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.

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. “

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!
I’m a twenty-something from Monterrey, Mexico living the American dream in the US. I live in Seattle and I work in the tech industry. I decided to write a blog because I’m a big fan of style and fashion and I wanted to share this with other people. I like to travel a lot and visit new places. My motto is be bold and let the world hear your voice.
I’m Elisa (E for short). I was born and raised in New York City and started my fashion design career there almost twenty years ago. I currently live in Seattle with my husband, Peter, and daughter, Kinsley, and LOVE the PNW.
My passion and love for fashion have shown me many adventures. Through my travels and experiences in the fashion industry, I’m ready to tell my “side” of the story.
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.

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.

Casually Cool with elements of luxury. Let the pants and the jacket do the talking. - Richard Meharry
SOUTHERN GENTLEMAN
It doesn't matter if you're off to the races or not. This look will get you attention at the race track or at the new rooftop bar. If it gets too hot, lose the jacket but not the aesthetic.
AIRPLANE MODE
Travel in style and comfort. Tune out crying babies with some headphones and skip baggage claim with an all-purpose bag. With looks like these you should be on more than one runway.
TUESDAY TUX
Get more use out of your tux by making it casual. This look is casual enough to go to the grocery store and formal enough for events and professional wear.
SELL OR BE SOLD
This isn't a fashion show. Let them know you mean business when you walk into the boardroom. Remember a tie bar and pocket square will show you care about attention to detail.
