Scout Sixteen - Ted BakerBTS-TedBaker

Last week, I hosted an event with Ted Baker to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the London-born brand. I was stationed at the Soho store (while Refinery29 and TBSMen held down the two remaining Manhattan locations) with my gin drink in hand and a belly full of the Hotel Chocolat chocolates (note: I have absolutely zero restraint against chocolate). I had a lot of amazing friends stop by and met a few newcomers who came into the store looking for style advice. I wanted to share a few photos from the evening, as well as what I wore to the event!

Behind-The-Scenes

A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure (as part of my induction into the Target Inner Circle) to go behind-the-scenes of Target’s Fall 2013 Men’s Lookbook shoot. It’s a bit surreal to get a “never-before-seen” look into one of the most mega-retailers in America. The team behind the shoot was so talented and extremely efficient, shooting look after look with ease. I had the chance to look on and inspect each garment before it hit the lights.

Target has always been (and will always be) a destination of affordable style for me – a sentiment I know many of my readers can share. Their introduction of trendy pieces like the fair isle sweater spilling with color or the white-washed and modern camouflage shirt show how retailer continues to bring designer edge to mass market.

Most of the pieces you see above will be available beginning in August or September at your local Target store. And for those who don’t live near a Target, a selection of these pieces will also be available online! Below I’ve highlighted the pieces from my four favorite looks – which looks were your favorite?

Scout Sixteen / Sandro Paris Scout Sixteen / Sandro Paris Scout Sixteen / Sandro Paris Scout Sixteen / Sandro Paris Scout Sixteen / Sandro Paris

Paris-based brand Sandro has been a favorite designer of mine for a few seasons now. Their bohemian approach to high fashion has earned them a loyal following both on and off the pages of the world’s fashion authorities, like Elle, GQ and the New York Times.

It’s rare that I find designer pieces that I’d want to wear again and again. Sometimes the print is too heavy, or the fabric isn’t breathable – whatever it may be, I have a hard time finding “regulars” in my wardrobe. Just about every piece in Sandro’s Men’s Collection is a “regular” for me. This baseball jersey tee is - and I say this with sincerity - amazing!

I paired it with these hunter green hi-top sneakers from Inspire The Brand.

Weekend Getaway / Scout Sixteen

Last month, I went to Miami and got the beach bug. You know that unexplainable feeling that makes being inside unbearable … apparently, the only medicine for that is cloudless sunny weather and sand between your toes. That said, I’m making plans to take frequent day trips or weekend jaunts to some of the amazing spots in and around New York City.

I’ve made it a habit to keep a bag packed and ready when the travel bug starts to itch. Here’s what is inside my ‘Getaway Bag’:

1. Onia Stripe Towels  - These towels are stylish without being over-the-top.

2. Onia Shorts in OrangeThis swimsuit plays double-duty as a street short and swim trunk.

3. Onia Shorts in FloralI think we all know I can’t travel without a little floral in tow.

4. Sebago Boat Shoe - Seriously one of the most comfortable, breathable shoes I own.

5. Coach Canvas Tote – This weekend bag makes getting out the door easy and organized.

6. Frends Headphones – On the train, by the pool, or in the sand, these headphones steal the show.

7. Tom Ford SunglassesSince it’s likely the only Tom Ford item I’ll ever get to own, I make these not-so-pricey sunnies a must.

8. Goorin Brothers Straw FedoraWhen it’s hot outside, this bad boy keeps me cool. And look good on anyone, too.

8. iPad Mini – This miniature gadget keeps my life organized and stores all my favorite magazines for easy reading.

Scout Sixteen - Urban OutfittersScout Sixteen - Urban OutfittersScout Sixteen - Urban OutfittersScout Sixteen - Urban Outfitters

When Urban Outfitters asked if I wanted to rock some of their newest collaboration pieces, I jumped on the chance! UO has always been a retailer I go to for my “weekend wear”. They carry some of my favorite brands (like Burkman Bros., OBEY, Zanerobe, etc.) and – each time I go – I find myself discovering new favorites again and again.

This badana-printed shirt designed by Remi Relief exclusively for Urban Outfitters. As any Scout Sixteen reader knows, I’m a sucker for denim. I would go so far as to say it’s my guilty pleasure … denim for days and not sorry about it. I love that this particular shirt takes cues from two very Americana traditions: denim and bandanas. It’s like urban cowboy for the modern guy… and I’m diggin’ it.

Would you wear it?
