New Year New You: Photo Shoot 2017

/

Blazer & Pants: ETRO Shirt: Brooks Brothers Shoes: Ferragamo Eyewear: Warby Parker

As the new year unfolds, many of us focus on a "new you." For me, this meant a fashionado upgrade. It was time to switch it up a bit with new looks, different styles. I took a more sophisticated approach to my personal style and image so in some of the photos I'm wearing Etro, one of my favorite design labels. Etro does pattern like no one else can and their fit is perfection! And because [I think] I'm a cool 50 year old, I couldn't resist and had to stage a few shots that showcased my ink. You can be dapper yet still be edgy. 

One of the best photographers in Atlanta also happens to be one of my best friends... Tomas Espinoza. We've been working together for a long time. Tomas is a perfectionist as am I, so we're a great match. I was able to pull him away from his busy shooting schedule at HGTV and as a freelance photographer to spend half-a- day with me! I'll be replacing some of the fashionado banner images with these. Thanks Tomas!

The WARBY PARKER Winter Collection 2014

Warby Parker

Warby Parker

I started wearing glasses in the 11th grade when it wasn't cool. Well, that was then and today we have Warby Parker. Glasses are not a fad and they're more than a trend. Glasses have become a must-have staple in the world of fashion. It's an accessory that celebrates form while serving functionality. The 2014 Winter Collection by Warby Parker embraces that concept with eight super stylish designs. Let's meet these handsome beauties:

The Warby Parker Oates design is my personal favorite... This is the pair of the 2014 Winter Collection that I would rock with a suit or jeans. In shorts or in a tux. Like most Warby Parker designs, they boast a contemporary twist on a classic style. [I would need them in progressives which is not a problem for WP!] Imagine a chunky shawl collar cardigan, weathered jeans, suede boots and these WP Oates...

Up your cool factor with Warby Parker sunglasses!

Available in your prescription (if necessary) WP offers their expansive collection in various shades to suit your personal style.

Do these not scream convertible ride through the country?

Introducing: Talbot, Vaughan, Laurel, Verne and Wilkie round up the Warby Parker Winter Collection. You definitely must visit their website and go in their stores because what I have featured is really just a sampling of what Warby Parker offers. In addition to these eight new shapes, WP gave us choices, six new rich tones to be specific. And we like that! You see, they mixed things up in a very fashion-forward way: stainless steel meets acetate and if you really want to make a statement, add color! Confident. Sophisticated. Cool. There's a Warby Parker for everyone's personality.
