nobody said it was easy

I find it extremely hard to pull together an outfit that is both weather appropriate and comfortable in Taiwan. It is so humid and hot here that I feel like I am sweaty all the time. This outfit is breathable and perfect for a casual day out with some friends.

June 5th was my mom's 54th birthday, so we had dinner at a panoramic restaurant on the 85th floor of Taipei 101. The view was breathtaking as we overlooked the whole city of Taipei while enjoying our delicious four course meals. Family always comes first, and I just wanted to remind everyone to always appreciate the love that our family unconditionally provides us with. Treasure the time you have with them because you never know where you will be in a few years. It's definitely been hard on my family with me living in NY, my sister in LA, and my parents in Taiwan. Having to travel across the globe simply to reunite with my family has made me realize that I need to take advantage of every moment I've got with my family.

Love Always,

Eric

Who Let the Dogs Out?

Summer is more than halfway gone, and I am just having a hard time facing the fact that I AM GOING TO COLLEGE. Who will I be hanging out with? Who will my roommate be? What classes am I going to take? Am I going to be able to adapt to the hostile New York weather? So many questions, and so many doubts. I have been trying to pack everything into my suitcases, and it is just really difficult to decide what to bring and what to leave behind. I guess it is time to let go of some of my physical and emotional baggage. On a lighter note, I have been watching Desperate Housewives literally 24/7! That show is actually so good...it was completely different than my initial perception of it. It is like CSI...but with housewives! Anyway, I actually BROKE my camera...which sucks because that means I probably won't be able to do another outfit post until I get a new one. I have been considering buying this one with all the money I made from selling half my closet. Let me know what you guys think and please let me know if you guys have other suggestions! I thought it was about time to upgrade anyway and invest in a DSLR or a SLR to improve the picture quality on this blog. My look has also been featured on the Mens Fashion Now blog, go check it out!

This look was inspired by Givenchy's famous rottweiler shirt, and I just love the easiness the beanie adds to the outfit. I decided to dress up the look a little bit with some oxford shoes to complete the outfit. I hope everyone's summer is going fantastically, and I cannot wait to share with you guys my adventures in New York! :)

Love always,
Eric
