Once Again Hi Readers,

My subject is about accessories and what things we can't leave the house without. Our accessories is what pretty much completes the outfit and knowing that you are sporting them is also a way of showing you know how to work it. The main accessory I would leave without would be my glasses in because first of all they help me see things far away especially. If I was to only choose one fabulous thing I couldn't leave the house without, it would have to be a manbag lol. I have a big collection of men's bags a few women's bags inside the collection. Most of my bags are Diesel and all the bags range from small to large.

The bags from this season are just amazing right now for men and women. Right now the bags I want are from Diesel, Tod's, and Felisi Di Felloni for men. The bags I really like for women right now from Diesel, Etro, and True Religion. Check out some of the bags I want from these brands:

Where To Buy

What brands do you readers like and also post what you are totally wanting right now for your look?

Lately people I have been listening to old school music from the 80s and 90s that is all about being remixed and I love the remixes. My interest in this music sets inspiration for style and design, I mean in the fashion scene right now they have been hinting the whole 90s looks with mess for men and 80s for women with shoulder pads and whatever else that you can think of. I see the grunge style coming into play since the style for men is slowly leaning that way.

I am all about 80s remixes right now and this is getting me to change up my style right now, I have a preppy look going on for the past few weeks. I have been leaning back to the genre Hardstyle which is the metal version of trance music, when I listen to that genre I feel like I should wear more clean cut silhouettes with an edge to them. Expand your music selection to things that you normally wouldn't listen to and how the tone makes you want to dress.

My question is what music genres inspire you my readers with your style ?

Watch this video and see if this may interest or inspire your style.

This new blog post I am doing is based on my friend Andrew's music career and how he is making his dream come true. We all want thing to happen for us that we want to come true, in order for us to achieve that goal we must actually pursue it. One of my favorite lines from a track by Kaskade called "One Heart," the line says "Knowing what makes us happy, Sometimes the hardest thing to lose."

I have known Andrew for basically for eight years & there have been times through thick and thin, but now I supporting his choice in the music world. I have been able to score his first debut album he gave me, and believe me the music is amazing people. Andrew's music has a jagged edge to it with a rich sound of video game inspired tones along with obvious industrial undertones that can't be ignored. I was able to experience his music having him perform a none recorded track live in his room which is his work area. You could tell while he was singing that he was in his trance, while I his audience was absorbing the energy.

I had the pleasure of interviewing him for this blog post as well:

Q. How old are you and what is your astrology sign my dear friend Andrew ? 26 and I am a Pisces.

Q. How did you start getting into making music and why did you decide to go with this career path ? Well…I have been playing the piano since I was four years old for my own benefit, but I was writing songs since I was six. Stone babies is a group that has inspired me & they are a dark cabaret inspired and along with Danny Elfman who is did soundtracks for Batman, Ed Wood, Sweeny Todd and many more.

Q. What inspires you to do the music you like to create ? I get into the direct connection with emotion and mode along with certain sounds & structures. I try to make stuff like that.

Q. What do you think people will think of your music ? A wide variety of people will have a wide variety of reactions, it has a something that is for everyone. Some people might not like it because I cover a wide variety of ground. I like the fact that you are covering a wide range because no one really these days do at all, and if they do they suck at it to me.

What genre would you categorize your style ? Industrial is the all encompassing label, I like a wide variety of music from Europe like electronica and metal. I like soundtracks from Akira Yamaoka he did Silent Hill soundtracks & Ubua Yamastu for the Final soundtracks. To me Andrew it sounds like Freezepop with an awesome punk flare.

Q. Do you think that your music has some stories based on yourself ? I say that some of them inspired by some of my experiences, I am like a novel writer that has victicious perspectives, things that sound like that could be real, or even from another place.

Q. Do you think your music will be more main stream in the future, or more indie the way most electronica is ? I already have music that is main stream, but I don’t think I will become more mainstream, but I think it will be better as time goes on.

Q. Nerd question time dude. Do you like anime & which is your absolute favorite? I am picky about it, but like dark anime the best. I am very fond of Vampire Hunter D, Hellsing, Berserk & Elfen Lied, basically anytime you have a horrific anime that has dark tones it me intrigued.

Q. What game are you hella into right now ? League Of Legends by right! !! !! I’m hooked on the adrenaline I get from the game.

Q. Final question Andrew. Why video game music for your choice of inspiration for your works ? I think one of the strongest powers of music, we associate it with is what happens to our lives, it can take you back to your magical land of adventure. I like to transport people to a magical place inside their own heads.

Major: Traditional Illustration

Work & Where ?: No lol not currently. However I did work at my uncle's winery Robledo Family Winery and at Gloria Ferrer. Had to quit because of school. It was fun. I saw lots of fashion don'ts lol.

What do you like about fashion ?: It's always evolving and I love that. I like looking at what's in, mixing it with what I already have and making it my own. I am in love with vintage designer pieces paired with current ones. A quote about fashion that inspires me : "Fashion is made to become unfashionable" -Coco Chanel. SO TRUE!

Where do you shop ?: Where DON'T I shop? lol just kidding. I am actually very picky. Right now I am obsessed with Bebe. But I have been a long time shopper at BCBG, Nordstrom, Bloomingdales, Guess, Free People, and my mom's closet ;) I am very committed to all of these places. I used to like Macy's but they have stopped carrying certain brands....and have gone downhill a little.

How would describe your style ?: My style is a reflection of my personality. I would describe it as romantic, classic, sophisticated and a touch of trendy. Sometimes I can be edgy (I love leather and punk inspired things). I don't like being too trendy. I've always been a trendsetter. And no, I'm not bragging. People just like the way I put things together. It's the artist inside of me that lets me see fashion in a unique way.

So overall, I don't like to stick to one particular style. I mix and match accordingly. Mixing textures is great (leather, lace, silk, etc). I hope that answers your question.

What do I like about fashion ?: I love fashion because it is always a way to express yourself all the time, I like showing what I have when wearing the clothing, but I don't show everyone what I do have. Fashion is something that hasn't ever interested me until like 4 or 5 years ago lol.

Where do I shop ?: Omfg where to start ? Well I shop at Macy's Men's Store and H&M sometimes, thrift stores for sure because of all the vintage stuff, Diesel, Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Ave Men's Store, Saks Outlet, Cole Haan, Burberry, Marshall's, TJMaxx & wherever else really.

How would you describe my style ?: My style used to be more gothy and punk at one point, then when I started getting to fashion I started buying more prep brand's like Abercrombie which was just a phase. My style has evolved to more an Italian style & clean cut now, the style is kinda Hugo Boss like sometimes, but more European in general. I still wear my regular everyday clothing for sure that's urban like.

Anyone who is in involved in fashion seems to have a favorite model. Knowing that you have that favorite model inspires you in so many ways that may have not even imagined. The one who inspires me is Freja Beha Erichsen, she is a beautiful Danish model that always appears in every magazine that I have seen and I love that about her. I prefer models that aren't overly used like some of them in Vogue which annoys the hell out of me.

One of the things that I love about Freja is the fact that she has the perfect androgynous look. Freja's appearance can look masculine and feminine which something I look for, another fact that I love about her is that she is a lesbian. Yay for gays ! If you want to see more Freja visit the official Freja Beha site. http://www.frejabeha.com/

Who are your favorite models fellow readers ?

I want to share the fantastic show from Diesel's Black Gold label, I love their high quality denim and I think everyone else should give their clothing a try. My favorite model of all time is of course is the first model to walk the runway. Freja Beha is in almost every high-fashion magazine & runway show. She is the best model ever in my opinion.
