That Scent: Diptyque Sapin Doré

On a recent trip to Old Montreal I discovered the most amazing scent from Diptyque. When walking in the doors of the beautiful shop Cahier d’Exercices I couldn't help but notice the fragrance among the well curated Céline, Dries, and Balenciaga.

Diptyque has made a new limited edition frangrance for the holidays, Sapin Doré. I'm not in love with the design of the packaging or glass but the scent is incredible and takes me right back to Woodstock. In my opinion no one does it better than Diptyque and for the colder months Oriental Spruce is as good as it gets.

SoHo Night Run x Jake Davis Featuring Adrianne Ho

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

There's a beautiful side to SoHo you see only in the late hours of the night. SoHo after dark is kind of like a lit, empty stadium after the game. It's an incredibly interesting place to run as well as shoot an editorial. I've been really inspired by the technical women's athletic wear I'm seeing in the streets, especially the bold colors, prints, and patterns. And how it all relates to fashion.

I just try to express the things I love into visuals and hopefully you love them too. Adrianne is wearing a mix of Kapital, Supreme, Nike, A.P.C., Engineered Garments, and Carhartt. I've been called a photographer so much without ever taking a picture I thought I'd give it a shot and share it with you. Don't worry I won't be quitting my day job.

Pink Moon Or Back In Black On Bleecker

Fifty shades of black with a splash of color. Hopefully that color is as obnoxious as you can find. Black is back but it's not really like it went anywhere. I just think the city got tired of seeing all those Barbour clad lumberjacks looking like turn of the century laborers working at the RRL museum. Those kids took their uniforms too seriously and made us feel uncomfortable in our own workwear.

On to the next... Athletic wear is the new workwear. Because we don't ride motorcycles in New York. We walk and talk shit. Wake up and smell the Baies because all the flowers are dead in December.
