My New Manifesto
Right before we shot these photos, I told Jeff Smith (a.k.a. “Giafrese“) that these were part of the relaunch of the site. What I didn’t impart directly was that they’re part of a relaunch of…well, me. Anyone can get into a rut. I’m no stranger to this type of life stagnation, that feeling that you’re ...

Get Dressed
New Territory Ahead
July 9, 2015
I’m finding it harder and harder to keep separate wardrobes. Let’s me expand upon that. The first thing I do at least five mornings a week is exercise. I love the way it makes me feel, and it helps clear the cobwebs that seem to gather across my thoughts overnight. I eschew coffee and morning ...

The Overall Truth About Overalls
I was strolling through Time Warner Center last summer when I spotted a pair of denim overalls hanging on the wall. Denim overalls. I hadn’t seen them since the 90’s (or I’ve been unaware of their presence.) My friends argued against it. I would seem too dated. I might look like an adult in Osh ...

Little Treasures
Before I moved to New York, I had a giant Craiglist sale of pretty much all my things. Everything had to go: furniture, kitchen goods, clothes, electronics. I got rid of as much s as I could because I knew I wouldn’t have room in Manhattan. I didn’t even have a place to live at the time, ...

Cozy In The Cold
Every once in a while, I have to get dressed up and go out in the cold. This is probably my least favorite thing to do, especially since I essentially hibernate the minute snow hits the ground. Pulling me away from hot chocolate and Netflix is a chore, but I do it. I’ve become a ...
