HELLO SPRING

Hello Fams,

I hope y'all are doing great, my New Yorkers, I hope you're dealing well with the the weather, I know, the weather hadn't been nice lately. But I can say IT'S SPRING!  Well I hope it is finally here. It was actually a nice day shooting this.  

Spring is my favorite season of the year, because I get to dress comfortably while still layered up whether you are dressing up or dressing down depending on the occasion, as supposed to wearing so much layers in the winter and feeling sometimes uncomfortable, or wearing something so light yet sweating from the crazy heat. Spring is just it for me.

Believe it or not, I am totally a suit person, but I've developed so much for T-shirts and jeans because I find them easy-to-go wears unless you have to appear really professional. I love plain T's no pressure, but sometimes i like my bottoms have some kind of details on the whether patters, or stripes or ripped like the jeans  I'm wearing... oh, and the jeans were too long, hence why I had to DIY-cut them.

The jacket is from H&M is from like 3 years ago, almost everything else i have on you can get from the sm store, shoes are from Zara, Hat- from Jagzz

A CLASSIC FALL

Hello guys, 

I hope all is well with you all, I'm gonna start by telling you that summer as you already know has officially ended, and now my favorite season has come upon us all. I love the fall season just for the fact that i get to play dress up nearly all the time, and the whole tradition of "layers", just like any other fashionistas, I love to layer up, from shirts to sweater to blazer to coat, it just gives me more leeway to be creative. 

Now to the 'turtlenecks', they are the new trend this season,everybody is wearing one, especially me, i never used to like them cause they seem weird and would never have spent my money on them, but seeing that they have been 'modernized' so to say, i decided to add one to my wardrobe.  and the coat, I'm loving it, well the story behind that is; it was one of those days i just decided to stop by Old Navy, just to look around, but lucky me found the coat and i decided not to drop it.

THE KING

Hello guys,

I hope this post meets you well, blogging is not as easy as it is trust me, and it's only meant for just the people who are meant to do it. But all in all to become a successful blogger one day requires being consistent and hoping to get discovered one day.  

Anyway, I'm not here to discuss how to be a successful blogger, that's because I am not there yet, but of course I will surely let y'all know when I get there by God's grace. You might be wondering why my title says "The King", well, I will let you know that my name "Igwe"  is an Igbo language From Nigeria, west Africa, which means King, hence the name of this blog.

We are born ROYALS, and our purpose is to create our own world and build our own kingdoms and reign without questioning. 

I am trying to put this post forward as humbly as I possibly can... I am a King! And I want everyone to see me as such. Believe it or not, I am nothing less than a king, my reasons; looking back at my upbringing, I was never from the wealthiest home, but i never suffered really, yes at one point my parent couldn't afford few things like luxurious cars, big house, even maybe couldn't pay my school tuition on time... Basically I wasn't born with a silverspoon, but I happened to have this superpower of always being at the right place at the right time, well I should rather say "most of the time" and I am at this place where i can confidently confidently call myself a King even if no one calls me that or recognizes that. Like I once said "Believe in yourself so much that it wouldn't even matter if there is  anybody else who believes in you, because the reality is, the ultimate faith in yourself is your only chance at making it".

You have to believe in yourself even when no one does, matter of fact, believe in yourself the most when you start doubting your own abilities, that's the only way you can make it. 

No one is born to suffer, we are created to find our pupose and be great at fulfilling those purposes... Now that's what keeps me going; knowing that I've got a purpose to fulfill. I don't want anybody to give up on their dreams, one day we will get there!!! 

Well the reason why i decided to motivate today is because, recently, I have come to understand what it is to want to succeed so bad! It's not even a competition... But rather a matter of finding lifetime happiness. I call myself King (IGWE) because in this world I wanna reign as one, and that's why i dress as one. You are what you call yourself, so call yourself something positive, God had already created us Great! Might as well start living as such.

