September happenings for Angel's Point of View

The past few weeks have been busy on my end. A week long cold took me out of the game for a bit. Some traveling, and lots of planning for the next couple months have also kept me indoors, I've been a bit behind on posting so do forgive me.

Aside of that September should be a fun month.

If your in New York City, I'll be roaming the streets during fashion week.

The Southern Street Style Tour moves on, look for my visit to Charlotte airing the 10th on the Angel's Point of View YouTube channel.

I'll be headed to our nations capital next month as well filming for the Street Style Tour. My new filming schedule will keep me on track airing a new video each month till December!

Next month you'll also see my addition to the Street Style Tour called "Street Style Detours." These short video clips will be of street style finds in cities and towns not on the tour while on the road.

Happy Hump-day everyone!

Its that time of year again, the long awaited "September Issues" are hitting stands and mail boxes world wide. While I hope you enjoy your encyclopedia sized magazines of upcoming fashion greatness (because we all know that many of you guys pick up Vogue only once a year to keep your September GQ from getting lonely). It's important to remember that magazines are companies supported by the ever changing business side of the fashion industry, take in all your new found knowledge with a grain of salt.

Fashion changes season to season, year to year, style is every lasting.

Southern Street Style Tour Peview - Charlotte

What did I end up finding on my recent trip to Charlotte North Carolina? I guess you'll have to wait to see when the Charlotte episode airs next month. Here is a sneak peak of the ground works of my street style finds in the Queen City.

Goodwill Industries Second Runway 2012

This has been the second year I've been invited to attend the annual fundraising fashion show event put on by Goodwill Industries of the Valleys in Roanoke. Its a great event supporting a great organization and this year I got a front row seat. Its sometimes hard to pick out standout looks at smaller fashion shows, so its all up to the models to do the work. Here are my two favotire images from the runway portion of the event.

I felt the event was a great success! My only complaint this year was the street style and guest style was lackluster, more suiting for the bank or a courtroom than a standout annual fashion event. I really enjoyed myself, however I hope as Second Runway becomes a more established event, more of the local fashion community will come out to support the show (I'm talking to all you self proclaimed fashionistas in the Roanoke area.). Oh well, great work to my friends at Goodwill Industries! Too the not that stylish attendants, there's anyways next year.

To Code: Camouflage and Fashion

To Code: A Guide to Being A Better Gentleman 

. After spending the better part of a decade wearing camo every single day in the  US Air Force, you'll only find me wearing a my camo rain jacket every now and then. This past season though, the runway has been cluttered with camouflage, some good, some bad.

I don't reprimand those who wear camo apart of their civilian wardrobe, I do however have a basic guideline to doing this right.

- If the US armed forces are currently wearing said camouflage pattern, you should not. Opt for obsolete styles, the most recently retired pattern is the Woodland battle dress uniform. Everyone has gone digital (which is what they call the patterns now), or to MultiCam (a.k.a., badass camo that actually works). Prime example, this monstrously of a fashion statement. (The Navy doesn't even like them). Wear the vintage stuff, its cooler looking anyways.

- If you didn't earn them, don't wear them. Unless its a family hand me down from a Dad, Aunt, uncle, etc., take off the name tape, branch, patches, Ribbons or medals. Some Vets take that stuff pretty seriously, don't be disrespectful to them by having no connection to what those things symbolize.

- Take it to the tailor. Much of mens fashion can be rooted to military uniforms throughout history, and how they are worn and altered to fit doesn't fall to far from the status quo of modern fashion tailoring; slim and trim.

Second Runway... On the Street

Remember Tea from the Roanoke visit on the Street Style Tour? Some how she's popping up everywhere now. This is a good thing.

Style Street turned 1!

Did you know that Style Street turned 1 years old last month? Thats right! That's 12 months of street style gold in Southwest Virginia, over 500 comments online, over 20,000 new online visitors, and over 1,000,000, yes, 1 Million copies of Style Street that made its way into peoples news papers adding a little fashion to their lives. (and 2 hate letters.) Next time you see anyone from The Roanoke Times, give them a hug, tell them Angel sent you.

Here's to another year of Style Street!
