden Party was officially hosted by Jae Joseph, Taye Hansberry, Reinaldo Irizarry, Andres Matsen, Leanna Lewis, and Judy Chang but the guest list was full of other stylish bloggers and glitterati. The crowd couldn't be better. I mean, just look at how adorable model Devin and PR superstar Tashah are. And then there's the ever gorgeous Taye Hansberry and the handsome Andres Matsen. When I asked Andres how he decided he'd sport that crisp ivory jacket, he said "It's a garden party, so I figured I can wear white."

The day was just divine, but I was multitasking terribly. It's a lot to try and take pictures, network, and consume as many cupcakes as possible.  Talking to people with a mouthful of sweets comes off a little rude. I also had to pleasure of meeting one of my Instagram followers who is just fabulous in his own right. Oh, and I have to say that Donna Karan's Urban Zen is just heavenly. All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed myself. Let's do it again very soon, lovelies.

So Necessary: Style Protocol

Since I was a kid, I've been surrounded by men who get their hands dirty, but who also clean up pretty nicely. They know that you don't wear ripped up jeans to brunch. They never go somewhere important looking like they just rolled out of bed. And most importantly, they know how to tie a neck tie. These guys were taught how to carry themselves as men. But as I get older, what I thought was a standard is actually an anomaly. When did dressing like a slob become attractive? It's obvious that dudes these days need help and how! Enter celebrity fashion stylist Reinaldo Irizarry...

Mr. Reyal Fashion is sharing his talent and knowledge in a new book called Style Protocol. It's an impeccable go-to guide for men's style that doesn't read like stereo instructions. Reinaldo realized that men need a little more guidance than women when it comes to clothing. Think about it... the average guy doesn't wear clothes that fit him and really doesn't know when to wear what. They actually have to google black tie affair when they see it on an invitation.
“The indispensable advice in this book will help you gain an understanding of how the different elements of dressing all relate and how you can use them to develop a polished and confident sense of personal style.” - Reinaldo Irizarry

The book covers topics like what to wear for everyday life, instructions on tying both a necktie and a bow tie, and dressing well on a budget. Reinaldo also goes beyond the call of duty and teaches men the ins and outs of suits even down to how to tell the difference between a canvased suit and a fused one. Genius.