I love sweaters, especially knit sweaters, this one that I have on, Is my favorite sweater in my closet, and this was specifically hand-picked by the  famous and the best footy athlete of all time, David Beckham. Over the years, he had been able to make a statement in the fashion industry, owning his line and being a Sole partner with the popular brand H&M.

This knit sweater is one of the H&M's Fall Collection that David Hand picked, they were called "David Beckham Fall Essentials"..if you go on hm.com you should find a video that David and famous comic star Kevin Hart did, it is a funny one.

Classic Hustler

“Put your head down, march on, don’t look left or right, but only look up when you have completed your vision”

— CRAIG PORT

hello everyone, I know I haven't posted on here for a while now, I apologize for slacking. I promise to keep working and be more conistent. Anyway, how are y'all dealing with the weather, what a drastic one right! Well, I  hope you are ready for this Winter, I have a feeling this one's gonna be brutal, so i advise you invest in strong and really thick outerwears, only the healthy enjoys the fruit of his hard work. Gear up while you work hard.

       Well as an upcoming men style blogger, I am not where I really want to be yet, but I am working on it. But the question is; where do I want to be? and when? Thus, what we call a goal. We all set goals for what we want to achieve, and it helps a lot, because if you want to grow, you have to have a set plan, goals and all. Most people start a fashion blog to get free clothes, lol, some have other reasons, but where I wanna be is that place where I become a brand ambassador for both brands in the fashion industry and beyond. For those who know me, I am involved in a lot of this, just because I am a man of many talents and which at this stage of my life, I am exhibiting those gifts and building them to get better. I am not really gonna be talking about what I'm wearing in this shoot, rather I will get personal, just to share a bit of what's going on with me with those that can relate.

It took me a while to start this blog officially, but i thank God for certain people who either directly, or indirectly motivated my spirit to kick this off. I started this blog at the time I started, not because it took me so long after so many procrastinations over the years, even though I wished I had started earlier, and I probably would have been a big shot by now, or something else would have happened, I do believe in God's timing which I believe also, it's the best.

There are just certain things in life that kick your butt, and you be like "I gotta do something tangible for myself, so I could mean something to myself and people around me". My ULTIMATE GOAL is "Genuine Happiness", I know everyone wants that too, now, what is your own happiness? what is it that you'd achieve today or anytime soon that represents "genuine Happiness" to some it's wealth, to some it's true love, to some, it's doing what they really want to do career wise, to some, it's reuniting with long lost family. Well mine is doing what I love, and being rewarded and being known widely for it, also, finding true love, that's another struggle for anyone who relates, it is hard to find "the one" and that's another topic to be addressed another time. To sum that up, Success and Love sums up my typical happiness, and GOD being at the center of it all.

well to become a successful person, you have to figure out who you are and what you want to do with yourself, growing up as a "church boy" I have experienced so many situations of "conflict of personalities" I got confused about so many things, like what kind of person to date, the  kind of places to places to be at, what to drink or eat, and what to do with my life. I have had people call me pastor, I could assume my lifestyle prompted that, but when you start hearing from men of God that that God wants to use you, you know that's another level. People who really know me would agree with that. Yes, I don't mind doing God's work when he calls me, and that's why I have been careful of how I live my life. Whether you believe it or not, God is the real purpose of life, and until you surrender, and leave everything to God, you would be parabulating around the same spot for a long time.

I have been around people who I thought were better than me, I mean still am around people who are doing better, like relatives, or close friends, maybe you too, but the fact that your life isn't going the way everybody else's are, doesn't mean that it's over for you as long as you don't give up. This not a success story, but that to motivate every hardworking people out there: 

DO NOT GIVE UP! KEEP PUSHING, BREAKTHROUGH IS DOWN THE LINE!!

Well, fall is here, and it's my favorite season and I get to wear suites and layer up, here I am wearing a wool plaid blazer I got from H&M last year. This outfit is perfect for a "Classic hustler", whether you have a 9-5 job or you are a freelance hustler. Wearing a wool jacket or coat is just right!
