The Eldredge Knot.

Not only am I crazy about ties, I’m crazy about knots. Learning new knots is something I do to spice up an everyday winner. Being a guy, we get away with being able to dress up a collection of probably 5-10 shirts, 2-3 pairs of pants, a blazer, a...

Sam Cooke has been ringing in my ears, as the warmth of the season is crawling over the chill of the long winter months. His music just makes the Spring time feel lighter. Let’s be real, I know it’s April, but sometimes it gets chilly here in...

Outfit Details: Button-Up: H&M Vest: Incorporated By Operations Bow Tie: Hatchery by Pierrepont Hicks Glasses: c/o Bon Look Pants: c/o Hudson Jeans Shoes: Zara This was just a nice, simple day to dress up and admire to weather. I’m looking forward to Spring, but I’ll always have a soft spot for the dry, weathered looks of the fall and winter.

This Is Sparta
Outfit Details: Mud Dirt Sweat Blood
So, as some of you know, I’ve been really involved lately with training for the SoCal Super Spartan Race that just passed. It was the first race of the year, held in Temecula, California, and it was incredible. The weather was perfect, ranging around the steady mid-upper 70s, without a cloud in sight. The dry desert wasn’t too bad because...

This was one of the last sets of photographs Keiko had taken before I took my big trip to Los Angeles. I was participating in the SoCal Super Spartan, an 8.5 mile, 20+ obstacle race that took place in Temecula - one of the hilliest places I’ve ever...

Jean&James, a boutique tie company, was kind enough to send me a couple bow ties of my choosing! I felt that it would be best to split up the looks, since each had its own feel.
Better Late Than Never.
This is something I should have scanned and posted, perhaps a month ago, but, what can you do? I was recently in the December issue of Inked Magazine, for their “Ink on the Street” section of the magazine. In the issue I was asked which tattoo was my favorite - an unfair and difficult question, since I really have a strong connection with so many of my tattoos. I chose to mention...

Tis the season to wear your bow ties and wear them with pride. I recently went through my tie box and realized that I have, perhaps, more ties and bow ties than I do shirts to wear them with! What can I say? I have an unhealthy obsession with anything...

I think the time spent happiest for me is when I’m at a park. Keiko and I spent some time at Fort Greene Park and it was just a beautiful day. I’m looking forward to more days like this.

Keiko and I were invited by Chaps for a little fun. She, along with Christine and Aly, were supposed to style the men in their lives. I’m too independent for that, so I sneaked away, while the girls were nibbling on cheese and fruit, and browsed the...
The Greatest Sandwich, Ever.
Just a brief update, to prove that I’m not dead or missing.
I’ve been trying to stay busy lately. I recently left my job at SoHo House, under good terms, to go to Culinary School. This time off has been good for me, but I needed to work somewhere again, so I went back to bartending. I now work at The Meatball Shop, as one of the bartenders. The thing I love about the place,...

I don’t know why, but I’ve always had a thing for climbing trees. Since moving to NYC, it’s been hard to find decent trees to climb! All the branches are trimmed and removed, leaving adventurous height-seekers, like myself, grounded. I saw this beast and hopped up to the top before Keiko even realized where I...

I don’t think I really talk enough about Miku and how amazing she is. So, here it goes:

And All That Jazz
This post differs from others because it has nothing to do with what I’m wearing, nothing to do with my cooking, but with the amazing opportunity that Keiko and I were given, along with a wonderful group of other bloggers - an Evening with Tiffany and Co. Upon meeting at Tiffany and Co., on Wall Street, on a rainy day, we all piled into two buses, which caravanned us about the city on a...

