G.H. BASS MAINE TRIP (LOOK 7 )

Posted on October 25, 2016

When Styling the GH Bass Ranger Moc II Lyndon Hi Bison Boot (in Medium Brown), I wanted to go with a denim rugged look. I wore this mostly denim look, pairing these awesome polo carpenter jeans with this G-Star denim jacket. To try and edge it up I wore an olive turtle neck….which are currently two of my faves: the color olive and turtlenecks! (need more) These boots are different than most because they come right out of the box with that comfortable broken-in feel. The leather is sooooo soft, and the rigid sole adds to the softness that you feel when you’re walking…by far the most comfortable boot I EVER wore! I also love the texture of the leather. I might be in love with these 🙂

CASUALLY FALL WITH @JCPENNEY

Posted on September 29, 2016

I’ve partnered up with JCPenney to show you how I pieced together 2 of their pieces to create this fall look. With so many great affordable brands to choose from I decided to go with these great Arizona Chino Flex Joggers (in Winter Moss Green) and this Arizona Short-Sleeve Baseball Tee. I completed my look with a denim jacket that I already owned. I love how olive and denim go together! The best part about this outfit is that even though it looks great, I was also really comfortable. The baseball shirt is a padded jersey material (I love the little bit of texture) and the joggers are somewhat thin – which gave it that flowy look and a great fit, and made them so comfortable. As an added accessory, we took out my wife’s 79 Corvette to take in some local scenery at a farm not too far from my house. What guy doesn’t like taking photos with a classic car like this! I love the fact that I can hop on a train to the city and still live so close to this beautiful area! My entire look from JCPenney was under $60 and it was #SoWorthIt!

G.H. BASS MAINE TRIP (LOOK 6)

Posted on September 26, 2016

The Quail Hunter High Lace Boot is my favorite boot from the G.H. Bass collection and is actually a new style they added this year. I really like the rugged work boot style and the fact that they didn’t make the boot too chunky. I’m a sucker for high boots and the rubber lug sole makes it easy to take them off road. These also come in 3 different colors: whiskey (which is what I’m wearing here), black (which you better believe I’ll be wearing before fall begins), and mahogany. I wore a slim fit kaki pant that came to just about the top of the boot and layered a gray H&M turtle neck with a Levis denim and a blue Ralph Lauren jacket. I like trying to dress up a work boot, more than you would normally do, all while still keeping it casual if that makes sense LOL. I kept the outfit fitted and classic to keep the look clean, to contrast the ruggedness of the boots. These boots were perfect for exploring and chasing Nate all around the rocks on the island of Vinalhaven, Maine 🙂

FALL FASHION IN #MYEASTLANDSHOES

Posted on November 20, 2015

One of the most depressing times of the year can be when the summer comes to an end, but it shouldn’t be because there is so much to look forward to in the following months! September is the start of apple picking and apple cider donuts (yum!), October has pumpkin picking, fall festivals, Halloween and to me is the start of boot season. Almost every weekend towards the end of September and throughout October we go to different farms to either do some apple picking, pumpkin picking, or just to try different donuts lol. So far my favorite donuts are from Vera’s Fruit & Vegetable Market in Cold Spring, with Fishkill Farms as a close second. When my family and I went to Fishkill Farms I broke out my Levis denim jacket with the sherpa lining. You can never go wrong with a denim jacket – with this one the sherpa lining just lets you extend wearing it into the colder temps. I have been wearing Eastland’s since high school. For me and my friends it was the go-to boot and still is for me. With all the different collections like the Made in Maine, 1955, and Mark McNairy I’m able to have different styles for all my different looks. I recently received these 1955 Sherman boots from Eastland and thought this was a perfect time to break them in. I already owned a pair in suede so I knew I was going to love them and was eyeing the leather for a while. The vibram sole makes this boot comfortable while giving the boot a rugged look. I also really like the height of the boot and the rich color – just a classic everyday boot to have!
