'With not much money I started mixing not too expensive and vintage stuff and creating my own style with what I have. I think what makes every outfit special is adding your own touch and creativity. I also make DIY things for myself. I started sharing everything in my blog while getting inspiration from other bloggers, street style, art etc.
When I was a kid I used to care a lot what I was gonna wear for family parties. My mom let me choose my clothes all the time even if I wasn't good at matching stuff. I grew up learning to improve by myself getting inspiration from people, celebrities, art and found out a big interest in fashion since then. I also learned that I didn't have to spend lots of money to look good. I always put my outfits together mixing vintage, thrift store stuff, brands and not too expensive clothes. What's important in fashion is the attitude, the meaning you give to it and adding your own style.'

'My style comes from a modern classic place. Where detail, patterns and threads come together to make timeless pieces of my everyday. My style is a vision of who I want to be and how I want to be perceived.
The day I recognized that fashion was a valuable part of my life was at a young age. I always had a unique outlook on fabrics, style, and patterns. While growing up I used to go with the trends of whatever was in. From baggy pants to huge white t-shirts. However, on my quest to express my originality in fashion I came to realize that following the current fads was not me at all. I wanted a more polished and distinguished look. I began to wear button down shirts and tailored pants.
I felt my evolution when I received my first pair of loafers. They were a maroon pair of Cole Haan loafers. The shoes were a mahogany cherry oak and when I put them on it felt like I was moon walking on air. I further immersed myself in to fashion by studying various styles and never missing an opportunity to dress up. That was the beginning of me following my own trend.
At first it was mocked and not accepted by my peers, but gradually it was embraced and followed by others. From then on I have been true to myself and the trends that I set and choose to follow. I consider my style as that of a classic gentleman; timeless, elegant, and confident. The style of a man that a lady sees in her dreams and what young men aspire to be. A figure of leading by example and being your own person. Fashion is your signature. It’s your mark on the world.'

'Vintage, that word and everything about it is making a huge impact in our generation today. Fashion started somewhere and to really understand and appreciate clothing you must start from the roots. My friends are raving about the vintage and classy look now a days and it's something that I have always loved. What you wear is not just to impress those around you, it's meant to inspire life to create an atmosphere of good and hope in the world and to keep dreaming! My style is vintage because it reminds me of how far mankind has come. Thrift stores are a great place to find hidden gems, it's like you give clothing a second chance to live and that is the art of love.'
