STREET STYLE // Through the hood

Jacket: Thrift Shop Sweater: Adidas Originals Pants: All Saints Sneakers: Nike Hightop

Recently I moved downtown to the heart of China Town and East Soho. Once you get used to the unique smells (took me only 4 months) and the fast paced crowds of tourists, you start to appreciate the not so normal things you see daily. Whether it's the park filled with cheerful Chinese cultures singing karaoke, the scalpers trying to sell me fake rolexes, or the many fish markets that cause you to hold your breath as you walk by - China Town has found a special place in my heart. I managed to take advantage of todays 60 degree weather and my long time friend Mitch, was there to capture the look effortlessly. You can check out his site HERE.

Usually I'm a pro believer on the whole timeless and effortless black on black on black look, but this fall I'll be challenging myself to play around with more monotone color schemes and textures. The jacket was an effortless way to take a basic sweater and jean look to the next level. Adding accessories like grey beanie, Daniel Wellington watch, and my signature Marc by Marc Jacobs backpack gave the look a cleaner yet casual simple feel perfect for a day like today.

Naughty Santa Sweatshirt // Clashist.com *THROWBACK*

8 days until christmas. Holy shit. 2014 is almost to an end. It's sad to think it doesn't feel like Christmas yet, but what's a better way to get in the mood than a Christmas sweater? Recently, LA based digital printing apparel company 'Clashlist', sent me one of their limited edition pieces called the 'Naughty Santa Sweatshirt'. This sweatshirt blends the aesthetics of today's pop culture with pictures of Santa like you've never seen him before: Smoking weed, drinking beer, making out with Mrs.Clause, even having an affair with an elf. It's hilarious and you'll be sure to get tons of funny looks while wearing it. Who knew being naughty could look this good? 

This sweater has even been seen on Miley Cyrus's crazy ass so make sure you get your hands on this limited edition piece just in time to give your grandparents a heart attack at Christmas dinner. The line is carried at Kitson, Nylon, Nasty Gal, Karmaloop, ModCloth, and Myrtle.

Amsterdam Fashion TV // MOAM COLLECTIVE 2015

As some of you may know I have been in Amsterdam the last couple weeks working on quite a bunch of new projects. One being reporting for Amsterdam Fashion TV. It was my first time really doing this so of course I was nervous. But, like they say practice makes perfect! Although I miss New York, I felt it was time to take on the next challenge of my life. There was no other place I could think of other than my favorite city Amsterdam! 

Amsterdam Fashion TV is a network dedicated to Glamour, Fashion, and Lifestyle. I never really have done any reporting or presenting before, so this is definitely a new challenge that I'm excited to be pursuing.

Let me know how I did or if you have any tips in the comment section BELOW!

TRAVEL // Saint Martin x January 2015

This trip was one of the most life changing experiences I have had in a while.

Now I bet you hear that and you're like well that's dramatic, how can it change your life? Well besides the incredible views, beaches, people, memories, music, the fact I quit smoking during the trip - it left me with a new life-style that actually is saving my life. I began to understand the power of gratuity, manifestation, and meditation.

My mind has always been programmed, or so i thought, to always think negatively, in fear, and It had left me very unhappy for a while. It affected my relationships, motivation, work, basically EVERYTHING! This trip gave me the time to learn first hand the importance of the saying "What you put out into the universe, comes back", kind of like karma, but more powerful. Anyways, I'll leave some links below if you are interested to learn more, all I wanted to share with you was that I'm much happier and your constant support has been so appreciative!

Here's some links to some of my favorite inspirational speakers on the Laws of Attraction and Power of Meditation: Abraham Hicks,  Alan Watts, and Rhonda Byrne.

Back in Buisness //

woah - i finally have a new blog!

What's up guys (girls)? Did you miss me? Or those of you that are new, nice to meet you! George Alvin here… What a crazy three years it has been! I can't believe in about four months i'll be 22! Time has flown by; I even started to grow facial hair! Anyways, there's so much to talk about and i know I took an absence for a couple months, but no worries, I'm back and have no plans for disappearing anytime soon . . . and now I have a new site that is my OWN, an online portfolio, a new job, a new way of thinking, but most of all a new happiness! 

I decided to start the blog for many reasons: One, to allow you guys to continue to follow my journey from a world of adult entertainment I knew nothing about, and into the real world pursuing my many and changing "aspirations"; but also as a place for those of you that share my interests of music, fashion, and all things crazy. "Down the rabbit hole", an infamous allusion from the 1865 classic novel Alice in Wonderland felt right to be the name for the blog. My life has been far from normal, from graduating high school and moving to New York City at such a young age, to dropping out of fashion school, traveling the world at days notice, to sky rocketing to winning adult entertainment's newcomer of the year award. So basically yes, a life full of chaos, confusion, but most of all a journey of self-revelation into who I am today! Your endless support of everything I do hasn't gone unnoticed, and I wouldn't be here motivated to do any of this if it wasn't for you. So thanks!

Many fun things to look forward to and share with you all - From parties i'm hosting in the city, to behind the scenes looks at jobs I work on, to my travel adventures! and as some of you have heard, I am working hard at getting my memoir published - it's about my 2 years in a ruthless industry and moving into adulthood. Now some of you have asked "Why the hell are you writing a memoir? you're 21." Well, if you know what a memoir is, it's a sort of story/journal of a specific time period in one's life in which a certain incident/set of incidents took place and there was a lot of personal growth. hope that answers it! So stay tuned for all information on a release date and or book tour information in the future!

Well here's to new beginnings and thanks for the love!

P.S. Leave a comment letting me know some things you'd like to see on the blog, and/or questions you'd like me to answer!

-G
