Favorite cocktail you’ve recently made:
I invited some of my dear friends over to make drinks and watch the Beyoncé documentary on HBO. There was a cute girl there who loves St-Germain who I may or may not have wanted to impress with a cool cocktail. This is what I came up with..

muddle 1/8th lemon, 2 strawberries, & 1 mint sprig
add 1/3rd St-Germain, 3/4 simple syrup, 2-3 dashes of lavender bitters and 2 oz of your favorite gin
shake and strain into a Collins glass filled with ice
garnish with a lemon wheel + mint leaf

Photographed in Nashville, TN

Raised in:
Portsmouth, Virginia

Lives in:
Nashville, Tennessee

What do you miss most about Virginia:
My family and my Alma Mater, The College of William & Mary. I feel incredibly relaxed when I’m in Virginia. When I go home, I truly rest my mind and my body. I have an incredible collection of memories as I spent from the time I was born till I was 22 years old in Virginia. I LOVE my life in Nashville but there is nothing like going home.

Now would ya look at that:
Post lunch at West End Cafe.

  • Ann Taylor blazer.
  • Zebra scarf from Fornash.
  • Calvin Klein dress. “This is my go-to feel good dress. Red is a powerful color. My grandma would have loved me in this dress as red was always her favorite color so I think about her when I wear it. I’ve worn it to speak in front of hundreds of people at the Association for Fraternity/Sorority Advisors Annual Meeting, for Valentine’s Day, post inauguration day as FLOTUS inspired me to step up my red game, and just when I need a pick me up.”
  • William & Mary Cypher Bangle, a gift from her aunt upon graduation. “I love this place and like to keep it close to me.”
  • Boots from Boot Country. “Purchased during one of my first weekends as a resident of Nashville, 3 pairs of shoes for the price of 1 means that I’m buying shoes.”

Washington D.C.

Montgomery, Alabama

How living in Alabama has influenced your style:
Living in the southeast where spring and autumn have been replaced with extra helpings of summer, I’ve learned to incorporate lightweight fabrics. Madras, seersucker, and gingham are my absolute favorites. Oh, and the bow tie! Without which, no Southern Fraternity man’s closet is complete.

Now would ya look at that:

  • J.Crew denim jacket and Bowery Classic pants.
  • Peter Millar sweater.
  • Scott Barber shirt.
  • High Cotton wool bow tie.
  • Bachrach pocket square.

Raised in:
Tomball, Texas

Lives in:
Jasper, Georgia

Favorite Southern sweet treat:
I’m a simple desert guy, and it doesn’t get any more simple than ice cream. In my opinion, Texas makes two of the greatest ice creams known to man. Blue Bell will always hold a special place in my heart, and Cookies & Cream is my go to. However, the Mexican Vanilla at Amy’s Ice Cream, mixed with Oreo’s in a shake, is my all time favorite, and I never visit Austin without getting one.

Now would ya look at that:
Mark’s newest jacket, which is over 50 years old, is one of the greatest things I’ve found in a guest room closet. It belonged to my grandfather (“Hoss”), a Lieutenant Colonel in the U.S. Army.

Paige, Part II

February 7, 2013

Photographed in Austin, TX

Raised in:
Sugar Land, Texas

Lives in:
Austin, Texas

Favorite bar(s) in Austin:
Violet Crown Social Club because it’s dirt cheap, serves seasonal Lagunitas beers, and it’s a short bike ride from my house. Whip In because they have amazing beer on tap, tasty noms, and it’s a lovely stroll through my neighborhood. Contigo (which is technically a restaurant, not a bar) because they serve tasty cocktails and they don’t make you feel like a jerk for ordering one.

Now would ya look at that:
Paige second shot a wedding with me and then took me to Violet Crown (mentioned above) where I drank $4 Bulleit’s.

  • BDG Twig High-Rise jeans.
