What I’m Wearing this Fall
Want to Become a Fitness Influencer? I Have an Offer for You.
Fitness is a really big part of my life— I workout nearly everyday, write often about fitness and wellness brands, and documented my 33ish mile run around the perimeter on Manhattan this past Summer.
To keep up with this rigorous training schedule, I used to take a ton of supplements. Electrolytes, creatine, magnesium, and a bunch more. And taking all of these is a f*cking huge hassle.
That was before I discovered Harlo, a 3-1 hydration supplement that has electrolytes, creatine, and collagen all-in-one.
It comes in several delicious flavors and is sold in tubs or convenient sachets for those of you who are always on the go.
Now for the offer: Harlo is looking to get this incredible product in as many people’s hands as possible and recruit a roster of Harlo athletes to give their thoughts on the brand and show how they use Harlo in their routines.
So if you are an aspiring fitness influencer and want free samples in exchange for making some easy brand content: fill out this form.
I’ll either come document your workout or you can film it yourself! This is a video I made with my boy Aaron, who is currently training for the NYC marathon.
So you get: free product, a cool video of you working out, and you join Team Harlo as an athlete.

Inside the Ven. Space x Studio Nicholson Party
Last night I took the G train all the way down to Carroll Gardens to check out Studio Nicholson’s Winter collection at NYC’s hottest new store: Ven. Space.
Upon arrival, Felix from SN told me the collection experienced a badly timed shipping delay and wasn’t in-store.
BUT… he did show me a pair of collaborative Paraboot’s crafted in a soft, supple deerskin.
They’re only making 250 of them and they drop in a few weeks, and I will be securing a pair.
In the meantime, I browsed Studio Nicholson’s Winter lineup online and here are a few of my favorite pieces—
Voe Knit Sweater - $600
Crafted from 100% RWS Extrafine Merino Wool, this sweater has a great boxy fit.
Cover Coat - $1050
This oversized wool trench coat looks perfect for the incoming snowy days. Pair this with some jeans, boots, and a cashmere beanie and you’ve got yourself a certified Winter banger. I love the espresso color too.
Loft Down Jacket - $1150
Maybe its time to retire that North Face down jacket and upgrade to Studio Nicholson’s Loft Down Jacket. I love how clean this looks.

Inside New York's Best New Menswear Store: Ven. Space
New York City is in the midst of a menswear renaissance.
What I’m Wearing this Fall
Summer is a f*cking difficult time to dress, especially in sweltering hot New York, where even the perfectly planned fit can be ruined by a delayed train in a 105°F subway station.
But with Fall finally here, I’ve been finally able to LAYER again and get some proper fits off.
I’ve picked up a ton of new stuff I’m excited to share with you all—
Ven. Space Belted Trousers
I picked up these belted wool trousers from Ven. Space a month ago and have effortlessly incorporated them into a ton of outfits. Crafted from gabardine wool and made in LA, Ven. Space’s in-house pants drape perfectly and offer a ton of room in the legs for a flowy, relaxed fit. The built-in belt is a great touch so you can wear them a bit higher above the waist and tuck in a t-shirt.
Balenciaga Denim Swing Jacket
Demna Gvasalia’s has transformed the aesthetic of Balenciaga over his nearly 10 year tenure at the brand. While most of it is too freaky for me, one jacket from his first collection has always stood out to me. I finally picked one up in my size at Luke’s on Broome St. The swing jacket is like a typical denim jacket upon first glance, but upon seeing on body you’ll see the way the jacket’s cut offers an incredibly boxy, cropped fit. You can button it up top and let it flare out around your waist, or button on the bottom and wear around your shoulders. Its pure perfection.
Auralee Mohair Sweater
Auralee makes some of the best sweaters in the game. This grey, collared one from their collaboration with Kith is crafted in Japan and is incredibly fuzzy and fun.
Supreme Flight Jacket
Yeah yeah yeah, I know I’m 26 and bought something from Supreme. Who cares? This cotton flight jacket with a leather collar is really great and doesn’t scream SUPREMEEEEEE!!!!! We’ll take it.
Ven. Space Chore Jacket
Another banger from Ven. Space’s in-house line: their take on a classic chore jacket is a great lightweight jacket to throw on for a chilly night. I like the front pockets.
