A night of Asian Glow (and Spencer)
Speaking of standing out, I guess I can share these now: @bitchplisse shot for the EHF fit battle while we were in Joshua Tree
Recent fits in no particular chronological order
I’ve always been asked how I deal with standing out since it’s always cautioned against in most menswear circles/media. My answer is that my friends and I have always stood out, whether it was through fashion or not!
We love vintage
Spencers apartment

Fits and pics from my little weekend in Joshua Tree! Did a little blog post about it, but it’s more about how it’s been fun to take trips with friends, which is something I had never really done before!
