I spent most of my twenties thinking I just wasn’t a ‘blazer guy’ because every time I put […]
I spent exactly $485 on a pair of Balenciaga Defenders in 2023 and I looked like a toddler wearing cereal boxes.

At least that’s what people say. I never find a black outfit boring, but I can imagine that it is the case for others. But if you want to wear a monochrome black […]
Oh boy, after this shoot these sage green boots will be on Vinted. Such a shame.
