Things? Happening? Excited? Very?

Hi everyone! Hope you all are well. So I thought for today, I would update you guys on what has been going on my life as of late. Recently (that being about two weeks ago), I ran into a street style blogger by the name of William (Will) Crooks. I was actually introduced to his blog over coffee one night. Of course, coffee has to always be involved. Anyway, as I was looking over his blog, I noticed that there was an aesthetic that I hadn't been aware of until it was captured in a photo. It's interesting to think that much of our time is spent bypassing the beauty that is around us, and begin to grow almost numb to anything that is, well, beautiful. And it is because of that reason, that capturing of the moment, that I love photography. It's a great way of preserving the essence or a story or simple memory associated with that particular moment. And more me, photography and fashion go hand-in-hand. Fashion tells a story through an aesthetic, which photography captures that story. It's that magical feeling you get when you're flipping through the pages of a magazine and you are captured by a photo, shot on the rooftop of an Italian gala, with lights and people. Captured in the center is this person, not modeling, necessarily, but captured in the natural. And you begin to see the small details that add to them; that add to the overall photo. It's that artistry that entices me. Alas, I have been blessed with the opportunity be photographed for Will's blog. And I'm hoping that I will be able to add to the aesthetic, through the photographs and through my own styling and photography. So that's basically all I wanted to say. I hope you could gain something from this and if not, that's okay too :) Until next time, stay fashionable. Xx

In the meantime, check out Will's blog. You won't regret it!

Here I am...for the most part.

Bonjour my friends. Today, I thought I would do something a little different. For awhile now, I've been primarily posting about fashion week (from NY, to London, to Paris) but as an aspiring blogger, I feel it's important for you guys to know me. To know who I am. To know how I think. Or, at least as much as you can from your over the internet. And so...for today's topic, I thought I would talk about, well...me. Or, at least a little bit of me. Starting with my favorite of all things aside from fashion, coffee!

Skinny caramel lattes, white chocolate mochas, hazelnut macchiatos, and I could go on but no. That's boring. Lol. But hopefully you get the point. I love coffee. Not black coffee, no. But everything else. Haha. I really feel like at times, I'm an addict which...honestly, isn't too farfetched at this point. You know when your in bed at night, after you've taken a nice, long, hot shower and you've snuggled underneath your blankets and then, out of nowhere, you have to go to the bathroom? That "omg, I don't want to get up but I need to go to the bathroom" feeling. Yeah, that's pretty much what I get from coffee. "Hello. My name is Victor. And I'm a coffee addict."

Music. Music. Did I mention music? Who doesn't like music? I'm sure we all have a favorite song or two that we, for the most part, have playing in our head at all hours. Or is that just me? Hmmm...well, it works for me. It's actually really funny to think about because as a college student, I'm constantly listening to music to maintain so level of sanity. Lol. But I've found myself forgetting to take out my headphones in class, I love it so much. Just the place that a song can put your mentally and emotional is a feeling that's unmatched. It's like a freedom that almost unexplainable but makes so much sense. Yes, yes I am a philosopher.

Lastly, I love a sitting at home, with a good book, in bed (in the city would be an awesome addition). Literally, my life changed when the Harry Potter series came out. I was in 5th grade when I read Chamber of Secrets...first. Hey, I didn't know there was an order. I eventually figured that out when I realized that half of the things that were being reference weren't just randomly placed thoughts but came from a book that I hadn't read. Anyway, I love the feeling of getting lost in pages. And for all my book lovers and no so lovers of books but occasional readers, I know you've felt that sense of belonging to the story. It's like with every turn of the page, you become more and more apart of the story. Yeah, you know what I mean.

So there I am. Well, a small piece of me. The rest of Victor is very weird and thinks too much and obsessed over pictures of tigers and cute puppies. Haha. But I really hoped you learned a little bit more about me, aside from the fashion side of me. I think that it's important to know people for their everyday pleasures rather than the things that they're "known" for. Hopefully, that made sense. But until next time my friends, stay fashionable. Xx

I give you::Givenchy AW 2013/14

So like I said, I've been a terrible person and haven't posted in a while. I hope this makes up for it! I did manage to check a few tweets here and there to see what people were saying about Givenchy, and let me just say that it wasn't the best. While some did love the collection, others? Not so much. But alas, I'm a Givenchy fan...even though I own not a single piece. Maybe one day

First off, can we just talk about the major Disney reference. Bambi? Bambi?! Like the happy, little deer Bambi. Loved it. Also, we had a focus on the femininity of the woman with this collection. And if that was hinted at by the lace pieces, floral prints, and snakeskin boats then...There was an element of grunge still there, however. With the oversized sweatshirts and leather.

For me, I thought the collection was great. It showed a side of Givenchy that was new to me. But then again, I only started paying attention to Givenchy about a year ago so...yeah. Awkward. Anyway, I loved it. I loved the new direction and everything about it. So yeah, that's about it. Again, sorry about the neglect. Just so many things have been going on *tear* but I'm back now. So until next time, stay fashionable. Xx

In the meantime, please enjoy this short clip. :)

Givenchy. Gi-ven-chy.
