It is starting to get cold outside, and I couldn't be any happier! Today was a great cool summer day in New York, so I decided to wear my new GAP hooded cardigan and my gifted HUDSON Jeans.  Check out my fresh.

Recently I attended the Argyleculture Fall 2010 Menswear Presentation in New York City as the contibuting men's editor for Style IT.

The party was great and Russel Simmons did an amazing  job with the collection - perfect for the hip, young professional. The models came out to a photoshoot type set, with this video playing against a white screen.

Check out some of my favorite pieces from the collection below and if you like what you see, go check out their selection at Macy's.

I am really excited to see the film Casey Affleck shot highlighting Joaquin Phoenix's attempt at a rap career called, I'm Still Here. I actually had the privledge to be around when they shot the footage with Diddy and who knows, you might even see me in the background of the studio shot!

This movie is going to be epic, and both Joaquin Pheonix and Casey Affleck were great to hang with!  

On our last day in Jamaica, we decided to take a trip into Negril to check out the world famous Ricks Cafe and catch a beautiful Caribbean sunset.  I wish I had more time in paradise but like all good things, this trip too has to come to an end.

Until next time....

This trip has been amazing thus far! During day 3 we played some beach volleyball, had an hour long massage on the beach, enjoyed the lazy river on the resort and become locals at the swim up bar at the pool. Last night, Kara and I played in the Ideal Couples game, where we went against three other couples in a dance off.  For someone who can't dance, namely myself, we did a great job taking second place!

After spending a few days on the resort, we decided to take a guided tour, so we signed up for the Cool Runnings Dunn's River Fun Cruise! Our tour started out going to Crystal Cove for snorkeling over a coral reef, and then proceeded to Dunn's River Falls for an adventurous trip up the waterfall! It was great fun and I would reccomend it to anyone who comes to Jamaica!

Here are some more pictures from the trip:

Today was our first full day in Jamaica, and as such wanted to discover more about what the resort had to offer.  Waking up at a respectful 10:00 AM we decided to head to to the main buffet for breakfast.  The food was delicious and I enjoyed a ham and cheese omelet with french toast and fruit.

After breakfast, my girlfriend and I headed over to the water sports center where we grabbed some snorkeling gear and hit the water.  I didn't find Nemo, but we did see some friendly fish who followed us everywhere we went!  After we returned our snorkeling equipment, we walked off the resort to some shops that were on the beach.  All the vendors were happy to see us and asked us all to check out their shops, which contained beautiful hand carved wood masks, sculptures and paintings.

During lunchtime the resort offered a BBQ on the beach. The food was delicious and I ended up having jerk chicken, rice and beans and some fresh fruit.  After a long day on the beach we decided we needed some self indulgence, so we decided to check out the spa.   The spa was amazing, offering a large hot tub and saunas with hot or cold baths.  We decided that we needed to more self indulgence, so we made a reservation for the following day for massages on the beach.

We have arrived in Jamaica and in Caribbean culture fashion everyone gave the Captain a round of applause for a safe arrival! We took an airport shuttle to our airport, Iberostar Rose Hall Beach Suites Hotel and got a nice tour on the way.

When we arrived our rooms were not ready, so we walked around the resort and checked the place out. The resort has three different hotels connected, with access to four pools, a lazy river (which is really lazy) four restaurants, and endless entertainment!

This is going to be a great trip…
