So, I renamed my blog “The Rule Book”, because in fashion you can either follow the rules or break them and still be right, just so long as it works. Hopefully my posts will serve as inspiration and guidelines to either adhere to or completely disregard, whichever you choose. However, there is one rule that everyone should stick to; wear what makes you individual. Because at the very core of your style is you, so wear it, do it, be it, live it, just make sure that it reflects who you are.

Cordially,

Lorenzo
