Modern Preppy Look!!!

The preppy look is basically a neat, well-balanced, put-together look that can be achieved by combining the right colors, patterns, and accessories. Over time, preppy fashion has evolved from a classic and simple look into a modern and quirky style. Looking preppy is more than just throwing a pastel polo and a boat shoes - it is emanating the aura and attitude of specific liberty lifestyle

How to look modern preppy? Here are some possible pieces to consider which I also wore during our outdoor shoot;

• Polo shirts or Oxford shirts (replaced with a plaid button up polo)
• cable knit vest (not on my wardrobe list)
• cricket sweaters (replaced with a striped pullover)
• chino pants (light green cotton chinos)
• tassel brogue loafers (my favorite mustard color)
• baseball cap (coach it is!)

I hope you guys like my version of preppy style'

Wardrobe Weeding is the key!!!

I have been very active on my posts recently and often times, you’ll find me showcasing my #OOTD’s or simply sharing you my #fashionspirations  (fashion inspirations outfits) either in Lookbook, Facebook or mostly in Instagram. By doing so – it also means different types of clothing’s needed!!! This is where my frustrations comes in place- The most dreadful part in choosing the clothes to wear is either I feel that the clothes is too small on my size (blame it on the extra pounds I gained!!! Grrrr!!!) or that feeling where you think you have “nothing to wear “ when you actually have a full wardrobe of clothes

I get it , sometimes we were blinded by all these enticing "SALES" we saw in the mall and most of us ended up buying things that are just kept “on hangers” – items that are not liked, does not fit properly or perhaps bought on a caprice –impulsive buyers like me can totally relate to this!!!

Then, I started to experiment my mode of dressing – de-clutter those pieces so I could see the true potential of what I have in my closet, only identify pieces that I can still be of used and filter out the rest and voila!!!! I would have never imagined that the outcome is excellent!

Think about this cropped pullover (see photo below) which I got from women's section in H&M which took me one year before I could finally used it as a layering piece for this super chic custom fit white button up which I also worn once

After clearing out my closet - I feel confident that the next time I open my walking wardrobe ( haha!! ) I am going to see something nice and are useful for my kind of style!!!

Details of today's outfit :

Cropped Pullover : H&M

There you have it folks:), I hope you find this post a little helpful in weeding your closet, always remember your style is unique - let it be unique for yourself and yet identifiable for others" - Anna Wintour

Taking advantage of Winter in UAE!!!

It's the time of the season where layering is an important element in clothing, you can never go wrong in having a piece of outerwear with you which you can then wear during nighttime as it usually gets a little warmer after that... 

Having been a residence in the desert for more than a decade, I have experienced the hottest temperature averaging from above 38 degrees Celsius which usually occurs during the month of June through September and the cooler season is from Nov. to March which ranges between moderately hot to cold

On average, we experienced longer summer season than winter in UAE so I feel  a sense of relieved every time winter comes- who does not want to retreat from the intense summer heat and year round humidity in the capital?

I'm glad I invested into a durable denim jacket which I actually got from Maison Martin Margiela collaboration with H&M - yes and I am one hell of a lucky guy who actually owns several pieces from that collection!!! sweet!!!!

Detail's of today's outfit:

Reversed Denim Jacket : Maison Martin Margiela
Hi- Top Sneakers : Maison Martin Margiela

Sports Luxe Style ft. Fashion Trainer!!!

Think about vests, bomber jackets and hi-top trainers/sneakers for a wearable look with the spirit of strenuosity. It's no secret that sportswear is making a big hit nowadays, everyone seemingly tossing around the term "sports luxe" banging all the way

What I love about this look is its modern, comfy and cool. Alexander Wang, to name a few have been the pioneer of the sports luxe trend and he has recently launched his sports pieces collaboration with H&M last Nov 6th which I happened to missed. (feeling gutted)

"nuff" said - Here is my version of sport's luxe style featuring my all time fave Maison Martin Margiela Le Trompe Hi Top sneakers;

with a cooling temperature now in the desert - there is no better time to embrace the sports luxe trend. The "on the go" look for an effortless yet fashionable appearance!!!

Details of today's outfit:

Bomber Jacket: Zara

Leggings : H&M

Eye wear : Emporio Armani

Sneakers : Maison Martin Margiela

I hope you like my version of sports luxe style, for inquiries and collaboration, please drop me a note at roymenor2680@yahoo.com

Have fun you guys, till my next post :)

It has come to an end!!!

It's worth sharing....

Few months ago, I met this person who were simply looking for a place to live with - very timely as my Aunt posted a vacant room through a local classified ads  with an interesting note of "to share with a "decent man" - well, I am, kinda and a lot of people can attest to that! hehe!!!

Official Roommate - and so we shared a one big salon , as you may know the flat rentals in UAE is ridiculously pricey and nowadays It's not practical to pay a fortune for one room. From the start, I had no clue what was his motivation in getting the room but when being asked - He said he loves the family-like atmosphere and it is closer to his workplace

As days go by, we became really close - we discovered similar interests, we love to eat and spicy cuisines are among our favorites and He is also a great cook!!! I am also overwhelmed by the attention he is giving - cooking lunch or dinner before and after I arrived from work, cleaning the house and all sort of things. I am not sure how I feel that time but one thing for sure, He surely knows how to make someone happy!!!

One month later - it blossoms from two people who started as roommates into a deeper friendships, I wouldn't call it love from my side which is unfair as it may sounds but I tried to find it in me and there was nothing in there - I tried to fill up the emptiness but it just didn't work

Something's missing - we both know it and we have been avoiding it for a long time, we just don't communicate like we used to but the time has come that we need to break up. No one did anything wrong, it just didn't work the way we want it to be. I admire you for your kindness and you are such a good and beautiful person.

Thank you for allowing me to see your lovely soul and for sharing so much of yourself with me. You deserve someone who could really make you happy someday!!! I know it's cliche but I am hoping that we can still be friends in some level, I know it's hard for you to cope up while we are still sharing the same room together but I hope  we can set aside our differences and continue to travel in this crazy life journey!!!

You will always have a special place in my heart - Goodbye!!!!
