How to buy gender neutral clothes

Finding clothes can be challenging on its own. Those shopping outside the binary construct find this task equally as difficult. With this in mind we linked up with personal shopper Tannya Bernadette from My Closet Edit. In this video we visit J. Crew, Anthropologie and Banana Republic while discussing different ways to build and style a gender neutral closet. Join us for the looks that worked and the looks that didn’t.

The Art of Dating || Featuring Joli Seattle

A great date should have your personality hidden in the details. Remember you can't connect with someone if they're connecting with the fake you, so leave the posturing at home. Cherish the responsibility of choosing the activity, the company,  and the setting. You never know this could become your reality, well at least the sentiments. With the ingredients of  ambience and aesthetic one can create an environment of romance.  A moment that she will remember long after even if you aren’t “THE ONE. “ You don’t need a suit. Just  make sure to wear a smile.  If you do it right, it won’t matter how the bill is paid.  Besides she doesn’t need you for a free meal because at the end of the day we all just want something real. In the off chance you take an L, Make sure the foods good. “

 

Dinner For Two Give Away.

We understand even the seasoned dater needs an assist from time to time. From the first date to keeping love alive we got you! We have partnered with Joli Seattle to give you a dinning experience for two. Just follow the directions below. There is even an additional FREE Gift.

The Mindset of Achievers || How To Get Ahead In 2019

Don’t live the same year 75 times and call it life. Many believe that success is reserved for the few, when many times success can be summarized by a few dozen fundamentals repeated over time. Knowing this AMAS wanted to give you a roadmap for the new year.

We enlisted the help of Motivational speaker, Author and Coach Bernard Bergan. His experience on the battle field have made him an authority on goal setting and mission success. The challenges you face may not be life and death but our discussion will challenge you to change the habits that are holding you back. We will also give you strategies to improve your character, book suggestions, and principles to enrich your journey.

I started this blog 2 years ago to mainly talk style, and I've learned in that time that actually, I can have more of an impact and connect with others through my stories. My life has not been perfect. I've made some huge, monumental mistakes, and had to learn things the hard way at times. I've also had many successes and a whole lot of fun, so that's why I've decided to shift gears a bit and focus more on stories and style together. I want to share my genuine raw experiences in hopes that they will enable me to connect, learn, and grow with you guys!

My motto is be bold and let the world hear your voice.

As a creative individual with a thirst for inspiration, I’ve created this blog as a space to write all I know about fashion through my daily life  and travels adventures.

Fall Inspiration

It’s the most wonderful time of the year (and no, we are not talking about X-mas or the return of  Pumpkin spice lattes)!. For the fashionisto, fall is a sacred time where one can tout his mastery of textures and layering.

Layering up: the AMAS way

You will want to invest in pieces made of Merino Wool and Cashmere. As far as layers go, cardigans are your friend. The easy hack this season, is to make your outwear the outfit. One simple t-shirt or button up - with jeans and boots - can be elevated with the use of a topcoat, quilted vest or Peacoat. Switch out the jeans with slacks, add a tie with a tie bar, and that’s another sophisticated look for the office. No matter what your style is, make sure your autumn looks are as crisp as the weather.