Flatbread Pizzas
There are few things that make me happier than making doughs. Pasta dough, bread dough, pizza dough, it goes on. There’s something about mixing all of the ingredients together and making something completely different than another dough by adding egg or yeast. And I’m usually a very clean person, obsessively wiping down countertops and washing my hands while cooking, but when...
Mac 'n' Cheese
That’s right, folks. It’s time for some good old-fashioned comfort food. I know that this dish usually screams to me when it’s cold out, but it also hits home when it’s raining a lot (which it’s been doing quite a bit, lately). So, the difference between this Mac ‘n’ Cheese and the kind you’d get for lunch in the cafeteria is the base (and the...
Happy Mother's Day! (the other day)

So, a belated Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms, to my mom, etc. Keiko and I live pretty far away from our moms, so we decided to call ‘em up and eat an awesome brunch for them! You’re welcome, Mom. It was delicious. We stopped off at Benchmark, in Park Slope, Brooklyn and snacked away at their...

Toys 'r' Us Kid
Recently, while Keiko and I were in Florida, we celebrated my 26th birthday. It was probably one of the best birthdays I’ve ever had, simply because it was so normal. A nice quite dinner with Keiko’s family - who surprised me with balloons and signs! - some hugs and cakes. Yes, that’s right cakes. More than one. Keiko wanted to make sure that this was the bomb-diggity of...

Recently, Keiko and I took a little trip to The Big Easy, to speak on the NOLA Fashion Week panel on fashion blogging! We were accompanied by Christine from My Style Pill and Lindsay from Saucy Glossie. The entire experience was incredible, and probably too good for a single entry. While in New Orleans, I made a point to eat as much food as possible - I think I gained somewhere around 10...

Birthday!
Yesterday was my 26th birthday. Before leaving for Orlando (where I’m from), I celebrated with Keiko’s family in South Florida. I even got a new tattoo. No, not this one. That’s old news.
This one. It’s a spider in a web, my name (with an extra “B” for emphasis) and a cat named Little Little. And a heart, just because the whole thing seemed a little too tough...

Keiko and I are getting ready to take a well-deserved road-trip vacation back home. I’ve been putting in more work hours than I’ve probably ever worked, but every hour worked will pay off for this break. I can’t wait to visit my family and friends, drink some Barnie’s coffee and eat...

I really can’t think of anything better than an old-fashioned photo-booth. The quote “A picture is worth a thousand words” really does seem like it came from the booth curtain of some dive bar in Orlando. I remember walking into venues and seeing the booths tattooed with stickers of bands, clothing companies and graffiti and feeling more at home than the moments before,...

So, living in New York is great; let me just put that out there. Every corner oozes with culture, art, fashion, food and wonder. Most neighborhoods have enough history to have an inch-thick book written about them alone. My neighborhood has a history of gang wars at C-Town...

So, this is the New Year
Ringing in the New Year, I reflected a bit on the many things that I had done since the last. I remembered that one year ago, today, I was working as a Room Service Attendant that took his spare time to learn to cook in a professional kitchen, without pay. On New Year’s Eve, I came in at 4:30AM and worked until 2PM in Room Service and then changed into my whites, walked into the kitchen...

"Yesterday I Woke Up Sucking A Lemon."
“Better now than never,” is what comes to mind at the moment. Keiko and I have been waiting to post some photos for a couple weeks now, but her computer, with all of the editing software, was in the repair shop. She was relying on mine, but, let’s face it, my computer sucks.
A lot of gadgets have been breaking lately (my cellphone included), so I bought a new Blackberry! I...

Imagination Rules The World - Napoleon
Garcon Chic, an Italian-based clothing line, let me pick out a couple shirts of my choice from their collection. I chose the two that really stood out to me, this Napoleon Bonaparte shirt and another La Vie En Rose shirt, which I’ll show in another update. I’ve been looking forward to wearing my new blazer lately, and, boy, this was the best day to do it. My first day off in nearly...

Just a quick look into my work life. Chef Paul decided to take a photo with his camera-phone during one of the busier moments of the night. We just had our highest grossing night last week, halloween eve. I spent nearly 35 or so hours working three days. Awesome. I’m a firm believer that you can do or learn anything by immersing yourself into the field or passion of your choice,...
