Simple style advice for the modern man.
I just returned from a work trip to New York – I didn’t have a ton of time to explore the city on this trip, but it was still a nice change of pace from San Francisco. Weather-wise, I got a bit of everything – some sun, some rain, some cold mornings and warm afternoons. […]
San Francisco has been unbearably hot for the past few days. While summer temperatures hovering around 100 degrees may be common in many parts on the United States, it’s exceedingly rare here.
