Always Room for Pink

Posted on by louis polo

In fashion and gender representation, pink has always been portrait as a feminine color. Simple things such as colors shouldn't be comparmentalized and limited to certain use or people. I'm so glad that for the previous few seasons fashion companies and houses have been incorporating this color into men's fashion more than before.

While browsing online, I came across a few active pink pieces and decided to buy them all 🙂 For the next few weeks, I'm going to be showing you how I styled my millennial pink clothing pieces with the intention that you guys will give pink a chance! On this occasion, I decided to throw on a beige jacket over my pink hoodie and the rest of my look in black (pants, bag, shoes). Over all, it was very comfortable and perfect for this spring weather.

I would love to know what you guys think! Let me know what other pink pieces you will like me to feature in one of my upcoming looks, I would be very happy to know.

Until next time,

 

 

SHOPPING SUGGESTIONS

Miami & Key West | Short Vlog

Posted on by louis polo

Miami & Key West are two of the many sandy destinations I visited last year. After putting together a little video and finding a few photos on my old phone I decided to share my summer experience with you all. It was my very first time in both cities and they definitely provoke me completely different feelings. Miami was great! We did everything from the most popular museums to the only legal nude beach in Florida. The architecture, the colorful restaurants, and the endless amount of palm trees really captivated my attention.

We went to the famous Calle 8 to sip on some Café Cubano and ended most of our nights at the corner cafetería for a Sandwich Cubano. I think overall Miami Beach was a very inspiring place.
After exploring all the hot spots in Miami Beach we decided to do something a little more tranquil; we took a 4 hour road trip to Key West. It was my first time visiting the Island, and from all the great things I’ve heard, I set up my expectation a little bit too high. Although Key West feels very cozy and local, it wasn’t quite what I was looking forward to.
I was hoping to find amazing crystal clear waters, white sand, and the ultimate tropical vibes – considering its only 90 miles from Cuba. From my perspective, I encountered an over crowed little town, extremely commercialized, and not even similar to any island of the Caribbean. Being from the Dominican Republic I do know of specific qualities a place has to have in order to be considered “Exotic” – for a lack of a better word. Key west didn’t meet any of those qualities.
Okay… Enough with the negatives. Key West is definitely one of the best places, if not the only, where you can enjoy the perfect Key Lime while at a clothing optional bar 🙂 – It cant get better than that!

Let’s Run to the Dominican Republic

Posted on by louis polo

The Dominican Republic has always been one of my favorite places to vacation, not only because is my motherland, but because of the beauty of its people. As many of you know, I was born in this beautiful island of the Caribbean. Besides the amazing hotel accommodations, the gorgeous white sandy beaches, and the great food, the best part if the hospitality of my people. Dominican will immediately make you feel like home! Even if you’re not from the island, most people will incorporate you into the culture.

When visiting any part of the country, I strongly recommend everyone not to stay at the hotel for the time of their stay. I strongly suggest you go out and explore your surrounding so that you can get a sense of the authentic Dominican culture.

I wanted to share with all of you a slightly different face of my motherland from my last visit. When visiting, make sure you don’t forget to sip on a fria presidente and eat some fritura while enjoying the crystal clear waters.

Until next time,
Louis
