]]> That New York Times article was right. Sometimes you really need more than a selfie.

Makeup artists and photographers have a natural alliance. So when Richmond, Virginia photographer, Sean DeWitt, told me that he had a model shoot, I saw this as a perfect opportunity to exercise my makeup artistry. Honestly, I never knew how many women did not feel confident doing their own makeup. My mother, Kyle (whom I’ve talked about before) is a makeup artist extraordinaire and being raised at her feet, I was bound to pick up a few– quite a few– tricks.

Nicole...look at those eyes! Nicole is wearing "Mirage" Intense Eye Shadow Trio, Eye Perfecting Pencil in "Jade", Spectaculash Intense Mascara in Black, "Gilded Bronze" Marble Blush Duo, "Sand" Hydrating Lip Color and "Posh" Moisturizing Lip Gloss.

I was unable to resist doing a little rebranding and a grabbing a photo before I was done with Sean…

]]> I have another blog. I know. I am an internet adulteress. My other blog, Kerriestella: Just So You Know, has been my main thing for a few years now and seems to get much more of my love as of late. I think its more free-form focus– music, politics, pop culture– lends itself to more posts because I don’t really have to think about it…it’s practically automatic. But I realize my automated tendencies have left this blog missing out on some awesome content.

Let’s do a little flashback, shall me?

It was the first hot day in May and I took my largely unwilling boyfriend, Yannick on a little photo expedition:

Yannick @Flood Wall
My favorite place in Richmond: The Flood Wall Murals

Young men, let’s say in their mid-20’s to mid-30’s, are in a tricky position. It can be hard to find a way of looking pulled together, professional, young AND casual in menswear! I see many guys– particularly in Richmond– rocking the faded polo and khaki cargo shorts that look like they were bought 5 years ago or ankle skimming shorts and a the proverbial “white tee”. All of that works when you’re a college kid, but for the average American man, it might be best to age the wardrobe.

Yannick does a great job of dressing casually– this is literally a “jeans and t-shirt” outfit. Simple things help to make the outfit age-appropriate: the cut of the shirt is slim with a notched collar, indicating that some thought went into the choice. The jeans are slim, straight-legged in a contemporary wash– no one would mistake them for high school holdovers.

Yannick @ The Canal Walk
Walking on sunshine.

And I think this one was my favorite (I’m a sucker for that sunshine):

The Light.

Yannick dresses much as I would if I were a man: simple lines, easy fabrics and close fits. He uses color confidently, taking what could be a very simple outfit to one laced with impactful monochrome:

Check out those kicks.

Menswear can be tricky business when you’re dealing with the “young, professional and casual” set. What are your favorite casual menswear looks?
