What are you saving up for the summer? Update my fall wardrobe and perhaps some sleek new wingtips.
What summer trends have you seen? Cuffed jeans with boat shoes, destroyed jeans, oversized oxfords for women and heavy heavy jewelry.
What is your dream vacation? A trip to some super small, non-touristy European city where I don't speak the language and don't know anyone. Somewhere completely authentic and not Americanized at all.
Vote on whether this week's subject is "Stylin" or "Wildin" below...
What's your summer drink? Mojito.
What inspires your style? I mostly get my inspiration from different editorials and blogs. Whether it's a mens editorial or womens, there's always something that I can pull from it and find a way to apply it to myself.
What city has the best style? New York will always have the best style.
Who has wack style? Obnoxious women such as Lady Gaga and Britney Spears. They try too hard and it's annoying. Also, anyone who only wears A&F and Hollister.
What trend do you want to see die? Fedoras and popped collars.
Most money spent on clothing? $345 on a D&G trench coat at one of their sample sales.
What do you collect? I actually collect postcards! They're all at my parents' house but I have hundreds. I also have a giant collection of magazines too.
Favorite brand? I am recently obsessed with Junya Watanabe's Spring 2010 Collection. Anything super preppy with a rolled-up jean and a driving cap is my favorite.
Most common statement about your style? "Why are you wearing so many layers?!" No matter how hot it is, I will pile on the T-shirts just to add some extra bulk.
Item you most regret buying? All of the flip flops that I currently own, since I will probably never bother wearing them again.
What do you see as the next big trend? A giant architectural collar for men. Something ridiculous I am sure. Who knows, anything goes.
What is your favorite city? New York.
What is your dream job? High end fashion photographer for some major publication.
Who is your dream date? A millionaire who will buy me clothes.
Trend proof style advice? Do your research and try to find things that are not typically worn by everyone else. Take ideas and concepts from menswear and womenswear and incorporate it somehow into your own style. Don't let a particular brand or store sell you their style, just mix it up.
